A Farm within the reach of every Man, THE RIDGWAY FARM COMPANY has has made arrangement* by which all who desire lo settle or purchase a home can do so. The Farms consist of the feet limestong soil of tho most superior quality for farming, in o rapidly improving -place, Into which an extensive emigration is now pouring. The property is located in Elk Coneiy, Ptnnsyl vsnia, in the midst of a thriving population of some 10,000. The climate is perfectly hcalthv, and the terrible plague of-the west fever le Unknown, ir eleo fcat'aa dkwndaneo of the best quality of Coal and'lron. The price to buy it out is from $3 lo (3D per acre, psyablo by installments, to be locateJ at the time of purchasing,or a share of twenty-five actes entitling to locate tho same for $3OO, payable $6 per month or 12} acres payable $4 per month. Discount for every sum o r $lOO and under, paid in advance, and for over $lOO adit ;Ount of 10 per cent. Inconsidering the advantages of emigrating to (his locality the following are presented : FIRST — The soil is e rich liraostone,capenlo of raising the heaviest crops, owing to. whi.li this settlement has obtained Its present great prosperity. Bvcomi—lt is the centre of ,he greet North West Coal liasic, and is destined soon to be come one of the greatest business ) laces in the Stale. It will supply the great Lake mar. kcl, (according to tho population and trivcf the greatest in the Union.) It hasfivework. able veioa of the best Bituminous coal, amnunt rug in the aggregate to over 22 feet, which makes 22,000 tons of cosl under each acre. This will make the lat>d of inestimable value. The eminent geologist Dr. Chat. T. Jackson of Boston, has made a gcoiogi cal survey of the • land, and analysed the coal, the iron ore SDJ limestone. This report together with maps will be furnished to inquirers. FOURTH— Three Railroads are laid out thro' thisproperty. The Honburv and Eiie Railroad gives us s market for our coal to the lakes—it runs from Erie to Philadelphia. A large part of tho Road has been finished, and ia now in running order. A heavy force is now working from Erie towards our land in the western di rection, the means for the complvtiou of which has been rui-eJ, it will soon be finished. The Allegheny Yalley 'Railroad connects as with New York, Boston and Pitisburg. The Ve nango Road connects us with the Weet. Theie are olrcady good Turnpiko Roads running through this property, various other roads have been opened to accommodate the emigration and settlement which has alieady taken place. There is no opportunity equal to It now of fered to the man who wants to provide himself a home in an rosy way, and make a settlement where he can live in proeperitv and independ ence in a climate Perfectly Healthy. No case of fevor ever having been known lo .occur in this settlement. It Is not like going to the backwoods of the West, among perhaps iMolerant people, where there is no society, churches, or schools, where the price of land is high, and where the emigrant, after being used to the healthiest climate in tho world, ha* to endure sickness and pain, and perhaps ruins his health and that of his family. But here is a thriving settlement having thiee towns, con taining churches, snhnola, hotels, stores saw mills, grist mills, ami everything desired. There is a cash mmket at hand. '1 he luhther trade last year amcunled to over two hundred million feel of lumber. In a short time, owing to tho coal, it will become still moio valuable as a number of iron woiks and manufactories will suon be Marled; they are at present starting tbem extensively ai Wairen. Even for those who do not wish to go there, die payments are such that they can easily buy a far in lo save their rising families from want in (lie future, or ftrmt(l inirxe ewrty - ply or write lo K.

AH State and County Records should al ways be printed or written on this paper, as the chemicals inserted in the pulp not only prevent erasure or transfer, but make it last ing as time. For Southern Climates it is excellent, and much eu| erior to any other; as the moistness of the climate does not destroy it, —the prop erties insetted in the pulp being a preventive. In all the southern states, Cuba, the West In dies and the Central American States, no public records can be kept over 20 years, written on the ordinary paper, white the oils and chemicals inserted in this pnpel makes it indestructible by the ravages of time. It is also proof against moths, rats and other ver min, which feast on and destroy all other pi per now in use. The Company have now In operation Mills in Morris County, N.

This has been the result of its marked su periority in quality, and its invariable uni form ity. The nublic may be assured of the continu ance of the high standard now established. 'The production is over Twenty Tons daily, and the demand has extended throughout the whole ol the United Stales, uml to foreign countries. Working thus on a very large scale, and under a rigid system, they are able to secure a perfect and uniformity in the quality through out the year. This is the great Desideratum in Starch-making, and is realized now for the first rime. The very best starch that enn be made, and no oilier, is always war ted by consumers, and while this will be supplied to thern by the grocers, as soon as their customers have learned which is the best, and ask for it— otherwise they would be likely to get that article on which the largest profit can bo made. Mr. Kingsford has beon engaged In the manufacture of starch coininuooily for the last 27 years, and during the whole of the period, the starch made under his supervis ion has been, bevond nnv question, the beat in the maiket. For (ho first 17 years, he bail the charge of the works of Win.
