The land advertised by 4. D. Hill an Thos.
z. Elder, commissioners, to be sold on the

See notice.
OoaREcTIoN.-In the advertisement Of
sale OF farm by Z. M. Gushing, there was an
error in the day of sale. 1t should be We'd
nesday March Goth, instead of Monday; Sec
advertisement, as corrected.
SpRINa.-March. thus far presents G rather
disagreeable conflict between Winter and Spring
for supremacy. Up to this writing the vantage
ground is held by Old Boreas with almost savage
severity. Occasionally the genial sun shines out,
and the spring birds send forth their trembling
notes, to give sign that the season of budding
trees and flowers is approaching. But scarcely
have the sweet, cheerful strains died away, ere o
terrific squall of snow reminds us that Winter
still contests the right to reign. The issue can
not'remain long In doubt, however. Elastic spring
will assert her prerogative the birds will carol
their matin hymns; the trees will put forth their
fragrant foliage, the grass will come up green
and beautiful, the balmy zephyrs and reyiving
nature will testify that the vernal season is upon
US and the husbandman will go forth to ploEs
and sow for mans sustenance and comfort.
AN APPROPRIATE sERMoN.-Hev. W. e.
Baker, Of the Stsunton Presbyterian Church
preached, on last Sabbath night, ar appropri.
ate sermon for the instruction and edifcation
OF young men. His text was the 9th, 25th,
and 10Th, verses of the 18th, chapter of PauPs
Epistie to the Hebrews. We aid not have
the pleasure of hearing it, but learn from
those who did, that the subject was treated
with marked ability, and had very salutary
effect, Mr.. Baker is one of those ministers
who inspires the confidence Of his hearers,
and whatever he says is appreciated as COM
Jag from the heart, and fathsred by sincere
desire to advance the spiritual interests of
those to whom he speaks. This confidence
is essential to the accomplishment of good,
for without it the preachers efforts are locked
upon as merely intellectual
CHARLOTTESVILLE WOODEN M1LLs-We
alluded last week to these Mills and called at
tention to the specimens of cloth in our pos
session, which give an idea of the character
OF goods manufactured at them. A number
of our citizens Of city and county have exam
ined them and pronounced them equal, at
least, to anything of the kind they have ever
seen. We feel deep interest, in not only
the success of the Charlottesville Mills, but
OF every other home enterprise whose object
is to increase trade and keep our money
among ourselves. We should like to learn
OF large patronage being extended to the
Charlottesville Wooden Mills, from the people
Of Staunton and Augusta county. They de-
serve it. The quality of goods they turn out
is very superior-the texture fine; the sur
face smooth and even, and the appearance
attractive. The most fastidious taste cannot
fail to be satisfied. BY sending orders to these
Mills, Virginia enterprise will be encourag-
ed, and the purchaser get the worth of his
money, without fear of deception.
