this valuation may, perhaps, be thought
high, when compared with even the best pFi-
vate houses in our country. Its outlines will
remove this doubt. The valuers calculated the
mn 81 Ill. LII,
found them to be 0,000, and stone work be-.
sides made the whole equivalent to upwards of
million. In the execution Of the york nothing
had been spared to give it durability The roof
is covered with tin, and consequently fire proof.
There are four spacious Porticos, one in each
front and flank, the external, and the principal
apartments within, (twenty IN number, exclu-
sve of the cellars and servants rooms in the
basement story,) are finished in the best man
| ner and in the chas:es style of ancient archie
lecture. The offices and their covered ways ex>
| tend from each flank 200 feet. The ground on
which it stands, is oval lawn, 500 feet in
| length, and between two and three acres area,
on the summit of the hill of Monticello The
Garden is asngle terrace on the side ofihe hill,
1000 feet long, and two acres in ares. The land
annexed, 409 ACRES, is of the very best quality
| OF upland. The part in cultivation is in good
heart generally. The woodland three-fiiths of
| the whole, is OF the most fertile quality of rich,
virgin vegetable mould, heavily timbered, and
! from one and half to three miles only distant
from Charlottesville and the University. Be-
| sides WELL sixty feet deep, furnishing, except
| in seasons of drought, fine drinking water,
! there are two never-failing streams, within con.
venlent distance. The buildings are in perfect
| repair. For fear OF error second estimate
was made, with more care and inquiry, the re-
suit of which gave $4,000 more-the appras.
ers, however, determined to abide by the first,
| and TO state it rather below than above the reaf
value. From these facts any one may satisfy
himself as to the estimates. tick
cts are charged at the Scheme price of $40,
which, although few cents exceeding the
price necessary to equal the FIRST valuation OF
| the Estates from the above explanations falls
| near S12,600 shor, of the actual value of the
| property, and will render it somewhat more adj
Santageous to the heirs of MIR. Jefferson.
