D APPAHANNOCK LAND EOR SALE.
IL i offer for sale Tract of Land known by
the name of Mulberry Island, containing ;, 1855
acres, lying on The Rappahannock river, in Rich
mond county, about three miles above Tappa-
hammock. The Improvements on the river part
OF the Estate are, an Overseers house, and the
usual out houses on a farm of its size. The wa
ter is excellent, and the situation as healthy if
not more SO, than residences usually are upon
tide water 1t is not remembered that an adult
slave has died upon the estate i'll the last ten
years.
There are, within the river part oil the farm,
between eight and nine hundred acres oil arabic
land, comprising an ample extent OF river bottom
of the first quality low grounds, only few years
in cultivation; table land and marsh, which yields
early and abundant pastures. The CROWN oi
the marsh, when cut and cured, Is excellent nay.
To one who would unite the pursuit OF graZer
TO that of farming the marsh would be as valua-
BILE as any other part OF the farm. The mari
banks (of which there are threc) afford an ample
supply Of manure. The forest, besides wood for
fuel abounds with the more valuable kinds OF
timber such as chestnut locust, maple, cedar,
&c, and. by proprietor residing on or near the
farm, might be made a source OF great profit
No estate in the Northern Neck is better adapted
to the raising of hogs and in that respect its cx
tensiye woods and marshes have been very valll-
able. Il is thought that the shore might be haul
ed to great advantage and was few years ago
leased 10 an experienced fisherman, but he dying
soon after, its value remains yet unexplorcd.-
The house, &c, erected by him for this purpose,
are standing and in good repair. Tie back part
OF the Estate has been divided into several small
farms OF different sizes. upon which neat and
commodouS tenements have been erected, which
