FINE OPPoRTuNITY.-We have a
stocked farm for sale, not far from a
good Iocrl market, in Jefferson coun.
ty. To those who may be seeking
investments of this kind, we deem
the opportunity rare one. The farm
is situated on the salt water front, III
a safe and commodious bay; it COM
prises 1873 acres Of land, about 40
acres Of which is fine bottom and
marsh. About 80 acres are clear
and under fence. Good house, barn,
outbuildings, fences, Sc, &C., that
ost upwards of a thousand dollars,
There are about 175 fruit trees Of
various kinks, carefully and well
selected, and including apple, plum,
pear, cherry, prune and other trees
some years old and all in excel
ten. condition. A fine lot of stock
and tools are also for sale with the
the land and Improvement, includ-
ing 10 cows, l yoke OF oxen, horse,
s head of young stock (half Jersey
also bees, fowls, boat, etc. The
place has cash income of $50 per
year from logging camp, besides
being near a good market for butter,
eggs, beef, vegetables, hay or other
produce. The whole property is Of.
fered very cheap-could be bought
for less than $2,000-and possession
will be given Immediately if desired.
The owner, on account of failing
health, desires to engage in some
lighter occupation. For particulars,
enquire at the ARGUS office.
Mr.. E. L. Rose, one of the new
settlers in the Port Discovery and
sQuilcipe valley, was in town a few
days ago. Mr.. Rose is at work in
dead earnest, and is just the kind of
a man wanted to help develop our
county. We have room for plenty
more like him. He is satisfied and
pleased with the country, though he
does not expect to make good
home here without making an effort
in earnest. There have been few
croakers who deprecate the work sol
the immigration aid society, saying
that about all the good land has been
taken up; we are pleased, however,
to see that they are changing their
tune.
