The, various projected lines Of rail-
way ib Western Virginia are rapidly
enhancing the price Of land. In Mich
olas county, large quantity Of land
heretofore considered almos, valueles%,
has bson recently bought up by new
settlers, principally from the Eastern

thousand acres have been purchased in
