ON Thursday, October 25th, at II o'clock, A. M 

 will be sold by public auction, that very valuable estate 

 known as tbe Nichols' Farm, situated on the Salem 

 Turnpike, about one mile from Court street, in Salem. 



Said farm consists of from 220 to 240 acres, of which 

 about 60 acres are mowing and tillage land, with a val- 

 uable peat meadow, an Orchard containing about 200 

 apple and pear trees ol the best kind. The buildings, 

 which are in perfect order, consist of a dwelling-house, 

 3 barns, wood-house, with corn-barn, and a piggery. — 

 The produce has been about 80 tons of hay, 2000 bush- 

 els of potatoes, and various other articles of provender 

 for stock. It yields about 15,000 gallons of milk a year, 

 for which, (in consequence of its being much nearer 

 than any other milk farm to the town,) there is a regular 

 and constant demand. — The rocks, of which there is an 

 inexhaustible supply, are generally in demand, and af- 

 ford a very pi-ofitable employment for the teams when 

 not otherwise engaged. 



In fine, the above named place may with propriety be 

 said to be one of the most valuable farms in New Eng- 

 land, and well worthy the attention of farmers or others 

 who wish to make a profitable investment; and the terms 

 of payment will be made convenient to Ibe pui-cha?er.
