We propose to condense some facts learno^in a few
mouths residence in Western Virginia for the infor
mation of numerous correspondents who hare not sceu
the first few numbers of tlic Crcsccnt, or who may
obtain such additional knowledge as they wish by n
geStTral statement of items, in brief terms.
The climate is all, we think, that has ever been
claimed for it. The old residents here say that the
two lust winters have been very severe. Those who
live &t the North .can readily believe this. Before
lSOS-.jti, t!.«. winter* were generally ep«ii,„warin, uiore
rain than show, but then it v.as very pleasant. The
cultivators of the land bc^iu in February and March
to flow and plant. We have had no winter here yet
this season. One fall of suow of two inches, dis&p
! cared next day, aud we have had none since. The
ground has UselV frozen but very little, and water in
the crooks has froxin over but once. The
line weather we have, never fails to draw some ex
pression of favor from persons used to the climate ot
New Kngland. . •

the kind could be named. "Jhe.warm seasons are long,
tbe hills full 01 spring* ef Itod water, and beautiful
locations for building dwellings, abundant in every

want of roads, but that it'a light one in our view, and
will banothing four years from now.
For cultivating fruit nnd garden vegetables both,
purl hill land mid pome bottom land, making tlio
whole conic quite cheap, would be a good investment.
The bottoms are very rich aud usually high priced; a
man unwilling to pay $:.0 to S5® per acre for bottom
land, could buy one-third bottom lanil and the balance
in the hill*, and get it cheap, and realize immediate
returns from his investment.
