from every species of Vermin, Rats, the large Ants, Weavels, Mice, 
Cockroaches &c., and believes to say with confidence, that he will 
and can warrant all his various preparations. 
He solicits orders from the country, and promises no person shall 
be dissatisfied ; in short, he can assure his friends that he is perform¬ 
ing wonders with his Fly Paper, and Rat and Cockroach Poison.

HOVEY’S STRAW CUTTER. 
r PHIS machine has received the highest premiums of the Agricul- 
*- tural Societies of Massachusetts and New-York, and has given 
the most entire satisfaction wherever known. Some improvements 
which it has lately undergone, it is believed, render it as perfect an 
implement for its destined purpose, as can be desired. There are six 
different sizes—the prices of which, range from $12 to $35. The 
two largest sizes are suited to the application of horse-power, &c 
For sale in this city. Inquire at the office of “ THE CULTIVA¬ 
TOR.” July 1—tf. 
VIRGINIA FARMS FOR SALE. 
I HAVE for sale several good farms, being portions of the estate 
called Oak Hill, in Loudon county, Virginia, late the residence 
of President Monroe. It is about 30 miles from Washington, Alex¬ 
andria and Georgetown—in a most healthy region, well watered 
and peculiarly calculated for raising stock of all kinds. To industri¬ 
ous and enterprising applicants, very liberal terms of payment will 
be given. S. L. GQUVERNEUR. 
Washington, July 1, 1845—july 1—5t. 
FARM FOR SALE. 
I T consists of two lots, situated on opposite sides of the Albany and 
Schenectady turnpike, four miles from Albany. The lot on the 
north of the road, comprises forty, and that on the south, sixty acres. 
Both are enclosed by a good fence of boards with chestnut posts, 
erected a little more than a year ago. The lot on the south side has 
a small house, a stable with shed, and a good yard for manure, or 
stock. It is also provided with a well of excellent water. There 
are permanent streams of water on both lots. The stream called 
the Patroon’s brook runs across the whole width of the south lot. 
With the exception of about a third of an acre on the north lot, both 
have been entirely cleared, drained where necessary, thoroughly 
plowed, seeded last year with clover and grasses, and will yield this 
season nearly or quite an average of two tons of hay to the acre. 
The two lots are suitable either for one farm or two farms, but will 
be sold together or separately, to suit purchasers. The natural po¬ 
sition, as well as the soil of both lots is good, and cannot fail to give 
satisfaction. Every thing considered, a more desirable situation 
could scarcely be found in this vicinity. 
For particulars, inquire at this office, or of JOHN McCARDELL, 
corner of Nassau and Pine-streets, New-York.
