Railway Project. a bio combination new coal route opened to buffalo what it MEANS. A late number of tho Elk County (Pa.) Democrat states that a consolida tion has been effected between Buffalo, Brad 'O d and "Pittsburgh ltailway Com pany (formerly the Elk & McKean Company,) the Daguscahonda Improve ment Company, the Brandy Camp llail road Company, the Northwestern Min ing & Exchange Company, and the in terests known as the Shawmut property. By this consolidation it is proposed to open up a road from Wilcox to Buffalo and Rochester, and thus furnish an out let for the mineral wealth of that part of Pennsylvania to the west via Buffalo, and to the east via Rochester. The consolidated company comes at once into tho possession ol the 2Gb miles of the finished road of the Buffalo, Brad ford & Pitsburgh, five miles of Dagus cahonda road, and the sixteen miles of the Shawmut road, together with a large number of engines, cars, and many thousand acres of coal and timber lands. What this means. ' It apPears that the Erie Railroad Company owns 1,200 acres of coal lands in Elk county, Pa., known as the Shaw mut lands, which it bought four years ago for 61,000 000. These lands are situated sume fitly or sixty miles west of Emporium and are at preseut accessi ble to Buffalo only by the B., N. Y. & P. and Philadelphia & Etie roade by a long circuitous route. The new route which it is proposed by the consolida tion to open, would be much shorter. It would include the Buffalo & James town Railroad from Buffalo to Dayton, thence cast on the Erie road to Carrol ton, and thence south on the Buffalo, Bradford & Pittsburgh roud to Giles villa. All this road is now built and iu operation. There would remain to bo built the link between Gilesville and Wilcox, which in a direct lino is about 28 miles. With this constructed a much shorter route from tho Shawmut coal lands to Buffalo would be opened than at present exists. The other parties in this consolida tion, such as the Brandy Cump Rail way Company and the Daguscahonda Improvement Company, are works of no great importance within tba Shawmut coal land region. ANOTHER PROJECT. Whether or not this consolidation has been or will be formed may be a ques tion through the Elk county papers speak of it as an accomplished fact. We may add, however, that another project has been formed for reaching the same lands. It is simply the extension of the McKean branch of the Buffalo, New York & -Philadelphia road from Bishop Summit, which is at the Buffilo Coal Couipauy'y lands, to Johusonburg, a distance of thirty-two miles. This would open a route from the Shawmut lands to Buffalo as direct as the first one mentioned, and its friends claim the new roud would bo necessary to build would be much less difficult rade. At any rate the completion of coal routes is pretty sure to bring soft coal to Buffalo at the bottom rates. BuJJalo Express. Buffalo will yet discover there is coal in McKean county. She has an inkling of it but it look a loug time to find out what little is known- Eiijhteen years ago the Buffalo, Bradford & Pittsburgh Railroad was talked of and some money furnished to explore Lie land lor coal. Car load af ter cur load was shipped to Buffalo, but it was opculy declared that the coal was not tukco from Mclieau county, J. ne editor ol this paper was associa ted with Dr David Jfaio Owen m niak ing a geological survey and report, and every statetrent coutained therein has been proved by actual exploration and mining, finally a road 'was built tLrougti Cattaraugus county, N. Y., aud Potter and Cameron counties, Pa., to open up the McKean county coal. Of course it was a failure so far as McKean county coal was concerned, and this blunder was remedied by add ing a branch running within six miles of the B., B. & P. Railroad, and now known as the Buffalo & McKean Rail way. The Buffalo. New York & Philadel phia R. R. and its extension the Buffalo Si McKean, are paying institutions, and tho men who built them did much for Buffalo. The Buffalo & Jamestown is also a profitable feeder to Buffalo, and its pro jeeiors deserve great credit, but it is well understood that the old B. B. & P. R. R. would have answered nearly tb purpose ol both, and made Buffalo a great manufacturing city more than a dozen years ago. Our flowing oil wells are within seventy miles of Buffalo via Erie and UuffaloiX Jamestown roads. Will Buffalo becotue the seat of oil refineries, or shall Jamestown, N. Y., - a. i , vuuuuue iu iuuu in iuis mailer. Olean is already agitating the er ection of a pipe line to bring our oil within i each of oompeting railroad lines and canal. Buffalo mnst wake up and see that a dozed years hence she shant regret her unbelief in McKean conety oil, as she does her want of faith in McKean county coul. . PAY AS YOU GO.

When we contemplate doing business in a distant towu we take up the paper of that town and from its local advertising columns we get a true picture of the mon we have to deal with, a complete record of tho town, its commerce its home trade, the facilities of its store-keepers, its banks, and in al most every case we can estimate the character and feelings of the men wh0 are soliciting publio trade. The adver tising page is a map of the town, record of its municipal character, a business coDftssioo of the citizens, and instead of being the opinionated production of one man it is freighted with the life thoughts of a huudred. Every man is to a certain extent a mercantile establishment, and so lar as tho business of soiling labor in returu for money is concerned, it should be conducted on the same basis. A family is a social business firm of itself, aod the head of the family requires all the commercial sagacity displayed by a New York merchant, only as lar as the circumstances alter the case. A wise man goes to the best market. Speak ing ot these things ws must trace the true cause of individual and genera prosperity to tho advertising columns of the inevitable county newspaper.

Expei enced people are fouud wondering how so perfect a sewing machine as the Wil son Shuttle can bo made so perfect iu every part, so thoroughly adapted to the requirements of family sewing, and yet be sold lor twenty dollars less than any other first-class machine. The rea son is easy and plain; with a fair profit, because the most perfect machinery is used iu its construction. The splendid establishment, of the Company, and its tu men so busiucss, is the best evidence that this policy has beeu a success.

About threu hundred rails were sint to market, averaging 5,000 feet, making in ull l,5U0,OUO feet atau average often cents per tout, mak ing a return ol not less than $150,000. We also sent about 100,000,000 Icet ol logs to market, which will yield a re turn of $300,000 to tho owners. At least one-third of the logs ncre owned by out owu citizens, and the balance by Lcck Haven aud W illiumsport parties. Now, bad these sales been made 'or cash, the trumaction would be visibly felt although much of the lumber, was sold below cost, but the greater pottiou having been sold on three, ai'd tix months time, the commercial pul.su i stiil low and deptessed. A large num ber of raits wcie sold for less than it cost to manufacture them and run them to market. This is a little rough when we take ioto consideration the fact, that stumpage has heretofore been worth from six to ten oonts, within reasonable distance irotu the river and Clearfield creek. The owners ot timber had bet ter let it remain ou the stump, than give it away aud only be rewarded for their labor. They had better put in their time at somethiug elsa and not waste so much valuable raw material.

The sheriff reports the penitentiary as more than lull, there being something over five hundred cells in it, aud more thau five hundred prisote s now incarcerated within its walls. The authorities at that institution informed the sheriff that no more prisoners could be taken, and that tho judges of the different dis tricts would be io formed to that effect. Under such - circumstances what a de lightful time the sheriff of this county will have in accommodating and retain ing the rapidly accumulating prisoners in our old hulk of a jail.

On Monday night a party of fourteen of (he outlaws paid a visit to the house of J.

The reader will probably smile, as he docs eveiy day when a new party is an uounced, but this is nut a thing to smile at. It is altogether too important, and besides it originates in Boston, and who shall laugh at anything which starts (here.
