FOR SAL K,
BLOOMS BURY,
elegant SEAT at the Falls of Delaware, in the vicinity
A of Trenton, rn New-Jorfey,occupied for m?ny years paftby
the fubfenber; containing upwards of 200 acres of land, befidcs
a tract of wood-land of about 18$ acres, at the distance of two
mile?. 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. Adjoining the court-yard of the mansion-house, is gar,
den of about two acres, extending towards tlto river, in the higher
state of culture, and abounding with a rich colle&ioa of the
cnoiceft fruits of almost every kind, and several large afpnagus
beds, highly manured. At a convenient di fiance from the man
sion-house, and nearly in the centre of the square, is a new, well*
built, itone farm-houfe, accommodated with a large checkroom,
spring-house, garden, &c. a complete stone smoke-house, corn
cribs, waggon-house, a capacious ice-house, and every other ne
cetTjry out-building. The ground is properly divided inio Jma'l
fields, all well watered, highly improved, and chitilv und r the
nioft approved grass. This square has produced annually, for se
veral years part, upwards of sixty tons of the best hay, brfides
supporting through the fummcr fealon twenty to thirty homed
cattle, and eight or ten horfep. 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. The purchaftr may have
the improved fq iare feparaiely, or the whole together, a may

and the interest pun&ually paid, will not be demandtd fox rnlay
