W —l will dispose of my tract of Land,
■flng in Pendleton county,aontainiog about 6 000 acres,
on very reasonable tern s It is aituated on the north
fork ol ths south branch of the Potomac, about eight
or tan mile* distant from Franklin, and is possessed of
many advantages. It it very well watered and has a
Bomber of exrellml site* for mills aud other machine
ry, by means of which the salt petre, Iron, and o her
minerals with which it abounds, might be advatageous
Ijr wrought.
Although considerably mountainous, yet there are
eeveral wa l situated farm* on it, and a number more
might be obtained equal In quality lo tbe beet James
Hirer low grounds. The soil generally is very good,
■nd the heavy timber with which it is covered might
be turned lo valuable account, by the facility which
the river affords, of shipping it to Washington City_
Thousand* ot pound* of sugar are annually made from
ttbe sugar maple, which flourishes luiuriau •/ on it._
It I* said to be the best grazing country in the State;
end tbe immense herds of beeves which are driven
from it, sufficiently evince the truth of this assertion.
Tha climate is ae healthy as any in the srorh'; aud from
tha many resources aud inducement* it offer* to the
• •tiler, it wo'tl^ be an agiesable and valuable resi
dence: or it* purchase would be a judicious investment
of capital, as to the increasing population and improve
ment In roads aud navigation in that aection of coun
try, rauit greatly enhance Its value.
It will be told altoge her, or in small parcels, to suit
the eonvenlsoce of purchasers. Tl e ti I* U indispu
table, and a great bargain may be obtained by purchas
ing the whole tract. The payments will be mad* ea
