miles; about 45 or 50 acres of Land, lying di
reflly on the river, will be fold, with the im
provements, which are, a two-story framed
dwclling-hbufe, neatly finished, a kitchen, office,
brick smoke-house and dairy, two-story framed
bam, a well of excellent water, and aa ice
houte, a yard and garden, neatly railed and
highly improved, with a number of other ne
ceflarv improvements ; the whole of the land
enclofcd with posts and rails, ten or fifteen acres
laid down, with different kinds of grass. Its
contiguity to those three towns mud render it »*>
obj-& worthy the attention of any person who
wifbes to invest money in a property that mult
enhancc in value, in proportion 10 the rapid in
crease of the Federal City, Alexandria and
George-Town. This property lies nearly in a
central situation to each place. The Potowmsck
at this spot has a fine deep Ibore and harbour,
capable of receiving veflels of any burden. It
may not be improper to observe, that men of
judgment think a profitable and convenient
Ferry might be creeled here to the Citv of
Washington and the Maryland Chores leading to
Baltimore aod Philadelphia.— Also to fell, 215
acres of Wood-Land, about three miles distant,
which will futt well to supply the above in
wood and timber. The title may be seen to the
above property, which is indisputable, and terms
known by application to the fubferiber, living
on the premises.
RAN away on the 25th instant, a likely Ne
gro Man called Laac, about twenty-three
years oid, five feet fix or eight inches high, a
well made fellow, fond of talking, has a large
mouth, and shows his teeth very much when
talking ; had on when he went away, a brown
linen shirt, a (hort white kersey over jacket with
a very high collar and plain breast, with buttons
which appear to have been very gay ; a pair of
white kersey bretches, a pair of while knit yarn
(lockings, a pair of (hoes'with firings in them,
and a coarfc hat ; all the above clothes are al
most new. Said Negro was fprmeily the pro
perty of Mr. William Thomas, late of Kent
County, near George« Town Cross Roads, dt j
ceafcd, and has for Several yean been emploved;
in that neighbourhood, and principally by a Mr,
Maxwell, and lately by MeilYs. John and James
Carmack, as a waggoner, which business he is
well acquainted with, and is what he prefers;
and has been engaged drivings waggon from
said Cross-Roads to Duck-Creck, &c. until
August last. I expect he will make his way [or
the neighbourhoods ot Georgt-Town, Duck-
Creek, Dover or Wilmington. The above re
waid will be paid if delivered to me in this
place, or Thirty Dollars if fecQtcd in any goal,
so that I get him again. He is an aitiul Icliow,
and when taken, will make his escape, unlets
particularly fecurcd.
