A Most Desirable Estate Nm

"lSHlNG to transfer portion Of my labor |
w to the South West, where have large and
valuable landed property that desire to bring
into active operation, offer ior sale one Of the
most desirable highland Estates In this region of
country.
This Estate is in Nelson county, s miles below
the Court House, hourishing little vilage-and
8 miles above New Market, on the James River
Canal. The tract contains

well timbered-and very large portion OF it as
hne Tobacco land as any in that part Of the coun-
try. Most Of the cleared land IN good state
of cultivation, having been improved by the par
Nal use of Plaster and Clover, to which think
1t is as well adapted as tho famous "Short Hiiis'
of Loudoun.
The tract occupies beautiful valley, the GEN.
tire OF which Is cleared, leaving i supply of tim
Der on each side, running shor. distance up the
sides OF the low mountains forming the valley.
Although situated among mountains, this tract of
land lies remarkably well-being level as
could be desired, with not so acres on the noun
tain side too steep for cultivation.
1t has, think, near 100 .4cres Of Creek and
Branch Flats, (most Of which are highly impro-
we'd, having been keptup as Tobacco Lots,) capa-
Ole Of being concerted into Waiered nteadop. This
meadow land alone, under judicious system oil
management, such as is practised by the Farmers
of the Valley of Va, would give profit greater
than the interest on the purchase money for the
Estate! Hay has during the las, year been sci
