‘‘Halt,” I saw astroamof blood flowing down the

led away, and the Doctor called. The Swabian
walked coolly 'and to, dress.' The
Vandal had received a cut some 'six inobes in

upwards, making a J Blight wound—a very ghastly

«that snob a wound as I saw given, if it had passed

[From the Boston Traveller.] ‘
Most people in reading the nnnouncoment of such

more-difficult. • -No single hoar, it must be remem* l

the rain pour without or-tho thermometer stand at |
dg.in the shade, must have its mile measured-with'

IMPORTANT ‘IMPROVEMENT
NEW GAS CONSUMING FURNACE,
CHILSON’S NEW CONE FURNACE ,
after having been put to the moat severe teat, during
the two cold winters of 1850 and 1867, has proved to
bo the most powerful heater in the world, .raving from
X to % tho fuel over any of tho best furnaces now in use.
These Furnaces are constructed with a cast iron ash
pit, and a broad, shallow pau-shaped fire pot, lined
with fire-brick or Iron staves. The fire pot is surmount
ed with
A SERIES OF CONEB, on TAPEfcING RADIATORS,
largo and broad at their base, but tapering to small aper
tures at tho top, and uniting with the anular chamber,
through which the heat and smoke pass to the Hue.
The whole products of combustion In the form of
stnoke and oases, are suspended directly over the fire,
confined or compressed into the tapering Cones and
continually exposed to the direct action of the rays
of heat and light from the fire.
This heat and light is brought to a focus in back
Conk, notunlike the
COLLECTION OF THE. SUN’S RAYS,
to a focal point through an ordinary lens, causing the
smoke and OASES to become intensely heated and tho
roughly consumed, by this operation the svokk and
oases are made equally available with the fuel
itself for heating purposes, while, in other furnaces,
it is CARRIED OFF AND WASTED IK Ttlß CHIMNEY.
All persons desirous of obtaining the bent and.
MOST ECONOMICAL HEATING APPARATUS,
should not fall to examino the New Gas Consuming
Cone Furnace, before purchasing any other. Tho at
teution of architects and builders Is particularly re
quested. ARNOLD Sc WILSON,

Choice farm lands for sale.—
THE ILLINOISCKNTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY
Is now prepared to sell about 1,500,000 acres ol choice
Farming lands, in tracts of 40 acres and upwards, on
ong credits, and at low rates of interest.
These lands wore granted by tho Government to aid
In the construction of this Hoad, and are among the
richest and most fertile iu tho world. They extend
from North-East and North-West, through the ralddio
of the State, to the extreme South, and include every
varioty of climate and productions iound between thoso
parallels of latitude; The Northern portion is chiefly
prairie, Interspersed with flno groves, and In the middle
and Southern sections timber predominates, alternating
with boautiful prairies nnd openings.
Tho climate is moro healthy, mild and equable, than
any other part of tho-country—tho air is pure and bra
cing, while living streams nnd springs of excellont
water abound.
Bituminous Coal Is extensively mined, aud supplies a
cheap and desirablo fuel, boing furnished at many
points at $2 to $-1 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 those lands, which are a black
rich mould, from two to five feet deop, and gently roll
lng; their contiguity to this road, by which every facl
lity is furnished for travel amt transportation to the
principal markets North, South, East. West, aud the
economy with which they can bo cultivated, render
them tho mo»t valuable Investment that can be found,
and present tho inoßt favorable opportunity for persons
of industrious habits and small means to acquire a com
fortable independence in a few years.
Chicago is now tho greatest gram market In the world;
and the facility and economy with which tho products
of these lands can be transported to that market, make
them much moro profitable, at the prices asked, than
those more remote at government rates, as tho add!
tlonftl cost of transportation Is a porpetual tax on tho
latter, which must be borne by the producer, in the ro
duccd price he receives lor his grain, Ac.
The title is perfect—and when the final payments are
made, deeds are executed by tho trustees appoluted by
tho Siftto, and in whom tho ttUo is vested, to tho pur
chasers, which convey to thorn absolute titles in fee sim
ple, free and clear of ewery incumbrance, lien or mort
gage.
Tho prices arp from $0 to $3O: Interest only 3 per ct.
Twenty per ct. will be doducted from the price for cash.
Thoso who purchase on long credit, give notes pavablo
in two, three, four, five and sixyearg afterdate, mid are
required to improve one-tenth annually for five years,
so os to huvo ono-Ualftho laud under cultivation at the
ond of that time.
Competeut surveyors will accompany those who wish
to examine these Lands, free of ebargo, aud aid thorn in
malting selections. *
The Lands remaining unsold are as rich and valuable
as those which have bcou disposed of.
