Wash mn cultivated, and of which he was po: at the time of his death, not only of what is commonly ¢alled Mount Vernon, but of three other farms, pamed the Mount Zephyr, the Union, and the Laurel Spring farms. The two former a pel- lations were ee them by General Wash- ington himself The Laurel Spring farm, we ashington. These farms lie immediately adjoining to Mount Vernon, and once formed part of the same tract. General Washington employed himself in cultivating them with great care, taking, as is well known, great pleasure in directing and watching the pro- cees of agriculture, and in the introduction of agricultural improvements. These farms, it will be perceived on refer- ring to an advertisement in this sheet, signed by Mr. Aaron Leggett, who bas become their proprietor, are now offered for exle. They are said to be excellent Virginia land, the soil needing only euch cultivation i the earth in this neighborhood to m ductive. The description of them given in Te | the advertisement will interest the reader On the estate of Genoral Washington four undred slaves were employed during his life- time. On the Mount Vernon farm, which con- sists of about thirteen hundred acres, a few are still kept, but on that part of the estate which comprises the three farms of Mr Leg- get, comprising between sixteen and seven- teen huadred sores, about twenty white per- sons are at present employed as laborers un- der the direction of a farmer from Westches- ter county. A considerable portion of the land has reverted to its original condition of forest, but five hundred acres have been cleared and northern civilization introduced, we are informed, with very great success insomuch as the Mount Vernon farm is not or sale, and the rest of General Washington's isin the market, the scheme of pur- iG some part of it, to form a public ground, to keep forever open in memory of its former illustrious r, is weil worth con- ideration.—NV.

Cnavssure —The French have a term for the dressing of the foot including shoe, stcek- ing, boot, bootee-gaiter, slipper, or whatever name is applied to the covering of the al extremity.

A man well gloved and well booted may even carry off a seedy suit of clothes; but with Women it is essential they should pay partic- ular attention to the hands andieet.

The habit uf raising the toe is horrid. To see a well dressed lady, as we often have, proach on the sidewalk showing the sole of her boot at each step is frightful. The new fashion of heels upon ladies’ shoes will remedy it mea- surably, ag it compels the toe to be pointed downwards. It is well known that the ladies of Paris are indebted to the fact of the irreg- ularity of their pavements compelling them to pick their way upon the points of their toes T, | for the celebrated beauty of their feet, and it is also a fact that two English country youths taken from the same station in life, the one to become a farm laborer, the other a footman, the light shoe of the latter, and the habit of Standing on his toes behind her ladyship's chair, develope the calves and refines the an- Thomas into symmetrical proportions ; he heavy hobuail shoes of Hodge ha ffect of reducing his legs to a perfect cylinder, without shape or comeliness.

Hoo & Co. have lately constructed one of their six- cylinder presses for Lloyd’s Weekly Newspa- per, in London. This is the largest sheet ever yet printed on this style of press, and meas- ures sixty by twenty-eight inches. It is folded into twelve pages. The press was for- | warded last month to its destination, accom- “nap by six workmen to serve as feeders. he goat circulated report that this press s for the London Times is an error. The Times is printed on Applegath’s eight cylinder press, a style somewhat resembling Hoe’s, but with the cylinders standing up- right, and requires, with all the necessary feeding apparatus, &c , far more space than Hoe’s, and twice the number of men. The Times is printed on the eight cylinder press described, at the rate of less than 9,000 im- pressions per hour. while the Tribune, of very nearly the same size, is slowly and carefully printed on a six-cylinder Hoe’s press at a z _ Thi js- | more rapid rate, the 167,000 of the Weekly Avumixicm —This new metal was first - requiring but eighteen hours for each side, a te, the necessary stoppages to wash rollers, \e The Philadelphia Ledger, a smaller sheet, is provided with facilities for the most rapid of two eight-cylinder Hoee presses, to turn sides.
