SATURDAY, March 22, 1873. at twelve o'clock M., at the Merchants and Auctioneers' Exchange. on Royal street. between Canal and Customhouse streets, in his city of New orleans, by virtue of a final order of the honorable the District Court of the United States of America for the District of Louisiana. sitting in bankruptcy, dated the first of March, 1873, will the sold by public auetion the following described property. to witthe CERTAIN SUGAR PLANTAT situated In parish of St. Martin at a place called Isle L'Abue, having about 1100 superficial arpents, fronting on said Isle Abbe and running back with diverging lines, bounded on the west or upper line bv lance lately the property of the auceo rssion of John Martin, and on the south or lower side by lands belonging the Fontenbettes, toge her with all the improvements thereon. Comprising in part as follows: A large, spacious and substantial brick Begar house, with Lowerful engines and sugar mill, machinery, cisterna, coolers, all complete: two Bel8 of kettlee; about dffeen negro cabins, eight built of brick; there are two houses with outbuildings, one of them nearly new. comfortable one story building with attic containing aix rooms. all having fire places built of brick, plastered; the other building is old. but very comfortable; besides stabarns, etc. The fo lowing descr ption of the property is taken from the report of Mr. Fred Durive, who was sent by the assignees in banki ptcy to examined it: In contorinity with your desire that I should visit Magili's plantation. in the parish of Sr. Martin, and examine carefully the condition of that property and report to you the result of my re mearches, I now state that 1 have conscientiously inspected the improvements and find them to be veryextensive and very subs antial. and, although they have been very much neglected, could recover all their efficiency by repairs a great deal less expensive than I would have supposed on reading the report that I found in possession of the bank. All the building+ having primitively been built with uch superior materials that time has produced comparatively very little decav, even 11 the external parts or the buildings- for instance, the roofs can, with very little expense. be made perfectly tight and by repairing and, in some cases, renewing a dezen posts supporting the out galleries of the sugarhouse and stables. which are both readly splendid constructions. these buildings would be secured for a long time gainst any successful degradation The engines and mill ae powerful and complete. Those parts that could have been taken away or affected by exposure have been carefully packed up and are lying in & safe part of the engine room. In a short time an engineer could clean and put the whole in running order. Th sugarhouse is immense and completely built of bricks, and the roof, like th se of al oiber buildi gs, is covered with shingles. The interior of the sugarhouse contains 16 substantia sould coolers (three of which were eut to a neighbor, Mr. Durand). There is a fine car. In very good order, to carry sugar from one end of the sug rhouse to the other end, mounted on a ail-the whole substantial and in good order. The mulasses cist rus are all of bricks and cement, and can accommodate 400 hogsheads of sugar. The eisterne are covered with W seasoned spars. The two sets of titles are well set and in very fine order, and ready for operations. It is through a large and valuable copier pipe that extends from the sugarhouse to the bayou. which :S situated about thirty yards from the engine, that all the wat+ required or the engine and engar is procured. Around the sugarhouse there are six large eisterne. in which all the rain water is gathered. There are 15 negro cabina-8 built of brick and 7 of wood-all requiring some repairs, specially to the roofs. AL a small expense they eas be madeavailable There are two houses on the place, with their outbuildings. One of them is a new. comfortable one-story building, with attic. containing His rooms all with tire-places. I is built of brick. and is we finished. The pla ter has suffered from the roots requiring repairs. A hundred shingles would make it tight. The of her but dung is old. but yet good. The lands are high, and of the very best quality. and are reported all over the country as requiring 1.88 labor than any other and producing more. There is sufficient timber on the place to last fifty years. Such. gentlemen, are the fict# concerning that valuable property, and ! may, without fear of being contradies red by result, say that of all the property offered or sale in the State, there is none offering a better chance of investment.
