VOL. LVII. THE COTTAGE DOOR flow sweet the rest that labor yields, The humble and the poor, • Where sits the patriarch of the fields Before his cottage door ! The lark is singing in the sky, The swallow in the eaves, And love is beaming in each eye Beneath the summer leaves ! The air amid his fragrant bowers Supplies unpurchased health, And hearts arc bounding 'mid the flowers, More dear to him than wealth ! Peace, like the blessed sunlight, plays Around his humble cot. And happy nights and cheerful days Divide his lowly cot. And when the village Sabbath bell Rings out upon the gale, The father bows his head to tell The music of its tale ; A fresher verdure seems to fill The fair and dewy sod, And every infant tongue is still To hear the word of God Oh, happy hearts'—to Him who stills The ravens when they cry, And makes the lily 'neath the hills 6c, glorious to the eye— The trusting patriarch prays, to bless His labors with increase ; Such , !ways are ways of pleasantness," And all such paths are peace !" COLD WINTERS The Evening Bulletin has the following in regard to the cold winters for the last 60 years : 1797. From the year 1790 until 1797 the thermometer had not reached zero,dm ting the month of January, in Philadel phia. In January 1797, the mercury on two mornings was 5 degrees below zero at the permanent Bridge. On the 9th it got down to 13 degrees below, and upon the two subsequent mornings, it was 10 below zero. Horses with sleighs attached, were driven upon the ice on ,the Dela ware from Trenton to Philadelphia. 1799. This.year the Delaware was clos ed by ice fronalthe 22d January until past the middle of March. 1800. This winter, which lost but little of its severity before the 20th March was remarkable for the extent of its snows, which fell as far South as New Orleans. 1805. In Philadelphia the Mercury did not sink lower than 5 deg. above zero, but at Albany Syracuse and Buffalo, the mercury was from 15 to 20 deg. below ze ro. 1810. , Though not a severe January in America, the cold was during this month intense in Europe. AC Moscow the mer cury sunk 40 deg. below zero and froze. 1815. On one morning the mercury was 7 below zero ; on another 5, and on two others, 3. This winter was remarka ble for the horrible condition of the roads and for great suffering among the poor. 1821. This was the coldest January since 1780, in the U. S. On nine morn ings at sunrise the mercury was below ze ro in Philadelphia. On two mornings it was 10-below zero. At Brunswick, Me., the mercury became stiff in the bulk. 1828. The January of this year was remarkably mild, the Delaware being throughout entirely free from ice and not a flake of snow being seen through the month. On several days the mercury ran up to 70 in the shade, while early shrub bery and trees put forth their buds. 1832. On three mornings the mercury was from 4 to 6 below zero. 1835. On several mornings the mercury in Philadelphia was from 2 to 4—deg. be low zero. At Albany on the 6tli Jan. it stood at 23 below. 1836. During a snow storm on the 9th and 10th Jan, nearly 3 feet of snow fell., At one time there was good sleighing from the Ohio river to the Bay of Fundy., 1843. A remarkably mild and pleasant month in Philadelphia, though intensly stormy and cold even in its vicinity, and particularly towatds the north. At Mon treal and Quebec the mercury sunk 36 below zero. 1845. " But very few instances occur red" "in which the mercury sunk below the freezing point." 1852. On the 20th of Jan. 1652, the ~.mercury sunk to 211 degrees below zero. It has not gone down to zero since, in Jan uary, until the last month. PRACTICAL PRAYER.—In the vicinity of B— lived a poor and industrious man, depending for support upon his daily labor. His wife fell sick, and not being 'ablAL to hire a nurse, he was obliged to confine himself to the sick bed and 'family. His means of support being cut off, he soon found himself in need. Havi i rtg a weality neighbor near, he determined to go and ask for two bushels of wheat, with a promise to pay as soon as his wife became so much better that he could leave her and return to his work. Accordingly he took his bag, went to his neighbor's and arrived while the family were at morning prayers. As he sat on the door-stone he heard the man pray very earnestly that God would clothe the naked, feed the hungry, relieve the needy, and comfort all that mourn. The prayer concluded, he step ped in and made known his business, prom ising to pay with thetavails of his first la bor. The farmer was very sorry he could not accommodate him, but he had promised to lend a large sum of money, and he pre sumed neighbor would let his; have it. With a tearful eye and a sad heart, the poor man turned away. As soon 'as he left the house the farmer's little son step ped up and said— " Father, did you not pray that God would clothe the naked, feed the hungry, relieve the distressed, and comfort mourn 'Ore?" " Yes ; why "Because, father, if I had your wheat I would answer that prayer:4' It is ntedless to add that the Christian father called back his suffering neighbor, and gave him as much as he needed. Now, Christian readers, do you answer your own prayers?—.N. Y. Evangelist. • A WHIMSICAL ILLUSTRATION OF CHAR ACTER.--'4t is asserted that t4e inhabitants of Innisdea, (Scotland,) are gone to liti gation ; and a curious legend of a lawsuit is told, upon the main illustrative of this quarrelsome disposition. A century ago two persons were remark able here for their superior opulence, and had become the envy and wonder of their their poorer neighbors. Their wealth con sisted of a flock of sheep, when, unfortu nately, some trifling dispute occurring between them, a dissolution.of partnership was resolved upon. To divide the flock, one would suppose, wa's not difficult, and they proceeded to partition them accord ingly. They possessed one hundred and one sheep; fifty fell to each proprietor, but the odd one, how was it to be disposed of ? Neither would part with his moiety to the other, and after a long and angry negoti ation, the sheep was left in common prop erty between them. Although the season for shearing had not come round when sheep are usually shorn, one of the proprietors requiring wool for a pair of stockings, pro posed the fleece should be taken off. This was resisted by his copartner, and the point was finally settled by shearing one side of the animal. Only a few days after the sheep was found dead in a deep ditch; one party as cribed it to the cold feelings of the animal having urged him to take shelter in the fa tal trench ; while the other contended, that the wool remaining upon one side had caused the weather to lose its equilibrium, and that thus the melancholy catastrophe was occasioned. The parties went to law directly, and the expense of the suit actu ally devoured the produce of the entire stock, and reduced both to a state of beg gary. Their descendants are pointed out to this day as being the poorest of the community, and litigants are frequently warned to avoid the fate of 46 .11a11ey and THE END OF TIME BY TAMAR ANNA KERMODE We ara passing on, slowly but surely on, to our graves. Each day brings us nearer to that unseen world, that strange country, into which so many enter, to dwell in happiness or misery forever. We meet with no returning travellers who can relate to us their experience : they pass on never to return. We follow our friends with straining eyes, as one by one they pass the sea of life, and drawing near to the shadowy land of eternity, vanish from our sight. Then the warning speaks deeply to our unwilling hearts. Perchaßee we have seen a loved one ta ken from our family circle. We have seen the light fade from eyes that never beamed on us but with tenderness and affection.— We have seen the cheek, so bright whh health and beauty, grow pale and wan.— We have listened to the dear voice, and marked how each day it grew more faltering, till it was hushed in the silence of death : then we have drawn the hair from the pale, cold brow, and seen the delicate form deposited in the silent tomb. It is in moments like these that we fully realize our actual condition—that we our selves are slowly, yet surely, travelling towards our graves. How many there are who seldom give any consideration to this serious subject. They are too busy, too anxious after world ly wealth and power, putting forth all their talents and energy for the one grand ob ject in view, the possession of gold ; pass ing with a careless glance and unfeeling heart, the poor- in their desolation and misery; guarding with miserly care. their dollars, and dimes ; unconsciously sowing that others may reap, for the time set apart in the future for rest and enjoyment perhaps never comes. Ere that time, their souls may be called away, and an account demanded of the misused talents entrusted to their care. Oh, human nature ! what strange phases you present to an observing eye. The gay, the sorrowful, the talented, the ob scure, the impenitent, the believer, the rich and the poor' yet all passing along to the unknown world. Mat are riches, talent, wealth, power or fame, placed in the balance with eterni ty ? Mere baubles that do not, or rather ought not, satisfy the cravings of the heart. Days, weeks, months and years follow eaoh other in succession 3 but we should consid er' how shall we appear when the earth shall pass away as a scroll, and the Angel of God shall declare, "Time was, but is no longer." 141 - mizs OF WOLVES IN lOWA—Two PER SONS DEVOURED.—Owing to the extreme cold weather for some time past, the wolves in Pot- Mwottomie county have become dangerous neighbors. Poultry yards and sheep folds have been robbed to a frightful extent, and in several instances the hungry beasts have not been inclined to spare the human species.— About three weeks ago a man was returning from a prayer-meeting, accompanied by his two daughters, one sixteen and the other twenty-three years of age. They were all riding the same horse, when suddenly a pack of timber wolves assailed them, and being un able to escape by flight, they attempted to defend themselves. But the ferocious brutes attacked the horse rendering him unmanage able-. The oldest daughter was partly thrown and partly dragged to the ground, and instant ly devoured. This enabled the father and the other daughter to escape. Several neigh bors were soon mustered, but upon repairing to the spot nothing was found but one shoe, and a very few remnants of the unfortunate girl's clothing. A boy about thirteen years old left his father's house to get water at a spring, which was about half a mile' distant, since which time nothing has been seen of him. The pail was found near the spring, also some marks of blood and a lock or two of hair.— Several persons have been chased by these savage monsters.—Keokuk Post, Jan. 11th. PURR AND FLOUR AT TEE WEST.—A letter from Cincinnati, under date of the 7th inst., says;—The "Hog Crop" is not yet 'all in.-- Hogs commencing this season at the unprece dented price of $7 per hundred, have declined to $5,16, at which sales,were this day. Eas tern buyers appear in the market early, and the principal part of the pork was packed or purchased by them. No very large amounts have been held by parties here, though many tried the marllts east by shipments. There has been great delay in the move ments of freight forwarded by railroad, so that pork shipped hence let of December is hardly in New York by this time; and meantime the decline in that market has been $6 thus far. No doubt is entertained now that the crop will be large. Your readers who do not look at prices current, will he pleased to know that flour is sold here at $7 per barrel, and plenty at that. A LOVELY QUEEN.—A correspondent of the Now York Journal of Commerce, writing from Athens, (Greece,) October 31, thus describes .the Queen : "I saw Queen Amelia taking an afternoon ride on horseback, accompanied by one of her maids of honor, a daughter of Marco Bozzaris. She seemed in excellent humor, and I am told is constantly laughing from mere exube rance of spirits. She is very fat and large, and has a foot like a juvenile elephant, which, when it strikes the sod, is death to all creep ing insects. Judging from her 'physique,' if I had a job of. house-cleaning to be done, I do not know of any one so capable of per forming it efficiently as the consort of King Otho. COLD WEATHER IN TEXAB.—The weather has been unusually and exceedingly cold in Texas, with much snow. The Brazos river was frozen over at Iraco last week, and teams crossed on the ice.

The reign of Philip the Second, embracing the last half of the sixteenth century, is one of the most important as well as interesting portions of our modern history. It is necessary to glance only at some of the principal events.— The War of the Netherlands—the model, so to soy, of our own glorious war of the Revolution; the siege of Malta, and its memorable defense by the Knights of St. John; the brilliant career of Don John of Austria, the hero of Lepan to; the Quixotic adventures of Don Sebastian of Portugal; the conqnest of that by the Duke of Alba; Philip's union with Mary of England, and his wars with Elizabeth, with the story of the Invincible Armada; the Inquisition, with its train of woes; the rebellion of the Moriscoe, and the cruel manner in which it was avenged—these form some of the prominent topics in the foreground of the picture, which presents a crowd of subordinate details of great interest in regard to the character and court of Philip sad the institu tions of Spain—then in the. palmy days of her prosperity. The materials for this vast theme were to be gathered from every part of Europe; and the author has for many years been collecting them from the archives of different capitals. The archives of Simaticas, in particular, until very lately closed against even the native historian, has been opened to his researches; and his collections has been far ther enriched by MSS. from some of the principal houses in Spain, the descendants of the great men of the sixteenth century.

This has rendered necessary the changing the time of terminating the fiscal yeas as well as the prison year, which was accordingly done by a resolution of the Board, adopted the sth day of March, 185.5, fixing the time of closing the year on the 30th day of November, instead of the 31st day of December, as heretofore. The Tables and Statements accompanying this Report therefore embraces a period of but eleven months, com mencing on the Ist of January, and ending on the 30th of November, 105.5. On the 91st December, '&4, there were in confinement, 85 Prisoners ; in the course of 11 months there was received, 549 Making the aggregate of the inmates of the Prison,'s3, 634 Of these the following were discharged daring the year By expiration of sentence, 311 Magistrates, District Attorney, Court and Ha= bees Corpus, Leaving in confinement, November 30,1955, 104 Of these (104) 53 are convicts, 4 committed for fine and costa, 6 awaiting trial, and 41 vagrants. Of the 549 received during the year, 05 were convicted. Much interesting information relating to the Prison, daring the period embraced in this Report, is furnished in detail by the Tables he eto annexed. The number committed to the Prison daring the elev en months,excepting the 65 sentenced, was 464—0 f which 238 were for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and 35 for vagrancy, as per Table No. 1. In addition to the 484 there were sentenced during the name period 65, and remaining in Prison on the 31st of December, 1854, 95—making the above total in Prison, during the 11 months of 1055, 634, as per Table No. 2. Table No. 3 shows how the 530 -discharged prisoners were disposed of-3 being sent to the House of Refuge, 2 to the Lancaster county Hospital, 1 to the Insane Asy lum at llarrisbarg, and 2 hung themselves, none having been pardoned by the Governor. Table No. 4 will show the various charges upon which the 65 convicts were sentenced; there were 39 fur Larce ny, against 37 the previous year, Hie residue were for offences of no great atrocity. This Table exhibits the gratifying facts not only of a proportional decrease of convictions during the period but also of a lower grade of crime than those of the previous year.

Table No. 7, their ages. showing 95 of the 65 to have been under the age of 30 years. Table No 8, how often they have been convicted. Table No. 9, shows the occupations of the convicts prior to their convlctien-35 of the 63 having had no trades. Table No. 10, shows the number that can read and write,-23 of the 65 could not rend and 80 could not write; a somewhat larger proportion than the previous year Table No. 11, shows how many are unmarried-40 of the 65 being unmarried. Table No. 12, shows the occupation while in con finement Table No. 13, the number of Medical cases treated. Table No. H. shows the habits of the convicts-37 of the. 65 being of mtemperale habits, and 12 moderato drinkers. It appears, by table No. 15, that the whole !umber of prisoners received since the opening of the prison, Sept. 12114 1851, to the 30th of Nov., 1856, is 1 0 40; 1613 white males, 185 white females, 207 colored males and 35 col. ored females. The health of the prisoners, considering the large proportion who were of Intemperate habits, has been unusually good. The number of cases treated was 106, being in the ratio of 100 cases treated to every 698 pris oners, the ratio of the previous year 100 cases treate 1 to every 628 prisoners, thus exhibiting a decided improve ment in the health of the prisoners. Only 1 prisoner died during the 11 months. There were no cases of in. sanity developed during that period. For details on this subject, see Table No. 14. There were committed during the past 11 months, 35 persons for vagrancy, and 238 for drunkenness and dis orderly conduct; an increase of vagrancy of 6, and of drunkenness and disorderly conduct of 20. This in crease is no greater, proportionably, than the Increase o, the whole number of inmates of the prison. The undersigned deem it unnecessary to say more than to reiterate the opinion, expressed in the previous Annual Reports of their predecessors, in reference to the superiority of the system of separate and solitary con finement at labor. But to realize the full benefits of that system, it is indispensable that the accommodations of the prison should be ample. That this is not the case at present is apparent from the fact that, on the 30th of November last, there was 104 inmates and bat 80 cells in the prison for their accommodation, which renders the placing of the prisoners together, in many of the cells unavoidable, thus frustrating the design and losing the beneficial fruits of the system. To remedy this inconvenience and make it practicable to carry out the system fully and effectually, the erec tion of another wing will be required. the expediency of which is recommended by the Board. The accompanying statements marked by the letters of the Alphabet, relate to the Financial affairs and Manufacturing operations of the Prison, during the 11 months ending November 30th, last, and contain much interesting iutormation touching these subjects. Statement A. shows that the orders issued by the In spectors on the Treasurer of the Lancaster county Pris on, from January Ist, 1850, to November 30th, 1865, both days inclusive, amounted to $19,083 66 From which deduct extraordinary expenses, to Wit: Alterations and Repairs Building Account, $19,390 79 • As the above amount was expended during the year for raw materials, manufacturing, maintenance of prisoners, officers' salaries, cur rent expenses, &c., it becomes ne cessary in order to ascertain the actual cost to the county, to de duct the following cash received, and assets of the manufacturing department, to wit: Casts recoty ed by the Keeper for goods sold, and by him paid to the Treasurer of Lancaster co. prison, $ 9 ,697 05 Manufficed goods on Land, 4,837 40 Raw materials, 1,934 62 Due Prison for goods soli , 3,620 94 $20,090 01 Less the following items, to wit: Due by Prison for raw ma- • terials, .$4,201 37 51antsfact'41 goods ou band, 2,918 63 Raw materials on hand, 1,989 68 9.109 64 10,980 3'7 Actual cost of the Prison for.ll months By reference to Statement 0. it will be seen that the number of prisoners maintained the last year wan 30,698 days, 10,679 days of which at 17 cents a day, and 20,019 days at 20 cents a day, amounted to $5,619 23-100 whereas the number maintained the previous year was but 27,341 days at 17 cents a day, amounted to but $4,- 606 09—being anincreaso in maintenance the past eleven months, over the preceding year of $1,213 14. The continuing enhancement In the prices , of bread stuffs and provisions during the last spring, imperative ly required a further increase of 3 cents a day to the Keeper for boarding prisoners. The Increase was al lowed „from the ed of Slay last. This advance wee made with a distinct understanding and agreement with the Keeper to submit to a reduction, as soon as the re duced price of the articles required for food would justify it, which has not yet taken place, as it is not intended that he shall make any profit by boarding the prisoners, but that he should be simply compeosated for the out lay actually made by him for that purpose. The aver age coat of the prison to the county during the eleven months embraced la this Report, per month, was 672 43-100 dollars. That of the preceding year 611 51-100 dollars—n-10c¢ considering the advance for maintenance and the average increase an the number of Inmates is favorable to the economy of the management and the profitableness of the manufacturing of the prison. Statements U. V. W. show the progress made in man ufacturing in the prison during the period. It appears by these statement. that there were made 32,5473. g yards of Carpet, against 26,177 yards the preceding year; 6.92734 yards of Bagging; 209 dozen 'Bags; 262 pair of Boots and Shoes; 510,452 Seger.; 1,079 lbs. Goats Hair spun; 156 Fish Beta; 40 Willow Bask e ti , ( t hi s is a nnw branch of manufacture introduced into the prison,) and other work, as per Statement W. These statements show an increase of $1237 63 in the manufacturing operations of the prison, for the 11 months, over those of the preceding year. Another feature of this department of the prison worthy of notice, to that it affords a market to a number of persons for the gale of carpet rags, By statement C. it appears that 22374 fbs. of carpet rags were purchased at the prison, for which the sum of $1532 49 was paid. The Board still adhere to the policy of promoting the reformation of the convict, by keeping him constantly employed, and thusbegetting In him habits of industry and regularity, in furtherance of which they permit no convict to beldle, although the labor he may be capable of performing, may not be a source of much profit o the prison. As its products (which will compare favorably in quality with any in the market) are sold at barely re muuerating prices, thus affording such articles at a comparatively low rate to purchasers, who are chiefly composed of the tax.payers, and in this way compensate them in a measure, by the low price at which they are here able to purchase the articles, for the burden which ultimatelyreste on them of supporting the prison. Since the last Annual Report, the Board have erected a convenient and commodious Warehouse In the prison yard adjoining the office. This was required by the no cessitiee of the filen sed business of buying and selling of the various articles demanded and produced by the manufacturing department of the prison, and especially for storing the fabrics made and exposing them to public inspection. The building has just been finished, and all the manufactured articles have been deposited' and ar ranged therein, with a view to public examination and sale. This has relieved other portions of the prison from being encumbered with those articles, and permits these portions to be used for the purposes for which they were originally intended. By reference to statement Z, exhibiting the gain and loss of the manafactnring department, it appears that the profits of the labor of the prisoners, for the 11 months, was $3065,32, and by statement A. It appears that the maintenance department, for 11 months, cost $ 6,865 04 And current expenses, 6.c., 3,610 60 Total, 10,476 73 From which deduct the above profitA, 3,003 32 A@Mal cost of the prison for II months, $7,410 41 Tha Board take this occasion to bear testimony to the ab lity and fidelity with which Henry C. Locher, Esq., Keeper, and all the officers connected with the prison, have discharged their respective duties. All of which to respectfully submitted. Signed, JOSEPH BALLANCE, Pree't. HUGH S.

Pennsylvania Land. Twenty-seven thousand acres of good land have deep purchased, with the inten tion of giving a Farm of twenty-five Acres for each share, payable by instalments of one dollar,a week. It Is located in the county of Elk, where a junction will soon be formed by four railroads, immediately connecting it, with its great agricultural and coal reosurces, with Erie, Dunkirk, Buffalo, Rochester and all the cities on tha Lakes. Also a road leading directly to N. York, one directly from this property to Philadelphia and intermediate places, one directly from this.property to Pittsburg, and one directly from this property connecting with the Western roads, forming the grandest concentration of railroads upon any one spot in Pennsylvania. tending at once to develop its immense agricultural and coal resources. The soil fs not surpassed in richness by ani in the State. It is divi ded— I.—lnto farms or shares of twenty-five Aerer, at the price of two-hundred dollars, which Is payable in Instal ments of one dollar per week. I.l.—lnto farms or half shares of twelve and a half acres, at the price of ,SlOO payable, In instalments of two dollars a month or by the week. Besides this, there is a valuable saw mill upon the prop erty. and one hundred and fifty lots in the thriving town of St. Mary's, which the subscribers get. This originally formed part of a large tract, a great por tion of which was settled by industrious and educated Germans, numbering some twenty-five hundred. They se lected the land on account of its agricultural and mineral wealth, which alone is an indisputable evidence of the facts, as they are well known to be superior judges upon these subjects. They went there some twelve years ago, and they now have a thriving and beautiful settlement, which is laid off in regular rotations of fine farms. St. Mary's is the town of the settlement. and is rapldlYln creasing in population. It has hotels as good as any in the state—tine stores—a college, where the highest branch es of education are taught, both literary and musical—saw mills. grist mills. coach manufactories, and every thing conceivable to add wealth and prosperity to the place.— The land of the company surrounds this town, and all the improvements, thereby reaping the benefits, and present ing a splendid opportunity for settlement. Limestone abounds. This is both an evidence of the quality of the soil and a great fertilizer. At St. Mary's it cells at from ten to twelve cents a bushel, burnt. $379 63 313 25 692 SS The timber is of great value, and consists of Cherry, Ash, Chesnut, Pine, Oak and Hemlock, all of primeval growth, of great size, and towering front eighty to a hundred and twenty feet high. That which the stockholders do not want will be sold to the timber merchants, with conditions to cut it in a certain time. This will clear the lend. and bring ,a large revenue into the treasury, which will go to the reduction of the price of the farms. This explains its agricultural resources. lint there is another consideration of equal, If not greater, importance. The land is one great bed of coal. Upon this property it is literally inexhaustible. By taking a glance at the latest map, first at this locality, and then over the State. it *fir , be found to possess the grandest feature of prosperity, Ito. proveutent. and almost immediate development. it le im perior to any other. It is the only place having the great coneentratiou of railroads, by coltish Nest York, time Lakes, Philadelphia and Pittsburg are at its doors. There is no coal in New lurk, and on account of its nurthernly situa. lion, it possesses the'advantages of nearness. This Is des tined to become the Pottsville of that portion of the State. The prospect lu the suture for this placer exceeds Any that Pottsville ever had; and there, land which a Roe years ago was selling at five and but Dollars an Sere. scion the rail road opened its mines sold for from two live hundred dollars au ecru. These are facts. 'those who are Ignorant, let them snake inquiry. Improvement is still progressing. So 'arrive at the truth. Judge the future by the peet.and then what will this land be! It Is proper that reason should give the answer. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad, of which Gov. Bigler is President, and which connects this land with the Lakes and Philadelphia, and the Alleghany-Valley Railroad. of which Gov. Johnson is President. connecting this land with Pittsbnrg. are In rapid course of completion ..ad up on a great extent the locomotives are running. The race. Cons which suggest themselves upou this soiject are these—lt takes two hundred weeks to pay for the farms. They will be distributed when they are half paid for. By that time the railroads will be finished. That will be early enough for all practical purposes. The advantage of buying it before their enmpletion Is evident. When that is done property will go up one hundred per cent.— Speculation in coal would at once run it up to such a price ea would make it impossible to obtain for agrictißUr al purposes. We re, got it without paying th,- then Im proved price, and the stochholders will enjoy the rise. A tract of about two thousand acres will be laid off at once, and ready by next Spring, to order that persona who wish to lam immediately can do so. Friends and relatives. as well as those having more than one share can have their farms together. An Improvement department will also be connected with the company. By this means. in order , o acc4immo. date those who ore unable to give their personal attention to fencing or preparation, or desire to rent their properties out instead of residing there, arrangements eon be made to place each farm in complete order, to as to be ready for cultivation. After the farms have been all sold, stock holders can have manure furnished, houses built and other work done upon credit, they securing tho payment to the company within a reasenable time, so that a man in the first prase receives a farm at the lowest possible Price, and then is afforded every assistance in placing It under crops. These embrace the principal features, and an exeellent opportunity Is now offeren br a man to obtain a home for himself, his wife and children, either at - the present or time to come. Many business men, Mechanics, and work ingmen upon farms, who save several dollars a month, am, by thus uniting together, become freeholders, whilst they scarcely miss the outlay, and at less expense than the annual cost of tobacco or the most trifling luxuries. A saving and purchase of this kind eat 'nothing, and con stantly increase in value. In rase of sickness or misfor tune by which he is thrown out of employment, be has a home to go to, where be can always make a good Hying.— The title is unexceptionably good—one of the oldest. in the State, being the Holland Title.
