IL ing that the declining state OF his health re-
quires the elioratiug influence of a more South
ern climate, offers his FARMS, in the Piedmont
region of Virginia, Culpeper county, at private

Virg mia than this, and perhaps none desira-
bic for agricultural pursuits, all things considered

dence of the Hon. J. Morton, contains $50 mine
handred and ftty-six) acres of Land, now beauti-
fully set in Glover, Timothy, Orchard and Blue
Grasses, except the field planted in Corn, and is
divided by good fences into seven fields, all Of
which are well watered with never failing streams,
excepting one field, which has no running water
in it for two months of Summer if dry, when it is
necessary TO pended rain water. The soil is
generally the Blue and Red Chocolate Slate SOIL

it, producing the cereals, particularly wheat, and
the grasses, in great luXuriance.
The FARM lies beautifully, and has on it q
sufficient supply of wood and timber for all farm.
a. ing purposes. The DWELLING, situated on
E$i an eminence nearly in the middle OF the farm,
and overlooking most of it, stands in lawn of
ten acres, planted in trees of every variety,
which grow in our climate, particularly the Ever

beginning to bear, comprise all the varieties Of
Fruit, with fine variety of grapes. The housei Is
Il good one, and contains four rooms on the first
floor besides a Library and closets, and four rooms

rous and in good condition, the cabins being par
ticularly well built. Stilimore is six miles south
of Brandy Station, on the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad-thus one can reach Richmond, Alexan-
dria Washington and Baltimore in few hours.

lgent moral and refined people-churches of all
denominations are convenient, and good male ana
female schools are in successful operation ut the
Court house, which is nine miles distant. Few
farms offer better inducements TO the grazier and
wheat grower. Stillmore being particularly noted
for its wheat producing capacity, in this fine wheat
growing region, and now that every field has been
well under drained, mostly by the use Of rock, its
capacities have been increased.
