land. Around and through This property there
are already some 10000 acres under cultivation,

crops produced. Upon this subject il is easy
to be fully satisfied. There Is ready cash
market for produce which is much better that
trade. II Is the CHEAPEST, as land of a
similar quality is selling at much higher prices
adjoining, and especially such as contains coal.
THE COAL-This in particular is the Coal
District, several veins underay ying the whofs
property, and the attention of miners, and
those acquainted with coal lands. is specially
called to it. II has the advantage Of being the
nearest to the great lake market, with which
it will be connected by the Sunbury and Enc
Railroad now under contract and in course of
completion from Erie to Ridgeway, with ee.
scending grade the whole way. The soil over
hitumnous coal is the best, for instance Eng.

time pay largely. This is important dc al,
immense coal trade will soon OPEN. -Four coal
companies have already been started to work
mil es in the vicinity, and there ale now fifteen
openings ound st. Mary's.

are the Sunbury and Erie, the AIloebany
Valley, the Pittsburg and Buffalo, and the
Venango. Energetic exertions are also being
made for the building of the Tyrone and Clear.

velopment, IS well as the coal, may be imagined.
