IMPORTANT SALE 



Of Real Estate arid 225 Negroes at 

 Public Auction. 



I offer for sale two very valuable estates in Lancas- 

 ter county, Va., on the Rappahannock and Corroitoman 

 rivers, known as Indian Town and Hill's Quarter, the 

 first containing 1620 acres, the latter 1473, chiefly low 

 grounds, and very productive in the staple c rops of that 

 section. On these estates are beds of m irl and oyster 

 shelte, with which they may be made as productive as 

 &ny in the State. 



Indian Town is now highly improved, and the other 

 rapidly improving, and lying as they do immediately on 

 navigation tor vessels of the largest class, with a large 

 portion of forest, the timber and wood alone would read- 

 ily command a large portion of the purchase money. 

 The oysters and fish, for which Carter's creek is pro- 

 verbial, yields also a good revenue. I desire to sell the 

 estates with or without a force to work them, with the 

 growing crops and every thing to stock them, and would 

 sell privately. If not sold however, will sell them to 

 the highest bidder, commencing at Indian Town, on 

 THURSDAY, the 14th day of August next, continuing 

 frcm day to day till completed. 



Should the farms be sold privately, with negroes, &c. 

 to stock them, still I will sell to the highest bidder, 

 commencing as above, at least 100 valuable slaves, to- 

 gether with a large amount of personal property, of 

 every description, on said estates. 



1 will also rent for the ensuing year, or for a term of 

 years, the estate known as Corrottoman, containing 

 1785 acres. Also, would hire the force to work it, and 

 sell the growing crop, Will also sell the surplus 

 slaves. Also, all the stock of all kinds, farming men 

 eils &c. 



And, on THURSDAY, the 4th day of September 

 next, at Laueville, near VVarmiuster, Va., 1 will rent 



out the Laneville farm, and with it hire a moderate force 

 to work it, and if the growing crop be taken, will sell 

 the stock of ali kinds and other personal property. 



Also, at the same time, will sell some 40 or 50 slaves. 

 There are many valuable blacksmiths, carpenters, Sec, 

 on all these estates. 



Terbis — The land and any negroes sold with it, on 

 long credit, if secured satisfactorily. The negroes for 

 cash. Other property six months credit. 



The managers on each estate will show them. My 

 address: Howardsville, Va. D J. HARTSOOK.

AYER'S PILLS.

 flsa£ m « Mm w! . ! , nii HP"a«ii^ ]daints,'&-c. r &c. indeed very few 

 are the diseases m which a Purgative Medicine is not 

 more or less required, and much sickness and suffering 

 might be prevented, if a harmless but effectual Cathar- 

 tic were more freely used. No person can feel well 

 while a costive habit of body prevails ; besides it soon 

 generates serious and often fatal diseases, which might 

 have been avoided by the timely and judicious use of a 

 good purgative. This is alike, true of Colds, Feverish 

 svmptoms, and Billious derangements. They all tend 

 to become or produce the deep seated and formidable 

 distempers which load the hearses all over the land. 

 Hence a reliable family physic is of the first importance 

 to the public health, and this Piil has been perfected 

 with consummate skill to meet that demand. 



Among the eminent gentlemen who have testified in 

 favor of these Pills, we may mention. 



Doct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Bos- 

 ton, and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high 

 Professional character is endorsed by the— 



Hon. EDWARD EVERITT, Senator of the United 

 States. 



ROBERT C. WIfoTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the 

 House of Representatives. 



ABBOTT LA WHENCE. Min. Plen to England. 

 JOHN B. FiTZPATRICK, Catholic Bishop of 



Boston ; also 



Dr. J. R. CHILTON. Practical Chemist of New York 

 City, endorsed by 



Hon. W. L MARCY, Secretary of State. 



WM. B. ASTOR, the richest man in America. 



S. LELAND & Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan 

 Hotel, and others. 



These Pills, the result of long investigation and 

 study, are offered to the public as the best and most 

 complete which the present state of medical science 

 can afford. They are compounded not of the drugs 

 themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only of Vegeta- 

 table remedies extracted by Chemical process in a state 

 of purity, and combined together in such a manner as 

 to insure the best results. This system of composition 

 for medicines has been found in Cherry Pectoral and 

 Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than had 

 hitherto been obtained by any process. The reason is 

 perfectly obvious ! W 7 hile by the old mode of compo- 

 sition, every medicine is burdened with more or less of 

 acrimonious and injurious qualities, by ttiis each indi- 

 vidual virtue only that is desired for the cuiative effect 

 is present. All'the inert and obnoxious qualities of 

 each substance employed are left behind, the curative 

 virtues only being retained. Hence it is self evident 

 the effects should prove as they have proved, more 

 purely remedial, and the Pills a mors powerful anti- 

 dote to disease than any other medicine known to the 

 world. Prepared by Dr. JAMES C. AYER, Practi- 

 cal and Analytical "Chemist, Lowell, Mass.
