TRUSTEES' SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE, SLAVES, &c. -- By virtue of two deeds of trust, executed to us by Samuel Tansill and wife, and of record in the Clerk's office, of the County Court of Prince William, we shall, on Thursday, the 15th day of October next, in the town of Occoquan, expose to sale to the highest bidder, at public auction, the tract of land mentioned in said deeds, containing about 420 acres, being the same land upon which said Tansill resided, at the time of his death. This tract of land lies about three miles from the town of Occoquan, on the main road leading from Centreville to Occoquan, and about ninteen miles from Alexandria, is in a fine state of cultivation, being considerably improved, well watered, and is considered one of the handsomest and most healthy situations in the neighborhood.

There is a well of excellent water in the yard.
Terms: one third of the purchase money to be paid in cash, the balance equally divided into two payments of six and twelve months--the purchaser giving bond with approved personal security, to bear interest from the date--also, a deed of trust on the land. ALSO, at the same time and place, several valuable SLAVES. Terms made known on the day of sale. Selling as trustees, we shall convey such title only to said land as is vested in us by virtue of said deeds, but at the same time the title is believed to be indisputable.
