exceeded any tiling of the kind we had ever seen before. 

 Eighty-five of them, taken promiscuously as they were 

 picked from the tree, measured a bushel and a half. — 

 One of them, which was exceedingly fair and beautiful, 

 measured thirteen inches in circumference, each way, 

 and weighed twenty-one ounces. — Worcester Spy. 



Great Apple. The largest specimen of this kind of 

 fruit we ever beheld was exhibited in our office last 

 week. Its exact weight was twenty-one ounces, and its 

 circumference fourteen and a quarter inches. It was of 

 the species called Royal, and raised from a tree planted 

 by a gentleman in this town twenty-two years ago. —

VALUABLE FARM AT AUCTION OR PRIVATE 

 SALE. 



THE Subscriber offers for sale a Farm situated in the 

 town of Marlboro', Mass. about half way between Howes' 

 Tavern and the Lower Meeting-House. It consists of 140 

 acres of excellent land, with a large two-story Dwelling House, 

 two Barns, Chaise and other Out-houses, with two fine Wells 

 of Water. About 70 acres of the land is covered with a fine 

 growth of the best quality of Wood ; the remainder, consisting 

 of Mowing Lands, Tillage and Orcharding, is in a high state of 

 cultivation. It now supports 20 head of horned cattle, horses, 

 swine, &c. 



For the last 25 years, this estate has been improved by Mr. 

 William Wilson, deceased, and for 50 years previous thereto, 

 it was known as " Munroe's Tavern." The excellent quality 

 of its soil, the large and valuable quantity of wood, and its other 

 numerous advantages, make it a most desirable situation for a 

 farmer; while its situation (on the old road to Worcester, on 

 which the travel is great, the distance from any other tavern 

 and its former notoriety as one,) makes it a no less desirable 

 situation for a Tavern again. 



The above estate, free from all incumbrances whatever, will 

 be sold on Friday the first day of November, unless previously 

 disposed of by private sale. As also, at the same time, all the 

 cattle, a large quantity of hay and grain, farming utensils, ^'C. 

 as are not previously disposed of. 



Terms of purchase made known on the day of sale. Like- 

 wise, several other lots of land belonging to the tame estate, 

 will be sold at the same time.
