village has been -fayorably noticed. And
though by no meahz:a city ih proportions
yet We can offer probably greater iindsse.
Rents than any other point mentioned in
this connection. As . few of the advant-
ages we may meLtion: 5-,-rI.i-. ~
FIRST. We are located at the junction of
the @. & p. C. o. and B & o. Railrosds,
and upon the Ohio River. thus offering
facilities fer the transportation of supplies
or m anufactured articles to the fo6r points
of the compass in the shorest possible time.
Second. The hessiiy simbered hills of our
own .couosy offer an, amost insxhs sussible
supply Of the choicest timber for manu- inci-
ing, while aAe phie River opens up to US
the immense 4imbered. lands tor hundreds of
miles on either shore, which can be rated
and transported hiiher ats merely nominal
cost. The sreat jmporlance of this essy
access to timber siH be fell shen, we state

the mine, can be made to open withinsthe
prison enclosure, thus enabling them to
work the miae by cOnsict labor. Fuel in
this way will be procured at a cost-exceed-
ing 5oc, per ton, and the. supply of coal is
sufficisntas lasts HUNDREDS OF yeorss
fourth. The same land iabounds in a
superior article of building stone, and fire
clay, which can be had for the mere cost of
quarying.s Building materials Of all kinds
are conyenien, and cheap. .E:ne and sand
Of superior quality are on the ground, and
