RESIDENCE FOR SALE.

residence as Magnet Ceye, remarkable and romantic spot--embraeing some l5OO or 20O0 acres cf valley land, of the greatest fertility. The magnetic iron ore with which fl abounds. together with the fact of it's being saeireIed with very high hills, suggested, @MAcSEr CovE," as an appropriate name Tor the valley. It is situated 45 miles from Lslle Rock, Arksnsas, 14 miles from the Hot Springs, one mile and a halffrom the Washiia River, and five miles west of the great South- ern road, leading from Memphis Tenn, by Little Rock and Red river, to Texas, on winch is iri-wcekly line of Stages, from Little Rock 10 Washington, near Red river, and branch of said line, passing directly through Magnet Cove valley, to the Hot Springs, three times a week. Its geographical locality, is in north latitude 34o, 30R
 This valley was first settled by hunters. in the year 1911, when it was the favorite resort of large herds of Bufalo. as well as wild animals of various other kinds.
 To eejoy all the sweets of mountain life, no spot in the South West, combines SO many rare advantages for residence, as Magnet COse. The extent of the circle of mountains andhigh hills, with which i, is surrounded to- gether with its great Ghasde, permits none but the pure mountain air to approach 1t. It is healfky beyond comparison, with all other plaees tn the Southwestern country. Are gulaF try-weekly line, by Steam Boats and stages from the Mississippi river renders its approach from that river, easy and certain. It's being within two hours ride of the Iiol Spings, will nos prove any objection. ,o the invalid from rheumatism, for there, he can find sovereign cure.
 To be able, ih six or seven hours, every alternate day, to communicate by stage, with Iitile Rock, the seat of Government for the State, is convenience, which in mountain retreat, should be highly appreciated. As sedteriRg place, for the restoration of health, which has become impaired by diseases in- cident to southern citrate, few spots afford so good variety and quality of mineral wa ters. Embracing spring of most delightful sulphur water, which has long been renown- ed for its salutary effects, in cases of diseased liver, enlargement of the spleen, dyspepsia, iaundice &c. &c.-severaibold, limpid chaly- beoies of the best quality known in any To system generally facilitated the latter afford better tonic than can ne prepared by all the medical faculty In ad- dition are numerous other springs of pure cold water-one of which Is a large boiling fountain almost icy cold, and constantly emi- ling biubbsrs, supposed to be occasione,l bv hrfd air, in the region of its source-this spring furnishes the iighiest, as we'll as the most delightful mountain water, of which the imagination can conceive-and is perpe.ually inhabited by numerous minnows or small fish. The huntsman. who seeks the Bear, the Deer or the Turkey, or who desires to join in the chase, for the Leopard-Cat and the Fox--or who would spend an hour or two at the Washiia river, taking fine mountain fish, either by angling, or with the harpooB, can have his desire in any, and all. gratited to greater extent, in and around Magnet Cove. than any where else.
 This valley, furnishes an inexhaustable supply of iron ore. of two kinds, one called magnetic, and the other bog ore. 1 German mineralogist. has pronounced that of the for mer, to he the richea which he has ever seen, either in Europe or America and says. that the two kinds properly combined, will make any and every description of iron, that Is used.
 For purposes of agriculture, this valley eanno, be surpassed-,he soil resembling. and being in every respect, equal 10 the alluvial lands on our large rivers. Corn, Wheat, Rye. Oats, Red Clover and Herds-grass. are all produced from it, in great abundance and perfection.
 For stock raising. it is the spot above all others, which would select for rearing fine horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. The produc- iveness of its soil for grain, the superior meadow-lands, luxnriant crops of the naIire grass and llle riId DeGrinc. annually prndu- ced by the rich hills and mountains in the vicinity-ihe immense crops of acorns, pro- duced by ien>e mountain forest of oaks, all give abundant evidence of the facility and cheapness, with which, every description of domestic animal, useful to man, can be reared al Magnet Cove.
 The Jraaches from it's numerous springs, traverse all portions of the valley-and every field and lot may be arranged so as to have living water, always passing through them
 4 beautiful mill stream, called coce creek, passes through the valley. on which has been erected an excellent mill, which saws and grinds amply, for the present wants of the surrounding country On the same stream, near it's junction with the Washiia river, is a site a, which anothes valuable mill may be constructed, with sufficient power for the purpose of saving, and grinding and manu- featuring of cotton or wooden goods.
 Therefore, whether a mountain situation, should be wanting for AeaiA and the eratiG- cation of desire for romantic life alone, or whether in addition. il should be desirable 10 combine iacratire pursuits with it; such as the profits of a popular rateriag place, ina, of agriculture and stoct raising, that of ro,, making and that of m0nut taciaring, by water power, all may be combined at Magnet Cove.
