TO THOBB WHO WANT FARMS.
A Farm within the reach of every Man.
THE P.IDGWAY FARM COMPANY HIS
has made arrangements by which all
who desire to settle or purchase a home can
do so.
The Farms consist of the best limcetong
soil of the most superior quality for farming,
in a rapidly improving place, into which an
extensive emigration is now pouring. The
pronerty is located in Elk Connly, Pennsyl
vania, in the midst of a thriving population
of seme 10,090. The climate is perfectly
henlthv, and the terrible plague of the west
fever is unknown. It also has an abundance
of the best quality of Coal and Iron. The
price to buy it out is from $3 to S2O psr acre,
payable by installments, to be located at the
time of purchasing-or a sharo of twenty-five
actes entitling to locate tho same for S3OO.
payable $6 per montb or 12J acres payable $4
per month. Discount for every sum o r SIOO
and undet, paid in advance, ami for ovej SIOO
a die omit of til per cent.
In considering the advantages of emigrating
to this locality the following are presented :
First —The soil is a rich limestone, capsule
of raising the heuviesl crops, owing to whi.h
this settlement has obtained its present great
prosperity.
Sscokii —lt is the centre of ,he great North
West Coal ltu3ir, and is destined soon to ho
come ono of the greatest business | luces in
the State. It will supply the great l.trke mar
ket, (according to the population and travel
the greatest in tho Union.) It has five work
able veins of the best Bituminous coal, amount
mg in the aggregate- io over 22 feet, which
makes 22.000 tons of coal under each sere.
Ibis will innkc the lar-d of inestimable value.
The eminent geologist Dr. Chas. T. Jackson
of Boston .has made a geological survey of the
land - and analysed the coal, the iron ore and
limestone. This report together with maps
will bo furnished to inquirers.
Fourth —Three Railroads are laid out thro'
this property. The Sunbutv and l',no llailroad
gives us a market for our coal to the lakes—it
runs front Erie to Philadelphia. A large part
of the Road has been finished, and is now in
running order. A heavy force is now working
from Erie towards our land in the western di
rection, the means for the completinu of which
has liecn rui-ci, it will soon he finished. The
Allegheny Valley 'Railroad connects us with
New York, Boston and Pifsburg. The Ve
nango Road connects us with the West.
Thete are already good Turnpiko Roads
running through this prnpetly, various other
roads have been opened lo accommodate the
cmrgralion and settlement which has altcady
taken place.
There is no opportunity equal lo it now of
fered to the mon who wonts to provide hitnself
a home in an easy way, and makco settlement
wheie ho can live in prosperity and indepeud
cncc in a climate Perfectly Healthy.
No case of fevet ever having been known to
occur in tliis settlement. It is not like going
to tbe backwoods of the West, among peihaps
i.-toleraiil people, whetc there is no society,
churches, or schools, where the price of land is
high, and where the emigrant, after being used
to the lu-althiest climate in the world, has to
endure sickness and pain, and perhaps ruins
his health and that of his family. But here is
a thriving settlement having tlnee towns, con
taining churches, schools, hotels, stores, saw
mills, grist mills,and everything desired. There
is a iash market sit hand. The lumber trade
last year amounted to ovor. two hundred million
feet of lun.tier. In a short tunc, ■ wing lo the
coal, it will heci nie still mote valuable as a
number of ironworks and manufactories will
foori lie started; they are at present starting
them extensively at Warren. Even for thoso
who do not wi-h to go there, the payments
are such thai they can easily buy u farm lo
save their rising families Irom want in the
future, or to gain a competence by the rise
winch will lake ptaco in tire value of lands.
By an outlay scarcely miseerf, a substantial
provision can be made.
Persons should make early application,"ap
ply or write to E. Jefhies, Secretary, No. 135

Letters corefully answered giving full infor
mation.

The Lxciiinp Cause of Sickness.
Tlie blood is the life sustaining agent. Il
lurnishe* ilir components of ffebh, bone,
muscle, nerva and integument. The stomach
is i(s tnanufaclory, the veins its distributors,
and the intestines the channel through which
ifie waste matter rejected in its production*
is expelled. Upon the stomach, the circula
tion and Ihe hntvels, these fills art simulta
neously, relieving indigestion, purifying the
tlit ills, and regulaliig the excretions.
TIIK K 4TIOX.IL COMPLAINT.
Dyspepsia is ilie most enrnrnon disease

The quantity and quality of the bile are of
vital importance to health. Upon the liver,

llcporl of the Committee appointed to
superintend the burning of the Iron
Safes at Rending, Feb. UVh, 1857.
Ruadim; March 4th.
The undersigned, members of 'he Commit
tee. do respectfully report, that we saw the
two Sales originally agreed rpon by FarreU
& Herring and Evans & Watson, placed side
by side it; a furnace, via; The Sale in use by
the Paymaster ol the Philadelphia and Read
, ing Railroad Company, in his office at Read
j ing, manufactured by FarreU & Herring, and
the Safe in use by H A. Lantg, in his store,
manufactured by F.vans £c Watson, and put
iu books and papers precisely alike.
The lire was started at o'clock, A. 51 ,
and kept up until foureords'uf green hickory,
two cords dry oak and half chestnut top wood
were entirely consumed, lite whole under
the superintendence of the subscribers, mrm-
I bers ol the Committee. The Safes were then
cooled off with water, after which they were
[ opened, ngd the books nnd papers taken out
i by the Committee and sent to H. A. La-ttz's
store for public examination, after they were
first examined and marked by the Commit
tee. The books and papers taken from the
Safe manufactured by F.vans & Watson were
but slightly* affected by the intense heat,
while those taken front the Safe manufac
tured by Farrels& Herring were, in our judg
ment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more
than those taken from Evans & Watson'•
Safe.
