ADVERTISEMENTS. 



L.AND AGENCY. 



THE novel idea of establishing a Land Agency in 

 the City of Richmond, has succeeded beyond the 

 expectations of the originator. His office is nearly 

 filled with applications from those who would be sel- 

 lers and purchasers. The tide of emigration which 

 is now setting so strongly towards Virginia from the 

 north, has brought him several applications from that 

 quaiter. Enquiries have been made for the following 

 descriptions of property. One gentleman wishes to 

 purchase a good wheat and corn farm, of about a 

 thousand acres in the upper country, at from 12 to 18 

 thousand dollars. Another is looking for a good 

 James River property, at about 20 thousand dollars. 

 An application has also been made for 1500 or 2000 

 acres of land in a limestone region. Small esta- 

 blishments in the neighborhood of the City of Rich- 

 mond are in great demand. 



Instead of making a separate contract for each 

 particular agency, as he has heretofore done, the 

 subscriber has adopted the following terms as a rea- 

 sonable recompense for his services from those who 

 choose to employ his assistance in effecting a sale of 

 their property. 



If the property is sold within 12 months from the 

 time at which he is employed, and the amount of 

 sale exceeds $10,000, a fee of $100 will be required : 

 if the amount of sale does not exceed ten thousand 

 dollars, a fee of $50 w in be expected. In all cases 

 where no sale is effected within 12 months, a fee of 

 ten dollars will be demanded. 



Information and assistance afforded purchasers with- 

 out charge.

 fulness, any thing of the kind ever before presented

 in the library of the Horticulturist.

LAND FOR SALE. 



I OFFER for sale about 450 acres of land, in the 

 County of Prince William, lying on Cedar Run. 

 It is of good quality, well adapted to clover and plas- 

 ter, and produces good crops of wheat, corn and oats. 

 About 300 acres are cleared and the balance in tim- 

 ber, much of it very superior. There are from 50 to 

 60 acres bottom land, some of which is very fertile, 

 and all capable of being made first rate meadow 

 land; there is a small tract of 219 acres adjoining it, 

 upon which there is a small dwelling house and barn, 

 which would be leased to the purchaser until the mi- 

 nor, to whom it belongs, shall have arrived at the 

 age of 21 ; when it could be purchased on reasona- 

 ble terms — say 3 years hence — or an order of court 

 might perhaps be had by me now, should the pur- 

 chaser wish to add it immediately by purchase. 



These two parcels of land would make one of the 

 best farms in this section of the country. Terms — 

 one-third cash, the balance in one and two years, 

 well secured ; or, I would take slaves in exchange 

 for the whole at a fair valuation. Direct to Brents- 

 ville, Prince William County, Va.

LARD LAMPS. 



THE subscriber is now prepared to furnish his 

 friends and customers with the best article of 

 lard lamp he ever saw. The superiority of this 

 light, in softness, clearness, neatness and economy, 

 needs only to be tested to be appreciated. They will 

 afford a good light with any thing from pure lard to 

 common kitchen grease. They are sold, at various 

 prices, from 50 cents to $2, according to quality. 

 One dollar will procure a very neat article, that may 

 be relied on. C. T. BOTTS.
