For 10 or Is gears,
Smiths Island,

Lying off Cape Charles, supposed TO
contain between and 5000 acres, and
capable of rearing, end bringing to per
lection, as much stock of every kind, as
any one estate in Virginia. For cattle,
horses, hogs and sheep, Smiths Island
affords uncommon advantages; the dis
lance to Norfolk being inconsiderable,
and where an excellent market for all
species Of stock is Away tobe had. Inc
rearing of mules would particularly re-
commend, as they are not SO palatable
TO either friends or foes as the fine
Smiths Island mutton, deseryedly cele-
brated BY the many who have tasted It.
The Island will support from 1900 to
COCO sheep independent OF the larger
animals. Very valuable seine fisheries
NAV be established, as late experiments
have been made by the subscriber per-
fectly satisfactory on that head.
Sheep, cattle, and horses are brought
from the arid pastures Of the Main, and
placed on the Sea Islands, at from one
to three dollars per head: accidents are
rare, and escapes impossible.
The stock at present on the Island
supposed to be about $50 head oil cattle
and about as many sheep, are tor sale 90
whsmsoever may be disposed to lease.
Should the Island not be leased before
the ffst of September, stock will De tan
en- in on pasturage, and an assistant IS
wanted to superintend the estate.
Offers not less than 1000 dollars per
annum. the same having been offered,
will please to be made through Alexan-
dria post office, to
