OF 



FOR S^LE. 



I have for sale, to be delivered at weaning 

 time, a good many pigs of improved breed. I 

 have produced it myself from crosses of the 

 Surry (or Suffolk) geniiine Berkshire, (Dr. John 

 R. Woods' stock) Irish Grazier, Chester County, 

 no Bone and Duchess. T think them siiperior 

 hogs of medium size, and for fourteen years they 

 have not had a bad cross among them. I prefer 

 that purchasers should view my brood sows and 

 my boar on my farm, three miles below Rich- 

 mond I will not sell them in pairs, because the 

 in-and-in-breeding would depreciate the stock at 

 once and cause dissatisfaction, but I will sell in 

 one lot several of the same sex. 



Price $5 per head for one, and an agreed 

 price for a larger number. They will be delivered 

 on the Basin or any of the Railroad Depots free 

 of charge. FRANK: G. RUFFIN

PORTABLE GAS APPAEATUS. 



HAVING received the exclusive agency for 

 the State of Virginia from the Maryland Portable Gas 

 Company, for the sale of their machines, we are now 

 prepared to contract for their erection. 



The machine is remarkable ror its extreme simplici- 

 ty, its safety and economy ; one half a cent per burner 

 for an hour's consumption, is a large estimate for this 

 Gas, while in illuminating qualities it is not surpassed 

 by the Coal Gas of any city in the Union. It is well 

 adapted for Private Houses. Factories, Schools, Col 

 leges, Churches and watering places, and provides, 

 what in cities is considered un indispensable luxury, 

 a good gas light, at much less expense than is paid 

 for Oil or Candles.
