These lands were granted by the Government 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 1 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 prairies and openings. The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than any other part of the country—the air is pure ana bra cing, while living streams and springs of« excellent water abound. Bituminous Ooal Is extensively mined, and supplies a cheap end desirable fuol, being furnished at many point# at $2 to $4 per ton—and wood can be had at the same rate per cord. Building Stone of excellent quality also abounds, ’ which can be procured for little more than the expense of transportation. . , ; The great.fertility of these lands, which area black rich mould, from two to five feet deep, and gently roll ing; their contiguity to this road, by which every fad lity is furnished for travel and transportation to the principal markets North, South, Hast. West, and the economy with which they can be cultivated; render them the most valuable investment that ean be found, and present the most favorable opportunity for persons of industrious habits and small means to acquire a com fortable independence hr a few years. j Chicago Is now the greatest grain market In world; and the facility and economy with which the products of these lands can be transported to that market, make them uueh more profitable, at thayrlces asked, than those more remote at government rates, u the add! tioaal cost of transportation Is a perpetual 1 tax on the latter, which must be borne by the prodcoor, lit the re duced price he receives for his grain, &e.* • , , The title is perfect—and when the final payments are made, deeds are executed by the trustees appointed by the State, and in whom the title is vetted, to the pur chasers, which cpnvear to thorn absolute title*tafee sim ple, fro 6 and clear of ewery incumbrance, lien mort * fhe prices are from $8 to £}Q: Interest only Z per ct. Twenty per ct. will be deducted from the price for cash. , Those who purchase on long credit, give notes payable In two, three, four, five and six years afterdate; and are required to improve one-tenth annually for five years, so as to have one-half the land under cultivation at the end of that time. , Competent surveyors will accompany those who wish , to examine these Lands, free of charge, and aid them in making selections. - The Lands regaining unsold are as rich and valuable as those which have been disposed of. BEOTIGNAL MAPS • • Will be sent to any one who will endow fifty cents in postage stamps, and books or pamphlets containing nu • meroufl instances of successful farming, signed by re spectsble and well known farmers living in the neigh borhood of the Railroad Lands, throughout this State— alio the cost of fenolng, price of cattle, expense of har vesting, threshing, etc.,—or any etherrraormation— will bo cheerfully given on application; either personally or by letter, lu English, French, or German, addressed to • * JOHN WILBON.

CHILSOtTS NEW CONE FURNACE, after having been put to the most severe test, during tho two Goto wirtbrS OF 1960 AXD 1857, has proved to bo the most -powerful heater in the toorfrf, saving from k to % the fuel over any of the best furnace* now in use. Thrsb Porxaobs are constructed ’with a cast iron ash pit, and a broad, shallow pan-shaped Are pot, lined with fire-brick or iron stares. The fire pot is surmount ed with A SERIES OF OONEB, or TAPERING RADIATORS, large and broad at their base, but tapering to small aper tures at the top, and uniting with the auular chamber, through which the heat and smoke pass tho tiue. Tite whole products of combustion in tlio form of smoke aud oases, are suspended directly over the fire. confined or compressed into the tapering Conks and continually exposed to the direct action of the rays of host and light from tho fire. This heat aud light is brought to a FOODS in baou Cone, not unlike tho COLLECTION OF THE BUN'S RAYS, to a focal point through an ordinary lens, causing the smokb and OASES to become intensely heated anu tho roughly consumed, by this operation the smoke and oases are mads equally available with the fuel itself for heating purposes, while, in other furnaces, it is carried off and wasted in tub cuihniy. All porsous desirous or obtaining the besi and MOST ECONOMICAL HEATING APPARATUS, should not fail to examine the N RW Gas Consuming Cone Furnace, before purchasing any other. The at tention of architects and builder* is particularly re quested. ARNOLD & WILSON, (Successor* to S. A.
