along the whole front. There is a stone kitchen
in the rear of convenient size, with a pump of
good water at the door. The Barn is of stone,
82 feet by 32, with an overshoot adjoining, and
also two hay or straw stables. There is a milk
house, smithshop, carriage house and other out
buildings; all substantially built, and in every
way well adapted to the purposes of the farm.-
A good apple orchard and a number of fruit
trees of various kinds of fruit, furnish an ample
supply of the best fruits in season.
This property is altogether one of the most desirable
in the county. Possession will be given
on the first day of April next, to the purchaser.
The title is indisputable. Terms made known
on day of sale.
