The Soil la a rich limestone loam, and es
pecially adapted to cultivation, aa it la mMw
hilly nor atony, "hot gently rolling or fine table
land. Around and through ihis property there
are already some 20,000 acres under cultivation,
and its fertility has been established fromtthn
cropa prji uced. Upon this subject it ia easy
to be fully aatiefied. There ia a rrady cash
market for produce which is taucfc better than
trade. It is the CHEAPEST, as land of a
similar quality is selling at much Msor prices
adjoining, and especially such as contains coal.
THE COAL—ThiB in particular fa tho Coal
District, several veins underlaying the whole
properly, and the attention of miners, and
th,.so acquainted with coal lands, is apecially
called to it. It baa the Advantage of being the
neatest to the great lake, market, with which
it will he connected by the Eunbury and Erie
llailroad now Under contract and in course of
completion from Erie to Kidgsway, with do
set-tiding grade the whole way. The soil over
bituminous coal ia the beat, lor instance Eng.
land and other countries. The price per acre
ia trilling for the coal aioue, aa it will certain
ly, in ao favorable a location within a short
time pay largely. This ia important at an
immense coal trade Trill soon open. Four coal
companies have already been started to work
mil es in the vicinity, and lbs re ato new fifteen
openings around Bt. Mary's.
THE TIMBER, Stockholder*" also receive,!.
'l'hvre is no reservation whatever either of
limber or coal. It is very valuable, and will
puj fur a great poll of the lar.il. On account
of the excellence of streams there are line op
portunities for twills.
FOR HEARTH, the location is much re
commended by Physicianr. The chills and

Valley, the Pittsburg and Buffalo, and tlis
Venango. Energetic exertions are also boing
msde for Ihe building of the Tyrone and Clear
lid,l, which also passes through this property.
The effect of this upon trade, and general dei
velopmettt, n well as the coal, may be imagined.
The large und flourishing town of 81. Mary's
