Sale of Lands.--The farm Of Jesse Layton
of N. w. Fork Hundred, in this County, was
sold on Saturday last, at Seaford, by the late
Sheriff VIM. F. Jones, to VIM. W. Dashell

cred by many as a round price--but which
we consider but fair price for such land
We are happy to find, that lands are rising
rapidly in value in Sussex and the time will
soon come, when lands that mey now be haC
for $40 and SIS per acre, will readily com
mand $40 and $50 per acre.
