Mr.. Editor: In looking over The items Of

Gle under the head Of Neo Street, aud riln-
ming through it notice, the worrda-aihrough

ed in The same manner 10 tie road running
crosspise 70 Pocotaligo.' That road Mr..
Editor, will run in a very awkward and pro.
voking manner across my In nd, and in my
estimation will greatly Diminish, its value i
am opposed to it altogether. An attempt was
made two or three years ago before the Board
Of Road Commissioners 10 push the road in
tho direction now alIudedto then oppo-
sed It. and The worthy chairman Of that Board
remarked that the scheme, upon my opposi-
sion, could not, according to the laws Of the
land, be prosecuted. IS
Without dwelling upon reasons which
feel to be conclusive, why DO not wish to be
isolated by the establishment Of such road,
] will say; that I hid much rather dispose al
my place than to occupy the unpleasant posi-
tion OF being an opEoser.

(Moyers) If he would not return, when he replied
he thought he would go on to Staunton as he had

Now the remark that we would see him in town
that evening, was brought forth by Wilson's hav-

eighty-fve dollars for his nay, that he thought he
might be able to purchase Meyers nag for about
sixty dollars which, under the circumstances, he
would be willing to give. We went from thence
to Calhoon's, who had declined selling his nag, and
from thence we went 10 see Snuff 3 and purchased
it, and then returned to Eidson's and purchased
his.

PRIME ROCKBRIDGE LAND
IN THE MARKET.

GIVING to a long continued indispostion that
- has rendered me unable to attend to nv busi-
ness, am induced to offer for sale that most desi-
rabe and very valuable
y a G No
called SYCAMORE, on which | reside. 1t lies ad-
joining the town Of Lexington. The residence is
With" fifteen ,ninnies walk of the sehoo,s
rious seminaries of learning for which the town is
so justly celebrated. To gentleman who is de-
sirous of educating his family under his own eye,
more desirable situation could be offered-be-
ing near enough the town to enjoy all its advanta-
ges, yet so Tar removed to avoid many Of its an
noyances. The farm contains about
600 Acres,
near 200 of which is in wood which sells readily
in town at 81 load and 400 cleared, and in a
fine state Of improvement, capable OF producing the
heaviest crops of grah grass our climate will ma
ture-and all well incosed, with water in every
field and lot, and watered
MEADOW,
amply sufficient for all the purposes of the farm
and which may be increased if desired. The
proprietor has spent twenty years OF his life in en-
deavors to make it fine farming and grazing es-
tate, and he fatters himself that his efforts have
not been without success, and believes that the
purchaser will find every improvement, not of ne
cessity only, but of comfort and convenience that
he would desire.
The buildings have all with two exceptions
been put up within Is or Is years.
The Dwelling House
is Of bricli-very larce-and conveniently arrang-
ed for the accommodation of a large family-it con
tans ten rooms besides five large passages and
porches and also basement and garret--the base
ment is divided as above and is dry and airy
Attached to the dwelling is a kitchen and work
room.
The negro houses are of brick, well ventilated
and capable of accommodating all the hands neces-
sary to operate the farm The meat house is two
storics-the lower story used as an eating house
for the negroes There is fine dairy convenient
with excellent water-a lumber house with cider
and apple cellar, and by the way first rate

unnecessary to say more to induce persons desiring
to buy such property to view it-then they can sea
and Judge Hor themselves. My brother II. Bar
clay will take pleasure in showing the farm in m,
