BLOOMSBURY,
THAT elegant SEAT at the Falls of Delaware, in the vicinity
of Trenton, in New-Jersey, occupied for wmiy years part by
the fubferiber; containing upwards of 200 acres of land, besides
a tra& of wood-land 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 part being arable land, is. laid
off in convenient fields, and in good farming order. The other
part, bounded by the (aid street on the east, and by the river on
the weft, forms a square; which, from the combined effect of fili
ation and improvement, is generally allowed to be one of the most
beautiful and desirable feats in the state. The mansion-house is a
bandfome, well-fmifhed brick building, 50 by 40, containing four
rooms on each floor, with excellent cellars, and a twoftory brick
kitchen ; and commanding a very extensive and pleasing view of
the river, both above and below, as well as inclading the falls, and
also of Trenton and the neighbouring feats and improvements on
both (ides of the river. Among the out-buildings are a new fton;
coach-house and stables, fufficient to contain fix carriages and ten
horses, 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 i©o feet in length,
containing thirty-one paved flails, over which is a roomy loft for
hay, &c. Adjoining the court-yard of the mansion-house, is agar
f den of about two acres, extending towards the river, in the highest
state of culture, and abounding with a rich colle&ion of the
choicest fruits of almost every kind, and several large asparagus
beds, highly manured. At a convenient distance from the man
sion-house, and nearly in the centre of the square, is a new, well
built, stone farm-houfe, accommodated with a large cheese-room,
spring-house, garden, See. a complete stone smoke-house, corn
cribs, waggon-house, a capacious ice-house, and every other ne
ceirary out-building. The ground is properly divided into Jmall
fields, all well watered, highly imptoved, and chiefly under the
most approved grass. This square has produced annually, tor se
veral years past, upwards of sixty tons of the best hay, besides
supporting through the summer season twenty to thirty horned
cattle, and eight or ten horses. It contains also two bearing or
chards of good fruit. The river abounds, in the proper seasons,
with great plenty of all kinds of fifti 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 sportsman, as well as a
convenient addition to the elegance and variety of his table. The
whole of the land, except the wood-land, is inclofcd and divided
by good fences, great part of which is formed of red cedar polls,
and rails of chefnut and white cedar. The purehafer may have
the improved square separately, or the whole together, as may
bed suit him. There is an incxhatiftible iquantity 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 many
years.
Any pei Ton desirous of viewing the piemifes, may be gratified
on applieation to Samuel W. Stockton, Esq. of Trenton,
or Mr. Inallman, who at present occupies the farm-houfeand
part of the land—and may know the price on application tf> the
