" ALUABLE FARM, AND FARMING UTEN
SiLS AT AUCTlON-The subscribers will
offer at public sale on Tuesday, the 10th of Sep
tsmber, 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
It's improvements to persons residing in this county
as IL 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 half hours ride from Washing
ton. The soil is of very superior quality, aud
nearly the whole of the cleared part highly-impro-
we'd and finely set in timothy and clover, producing
very heavy crops of each.
There are two beautiful young orchards ofthe most
select peaches, apples, and other fancy fruits, now in
fine bearing.
This tract 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.
1t is proposed that Lot No. shall contain about
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 fnished the ground about it beautifully form
ed and handsomely ornamented. A large and high
ly-culivated garden, containing great variety OF
fruits. large and new barn, and very extensive
building for hay, grain and stock, cows, &C., with
stable, carriagc-house, courthouse, milk and ice
house, overseer's house, and houses for poultry,
kitchen, &c.--al 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. 2, which will
contain about seventy-one acres, ten or more Of
which is good woodland, with fine orchard OF
select fruit. This entire lot, with the exception Of
the wooded part, is highly improved and in mea
dow.
Lot No. 3 is proposed to contain about fifty acres
This lot is mostly meadow ground of the best quality
with fine stream of water (thc Piney branch) rum
ming through II the longest why, in newly cu
ditch. This lot has n good supply of wood, bu,
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 il also into meadow.
Lot No. Ais proposed to contain about ffty-fve
acres, and is somewhat similar in its character to
No. 3, except that 1t has more woodland, and less
at present in meadow.
All these last three lots have fine high building
sites--particularly No. 2, which has one or more
truly beautiful and commanding with a spring OF
water finely shaded and in convenient distance to a
site on which the owner would doubtless select "a
build.
The whole is under good fencing, most oft new
and nearly new post-and-rail chestnut fence.
