giant mansion Of VIM. R. Van Rensselaer,,
about one mile from Albany, is advertis-
cd for sale. The house is one OF the
most extensive ever erected in America.
lis whole cost was $4,000. The walls
and ceilings are painted in pieces by Bra
galdi, and the whole house is warmed by
Perkins hot water pipes. There are
two miles Of wrought iron pipes laid
down in the house for the purpose. AT
tached to the house are extensive pleas
ure grounds, containing a variety OF
trees and shrubbery, and five miles Of
winding carriage road. The whole es-
tate contains 500 acres, 800 Of which! is
enclosed by substantial board fence,
thoroughly painted. The house stands
on the bank Of the Hudson, 900 feet a.
bove the river, and commands view Of
unsurpassed beauty and extent. To
millionaire, who wishes for place ready
made TO hand, this house Of Beverwyck
presents attractions not often found in A
merca. The grounds can be kept up
for $4,000 per annum. 1t is a great pity
that such superior seat should so long
remain untcnantod, especially when it is
considered that the price asked is only
$50, o00.-- Rochester Dem.

w thanks to our friends and the public
generally, for the liberal share of patronage
we have received at their hands for the past 2
years, and hope. by strict attention and punc
tuatty to business, to merit continuance of
such patronage.
We take this method of informing the pub
lie, that we have, at great expense, purchas-
ed the right Of the "Irovlie Patent" Of the
proprietor, John McIntre, Esq, of st. Louis,
to be used by us exclusively within the city md
county of Dubuque.
The above patent.right consists of new
and highly important improvement for the
mixing and preparing of white lead, and all
other colors, applicable TO every color; acithout
the use Of alcalies Of any description, whereby
whater, handsomer. and more durable paint IS
produced.
: The said improvement is now in successful
use in most Of the large eastern and southern
cities, and the right has been purchased by the
u 5. government for the of the Navy De-
partment, after having given it most salts
factory and scrutinising trial.
Al who are acquainted with the nature of
white lead and ell, know that they have no f.
Unity for each othcr--that, mix them as tho
roughly as possible, they will separate on
standing few hours, the lead sinking to the
bottom, the oil remaining, clear and pure, on
the top. If, then, anything can be added to
thcm' "nlch' without InJurlng the body OF the
