U1BE FOLLOWING STATEMENT II
/ strictly In accordance with the facts, and
is no overdrawn picture OF what can be
done:
ofrich alluvial bottom lands, not liable to
overflow, in the form OF an oblong square,
level, and at this time in fine condition,
situated between thePotomac river and the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, with depot
or switch connected with the property, and
is about half way between Cumberland and
the densely, populated coal and iron region
of Georges Greek Valley, where vegetables,
or: in other words, the products OF q truck
farm, can be sold In any quantity and at
prices far exceeding the rates in Eastern
cities.
The health Of this place and vicinity is
excellent and ague and fever unknown for
the past twenty years
There are also about seventy.five acres OF
strong limestone upland situated on the
opposite side OF the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad from the bottom land.
The quality OF this land and Its proximity
| to certainly the most active and best mar
| kets in the world, would make one under
standing truck farming to realize fortune
This region Of country Is rapidly filling
up, and thus far the market cannot be sup
piled without sending on for vegetables
| from other places.
II any one desiring to make a profitable
investment In such property Will visit TINS
place and find that all we claim for 1t an
well as what Is represented about our mar.
kets, &C, has not been correctly stated, his
| expenses will be paid. We therefore conf.
IDENTIFY invite persons to come and look and
inveStigate the matter for themselves.
There Is lime kiln on or near the prop
erty, which the party buying. can use
| without rent, and thus make bis lime al
simply the expense Of coal and burning.

The Isle de Sairte Marguerite, where
be is TO take up his Heightened resi-
dence, is on the Mediterranean coast Of
France, opposite Cannes and about two
miles and a half from the shore, 1t
lies close to the Italian frontier, and is
one OF the group of two isles called
Lerins. Ste. Marguerite is Of small
extent, is covered with wood, and the
climate, as may be inferred from lts
position, is OF a salubrious character.

Of romantic interest and whose history
has been the subject of labored and e1-
I .nded research. The Man in the Ire n
Mask was confined on the Island from
1856 TO 1908, when he was removed TO
the Bastlle. The dungeon ia which he
was incarceratedis still pointed out, Its
solid windows are guarded by II iron
bars. The only approach to it was
through the governors room. In the
midet of o email garden is q square
building with door on each face. and
evidently constructed with a view to
strength aud to prevent prisoners con-
aped in it from escaping. 1t is unde,
,tood that the condemned Marshal Will
be accompanied in his seclusion BY hli

bis ovements will extend to his SAFE
keeping. In other respects he will have
the privilege Of moving about within
the confines OF the island as mucn Oil
