35 Negroes for Sale at public auction.

--In pursuance of a decree of the Circuit Court of the county of Henrico, in the suit of Darracott's guardian against Darracott and others, the undersigned will offer for sale, at public auction, to the highest bidder, for cash in current funds, at the late residence of Mr. John Darracott, dec'd, about one mile from the city of Richmond, on the Brook Turnpike, on the 14th day of the present month, (November,) at 11 o'clock, Thirty-five Negroes, belonging to Mr. Darracott's estate. Many of these slaves are young and very likely. Some of them are house servants, and five of them (two women and three men) are, I am informed, good cooks, and being sold for no fault, persons desirous of procuring servants for their own use will have a rare opportunity of doing so.

Benj. Pollard, Com't.
