fourteen miles from Baltimore on the Great Falls
of Gunpowder River, with all its buildings, ma
chinery, and about 225 acres Of land is believed
| to have cost above 100000. The building
which contained the implements and machinery
for printing or stamping, with the most valuable
part of its contents was destroyed last spring by
fire-that unfortunate loss, with the great depres
sion which had for more than year rendered the
manufacture Of cotton goods in the United States
unprofitable-caused the operations OF the Facto-
nv to be wholly discontinued in July.

County Court sitting as Court Of Equity. four
undivided fifth parts of the Factory, machinery
and lands sold at public auction to Z. w.
DoSSELL. ESQ From the well known energy,
vigilance, and ability of this enterprizing gentle
man we have no doubt that the Factory will be
soon restored to its former usefuness.an We hope
with profit to the Owner.-BaA. Gag.
