 Gentlemen — In my letter of last week I gave 

 you a percentage I'or the Phosphate of Lime in 

 the SOMBRERO GUANO you sent me for analy- 

 sis, ^vhich I suspected at tlie time to l)e too high, 

 as I informetl yan. An error was })robably made 

 in the weighin^c. 



The analysis has since been repeated by both 

 I)r, Tuttle and myself, and I submit the Ibllow- 

 ing" as a reliable result: 



Phosplinte of lime, 83.43 

 Carbonate of lime, 3.45 

 Insoluble matter, 1.18 

 Moisture and oiii;anic matter, 11.47 



99.53 



The organic matter in the Guano was too 

 inconsiderable to be deemed worthy of separate 

 estimation. 



Very respeetftdly your ob"t serv't, 



S. MAUPIN.

The above was an average sample of Som- 

 brero Giiano from the bark Christiana's cargo, 

 (315 tons). We refer to a former advertise- 

 ment as to wliat other eminent chemists think 

 of this Guano; and among planters of our own 

 State, to whom we would refer, we name the 

 Rev. J. S. Armistead, of Cumberland, who has 

 purchased for himself and Iriends some twenty 

 tons of it.

fMm"for^ale: 



I am anxious to sell imnie(Uii tel v, 

 my farm, HAZEL MILL, situated A^S^'^-> 

 in Spottsy Ivania. It is H miles dis- 

 tant from Fredericksburg, S. W. and MJjlj|p| g'j,;j^ 

 some 6 miles west of county seat. ^Sg ^'^^^ -: 



It contains 800 acres, divided into five fields, 550 be- 

 ing arable, the balance well timbered. It has 150 

 acres of good bottom land, which is well adapted to 

 grain and grass. The high land has no superior in 

 (he county, in its adaptation to grain, tobacco and 

 grass and its high susceptibility of improvement. 



The houses, ihr all kinds of farming purposes, are 

 numerous and in good order, with a large Dwelling. 

 House, in neat repair, and every out house. I invite an 

 examination of the Farm, and am willing to sell it, 

 just as the lands and growing crops show for them- 

 selves, being satisfied that no such farm, containing 

 advantages of soil, locatioj) and price, can be purchas- 

 ed in Eastern V irginia. * WM. J. FIFE.
