A noblo avenue, leading from a well appointed entrance, and studded with choice and valuable trees of advanced growth, winds through tho principal grounds to tho lioufe, whence a magnificent view of tho sea and surrounding country is obtained. The houso itself all but new, of great strength adn solidity of construction, has a foundation and basement of scoria, and is roofed with i-lato, pointed with mortar. Its dimensions aro 42 feot by 36, with 12 feet ceiling on both doors. There aro two principal fronts surrounded by an esplanado and parapet, approached by oa-v steps on either sido.

A magnificent WELL occupies tho centre of the yard, affording an inexhaustible supply of pure spring wafer at all seasons. To this last item the Auctioneer feels bound to draw especial attention. In any locality an abundant supply of pure water is felt to be an inestimable, if not an indispensable treasure, bearing so directly, as it does, upon tho health and comfort of tho household ; but in a district where such a boon it a novelty indeed, tho advantago of this grand qualiGcation of a healthy home, it may be stated with confidence, can hardly bo overrated.
