OT AHA agreb of good farm UUU AND COAL LAND in Elk ') County, Bcnzinger Township, Pennsylvania Tor sale, giving a Faim cf 36 acres for f3OO, >1 payable in Inatalinents of $l t per week, or at I, the nine monthly. II Farms of 60. 78, 100, or more acioa adjoin ing in proportion. Each Faim front* upon .a road thirty feet in width. The 801 l Is a rich limestone loam, and ea ' pccially adapted tocultivation, as it ilheither hilly nor stony, but gently rolling or fine table u land. Around and through ibia properly there are already some 30,000 seres under cultivation, a nd its fertility has been established from the '* crops produced. Upon this ehhject It is easy •J to be fully satisfied. There is a ready cash market for pioduce which is much better than trade. It is the CHEAPEST, as land of a - similar quality is selling at much higher prices . adjoining, and especially such aa contains coal, i THE COAL—This in particular is the Coal District, several veins underlayfhg the whole . property, and the attention of miners, aml f thoso acquainted with coal lands, ia specially called to it. It has tho advantage of being the nearest to the great lake market, with which it will be connected byj'lhe Sunbury and Erie Railroad now under contract and in course of complelionTrom Erie to Kidgeway, with de scending grade ihe whole way. file soil over bituminous cost is the bost, lor instsuce Eng- Isnd and other tounliies. The price per acre . ia trilling for the coal alone, as it will certain ly, in ao favorable a location within o short time pay laigely. This ia important aa an immenao coal trade will soon open. Four coal I companies huve already been started to work ' mil es in the vicinity, and there are now fifteen ' openings around Bt. Mary's. ' THE TIMBER, Stockholders also received. ' There is no reservation whatever cither of limber or coal. It is very valusblo, and will pay lor a great pait of the lar.d. On account ! of the excellence of streams there are fine op -1 portunities for mill*. FOR HEALTH, the location is much ro. commended by Physicianr. The chills and fevers are unknown, also pulmonary complaints, being prolectod from the north east winds by the Allcghanies. The water is pure and amongst the best, ihe land abounding ou fine springs. FOUR RAILROADS will shortly bo com pleted connecting it by a direct communication with Now V'ork, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Erie, | Buffalo, and all the chics on the lakes. They are ihe Sunbury and Erie, Ihe Alleghany Valley, the Pittsburg and Buffalo, and the Venango. Energetic exortiona are also being made for the building of the Tyrone and Clear, field, which also passes through this property. The effect of this npon trade, and general de. velopment, >s well as the coal, may be imagined. The large ond flourishing town ot St. Mary's is in tho centre of the tract, numbering near 3,000 inhabitants. It baa hotel., good public . echools, saw and grist milla, etores, well stocked ■ and every thing desired. There are 335 half acre lota in the town of Bt. Mary's which will be rold and the proceeds equally divided amongvt those who buy faims. Kidgeway the county seat, where an extensive business is done ad. joins the tract on the west. The whole district is intersected by good turnpike, and other roada. This is a rare opportunity offered to those who wish to faim or have a good investment for tho future. By making pioper inquiries, and considering the advantages of good soil, an abundance of coal, beallhfulness of cli mate, Railroad facilities, and its location, • correct judgment may be formed of its pre sent advantages and ultimate increase. By writing to the office directions will be given to those who wish to visit the land—- A system of excursions will shortly be adopt ed. There is an excellent opening for various branches of mechanical business, especially tanners, wheelwrights, axe handle makers, shoemakers, carpenters and others.
