IS NOW PREPARED TO SELL ABOUT x,500,000 ACRES OF CHOICE nmm LANDS In Tracts of 40 acres and Lpw a rds, on Long Credits and at Low Rates of Interest. rpHESE lands were granted by the Govern- JL ment to aid in the construction of this road, and are among the richest and most fertile in the world. They extend from North East and North West, through the middle of the State, to the extreme South, and include every variety of climate and productions found between those parallels of latitude. The Northern portion is chiefly prairie, interspersed with fine groves, and in the middle and Southern sections timber predominates, alternating with beautiful prai ries and openings. The climate is more healthy, mild and equa ble, than any other part of the country—the air is pure and bracing, while living streams and springs of excellent water abourd. Bituminous Coal is extensively mined, and supplies a cheap and desirable fuel, being fur nished at many points at $2 to §4 per ton—and wood can be had at the same rate per cord. Building Stone of an excellent quality also abounds, which can be procured for little more than the expense of transportation. The great fertility of these lands, which are a black rich mould from two to five feet deep, and gently rolling—their contiguity to this road, by which every facility is furnislted for travel and transportation, to the principal markets North, South, East, West, and the economy with which they can be cultivated, render them the most valuable investment that can be found, and present the most favorable opportunity for persons of industrious habits and small means to acquire a comfortable independence in a few years. Chicago is now the greatest grain market in the world, and the facility and economy with which the products of these" lands can be'trans ported to that market make them much more profitable, at the prices asked, than those more remote at government rates, as the cost of transportation is a perpetual tax on the latter, i which must be borne by the producer in there- ! duced price he receives for his grain, &c. The Title is Perfect, and when the final pay ments are made, Deeds are executed by the I Trustees appointed by the State, and in whom the title is vested, to the purchasers, which con vey to thern absolute titles in Fee Simple, free i and clear of every incumbrance, lien or mort gage- The Prires are from $G to S3O; Interest on ly 3 per eent. Ticenly per cent, trill be deducted from the credit price for Cash. Those who purchase on long credit give notes i payable in 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 years alter date, and j are required to improve one-tenth annually for ! five years, so as to have one-half the land under j cultivation at the end of that time. Competent Surveyors wijl accompany those who wish to '< examine these lands, free of charge, and aid them in making selections. The lands remain- ' ing unsold are as rich and valuable as those ' which have been disposed of. SECTIONAL MAPS will be sent to any one who will enclose fifty cents in Postage Stamps, and Books or Pamphlets containing numerous instances of successful farming, signed by re spectable and well known farmers living in the neighborhood of the Railroad Lands throughout the Slate—also the cost of fencing, price of cattle, expense of harvesting, threshing, Ac.— or any other information, will be cheerfully given on application, either personally or by letter, in English, French, or German, address ed to JOHN' WILSON, Land Commissioner Illinois Central R.

An Orphans' Court Sale is also advertised. Pennsylvania Legislature. The bill appropriating $3,000,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the main line t the Sunbury and Erie R. R. Co., was reconsidered in the House and passed—49 yeas to 43 nays —Mr. Purcell voting nay. The amendments to the Constitution have passed bath houses, and will now be submit ted to a vete of the people. The bill passed by both Houses for the re lease of General Small, was signed by the Governor at neon on the sth, and the Sheriff of Philadelphia telegraphed to for the pur pose of having him released at once. The bill for the sale of the Main Line has been reported to the Senate with amendments. The principal amendment is that instead of putting off the first payment of the principal of the purchase money to the remote period 'of 1890, as was provided by the bill as it passed the House, the Senate bill requires that one hundred thousand dollars of the bonds given by tho purchasers shall fall due on the 31st of July, 1858, and one hundred thousand thbreuf annually thereafter, until the 31st of July, 1890, when one million of the residue shall fall due, and one million of annually thereafter until tho whole is paid. Trial oj McA.hu at llollidayxbury. —The trial of McKiui, at llollidaysLurg, fer the murder of Samuel T. Norcross, is progressing. Though the testimony is circumstantial, it seems to fasten guilt upon the accused in a very strong manner. McKim was seen to leave the ears with Norcross at Altoona, and was afterwards taken upon a sled by a coun tryman and carried a good distance at his own request. The stories he told to different persons about Xoreros3 are proved to have been false, especially those in reference to his means, and to his being subject to fits of in sanity. It is proved that when Norcross dis posed of his interest in lots of ground in Du buque, that McKim was present and rec ommended him to take money instead of a draft on a house in New York. It was after this that McKim said Norcross had not mon ey euough to carry him through and that he was going to make up the balanco. McKim's flight after the murder, his being in the pos session of a large sum of money correspond ing with that possessed by the murdered man, , and many tther circumstances, all point too strongly towards his guilt to permit a doubt of his being the murderer. Jlailroad lliots. —The employees on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have struck, in consequence of a circular issued from tho offico of the Master of Transportation, to the effect that thereafter, each and every car con taining merchandise to be transported over the road, should -be delivered into the charge of the conductors sealed, and a receipt taken for the same. The issuing of this order arose from the fact that for a long time the compa ny has been required to pay claims for goods lost in transportation, and this plan has been in successful operation on the New York Cen tral Railroad, and also upon a number of Wes trn roads. Attacks were made on the trains leaving Baltimore and Martiusburg on Wed nesday. The trains subsequently sent out met with various obstructions, and fire arms were used by Loth the military and rioters, resulting in the death of a few pcrson.s and wounding others. BALTIMORE, May 3.—The Riot on the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad still contiuues.— Last evening the freight trains were sent out with a military guard, three companies of volunteers having been ordered out by the Governor. At Jackson's Bridge the trains were fired at by the rioters, and the military returned the tire briskly. One of the rioters was shot dead, and others probably wounded. The train then passed on. WASHINGTON", May 3—lo o'clock A. M.— No train bas arrived from Baltimore this morning, though long since due here. It is apprehended that the train has been thrown from the track or obstructed by the rioters, on the road beyond the Relay House. BALTIMORE, May 3, Evening.—The riot continues without abatement, and creates much excitement throughout the city. This morning, the train on which the military guard that accompanied the trains started out last evening were returning to the city, was thrown from the track by the rioters, and several cars demolished. Two of the soldiers were injured, one having his leg bro ken. Two military companies were sent out to the Relay Houso this afternoon, to protect the freight trains coming in. They have not yet reached the city, and no tidings have been received from them. No further riots have taken place, and the trains now run regularly. Petersburg dam is reported to have been swept away, and the Williamsburg con siderably injured. A horse and two mules are said to have floated past this place during the late flood supposed to have been a boat team. LOCAL AFFAIRS. BgUSharpley's Terpsichorean Minstrels gave several concerts in the Town Hall since our last, hut in consequence of the unpleas- j ant weather failed to draw remunerative bou- > Bes. Mr. S. is an excellent performer, and withal a gentleman, which is much more than can he said of many who travel about as j "minstrels," and are puffed in the papers as ; "ten-penny" concerns. SCHOOL BOARD. —The Board of School Di- j rectors is at present constituted as follows: President, John Hamilton; Secretary, Jo seph Alexander; Treasurer, David Bloom; James McDowell, George Blymyer, and An drew Reed. The balance in the hands of the Treasurer at last week's settlement was $264 34. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT. —The unpleasant weather on Mouday or indifference prevented a large number of directors from attending on the day specified for electing a county su" perintendent—hut 28 out of between 70 and 80, having been present. A. D. Ilawn, A. 8., Principal of the Mattawana School, McYev town, was chosen by a large majority of those in attendance, and the salary raised to S6OO per annum. Mr. Ilawn is undoubtedly capa ble of filling the office, and if—as we are told he intends —he resigns his present situation and devotes his sole attention to the subject, it is possible a reaction of public opinion may take place as to the usefulness of the office, for there is no disguising that at present three fourths of the taxpayers look upon it as to tally useless. At all events we hope a fair field will he given him by the opponents of the office, so that whatever of good is in it may be drawn forth.
