tag 1600 acres of choice land, confining of 8 Inter
val lots (so called) which contain about 600 acres,
and of ten 100 acre lots more of good upland; the
whole adjoins, and lies in a comply body, and is
delightfully situated on each fide of the great road,
leading from Darthmouths College to Haverhill (Co
hafs), The land has been found by experience to
be well adapted for every kind of produce. There
were about 40 tons of English hay cut on it iaft
feafoi, and it is likely 70 may next, by reason of
additional improvements that have been made, where
large crops of wheat and other grain grew. Ten
acres of ground were well prepared, and (owed with
winter wheat the iflof September lull; twenty acres
now lays burnt over, and twenty acres more of
trees fill, ready for burning, clearing, planting
and sowing ; so that ft is advantageoefly circemfcan
ced for the purchaser to enter on next spring: Two
dwelling houses, two large barns, and convenient
out houfa finding thereon ; also, two young
orchards, set with about 500 apple-trees.---This
farm is also finely situated for a large trade or tavern,
not only by its lying co so public a road, but also its
being near a place called Claybrook, where a ferry
is improved for puffing westward into the Grants
and State of Vermont ; also another road eastward
to Plymouth, and by Winnepifeokee Lake to Pouf
mouth, besides other roads going different coatfes.
Any gentleman Inclining to purcraft said farm,
may have a more full account of the Situation, qua
lity of it, &c. by enquiring of Major Jonathan
Child, who lives near the premises. Also, ftvtral
other INTERNAL LOTS, (so called) be
tween Col. Moray's feat and a traA fold to Dr. Sa
mael Todd, lying on the great road near the upper
end of the town ; there is on them a large quantity
of pine timber, suitable and handy to turn into the
river for a market below. Also 58 one hundred
acre lots es land in said Orford. Also. two tbou
fand and Ave hundred acres, or thereabouts, in the
south-east part of the town, bounded on Lime and
Wentworth, and lies undivided with land of etker
proprietors. Also. feve^l lots of land in Piermont,
a town joining to Orford -a number of lots in Ha
verhill, adjoining Piermont -a number 'of lots in
Bath, adjoining Haverhill-- a number of lots in Ly
man, adjoining Bath and a number of lots in
Gouthwalt, joining also to Bath, all lying in the
county of Grafton ; which he will fell reasonably,
as well any, or all the before mentioned lots and
farm, for hard or paper moneys current bills of ex
change, pieties, cattle, &c. give a rcafcnable cre
dit for a principal r&rt, if moA ageable. Any gen
tlemen desirous ct purchaliag any of fa ? d Ends,
may know particularly the price and term#, by a,
plying soon, to said Motion, at Hampton, after the
ft ft day of February next.
The transportation t^ the towns abovementioned
la by way of Wkroepifeokte Lake (where a large
Bore will be kept) and is without doubts the beH
situated for carrying on a greater inland trade of any
within many hundred miles of it : Indeed nature
has accompanied it with fa maay advantageous cir
cumfances, that a great trade mull of eojrfi center
there- -ft lie# in the most direa line for travelling
and transportation from Portsmouth to Haverhill,and
other towns in and near the lower Cohafs : Its dis
tance is about 62 miles from Portsmouth, viz. from
Portfinouth to Dover (with good transportation by
water) about twelve miles; from Dover to Lieut.
Charles Rogers, at the eagerly part of said Lake
(land carriage and very good road) short of 30
miles ; then across the Lake to Senter harbour, about
20 miles; so that It appears that more than half the
diAance is good transportation by water. -The dis
tance from this place to fendry towns in Cohaf, and
on Conneaicat river, it about 44 miles, viz. to
Plymouth twelve milts : from Plymouth to sundry
towns on the river, by different roads and through
fettled towns, about 32 miles in general : So that
the whole difance is but 106 miles, which is 15 or
20 miles nearer than to any other seaport ; befidea
their not having the advantage of water carriage.
Thus situated, at Itaft 50 towns will find it their in
tareft to get their Supplies here, and turn in their
flour, wheat, rye. corn, peas; pork, beef, &c. if
trade waseftabllfhed under good regulations. And
notwlthftandiug the great and promising p/ofosA of
this place for tra^e, aud of its increasing value yet
as the said Moulton is greatly engaged in bufyfs
dfewhere, that it would be inconvenient for him to
undertake the whole, therefore he would resign up a
considerable part to any able gentleman, or company
of gentlemen, that will undertake to Supply the
towns above, to whom he will fell at a reasonable
price.

TH E Subferiber wants to purchase a quantity
