Good Opportunity for Situation. 
A GENTLEMAN in Eastern Va., desirous of engaging in other 
pursuits for 8 or 10 years, wishes to arrange with some intelli¬ 
gent, upright, industrious, persevering farmer, from the north,—one 
Who can come well recommended in every way, to take charge of 
his farm on the 1st March next, for a term of years, upon shares. 
Said farm is within easy distance of the markets of both Peters¬ 
burg and Richmond, and near James river. It contains 500 acres— 
300 arable, well marled; 50 acres of unclaimed meadow, 20 re¬ 
claimed, 5 in grass, 150 well set in clover; is excellent wheat, corn, 
and clover land, and easy to work and improve. There is 100 acres 
seeded in wheat. The land is well adapted to grazing, and has a 
fine range for sheep. There is a young orchard—400 choice apple 
trees, usual stock—utensils, Ac.; good house, out-houses, garden, 2 
barns, 400 feet of shedding for stock, 2 wells, Ac. The farm is well 
watered. He wishes it converted, as much as possible, into a grazing 
and dairy farm. He will furnish 6 hands, and provisions for one 
year, and furniture in house. 
To any man who can come suitably recommended, and who is 
able to invest $2,500 in additional'stock (cows or sheep,) and uten¬ 
sils, manures, Ac., he will give one-fourth of the clear profits for ten 
} ears, and the value of the stock lie put in at the end of ten years— 
or refund $2,500, and pay for all permanent improvement during that 
time. The farm must be improved as much as possible—as may be 
contracted. In selecting cows, it must be with a-view to dairy; 
sheep, for wool and mutton. Any one coming, should bring per¬ 
sons skilled in dairy management. A peach orchard would be found 
extremely profitable. The entire management, except permanent 
improvements and alterations, will be given up to the party agree¬ 
ing. Direet to P, Cabin Point, Ya. 
N. B. His reason for requiring an investment, is to make the party 
more interested. The farm can easily be made to realise $4,000 a 
year, or more, by good management. Hay commands $1, to $1.25. 
Rutter, 20 to 25 cents. The farm is perfectly healthy.
