SALES OF LAND.—We understand that the Earl
of Kintore has just purchased the compact small estate of
Balbithan, in the parish of Keith-hall, from Mr. Abernethy
Gordon. The purchase price is £28,500. The property of
Wester Fintray has also been sold to the same nobleman by
the Skene Trust—purchase price, £35,000. Both the pro-
perties march with the Kintore lands, and make, therefore,
a valuable addition to his lordship's already fine estates in
Aberdeenshire. The fine lying estate of Woodside, three
miles north of Aberdeen, was recently sold to Dr. Will, of
the Royal Aberdeenshire Militia. The lands of. Kingseat,
