and are among the richest and most fertile in
the world They extend from North East and
North West, through the middle of the State
to the extTeu2e South, and include every variety
of climate and productions found between those
parallels Of latitude. The Northern portion is
chiefly prairie, interspersed with fine groves,
and in the middle and Southern sections timber
predominates. alternating with beautiful prai-

The climate is more healthy, mild and equa-
bic, than any other part Of the country-the air
is pure and bracng, while living streams ami
springs of excellent water abound.
Bltuminous Coal is extensively mined, and
supplies a cheap aud desirable fuel being fur

which the products of these lands can be trans
