MIR. o"eH supported his resolution by speech.

Mr.. LicerMore was also a friend 10 the Academy

disliked this indirect sort of legislation. If the

APPROPRIATION BILL.
The House then again resolved itself into Com

the bill making appropriations for the military SER
vice oil the United States, for the year 1924.
Mr.. Brent made some remarks, on the want Of
puncuaiity in the payment Of the Revolutionary PEN
slons They were, pFofessedly to be paid in March,
but were often not pid ill June, by which distress
sing dlsappolntments were sometimes suffered BY
aged and inhrm soldiers ;.insomuch, that they had,
in some cases assigned their right to receive their
pension, at discount OF 90 per cent to persons who
took an ungenerous advantage of their necessities.
Mr.. NC Lane explained this delay as attributable

Valuable Lands for Sale.

NNR. WILLIAM BEVERLY, ofKing George
lsA county, Va. has authorised me to sell his
estate IN Northumberland county, lying on Ye
ocomico river, and bounced by the great county
road leading from Westmoreland to Northum-
bertrand court house, and known by the name of
Exeter Lodge. Ii contains 500 acres of land,
S00of which are heavily timbered with oak, hic-
kory, chestnut and pine, and being all within
TO of mile to the river, within 20 yards Of
whose banks large vessels may ride and to
whose shore, from the woods, the road is a con-
tiaued descent. The prospects from sales of
timber and cordwood, are excellent. The re-
naming 2OO acres river low grounds, of
excellent quality. The whole combining such
advantages as appear to me TO render il quite
desirable. As MIR. Beverly's desire is to reside
higher up the river, he would either sell the land
at fair price on reasonable payments, or ex-
change it for property any where within ten
miles of the Potomac, above Hooe's ferry in
King George and Alexandria. The terms NAV
he known by applying TO Mr.. Beverly, or the
subscriber, who offers also for sale that valua
Bile estate in King George county, formerly the
property of the late col. Charles Stuart, called
Hilton. This tract contains abOut 740 acres of
fine Potomac land bordering on Chotank, near
the Potomac academy, and in one Of the most
genteel and respectable neighborhoods in the
lower country. Upwards Of one half is cleared
and in cultivation, and am informed that in a
rotation Of crops 2 10 800 bis corn and 500 TO
1000 bush wheat may be annually made. There
is a good dwelling house and large barn, besides
oveTseer's and other houses on the estate; and
that part Of it which is cleared, under good en-
closures. MIR. Benjamin Grymes, in whose pos
session the land is at present, would shew il to
persons DESTROYS of purchasing, and the terms
may be known by applying oYounger Johnson,
esq. near King Geo. courthouse or to
may IL GEO, JOHNSON.
