A liARMER WAJiTED. 



The subscriber is desirous of making a permanent ar- 

 Liigem^nl with a young man who has a small family and is 

 rorougldy acquainted With practical farming, to take charge 

 " a first rate farm in the Connecticut Valley, only a few 

 iles from Hartford. Said farm is also within one and a 

 alf miles of one of the most thriving manulacturing vil- 

 iges in the Slate, and a leady and good market may there 

 3 found for the produce of the farm. 



To a young man of industrious habits and good principles 

 od who is competent to take the direction ol a large farm, 

 ich an opportunity rarely offers itself; as the owner will 

 )t sell It, and an arrahgenienl fur a term of years might he 

 died upon. 



Any young msn who is possessed of the above qualifica- 

 ons may meet with encouragement by calling upon the sub- 

 ■riher at No. 12 Long Wharf, or by addressing a line through 

 le Post Office. ' tiAAC C. ANDREWS.
