FARM FOR SALE. 



CAWSON'S, one mile from City Point, on James 

 River, in the county of Prince George, will be 

 offered at public sale, on the premises, on Thursday, 

 the 5th day of September next, and will be sold with- 

 out reserve, on liberal terms, if there is respectable 

 competition for the purchase. It contains five hun- 

 dred acres; one hundred in cultivation, and the 

 balance heavily timbered — besides a large quantity 

 of building, ship and stave timber. It will average 

 fifty cords wood to the acre, which can be sold on the 

 wharf, at City Point, for one dollar and seventy-five 

 cents, and can be cut and transported there, by con- 

 tract, for seventy-five cents the cord. The land lies 

 level, and no lime or marl has yet been applied, but 

 it has for the last three years produced forty bushels 

 corn to the acre; and the present year, which is the 

 first time it has ever been in wheat, and under many 

 disadvantages and losses, it has produced more than 

 twenty-two bushels to the acre, and more than six- 

 teen bushels to one of seed. For these facts I refer 

 to Messrs Pannil & Lea, and John M. Stockdell, of 

 Petersburg, and to Alexander Hobbs, who lives on 

 on the place.
