' PLANTATION m Northumberland
county, situated "on the mouth of
Came river,' open to Potawmack and the
bay, cbnsisting' of:: large two story dwel
Fling.house, with all convenient outhouses,
quite new. It abounds with fish and
oystcrs, and in the winter season is extra
ordinary good for sowling. Jt is also con
sivcniem, to church, court, and several
milis; and I can assure any gentleman,
who has a desire to settle near the water,
that a more healthy and convenient seat is
ssnot in this colzzny. In short, it is out of'
mysipower to give the place such a charac
t'er as I think it deserves; therefore, shall
'leave it to the examination of those who
have : mind to treat for it. Term:
may be known by applying to the sub
scriber, swing- in the asoresaid county,
