A number of Farming Utensils, and a
variety of Household and Kitchen Furui
ture. A credit of twelve months will b,
given on all sums Of FIVE dollars and IN
wards, the purchaser giving bond and ap
proved security.
Also. at the same time and place, will
be offered the Farm, of which the said
Christian Allemong died seized. living IN
the county OF Jefferson, about half mile
from the head Of Bullskin run. and abou,
one mile from the Winchester and Poto.
mac Rail Road. Said farm contains alb out
800 acres
The land is Of good quality. has suffi-
cicnt quantity Of timber, and is now in a
good state Of cultivation. The improve.
ments are tolerably comfortable dwelling
house with corresponding supply OF out
houses; two good wells ofexcellent water
and several good ponds. Upon the whole
the situation is quite desirable one, and
the value Of the farm will doubtless be en-
HANGED by the erection of depot on the
rail way, within two miles of the same.
The terms Of the sale will be as follows:
Four thousand dollars of the purchase
money TO remain in the hands of the pur.
chaser during the natural life of the wild
ow ofsaid deceased, bearing interest from
the time of sale, payable annually TO the
widow, after whose death the whole is TO
be paid in three equal annual instalments
10 the executor; said sum 10 be secured
by deed Of trust on the premises, condi-
toned for the regular payment of the in
terest TO the widow the residue of the
purchase money to be paid one third in
hand, one third at the expiration of two
years from the day of sale. But it is I'm
derstood, that should the decease Of the
widow happen within two years from the
day Of sale. the payment Of the install
mems OF the four thousand dollars will
not be required to commence until the ex
piration Of three full years from the day
of sale. The payments falling due at the
end Of the first and second years after the
purchase, will also be secured by a deed
of trust on the premises.
Persons wishing to view the farm will
