great bargain in a small Farm of
about 800 ACRES. Perhaps there is not a
farm in the county more desirable, either on
account of the beauty of its location, the
fertility of its soil, or the facility of getting
It's products to either the District or Bal
timore markets. 1t is we'll wooded and
watered; and a good proportion of it is
first rate meadow land. 1t is also healthy;
for on the adjoining farm, the residence of
the subscriber, out of upwards of fifty per-
sons in family, whites and blacks, there was
not one single case of bilious fever the last
year. Those wishing to purchase such a
farm are respectfully invited to view the
premises and judge for themselves.

10 behalf Of the Brothers of Temperance,
assure you, dear lady, that we hail this pre-
sent from the Temperance ladies of Washing
ton, as the proudest achievement Of our era
1t has been proclaimed that our cause-our
glorious temperance principles were fast dying
away--that the excitement being over, this
great moral movement of the age, would soon
be numbered among the things that were. Blu,
the presentation of this banner--this Incident
thl speciace---scalters this fabrication Of our
enemies to the winds--for when the ladies
come 70 the rescue OF any enterprise, the victory
is almost complete--its ultimate success is
certain.
The sight Of this banner will ever encour-
age us 10 the path of our temperance duties
aod we promise you, that we will never sur
render the sacred gift---or yield one inch o
the ground Of our principles, to the enemy
Sincerely wishing you all the enjoyment Q
that happiness with which the success OF ou
cause will 6ll your heart and the hearts Q
those who are near and dear to you--we wi
now, respectfully, take our leave.
