( In considering the advantages of emigratine
to this locality the following are presented:
First-The soil isa rich limestone, CAPABLE
of raising the heaviest crops, owing to which
this settlement has attained its prcFent great
prosperity.
Second-It is in the centre Of the great
North West Coal Basin and is destined soon
to become one of the greatest business places
IN the State. 1t viii supply the great Lake
market, (according to population and travel
the greatest in the Union.) 1t has FIVE worka-
BILE veins of the best Bituminous Coal, amount

makes - 900 tous of coal under each acre
This will n'ake the land of inestimable value.
The eminent state geologist, Dr. Chas 7

ore and the limestone. This report, together

fered to the man who wants to provide himself
home in an easy way, and make a settlement
where he can live ia prosperity and indepen-
dence 10 climate PERFECTLY HEALTHY
No case of the fever has ever been known to
occur IN this settlement. Itisinot like going to
the backwoods of the west, among perhaps
iitoierant people, where there is no society
churches OF schools, where the price of land is
nigh, and where the emigrant, after being used
to the healthiest climate in the world, has TO
endure sickness aud pain, and perhaps ruin his
health and that OF his family. But here is a
thriving settlement, having three towns, CON
tanning churches, schools, hotels, stores, saw
mills grist mills, and every tnine desired. -
There is & cash market al hand. The lumber
trade last year amounted to over two hundred
million feet Of lumber. In short time. ow-

starting them extensively at Warren. Even
