A BEAUTIFUL FARM.-W. N. W.
Dorsey. Esq. has one of the hand
soonest farms in Kent county. Ii is
about one mile east of Milford, on the
Mispillion creek, and contains 1870
acres of well improved land. The
dwelling is neat and commodious, and
the out buildings are in good order.
The Mispilllon is very winding, but
that part which runs by Mr.. Dorsey g
farm is unusually crooked, and a yes
sci may sail some four or five miles
without being mile in straight line
from where it started. Excellent fish
are caught within twenty yards of the
