Ttronu & Cleaefield Railroad. Cheer
i.vo Intelligence. The Work Pkogressino
Kapidlt. A few days since we received a let
tor from our esteemed friend, James E. Mont
gomery, Esq., the energetic and obliging engineer-in-chief
of the Tyrone & Cleartield
K.iilroad a work in which all are more or less
Interested, and one which should certainly
claim a large share of our time and attention
from which we gathor the following cheering
information relative to the progress ot the
work on this road. Mr. M. says :
-TI:e work is progressing very rapidly, and
In point of construction very favorably. On
fie Eastern side of the mountain, the roadway
presents quite a finished appearance. Section
J$o. 10, in Eu-igh's Gap, is completed and has
received a final estimate, whilst sections Nos.
7 and C are so far advanced as to warrant the
belief that they will both receive final esti
mates at th-3 next meeting of the Board. Sec
tions Xcs. 6, 8, 11 and 14, are all very far ad
vanced towards completion and will require
but a few weeks to prepare them for the super
structure. The heavy work upon section 12
which includes the high embankment across
Mount Pleasant Run is progressing very rap
idly and will be finished in good time for the
balance of the work. There is a large force
employed upon it, and the Contractor, Mr.
Campbell, gives the work his immediate su
pervision. On the Western Division, there is
one section (17) entirely finished, and two oth
ers far advanced ; the remainder of the work
is revj light and will require but little time to
construct.
The above will show the amount of work
already doue upon this important road, and I
hope it may serve to awaken new life and in
creased vigor in its behalf. The friends of the
measure should lose no opportunity of bring
ing this enterprise into general notice, and
chould not suffer the proper interest to flag."
H'e feel very much like hurrahing over this
intelligence, and we know that it will send a
thrill of pleasure through every friend of the
road. Many supposed that by this time the
work would have been suspended, instead of
being, as it actually is, far advanced towards
completion. It Is needless to speak of the im
portance of this road, as it must be plainly
manifest to every one who has any knowledge
of this region of country. But we have no
hesitation in expressing it as our opinion, that,
when once completed to this place, one-fourth
at least of the way-freight that would be ship
Tied from Philadelphia by the Pennsylvania
Central Road, would diverge from it at the
po:nt where the Clearfield & Tyrone Road in
tersects it.
We understand that a general excursion of
Directors and Stockholders over the entire
route, will be proposed in a short time, and we
trust every one who can possibly go, will do
so, and lend his influence in pushiug the road
to an early completion.
We expect to receive a more clear and club
orate statement of the condition of affairs on
t!:e Railroad, from Mr. Montgomery, which
wc will lay before our readers as soon as it is
received.
Tue Weather Streams Cuors, &c.
Great quantities of rain fell during the last
week. in this region, accompanied by high
winds and a little hail. In Woodward town
ship, we understand, the storm was severe, and
did some damage, but what amount we did not
learn. The streims were high, but we believe
the water did no other injury than sweep away
a few small bridges. Several rafts passed this
pliice on Friday and Saturday. The crops, we
are told, look well generally. The grass crop
will be large, and will have to be cut in a few
'weeks. Wheat in old ground is not so good ;
in some fields it was almost entirely frozen
::t; but in new grouud it is unusually good.
The rye and oats are also doing well. The
corn will require working immediately, and
we mf look for a good crep, notwithstanding
the backwardness of the season.
Came Back John Uzzle, who escaped from
the jail in this borough, some months since,
and for whose arrest, together with that of an
other man named Curly who escaped at the
same time, the Sheriff recently otTered a re
vard, enme back voluntarily last Thursday and
delivered himself up to the Sh.?ri3,and is now
serving or.t the time which he had been sen
tenced to be imprisoned. The reason be as
signed for coming back was, that as a reward
had been offered, somebody would apprehend
him, and so he thought he might as well return
himself.; If we recollect aright, he had been
sentenced, at the March term of Court, to pay
a fine of $10 nd be imprisoned thirty days,
for having strnck another person with nictal
knuckles. Curly is still at large.
Didn't Pair 'Em.- Some sole-less rogno or
other broke into Short's shoe shop, on Sun
day night, and carried off two boots ; but as
he didn't happen to mate them, one being a
No. D and the other a 6, be will fiud himself
short in one boot aft jr all.
Sale of the Main Line. The Canal Com
missioners, by their Counsel, C. R. Buckalew,
Esq., Chairman of the Democratic State Ex
ecutive Committee, have made an application
to the Supreme Court for an injunction to res
traiu th? Governor from selling ttie Main Line
of the Pnblio Works, and the Pennsylvania
Kailroad Company from purchassng the same.
Attorney General' Franklin, on beaajt pi the
State, will resist the application.

rnio THOSE WHO WANT farms.
L A FARM WITHIN THE REACH OF
EVERY. MAN.
THE R IDG WAY FARM COMPANY has made ar
rangements bv which all who desire to settle or
purchase a home can do so. The farms consist of
the best limestone soil of tho most superior quality
for farming, in a rapidly improving plaee, into
which an extensive emigration is now pouring.
The property is located in Elk County, Pennsylva
nia, in the midst of a thriving population of some
10.U00. Tho climate is perfectly healthy, and the
terrible plague of the west fever is unknown. It
also has an abundance of the best quality of Coal
and Iron. The prico to buy it out is from ?3 to
520 per acre, payable in instalments, to be located
at the tune of purcnasing, or a snaro oi u acres
entitling to locate the same for SSUO, payabln S-6
per month or 12 acres payable SI per month.
Discount foreverv sum of S100 and under, paid in
advance, a discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed,
and for over S100 a discount ot 10 per cent.
In considering the advantages of emigrating to
this locality the Pillowing nrc presented :
First The soil is u rich limestone, capable of
raising the heaviest crops, owing to which this set
tlement has attained its present great prosperity.
Scroiid It is the centre of the great North West
Coal Basin, aud is destined soon to become one of
the greatest business places in the State. It will
supply the great Lake market, (according to popu
lation and travel the greatest in tho Union.) It
has five workable veines of the best Bituminous
Coal, amounting in the aggregate to over 22 fact,
which makes 22.000 tons of coal under each acre.
This will make the land of inestimable value.
Third The cuiiuent state geologist Dr. Chas.
T. Jackson of Boston, has made a geological sur
vey ot the land, and analysed the coal, tuo iron
ore and the limestone. This report together with
maps will be furnished to inquirers.
Fourth Three railroads aro laid out through
this property. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad
gives us a market forourcoal to the Lakes it runs
from Erie to Philadelphia. A large part of this
road has been finished, and is now in running or
der. A heavy force is now working from Erie to
wards our land in tho western direction, tlio means
for the completion of which has been raised it
will soon be finished. The Allegheny Valley Rait
road connects us with New York, Boston and Pitts
burg. Tho Venango Road connects as with the
Wost.
There are already eood Turnpike roads running
through the property, various other roads have
been opened to accommodate- tuo emigration auu
settlement which has already taken xlacc.
There is no opportunity equal to it now otterca
in the man who wants to provide himself a home
in an easy way, and make a settlement where he
pan live in prosperity and independence in a cli-
juate PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
No case of fever ever having been known to oco
cur in this settlement. It is not like going to the
backwoods of the Wct, among perhaps intollerant
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 the world, has to endure sickness and
pain, and perhaps ruins bis health and that of uis
family. But here is a thriving settlement having
three towns, containing churches, schools, hotels,
stores, saw mills, grist mills, and everything de.
siroJ. There is a cash market at hand. The lum
ber trade last yCar amounted to over two hundred
million feet of lumber. In a short . time, owing to
the coat, it will still become more valuable, as a
number of iron works and manufactories wilt soon
be started ; they are at present starting them ex
tensively at Warren. Even for those who do not
wish to go there, tho payments are such that they
can easily buy a farm to save their rising families
from want in the future, or to gain a competence
by the rise which will take place in the value of
hinds By an outlay scarcely misled, a substan

Bronchial affections.Coughs, Colds, Pleurisy, Bron
chitis, Asthma, and all other discuses of the throat
and lungs, except Consumption. This invaluable
remedy is no quack nostrum, but is prepared from
the recipe of a tegular physician, who during a
practice of twenty-five years, used it wUh unpar
alleled success, "it is a combination of expecto
rant remedies, simplo in their character and used
bv every educated physician. It is easily taken,
produces no nausea or other disagreeable effects,
and gives almost immediute relief. In this ever
changing climaUt, where coughs and colds so fre
quently end in consumption and death, no family
should be without this certais ct'ttE.
It would be cay to follow in thowakeof the ven
ders of patent inodieiiie, and multiply certificates
got up for the occasion, of miraculous cores, but no
such adventitious aid is necessary in introducing
this preparation to the public. Its real value, and
never failing success, in accomplishing all promis
ed for it, cannot iut give it a wide circulation, and
recommend it to all those afflicted with diseases for
which it is a remedy. Price 371 Cents jer Bottle.
