A gentleman in Virginia offers for sale a very desirable tract of Land lying in the county of Greenbrier, west of the Allegheny mountains. It contains about Twenty-Two Hundred Acres; —seventeen hundred of which are rich alluvial bottom, —not surpassed in fertility by any in the Union. Some three or four hundred acres of the bottom, and about two hundred acres of the upland are open for cultivation. The uncleared portion of bottom land is covered with a forest of SHELL BARK, HICKORY, MAPLE, BUCKEYE, The tract lies immediate ly on the Great Kanawha Turnpike, within a short distance of the celebrated Virginia Springs ; and the central improvement of the State, now in the course of construction, will either pass through or near it. It is confidently believed that salt water may be obtained on it—anil bituminous coal is abundant. The tract might be advantageously divided into four or more parts ; and in the hands of industrious Pennsylvania Farmers and Graziers, would, in a few years, readily command from $3O to r4O per acre. There are few or no slaves in this section of the State, and free labor is readily obtained.

THE uniform success which has attended the use ofthis preparation—its salutary effect—its pow er to relieve and cure affections of the Lung 9, have gained for it a celebrity equalled by no other med icine. We offer it to the nffiicted with entire con fidence in its virtues, and the full belief that it will subdue and'remove the severest attacks of disease upon the throat and Lungs. These results, as they become publicly known, very naturally attract the attention of medical men and philantropists every where. What is their opinion of CHERRY PEC TORAL may be seen in the following: VALENTINE MOTT, M. IV, Prof. Surgery Med. College, New York , says:— ‘• It gives me pleasure to certify the value and efficacy of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, which I consider peculiarly adapted to cure diseases of the Throat and Lungs.” cj THE RT. REV. LORD BISHOP FIELD writes in a letter to his Iriend, who was fa-*t sinking under an affection of the Lungs : —“ Try the Cher ry Pectoral, and it any medicine can give you relief, with the blessing of God that will.” C IEF JUSTICE EUSTIS, of Louisiana, writes That a young daughter of his was cured of several severe attacks of Croup by the Cherry Pectoral.” Hartford, Jan. 26, 1848. Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear Sir: —Having been rescued from a painful and dangerous disease by your med icine, gratitude prompts me to send vou this ac knowledgment, not fmly iii justice to you, but for the information of others in like afil.ction. A slight cold upon the lungs, neg ecied at first, became »o severe that spilling of blood, a violent cough an I profuse night sweats followed and fas tened upon me. I became emaciated, could not sleep, was distressed by my cough, and a pain tnrough my chest, and in short had all the alarming symptoms ol quick ernsumption. No medicine seemed atall to reach my case, until I providentially tried your Cherry Pectoral, which soon relieved .and now has cured me. Yours with respect, K. A. •‘TEWART. Albany, N. Y..

At first it seemed to make me worse, but in less than a week I began to experience the most gra i fying relief from its use ; and now, in four weeks, the disease is entirely removed. I can sleyp on my bed with comfort, and enjoy a stale of health which I never expected to enjoy. _ GEORG-K S. FARRANT. PREPARED BY J. C. CHEMIST, LOWELL, MASS Sold by JuliN F. Long, C. A.
