It is placed on a fine lie'lchy eminence, commanding views in every over th t e towns of 1 redericklburgh and Falmouth, and an extensive cultivated country. The grounds aeijuming the house are neatly laid out in pleaf u.'e esd kitchen gardens intcrlperfea with a variety of fcarte trees, a choijc collection of flowers and flowering (hi u'»s, and enriched by various forts of the following fruits, viz apples, pears, walnuts, chefnuts,cherries,peach" e», plumbs, nad-arines, apricots, grapes, figs, rafberries, goofebeiries.ftravvherries,and currants; the whule admi raßly varied by turfed fl«pe» which have been lormed by great labour and eipencs. Bordering upon tbefe im provements,are fevcrul lots, in a high Hate of Milcivation, and well let with- red clover and ofcl.ard grass, from which three heavy crops of hay are tfchen every year.

The arable lands are fs> advantageouiTy divided as to as. ford an opportunity of making a large quantity oflndian corn annually, without bringing the fleldiinto fcnilar cul ture oftner than once in fnur years ; confequentiy the lands may be improved by keeping up the inclol'ures during the intermediate years, or may be beneficially fallowed for wheat and other grain at tne option of the proprietor. On the prcmifes there is also a merchant mill with one pair ot best French burr 1 tones, and one pair of Cologne ; furnilhed with modern machinery, and now leafed for the unexpired terpi oi four years, at 1501 per annum, and all ■grain for the ul'e of the farm, hopper free, which is near ly tool. more, r'h* null and miiler'shoufe are built of free stone, within a very small distance of navigation, near to which are two or more valuable lilheries, and a well accustomed ferry over the Rappahannock to the town of Frederickfburg. ld« land tontains mexhauftible qua'rrie s . of free l tone near to the river, is plentifully supplied with remarkable fine water and pofl'effes a due proportion of meadow, which by having the command of water may be confideraoly increal'ed.

In fa<ft, exelufive of an improveable and well conditioned farm, the value and emolument inseparably conneaed witn a mill, ferries, fifberies and quarries eligibly fltuated ; the profits arinng* Irom an ice-house inferior to none in the state, and a gar den of four acres so abundantly ftockcd with vegetables of all forts as to be fully equal to the demand in market, thire might be detailed many other advantages, apper taining to the fertility of theft lands, which the fubferiber conceives it unnsceffary to mention, being fully convinced that when examined, it will be found to be a complete, pleasant and healthy relidence, possessing beauties and' convenience* fuffieient to attract the attention of any per son desirous of becoming a purchaler. The' motive which induces the fubferiber to offer for sale an estate so Angularly beautiful and adva/itageoas, is a desire to. become an inhabitant of Alexandria, where he can with more ease attend to his interests in the neigh bourhood of that city. The purchaser may be accommodated with a few slaves ir. families, either for plantation or domestic use. A part of the purchafc money will be required and the balance made easy, the debt being properly secured. WILLIAM FITZHUGH. ChstVam, (Virg.) Dec. 19, 1796. i>th—lawjm. Particular TenerifFe Wine.
