Two Desirable Tracts of Land for Sale 

 in Nelson, 43 NEGROES, &c. 



By virtue of the provisions of deed of trust executed 

 to me by Robert L. Brown and wife, dated the 28th 

 'of November, 1857, and duly recorded in the clerk's 

 office of Nelson County Court, I shall, as trustee in 

 said deed, sell to the highest bidder, at public auction, 

 for purposes therein specified, two superior tracts of 

 Land in Nelson County. The first to be sold on the 

 5th day of Febkuary, 1858, (FRIDAY,) if fair, if 

 not, on the next fair day thereafter, is a tract lying on 

 the waters of James river, 2-| miles below New Market, 

 adjoining the land of Wm. D. Cabell and others, and 

 containing 25 acres. This tract i3 in a high state of 

 improvement and has quite a large crop of wheat 

 eeeded upon it, in good time and in the best manner. 

 There is a great deal of timber upon the land, and 

 being so near the canal, those so disposed could very 

 conveniently ship their wood to market. This estate 

 has all the necessary improvements, lately built, con- 

 sisting of overseer's house, tobacco houses, stable, &c. 

 To those desiring a larger tract, I would state that 

 another tract of the same nutnbt rof (250) acres adjoins, 

 which could be purchased on reasonable terms, and 

 lying, like this, immediately upon James river, contain- 

 ing many acres of rich low grounds. There are also 6 

 negroes upon this place, most of them likely. Also, 

 horses, mules, oxen and plantation tools of every 

 description/about 300 barrels of corn, crop of tobacco, 

 and the usual offal belonging to such an estate. 



The other tract of Land will be sold on the 8th 

 day of February 1853, (MONDAY,) and as many 

 days thereafter as may be necessary to complete the 

 sale. This is a most excellent tract, adjoining the 

 lands of Miss Peggy Rives, Wm. C. Hives and others, 

 and containing, by recent survey, 1011^ acres. This 

 is the tract upon which the said Ro L. Brown now 

 resides, so well known in the neighborhood as " Ben- 

 venue," lying within a stone's throw of the Orange, and 

 Alexandria Railroad extension from Gordonsville to 

 Lynchburg — being only about 30 miles from the latter 

 city, 5 miles from Nelson, C. H,, and 7 from New Mar- 

 ket. This tract has also quite a large crop of wheat 

 seeded upon it. About 500 acres of the land cleared, 

 the balance in original growth. For years it has been 

 cultivated in good style, and is very well adapted to 

 the successful growth of corn, wheat, tobacco, oats, 

 clover, &c. 'Tis very rare that such a tract is offered 

 for sale, and all acquainted with the land will testify 

 that it is as good if not superior to any in the county, 

 gave James river low grounds. The improvements 

 consist of a most superb mansion with six rooms, an 

 excellent office in the yard, and all necessary out 

 buildings — put up in the nicest and best manner — con- 

 sisting of an excellent barn, stables, tobacco houses, 

 negro cabins, &c. The house is situated upon a 

 beautiful hill, commanding one of the prettiest moun- 

 tain views in Eastern Virginia, and the neigborhood is 

 one of the healthiest and most agreeable in this sec- 

 tion of the State. This being a very large tract, pur- 

 chasers desiring it may be accommodated by a divi- 

 sion of the land to suit their purposes. I will also state 

 that a private sale, may be effected before the day of 

 public sale, should the price offered be satisfactory, 

 and those desiring to buy would do well to visit the 

 place and see for themselves At the same time, also, 

 will be sold, 37 slaves — men, women and children, 

 among them a No. I carpentei, blacksmith and fine 

 house servants. Also, the stock of houses, mules, 

 cattle, hogs, &c., nearly 500 barrels of corn, crop o.f 

 tobacco and the offal usually belonging to such a large 

 estate. Also, furniture of all kinds and of the most 

 valuable character. 



Terms of Sale. — The land will be sold on a credit | 

 of 1, 2 and 3 years, bearing interest from day of sale ; 

 Negroes on six months lime, negotiable paper, well 

 endorsed, interest added. Balance of property men- 

 tioned on six months credit, bearing interest from date 



for all sums over $10; cash required for all sums not 

 exceeding that amount. 



Possession given immediately. Title to all this 

 property unquestionable.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY. 



I offer for sale my North Devon Bull, BEN BOLT, 

 having bred from him four years, and having a num- 

 ber of heifers of his getting, from which I wish to 

 breed, I am disposed to sell him. It is seldom indeed 

 that an opportunity presents of procuring so perfect 

 and valuable a Bull of this the best breed of cattle. — 

 He is now six years old, is in full vigour, and will be 

 valuable for service for six or eight years to come. — 

 He has never been pampered, having been kept only 

 in that condition best fitting him for service, and has 

 never had a cover on his body to improve his coaf, 

 and is perfectly hardy and healthy. Since he was a 

 yearling he has been exhibited at eight different Cat- 

 tle Shows, once at Baltimore, twice at Richmond, 

 once at Petersburg, and lour times near Norfolk, and 

 has always been the best Bull, and been awarded the 

 highest premium of the class in which he competed; 

 and since he was three years old, he has, with one 

 single exception (and that was by mistake) been inva- 

 riably the premium Bull, at those shows, in the class 

 of premium animals. 1 had his pedigree, but have 

 lost or mislaid it; if I had it, it would be of no use to 

 give it, for those who can see him, as he carries his 

 pedigree about him, in the pefection of his " points," 

 and his almost unequalled symmetry and beauty. Fie 

 has been uniformly pronounced by connoisseurs who 

 have seen him (both from the North and the South) 

 to be- the best Devon bull they had ever seen. His 

 '•escutcheon" indicative of his being a getter of good 

 dairy stock, is larger and more fully developed than 

 1 have ever seen on any bull; and his heifers are ac- 

 cordingly, uniformly superior milkers. He can be 

 seen at any time, at my place adjacent to Norfolk; 

 and will be on exhibition at the Cattle Show of the 

 Seaboard Agricultural Society on the 10th to the 14th 

 November prox. I have also for sale a pure bred De- 

 von Bull Calf, about 4 months old, sired by Ben Bolt, 

 and a grade Bull Calf, (three-quarters Devon blood) 

 about 6 months old. ^ 



One very fine Essex Boar, 3 years old. 



One very fine Suffolk Boar, 3 years old. 



One large Chester County Boar, 3 years old. 

 And several Essex and Suffolk Sows, and a number 

 of" Essex and other varieties of pigs.
