This island is situated within the limits of Tuftonbornugh, N. [ 

 H. about 35 miles t'rom Concord, and one quarter of a mile 1 

 from the mainland. It contains between five and six hundred I 

 acres, and is admirably calcuUUed for a slieep and dairy farm, {

 cultivatcd. It is in two parts, connected by a neck two rods 

 wide. One |)arl {of which about one half is cleared, and the 

 other in forest) contains the pasture, nearly 300 acres in extent, 

 of very high and sweet feed—the odier part, about 200 acres, 

 (of v.'liich two thirds are cleared.) contains all the bullding-s, 

 which are extensive and very convenient, having all been erect- 

 ed by the present proprietor within ten years. There is a eom- 

 loriable farm house, of 43 by 24 feet ; a barn 80 by 40, with a 

 shell up lo the eaves on ihree sides, of I J feet wide for sheep -, 

 another barn of 50 by 30 feel for cattle and horses j a dairv 

 and chee=c house, with ice house connected; corn-barn, and 

 wind-mill, nearly new. m^

 ilie best merino and Saxony blood; an imported Bull {full 

 blood North Devon); about 30 Cows and Heifers, chiefly of the 

 Alderney and Duriiam breeds j a yoke of Oxen, and two yoke 

 of Steers. Tlie horned stock arc all very superior animals, 

 and the butter and cheese from this dairy lias commanded the 

 highest prices in Bo>ton for the last three years. 



Also, two MARES, four and five years old, slrcd^y Rare- 

 foot, of much promise; one other Mare ; — also the S wine — and 

 all the Farming 'J'ools.
