Chester County Farm for Sale. 



The subscriber offi;rs for sale the valuable farm on 

 which he has resided for a number of years past, situ- 

 ated on the Brandywine, two and a half miles from 

 the borough of Westchester, and about twenty-five 

 miles from Philadelphia. It comprises 136 acres of 

 naturally fertile and highly iiiy)roved land, and equal 

 to any of that which has made this vicinity so cele- 

 brated as a grazing district. It has been well limed, 

 fenced and drained, and every field contains a spring 

 or run of water for the stock. The buildings are large, 

 with every convenience attached. The mansion is of 

 modern finish, five rooms on the first floor, with entry 

 running through the middle. The spring water is in- 

 troduced by iron pipes into the kitchen and bath room 

 in the second story, and also flows into the barn-yard. 

 The grounds around are handsomely laid out with 

 fruit and shade trees and shrubbery. There is an or- 

 chard in prime bearing, and a young one of Apple, 

 Pear and Peach trees, is just coming into productive- 

 ness. The barn is double floored, with straw house, 

 granaries, wagon house, and shedding attached. 



This property presents the advantages seldom met 

 vvith, of combining a beautiful country seat with that 

 of a highly fertile and productive farm. Application 

 to be made to the subscriber, residing thereon, or to 

 Anthony P. Morris, No. 23 Filbert street, Philadelphia.
