As an evidence Of what a railroad will
do, we are informed that J. A. Dale ESQ.,,
sold last week to Capt. JAS. Brogan, 240

little more than 81 per acre. A month
ago the land was valueless This tract

probation of his efforts, we suggest that

for plenty of breadstutfs. Oats in the
Hills are fine as usual, while there are
but few planted on the alluvials we note
that Colonel Levy has 8 acres as beauti-
full as ever grew. Grains and grasses are
attracting attention, and this follows our
improvement of stock.
A short ride down the river showed
improvements that surprised lis. Plank
fencing has almost entirely replaced the
old Virginia rail, and the cut-offs are all
gone-fenced in and under cultivation,

from the cool nights, but we hope they
will give place to our usual weather at
this season, in short while.
