" hLUhbLE ANN, ANDFARMING UTEN-
SlLS AT AUCTION.-The subseribers will
offer at public sale on Tuesday, the 18th Of Sen.
tember, at IL O'clock on the premises, that very
valuable and highly improved farm lying in the
county of Washington, ID. c., part of the estate Of
the late Alex. Shepherd. 1t would hardly be DEEM
ed necessary to give any description of this land and
its improvements to persons residing in this county,
as II is generally acknowledged to be one of the
most beautiful, healthy, and desirably situated
tracts in the whole country, being bounded all round
but on one side by two county roads Of the most
easy and safe travel II is situated near Rock Creek
church, about a half hours ride from Washing
ton. The soil is of very superior quality, and
nearly the whole Of the cleared part hghly-impro-
we'd and finely set in timothy and clover, producing
very heavy crops ofeach.
There two beautiful young orchards of the most
select peaches, appes and other fancy fruits now in
fine bearing. M
This tract is proposed to be divided into four lots
as such a division can be made, from careful eS
animation upon the ground, as to make each part
truly desirable for the many advantages which each
will be found to possess.
II is proposed that Lot No. l shall contain about
twenty-five acres to itself and ten acres of good
woodland to 60 with 1t, near by, and upon the main
very spacious new dwelling, built in the most
iashionable style and of the very best MATERIAL and
hghy-fnished; the ground about il beautifully form
ed and handsomely ornamented. A large and high
y-cultivated garden, containing great variety of
fruits. A large and new barn, and very extensive
building Tor hay, grain, and stock, cows, &C., with
stable, carr'age-house, corn.house, milk and ice
mousse, oyerseer's house, and houses for poultry,
kitchen, &c--all new. Nearly the whole lot in 6ne
timothy meadow, with fine pump.
Should more land be desired, the purchaser will
have an equal chance to buy Lot No. 2, which will
contain about seventy-one acres, ten or more of
which is good woodland, with a fine orchard of
select fruit This entire lot, with the exception of
the wooded part, il highly improved and in mea-
dow.
Lot No. 3 is proposed to contain about fifty acres
This lot mostly meadow ground of the best quality,
with fine stream of water (the Piney branch rum
ming through il the longest way, in a newly cut
ditch. This lot has good supply of wood, but
much the larger part in as fine meadow as is to be
found anywhere; nearly all of it fresh bottom
land, very rich and clean. There is small part Of
the bottom not yet in grass but requires but little
more preparation to bring it also into meadow.
Lot No. 4 is proposed to contain about ffty-fvc
acres, and is somewhat similar in its character to
No. 3, except that it has more woodland and less
at present in meadow.
All these last three lots have fine high building
sites-particuary No. 2, which has one or more
truly beautiful and commanding, with spring Of
water finely shaded and in convenient distance to a
site on which the owner would doubtless select to
build.
The whole is under good fencing, most Of it new
and nearly new post-and-rail chestnut fence.
