The farm is divided by the main street leading f rom Trenton to Lamberton, and Philadelphia, into two parts nearly equal in quantity; the eaftwardly pa-t being arable lanfl' uJaid off in convenient si: Ids, and in good farming oidcr. The other part, bounded by the said street on the east, and by the river . a the weft, forms afquare; which, from the combined effect of li g ation and improvement, is generally allowed to be one of the molt beautiful and desirable teals in the state. The mansion-house is a handsome, well-finifhed brick building 5 o by 40, containing J-> ur rooms on each floor, with excellent cellars, and a twoftory brick kuchen ; and commanding a very extcnfive and pleasing view of the river, both above and below, as well as including the falls, and also of Trenton and the neighbouring feats and improvements on both fides of the river. Among the out-bmldings are a new stone ccach-houfe and stables, futftcient to contain fix carriages and ten horse.*, accommodated with a cutting and feeding room, and a ca* pacious loft for hay ; adjoining theft is a very complete granary, rat proof ', and a stone cow-house, upwards of igo feet in length, containing thirty-one paved flails, over which u a roofoy loft for hay, Zee.

It contains also two beating or. chards of good fruit. The river abounds, in the proper fedfans, with great pl< nty of all kinds of fifh usually found in frefh water in this climate, and with a variety of wild-fowl; both of which may afford a pleasing amusement to the fponfman, as wejl as a convenient addition 10 the elegance and variety of his table. The whoL of the land, except the wood-land, is inclosed and divided by good fences, great part of which is formed of red cedar posts, ?nd railsof chcfnut and white cedar.
