Louis NAPoLEoNs LrrTER.--We give y
another column this important letter 20 .ne
Car. It acquires especial interest rom 'no
fact that the London Times expresses i's .
prise at 1t says II contains some in','naA'
that France has waived the fundamental col.
dition of the collective negotiation proposed
hv .tha rour Powers condemns most deci'
dedly its placing the Principall''es On .ne
same footing as the occupation oy the aiiies
Of the glack Sea; speaks Of its vague and
rambling uhraseology /; thinks that Russia
All, ~, .oree to its terms aid is very clear
~ Of on;nion that the French government
has no authority to express the intentions of
the Queen of England. 1t is rather early for
the affectionate allies to have misunder-
standing. If the newly married couple be-
come Jealous so soon, divorce may ere long
terminate their nuptial joys, and then Old
Nick will be to pay.
The AGRICULTURAL SoclETY.-We pub
lish to-day report of the proceedings Of the
Executive Committee of the Agricultural
Society of Virginia, at its recent session in
this city. They will be found highly interest
ing to the agricultural community.
While on the subject we take occasion to
suggest that our citizens should not forget
for single day the importance ofthis noble
society to the commercial as well as other
interests of the State They should not meg
lect to render it every assistance in their
power. Tomorrow we shall publish brief
address from the veteran agriculturalist who
has been appointed Commissioner of the So
ciety, setting forth the plan he has laid out
for the prosecution of his labors. We antici-
pate important results from his efforts.
We have received from Mr.. WooDHoUsE
the following books:
BOYS AT HOME, by c. Adams-illustrated.
D. appleton g. Co., New York, publishers.
This is really very pretty book as far as
the mechanical execution is concerned, and
WITH we confess, only glance at it, we are
disposed to regard it as one ofthe best OF the
series of very excellent juvenile books which
the Appletons have put forth.
The Book OF One HUNDRED BEVERAGES.
This is a small volume filled with directions
for making unintoxicating beverages. We
regard it as very useful assistant to a house
keeper, whether upon temperance or any
other principle. 1t contains great many
valuable suggestions of increasing the means
of pleasing the palate and giving zest to hos
pitality, and all in very innocent way.
CHAMBERS EDINBURGH JOURNAL; for

house has the agency for it here. We COM

2,5uO Acres Timber Land
zen SALE


GEVERAL VALUABLE TRACTS OF
~ TIMBER LAND, comprising about $500
acres, part of which is situated on ToGyhanua
Greek, and part on Muddy Creek, within three
miles Of Lchieh River, in Penn forest township.
Carbon County, ono of the great Coal Counties
Of Ponn-y!yanla, can lie had at bargain, if ap-
pliCatCn be made soon.
These lands are thici,ly covered with tho best
timber of that region. While it is believed that
10000 feet of lumber TO the acre, can be cut from
a large portion OF the land, the balance will aver
age not much less than this figure. The kinds Of
timber found onthe land are Hcmlock, Spruce or
White Cedar, White Oak, White Pine and
Chestnut-but principally made up of White
Pine and Icmlock.
The Tobyhanna and Muddy Greeks are large
and rapid streams, yielding vast amount Of
water power, and are capable of driving large
number ofsaw mills They empty into the Iehigh,
which stream, with the Lchigh Canal alfolds an
outlet 10 the most desirable lumber markets.
There is, too, under contemplation. a railway
leading othc cities of New y ok and Philadelphia
which runs within one mile and itrse gNoJtcrs Of
tue land Through these avenues lumber can be
delivered in either Of he cities named, for about
81 per thousand fret-thus enabling persons en-
gagged in the trade to derive greater profits than
attend investments generally.
In addition TO the timber, convertible into cvc-
ry shape of lumber, there is much thaewill an
swer for spars of vesseis--a sort of timber that
snip builders have been obliged TO purchase in
Maine, or at other distant points
Unlike most Of the lands on the Lchigh there
has, as yet been no culling Of the timber on this
property. 1t stands undIsturbcl 10y the wood
mans axe. II is, therefore, the more valuable
The lumber trade OF the Lehigh has hcrn carried
on to such an extent for years past, that's scarcity
of good timber is beginning to be felt, Every
season necessarily increases this difficulty. The
consequence must he an enChan,emPnt Of the
value Of timber lands. Those un-culled tracts
with the advantage of avenues TO market, such
the lands offered for sale, possess cannot fail
to be the sources of supply hereafter.
But the land is not alone valuable for the tim
Der it contains. Ii is of good quality for farming
nearly every acre being susceptible Of high
state Of cultivation.
Capitalists desiring to make investments, weuld
DO well to turn their attention to these lands For
