Trustees' Sale of valuable farm in Henrico, on the Virginia Central Railroad, and on the Meadow Bridge Road, five Miles North of Richmond, and 17 Slaves Thereon.


By virtue of a deed of trust from the late Gorvas Storrs to Edwin Burton, (for whom the undersigned, J. B. Young, has been substituted by a decree of Henrico County Court,) and James Lyons, bearing date on the 11th May, 1829 duly recorded in Henrico County Court, the undersigned trustees, in conformity to the provisions of the said deed of trust, will sell at public auction, to the highest bidder, on the premises, on Monday, the 31st day of December, 1860, at 11 o'clock A. M., (if fair; if not, the first fair day thereafter,) the Real Estate and Slaves conveyed by the said deed, viz: The valuable tract of land located as above, on which the late Gorvas Storrs resided at the time of his death, and which was occupied by Mrs. Martha Storrs at her death, containing 230 acres, more or less; also, 17 valuable Slaves, embracing men, women and children. The said farm is so well known that a minute description is deemed unnecessary. Suffice it to say, that it is, from its location and other qualities, regarded as a valuable estate. A plat and survey will be exhibited at the hour of sale. The Slaves are, for the most part, young and likely.

Terms.--For the real estate, one-fourth cash; balance at 12, 18 and 24 months, for negotiable notes interest added, secured by a trust deed, or title retained. For the Slaves, 4 months credit, for approved, endorsed negotiable paper, interest added
