200 to 800 acres of salt water pas
turagc appurtenant thereto. This
farm can be very conveniently di-
vidcd into two, with sufficient re-
sources for manure, firewood and
Iog timhers for each and will be

the purchaser. The land is Of good
quality and much of it is already
improved for trucks, to which, as
we'll as the cereals. it is we'll
adapted, has fair buildings, which,
at a small expense can be put in
good repair and has two tenement
houses. Fish, oysters and wild
fowls abound i'm the adjacent wa.

made specially profitable. There
is a good landing for shipping, less
than 100 yards from the dwelling
house. Title good. For further
