F Q R SALE,
BLOOMSBURY,
THAT elegant SEAT at the Falls of Delaware, in the vicinity
of Trenton, in New-Jcrfey, occupied for many years paftby
the subscriber; containing upwards of 200 acres of land, belides
a tra& of wood-Jand of about 185 acres, at the distance of two
miles. The farm is divided by the main street leading from
Trenton to Lamberton, and Philadelphia, into two parts, nearly
equal in quantity ; the eaftwardly pait being arable land, is laid
off in convenient fields, and in good farming order. The other
part, bounded by the said street 011 the east, and by the nver on
the weft, forms a square; which, from the combmcd etfed of fim
ation and improvement, is generally allowed to be one of the molt
beautiful and desirable feats in the state. The mansion-house is a
handsome, well-finifhcd brick building, 50 by 40, corttaining four
rooms on each floor, with excellent cellars, and a two story brick
kitchen ; and commanding a very extenlive and plcafmg vitw.oE
the river, both above and below, as well as including the falls, and
also of Trenton and the neighbouring feats and improvements <>u
both fides of the river. Among the out-buildings are 3 new ftonr
coach-house and stables, fufticient to conrain fix carriages and ten
horses, accommodated with a cutting and feeding room, and a ca
pacious loft for hay ; adjoining there is a very complete granary,
rat proof, and a stone cow-houle, upwards of i©o feet in length,
contaiumg thirty-one paved flails, over which is a roomy loft for
hay, &c. Adjoining the court-yard of the mansion-house, is a gar
den of about two acres, extending towards the river, in the highest
state of culture, and abounding with a rich collection of the
choicest fruits of almost every kind, and several large asparagus
beds, highly manured. At a convenient distance from the man-
Gon-houfe, and nearly in the centre of the square, is a new, well
built, ltone farm-houfe, accommodated with a large cheefe-roow,
spring-house, garden, See. a complete stone smoke-house, corn
cribs, waggon-house, a capacious ice-house, and every other ne
cefTary out-building. The ground is properly divided into fmil
fields, all well watered, highly improved, and chiefly under thi
most approved grass. This square has produced annually, for fe
vera! years past, upwards of lixty tons of the best hay, beftdt
supporting through the summer season twenty to thirty hornci
cattle, and eight or ten horses. It contains alio two bearing or
chards of good fruit. The river abounds, in the proper season?
with great phnty of all kinds of fifh usually found in frefti watt
in this climate, and with a variety of wild-fowl; both of whic!
may afford a p.leafing amusement to the sportsman, as well as
convenient addition to the elegance and variety of his tabic. Tb
whole of the land, except the wood-land, is inclosed and divide
by good fences, great part of which is formed of red cedar post:
and ravls of ch. ftiut and white cedar. The purchakr may hav

best fijit him.. There is an inexhaustible quantity of good build
ing stone on the river shore. The purchase money, if well secured
and the interest pun&ually paid, will not be demanded for mao
years.
