January 21 13-if. LAXH, JtTMUmTR MLS. llR subscriber oilers for sale all liii real estate in Washington county in I he State of Maryland, consisting of several FARMS, all parcel of Manor, and together about much of which is of superior quality. The principal Farm is FOUNTAIN ROCK, formerly the residence of the lute Gen Samuel Ilinggold (t contains, with the annexation of an adjacent small frrm, (which completes the integrity of its figure and ought to be conjoined,) 950 acres of land-Of this quantity 160 acres are in addition of a wood lot of 53 acres, lying in the immediate neighborhood, and reserved, in former sales, for the use of tbis farm, would mike an aggregate quantity of more than 1000 ACRIK OF LAND: More than 200 of which are in wood, ding with young locust, black walnut and hickory. The tillable land is exceedingly fertile and productive, in i high state tivation, of seemingly exhaustless strength.

Apart from its other recommendations. Fountain Rock, as a mere farm, is not in its attractions, by any estate in Maryland. It has the rare advantage of a bold spring of water that has never failed, and which flows, in sufficient quantity, to operate a grist mill on an adjoining farm. The benefits resulting from this abundance of water, in its varied uses, are numerous and important The Mansion House is a large, imposing 1 and well constructed edifice, consisting of a main building 65 by 52 feet, connected with winch, by colonnades, are two wings -ach 24 by 36 feet. The distribution of the interior of the ouilding, into the various apartments, is tasteful and convenient.

The other improvements consist of an overseer's house, a quarter for farm servants, a large barn, carriage house, stabling, blacksmith shop, c. There are some good fruit trees, apple, cherry and peach and good garden. There is some extent of hedging, in good condition, in the vicinity i dwelling, affording a secure and beautiful enclosure. To a gentleman of fortune, who wishes to reside in the country, and to whom superior improvements are art object, Fountain Rock would prove a highly desirable possession. Its location is in a neighborhood of excellent and cultivated society, 5 miles from Hagerstown, 3 from Williamsport and 7 from Boonsborough.

The contemplated improvements of the Rail Road and Canal Companies must necessarily be made in its immediate vicinity. If sold before the 1st of March, possession could be had on the 1st of April, if desired. The next Farm in magnitude was formerly the residence of Mr. George Tilghman, from whom I purchased it. With the addition of an adjacent piece, it contains about 325 ACRES OF IiAZTO.

A large part of it is very productive, and the whole, with proper cultivation, could be rendered fertile. The dwelling is new --a commodious, well finished, rough-cast stone building It occupies an elevated site, and commands a very extensive view. The remaining lands are all of good original soil, and some of them are now in fins slate of cultivation--the residue could be reclaimed, in a short time, by careful husbandry. One tract of itself contains more than 7OO ACHES, Ne a rly one half of which is in heavy timber of much value. To a man of enterprise and industry, it would be a valuable acquisition; the avails of the timber would nearly or quite pay for the land at the price that is placed on it.

The subscriber is anxious to dispose of this estate, as other engagements forbid a proper attention to its cultivation. The terms of sale will be regulated by the quantity disposed the event of large sale, an extended credit would be given, if desired, fora larga part of the purchase money. Persons ish- ing to purchase, will apply to Marmaduke Boyd, Esq. of Hagers-town, who will show the property and make known the terms; or communicate with the subscriber, residing in Frederick, Maryland.
