The Farms consist of the best limestong soil of the most superior quality for farming, in n rapidly improving place, into which an extensive emigration is now pouring. 'l'hc proiierly is locutcd in Elk County, Pennsyl vania, in the midst of a thriving population of some 10,000. The climate la perfectly healths', and tbo terrible plague of tbo west fever is unknown. It also has an abundance of tbe best quality of Coal and Iron. The price to buy it out is from to s2(l per acre, payable by installments, to be located at the lime of purchasing, or a share of twcn'y-five ae.es entitling to locate the same for S3OO, payable jfC per monih or 12J acres payable $4 per month. Discount for every sum o"" SIOO and under, paid in advance, and for ovej SIOO a dis .ount of 10 per cent. Inconsideting the advantages of emigrating lo this locality the following arc presented : FntsT—The soil is a rich limestone,capatilo of raising the heaviest crops, owing to uhi.h this settlement has obtained its present great prosperity. Sr.coNii—lt is the centre of ,he great North West Coal Ilu'ir, and is destined soon to be come one of the greatest business | laces in the State. It will supply the great Lnko mar ket, (according to the population and travel the greatest in the Union.) It hasfive work able veins of ihe best Bituminous coal, amount ing in tbe aggregate IO over 22 feet, which makes 22 OUO tons of coal under each acre, I his wilt make the land of inostimahlo value. 't he eminent geologist Dr. Chas. T. Jackson of Boston,has mude n geological survey of the land, and analysed (he coal, the iron oro and limestone. This report together with maps will be furnished to inquirers. FovnTH—Three Railroads are laid out thro' ihis property.

A. Laniz, in his store, manufactured by Evans & Watson, and put in books and papers precisely alike. The fire was started at 8$ o'clock, A. M., and kept up until four cords of green hickory, two cords dry oak and half chestnut top wood were entirely consumed, the whole under tho superintendence of the subscribers, mem bers ot the Committee. The Safes were theu cooled of! with water, after which they were opened, agd the books and papers taken out by th 6 Committee and sent to 11. A. La/tiz'e store lor public examination, after they were first examined and marked by the Commit tee. The books and papers taken from the Safe manufactured by Evans &. Watsou were but slightly affected by the intense heal, while those taken front the Safe manufac lured by Fatruls &. Herring were, in our judg ment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more than those tuken from Evaus & Watson * Safe. JACOB H. DVSHER, DANIEL S. HUNTER.
