LA PLAISANCE.

NOR SALE.-La Plaisance, the residence
n of Madam Vinton, in Pomfret State OF
Connecticut. The buildings stand on a lot
of twelve acres, on the brow of an eminence
commanding landscape Of great extent and
beauty, including view of the Vista leading
to Putnam's Wolf den, so famed in American
story. The land is highly cultivated, and be-
ing part of the finest dairy country in New
England, no soil can surpass it in fertility and
profit. The house is two stories high, spa
cious, antique, and low studded, having a
kitchen and Offices attached, all in complete
repair and supplied with every convenience
to promote comfort and to save labor The
out buildings are commodious, and consists
of barn with carriage house and stables,
granury, wood house, grape arbors, &c. The
! garden is large:-has an aspect towards the
| such as strawberries, asparagus, fruit bushes
and vines. The grounds are pIofusely plant
! ed with trees, shrubs and vines, orname ntal
and useful. The fruit trees are very prolific,
yielding cherries, apples and peaches of the
finest varieties. OF grapes there are many
sorts, domestic and foreign.
The locality, being on much travelled
road in an agreeable neighborhood is yet suf-
| ficiently secluded to afford choice either of
society or retirement. There are four church.
es within the distance of mile, Episcopal,
Quaker, Congregational and Baptist.
| Few situations can be found more desirable
| than this estate for a moderate condition in
/ life. 1t offers an economical investment for
a country residence, or it might be made pro-
fitable if appropriated to the Silk culture, for
which no land is better adapted. The air is
pure, invigorating and mild medicinal springs,
with accommodations for bathing and drink
ing the waters, are within short ride over a
good road
Purchasers are invited to visit the premi-
ses, or to apply for further information, tc

DISTRIBUTION OF THE SURPLUS
REVENUE.

/ Tho first message Of president jackson 10
Congress, at the opening of the session in
December, 1899, contained the following i'm
portant recommendations
"After the extinction Of the public debt, it
is not probable that any adjustment Of the
tariff, upon principles satisfactory to tho
people of the union, will, until remote PERIOD
If ever, leave the government without con-
siderable surplus in the treasury, beyond
what may be required for its current service.
+, AS then the period approaches when the ap-
plicaton Of the revenue to the payment OF
debt will cease, the disposition of the surplus
will present a subject for the serious delib-
eratisn of Congress; and it may be fortunate
for the country that it is yet to be decided
Considered in connexion with the difficulties
which have heretofore attended appropria-
tons for purposes Of internal improvement
and with those which this experience tells us
will certainly arise, whenever power over
such subjects may be exercised by the gen.
eral government, il is hoped that it may lead
to the adoption of some plan which will re-
concile the diversified interests Of the states,
and strengthen the bonds which unite them,
Every member of the union, in peace and in
war, will be benefited by the improvement
Of inland navigation, and the construction Of
! highways in the several states. Let US then
endeavor to attain this benefit in a mode
which will be satisfactory to ALL That hith-
erto adopted has, by many Of our fellow cit
liens, been deprecated as an infraction Of tho
constitution, while by others il has been
viewed as inexpedient. All feel that II has
been employed at the expense Of harmony
in the legislative counciss TO AVOID
THESE EVILS 1T APPEARS TO ME-
THAT THE MOST SAFE, JUST, AND
FEDERAL DISPOSITION WHICH
COULD BE MADE OF TIE SURPLUS
REVENUE, WOULD BE IT'S Ar.
