Philadelphia, September 13,1796. ttftf r o BE SOLD, A LEASE for seven years, from the 2sth March next, in that capital and beautiful F ARM s calltd PRO SPECT-HILL, Situated within one quarter of a mile from the Brandy wine Mills, and half a mile from the borough of Wilmington. THE dwelling house is built of stone, two stories high, gemeelv finifhed, and contains four handsome room? on a floor, betides an entry, with capital garrets, and convenient cellari. It is generally thought to command (he mod a greeablc profpe& of the Delaware, from the source of that liver to the Capes. This profpe& ia greatly embcllifhed by a full view of a vast body ot meadow, through which the Chrittiana and Brandywine creeks are seen winding in beau tiful meanders. Near the house are a Kitchen-, a spacious {tone flable and hay loft, a barn, a carriage House, mifc houfe,&e. and a well of as pure water as any on the conti nent. The garden contains an acre and quarter of land, a boanding with truit, and particularly with peach trees, of he very best kind, brought from Maryland, and in full bear ing. There is, moreover, on the place, a young, apple Orchard begining to bear, and leveral old trees that produce abundantly, besides cherry and other ornamental trees, in great numbers. The farm consists of near sixty acres of land, of good quality, and clear of incumbrances, except taxes, twenty of which are now in excellent clover and timothy, and ten more will be ready for lowing next spring. A re sidence of nearly 8 year! has convinced the fublcriber that the situation is remarkably healthy. The great post road from Philadelphia to the Southward runs within seventy yards of the house. In a word, the beauties and conveni ence of this situation cannot be enumerated in an advertife mept, and when examined, will probably command the at tention of any person who isdefirous of li"ing at one of the mod elegant country feats on the continent. The pure, bafcr may enter on the premil s next spring, or perhaps, this fall, if application be immediately made to Dbttor NICHOL AS WAY, in Philadelphia, to Do&or WHARTON, on the premises, or, in his ablenee, to Mr. GEORGE TRUIIT, in Wilmington.
