south OF Charlottesville, called "Broob
Hill" othe Hon. Charles Stapleton Pelham

and Raubv Hail, NOttinghamshire, Eng

He is certainly one Of Natures noble
men" as far as physique can recompens'
the term. being upwards OF six ieet hlgh,
well proportional, and is a genial and
amiable gentleman. Mr.. Clinton is plant
ing extensively in vines, and intends to re-
side on the property.
At a sale Of the personal effects OF Cap
tam Frizzell. at Brook Hill, on "Wednesday
last, a boar and SOW Of the Jersey-lteC
breed brought the sum OF S1Gj. Mr.. 4. ;
Pelham-Clinton was the purchaser, and M
was Immediately offered an advance on th'
price, which he refused. 1t is said that thu
boar, when in condition, will tip the bean
at 1000 pounds. Mr.. Clinton proposes tC
propagate the stock. believing it to be thu
best adapted TO the uses of this section.
1t is getting to be at least an anxious
matter with the farmers, this delay in get
ting in the crops. The land for corn la
not been prepared in a majority OF cases
and the almost incessant rains deter al
effort in this direction. The wheat has ad
vanced rapidly, and is looking well.
The splendid new storehouse recently
erected on Main street by Mr.. j. l.. Wal
tiers has been finished, and is now PARTIAL!
occupied. The front is decorated with thu
Oriole cOlors, and is very gay and attrac
tive. QUIP.
