2.4OO ACRES

of Land attached to the Furnace, the greater
part we'll timbered. Ore is very abundant. of
good quality, and within two miles of the
Furnace. One bank is of the kind called pipe
ore. There is good saw mill and tub mill
on the lands. Also or 10 comfortable hou-
SEES, and as many permanent springs. The
buildings are all excellent, and the stack e.
quail to any in Virginia. Limestone of good
quality is within quarter of mile, and the
coalings Tor five years may not be farther than
three miles. Seventy-five acres are cleared
and about five hundred acres more NAV be
cleared and all well adapted to grass and oats,
and other grain. The supply ofwa.er for the
Furnace is sufficient at the drest time to make
from Ia to Is tons of metal per week. Pro-
visions are plenty, and road opened across
the North Mountain, (Which could be made
HOT about $3OO) would place within miles
OF the Furnace one of the best grain and s.. eek
neighborhoods in this region of country. A
very rich LEAD NINE was some wears ago
discovered, lis believed, on these lands, and
there is little doubt that by some exertion it
could now be found. The subscribers feel
assured that any Individual or company hav-
sng capital to invest, could not make more
Judicious or safe investment than in the DUR
chase of this property. Most of the Furnaces
in this part of the State are getting scarce of
wood and ore, and as this Furnace has an in
tNhdusliDie supply OF both, 1T must In few
years become valuable. Taking all things
!into consideration, pig metal can be made
here at as much profit as at those Furnaces
immediately on the James River. There is
no Furnace iii the Valley where heater or bet

lhere IS something really alarming in the
tone OF the subjoined article, which we COPY
ifomthe Newark Daily Advertiser Ga highly

10 tie Editor of'he Ne,vark Daily Advertiser:
letter has accidentally come into nv
possession which discloses a desperate and
deep-laid scheme to defeat the election of Gen.
Harrison; and, if carried out, will convulse
this Government TO its very centre, and per-
haps result in anarchy and blood
The Post Office is the engine-Amos Ken
dali thelnstrumentt to effect it. The first step
Is already taken, by ordering every channel of
communicating information to the PEOPLE to
be closed, except through his hands and those
engaged In the conspiracy. A startling re-
port, such as the death of Gen. Harrison, NAV
be circulated throug bout Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and New York, just on the eve of the cleo,
ton, and every Wing paper contradicting it
be suppressed.
This scheme accounts for their confidence
In the success of Mr.. Van Buren,, notwith-
standing their overwhelming defeat in almost
every State In Which there has been an cleo
ton. This accounts for the extraordinary
declaration of leading Administration man
recently in the city of New York, that "Tan
Buren, hade card get toploy ,yhich none ofhis
friends Suspected"
You may depend upon il they are PLAYING
desperate game they make no calculations
for retreat; they have inscribed upon their
banners ''rule or ruin" LET EVERY Vine
PRESS THROUGHOUT THE UNION SOUND THE
ALARM. WARN THE WHOLE COUNTRY AGAINST
THIS DARING CONSPIRACY. They have certifi-

O yesi O wee, come and hear the report,
All persons that have aught 10 do
With the case now on, in the Peoples court,
The trial Of Tippecanoe.
The lrst charge i, this, by the plaintiff brought,
"He's a man that nobody knew"
Till some troublesome chap in History sought
The merits of Tippecanoe.
Then he lives in cabin built Of logs"
Drinks nothing but "hard cider" too,
He ploughs his owa ground and feeds his own hogs,
This fellow OF Tippecanoe.
More they could easily bring in this case,
But here to conclusion they drew,
Surprising they'd said quite enough to disgrace
The hero Of Tippecanoe;
Defendants counsel together conferred,
Then submitted these facts were true;
Declaring from them he needed no word
heir client OF Tippeeanoe.
The Jury, whose sober, second thoughts" right,
Accord to each party their due,
Now gave, when they found the charges so light,
A verdict for Tippeeanoe.
The Martin that made the white heuse his nest,
Away with his noisy flock few,
Whea he saw come sweeping on from the west,
