very heavy crops each.
There are two beautiful young orchards of the most
select peaches apples, and other fancy fruits, in
fine bearing.
This is proposed to be divided into four lots,
as such division can be made, from careful ex-
animation upon the ground, as TO make each part
truly desirable for the many advantages which each
will be found to possess.

twenty-five acres to itself, and ten acres of good
woodland TO go with it, near by, and upon the main
roau Inc improvements upon this lot consist OF
a very spacious new dwelling, built in the most
iashionaole style and Of the very best MATERIAL and

cd and handsomely ornamen,ed. A large and high
ly'culuvated garden, containing great variety of
fruits. large and new barn, and yerv extensive
building for hay, grain, and stock, cows, &C., with
stable, carriage-house, corn house, milk and ice
house, overseer's house, and houses for pouItry
kitchen, &c.-all new. Nearly the whole lot in fine
timothy meadow, with fine pump
Should more land be desired, the purchaser will
have an equal chance to buy Lot No. g. which will
contain about seventy-one acres, ten more Of

select fruit. This entire lot, with the exception Of
the wooded part, is highly improved and in mea-
dow.
Lot No. is proposed to contain about fifty acres.

with fine stream of water (the Piney branch) rum
ming through 1t the longest way, in 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 il 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. is proposed to contain about ifty-fve
acres, and is somewhat similar in its character to
No. 8, except that il has more woodland, and less
at present in meadow
All these last three lots have fine high building

truly beautiful and commanding, with a spring of
water finely shaded and in convenient distance to a
