This estate indicates any thing else than an apprehension of approaching ruin.

It presents the appearance, far more, of a _resurrection_, from the grave.
In addition to his improved sugar and boiling establishment, he has projected a plan for a new village, (as the collection of negro houses is called,) and has already selected the ground and begun to build.

The houses are to be larger than those at present in use, they are to be built of stone instead of mud and sticks, and to be neatly roofed.
Instead of being huddled together in a bye place, as has mostly been the case, they are to be built on an elevated site, and ranged at regular intervals around three sides of a large square, in the centre of which a building for a chapel and school house is to be erected.

Each house is to have a garden.

This and similar improvements are now in progress, with the view of adding to the comforts of the laborers, and attaching them to the estate.
