Valuable Property for bale.
THE subscriber being desirous of procur

following property for s >le, viz.
A TRACl'ofLAND, s'.'.u.tein the county
of Fait fax and state ol'Virgina, wit 1

'1 his land is well adapted to farn intr, is level,

from the city of Washiugl'an 15 or 16 miles
To accon modate a purchaser' or purchasers.
I would dispose of tne property at this phut,
or any part thereof, separate lrom the othti
lands. X lie annual rent of tie snitli part now
improved, is near eight hundred dollars, and
at little additional expence would produce
from one thousand dollars to twelve hundrci.
dollars per annum, exclusive of lots that might
be sold or rented on ground rent; and I would
ili vide the land in two or three parts to s>tii
purchasers On that part occupied by myself,
are a comfortable dwelling house, sufficient
for the accommodate 11 of a large family, villi
barn, stables, and other convenient oul-linust s
orchards, &c As il is presumed a peril n dis-
posed to purchase would first view the premi
ses, a further description is thought unne-
cessary.
A small piece of Land within one ami a hail
miles of the court-house, situate on Accotink
Run, containing 19 acres, most!) rich and vain
able grass lam!, which affords a tolerable mill
seat, and was purchased with a view ot erect
ing one thereon, the timber for which (ol ex-
cellent quality) hath been cut and squared.
A Lot in the lown of Alexandria, with a two
story brick house, kitchen and stable thereon,
situate near the centre thereof; and
About 161j0 acres of Land, situate on the
waters of Licking, in the county of Bourbon,
and state of Kentucky. This land is classed
as second rate, i'srich, lies well, and b) judges
of that country said to be worth from five dol-
lars to eight dollars per acre, and on which
are several small settlements.
For the property in Fairfax and Alexandria,
indisputable titles will be made : the title to
ihe Kentucky land is thought to be good, an
investigation on that subject having lately taken
place, and is patented in my owa name. No-
thing short of a strong desire to provide for a
large and growing family, should induce me to
offer this properly or sale. M y terms w ill be
suchascannot fail to accotrtme'.ate a purchaser,
as but a small portion will he required m hand,
and on securing the balances satisftctoiily, to
meet arrangements which in such cases I wish
to make, lengthy credits will be. givei. I would
receive in part payment good lands in the State
of Tennessee, not more than thirty miles lrom
Nashville, or the waters ot Dock-River, in said
state ; but the title thereto must he well estab-
lishedand secured. Applicationmust beinatie
