twenty-five acres to itself, and ten acres of good
woodland to go with it, near by, and upon the main
road. The improvements upon this lot consist of
a very spacious new dwelling, built in the most
fashionable style and of the very best material, and
highly the ground about beautifully form

more preparation to bring il also into meadow
