T HE subscribers offer for sale the farm, late the property of. and 
now occupied by Mr. Charles Van Eps, in the town of New- 
Scotland, Albany county. The farm is located about three-fourths 
of a mile southerly from the New-Scotland Church, and about seven 
miles from the city of Albany, by a good road. It contains one hun¬ 
dred acres of land, of the very best quality for grass or dairy purpo¬ 
ses. It is a good grain farm, but is peculiarly adapted to grass. It 
lies well and handsomely, as to exposure, roads, water, fee. It is all 
ina slate of cultivation except a few acres of wood necessary, for 
the farm; there is not three acres of waste land on it. The house is 
commodious and comfortable. The other buildings and fences are 
not as good as the farm would warrant, but are sufficient in number 
and size, and in tolerable repair. The premises will be sold in fee— 
free from quit or rent. Title good and terms easy. For further par¬ 
ticulars, address either of the subscribers.
