 South-west of the Courthouse, on the Appomattox riv-

 with a great- quantity of fine timber. Improvements,

 terials, under my own direction — all other buildings of 

 suitable dimensions, and arranged according to my 

 own taste.

 H. L. Hopkins resides on the premises, and is autho-

PORTABLE GAS APPARATUS. 



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 'or 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 an indispensable luxury, 

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

 for Oil or Candles.
