The only Safe which, in every instance,
preserved the entire contents at
the late Extensive Fires.
AT THE BURNING OF THE ARTIZAN
BUILDJNGS, April 101b, and in the great
fire in Market Street, May Ist, 1856, the gen
uine HERRING SAVE preserved the Jewelry of
George W. Sirams & Bro.; Books, Papers Sic.
of Fisher & Bro. and Edward Semans & Co.,
after remaining exposed in the burning ruins
for nearly Forty Hours, and proving conclu
sively what we have always claimed for
reat superiority over all saouri
'•ln these fires, the HERRING'S SAFE,
standing side by side with those advertised |
as "warranted to stand 10 per cent, more fire
than Herring's," came forth the acknowledg
ed victor, not only preserving their contents
in excellent order, but being themselves in a
condition to go through another ordeal, while
the boasted "Salamanders" of other makers
were badly used op in every instance, and
in aomecaseetheir entire contents completely
destroyed.'
To the public we would simply sty, that,
during the fourteen years of the Herring's
Safe has been before them, more than two
tinudred have passed through accidental fires
Without the occurrence of a single loss.
We would, therefore, caution purchasers
against the misrepresentation of interested
parlies. The Herring'a Patent it the only
Fire-proof Safe made in this city which is
protected by a Patent Right, and we will
guarantee it to resist more than double the
amount of heat of any other Safe now known.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT^PA^)
June 'ld , 1856 $
To the Commissioners and Treasurer of Colum
bia County,
KNTLEMEN:—Permit me to call your
attention to the following provision in
Ihe Act of 29th of April, 1844:
''lf any county shall pay into the State
"Treasury its quota of tax' levied on the ad
•'justed valuation, FIFTEEN days prior lo the
"first day of August in any year, such county
"shall be entitled to an abatement of Jive per
"cent on the amount so paid."
I am induced to send you this circular, not
so much Irom the custom which has prevail
ed in this office, but because of the anticipa
ted difficulties between this and the first of
August next.
The large and pressing demands upon the
Treasury, many of which cannot be postpon
ed, may cause a resort to a temporary loan,
(which is nol desirable,) unless relief is had
in the usual quarter from Ihe comities.
The credit of the State, as well as Ihe gen
erous abatement she has allowed in case of
prompt payment, will no doubt induce you to
come to her relief I
Be pleased to reply at an early day as to'
your intention to comply with the suggestions
of this Circular.
Yery respectfully,
HENRY S. MAGRAW,
Slate Treasurer.

O7 nnn AURBS or GOOD FARM
AND COAL LAND in Elk
County, Bri ringer Township, Pennsylvania
for asle, giving a Firm rf 25 acres for S3OW,
payable in inalalinenla of $1 pir

Farita of SO, 76, 100, or mors acres adjoin
ing in proportion. Each Fauto frontajupon a
road thirty feet in width.
The Boil la a rich limhsldnc loam, andss-
Serially adapted to cultivation, as it i*n*k|ier
illf nor atony, hut gentlv tolling or fins labia
land. Around and through ihlit property there
ore already anme 20,000 acres under cultivation,
and its fertility has been established frotVijthe
crops produced. Upon this subject it is easy
to be fully satisfied. There is a ready cash
market for ptoduce which is much better that/
trade. It is the CHEAPEST, as land of a
similar quality is selling at much higher prices
adjoining, and especially such as contains coal.
'THE COAL—This in particular is the Coal
District, several veins underlaying the whol*
property, ami the attention of miners, and
thnso acquainted with coal lands, is specially
called to It. It has the advantage of being the
nearest tn the great lake market, with which
it will be connected by the Bunbury and Erie
Railroad now under contract and in Course of
completion from Erie to Ridgsway, with de
scending grade the whole way. The soil over
bituminous coal is the best, lor instance Eng
land and other c ounlties. The price per acre
is trifling for the coal alone, as it will certain
ly, in so favorable a location within a abort
lime pay largely. This is important Us an
immense cosl trade will soon oprn. Four coal
companies huve already been started to work
mil ea in the vicinity, and there ate now fifteen
openings around St. Mary's.
THK TIMBER, HtockhoMes"atso received.
There is no reservation whatever either of
timber or coal. It Is very valuable, and will
pay for a great pait of the lar.d. On account
of the excellence of streams there are fine ops
portunities for mills.
FOR HEALTH, the location is much re
commended by Pbyaicians. The chill* and
fevers are unknown, alao pulmonary complaints
being protected from the north east Winds by
the Alleghanies. The water is pure and amongst
the best, the lnd abounding on fine springs,
FttUlt RAILROADS will shortly be com
pleted connecting it by a direct communication
with New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Erie,
Buffalo, end ell the cities on the lakes, '/' hey
are the Sunbury and Erie, the Alloghany
Velley, the Pittsburg and Buffalo, and the
Venango. Energetic eiortions are also being
made for the building of the Tyrone and Clear
field, which also passes through this property.
The effect of this upon trade, and general de.
velopment, is well as the coal, may be imagined.
The larg-o and flourishing town of Bt. Mary's
ie in the centre of the tract, numbering near
3,000 inhabitants. It has hotols, good public
schools, saw and grist mills, stores. Well stocked
and every thing desired. '/Tore are 235 half
acre lota in the town of St. Mary's which will
he sold and the proceeds emially divided amongst
those who buy faima. Kidgeway the county
scat, where an extensive business is done la
joins the trajt on the west. The whole district
is intersected by good turnpike, and other roads.
'This is a rare opportunity ottered to those
who wish to fiii m or have a good investment
for the future. Dy making ptoper inquiries,
and considering the advautagei of good toil,
an abundance of coal, heallhfulness of cli
mate, Railroad facilities, and it* location, *
correct judgment may be formed of its pre-
I sent advantages and ultimate inciease.
By writing to the office directions will be
given lo those who wish lo visit the land.—
Aaystem of excursion! will shortly be adopled
There is an excellent opening for various
branches of mechanical business, especially

This is to certify (hit, having been over
the tract owned by the Ridgewsy Farm and
Coal Company and given it a thorough ex
amination, we find the representations' of that
Company lo be correct. We find the soil to
be the most fertile—the coal and iron ore to
lie in inexhaustible quantities, through the
whole district—the Farms in excellent order,
and the intelligence and prosperity of the
people to be of the most gratifying charac
ter. We know that there is no healthier lo
cation in ihe State, and we consider it a most
desirable place of settlement.
We make this declaration, as we believe
there may be many persons who are unac
auaimed with these lands, and we are satis
ed, from out knowledge of the subject, th*t
information upon it will bo a public benefit
