Her coal and iron eperations have given ner world wide fame and the discovery of oil in the western portion of the State added another to the number of her great and overshadowing in The products of her sou nave stooa unrivalled in the markets of the world because of the regularity of the yield, its uniform excellence anil superior quality, and it is as ing community that our people have laid the foundation lor inai wonucriui prugrcoa, has challenged admiration at home and abroad.

Farms ranging from ten to one hundred acres are found in many counties, while a few contain farms of from two to five hundred acres. The largest landed estate in tho Commonwealth and devoted almost entirely to farming purposes, is that situated at Cornwall, Lebanon county, and Speedwell, Lancaster county, and columns TWENTY TWO THOUSAND ACBKS. It is owned by the heirs of Robert W. and William Coleman. The residence of the proprietors is at Cornwall, six miles south of Lebanon, and is reached over the Cornwall turnpike, rohablv the finest road in the State, on wnicn uot a stone or a rut can be seen.

This farm is not divided into distant tracts, but is one con tiguous body, and comprises about acres of woodland, 105i acres of iron ore, known as the Cornwall Ore Hills, while the remainder is in the highest state of cultivation. Some idea of its extent may be tornica irom uiu ini uu it would occupy the better part of three days to drive round it. There are about fifty miles of roud traversing the estate and in daily use. uns of these roads has a continuous length or oyer TKora ara unffnwd 111 tUB (UreCllOn and control of this estate one Manager in Chief with six assistants under him, while me tenantry compose a body of about one thousand mcu, women and children. Hundreds of the best draught horses and roadsters and the choicest strains of cattle aud sheep can here be seen, while stock raising is a specialty.

For the purpose of maintaining a supply of fii horses, the old Speedwell forgo property, iu Lancaster county, distant seven mile3 from Cornwall, has been converted intoa The fin M. which in days long eone by, furnished the iron market of that era i.fT.I. a i uiril Hl Blllin IS HI1W IUbM ui uiuiuuvi ing ruins, the walls overgrown wuu uinoo ivy and tue water power owim irrigation to the land.

The chief attraction at Speedwell is ito magnificent stud at the head of which stands "iliddletown," a half brother or tne famous Dexter.

The choicest strains ot cattle and sheep though raised here, are sent to Cornwall.

Among the former class at this place are the celebrated nr nn OF IIOT.STEIS CATTLE. There are but two herds in the Vnited States, ni r.imarkable for their beauty, which consists in their deep black color about the head, neck, rump and legs, while round the centre of their bodies runs a broad, snow white lu.lt.. fiiimn have broader belts thau others, oc i.ooi.iieil liv thfl action of our climate. The this stronecontrastof color is beautiful in the extreme, especially when the animals are browsing on some held ot neu, green grass. Next to' these iu good looks are the Alderucy These are irenerally of a delicate fawn color, lithe in limb and body, and at a distance bear a strong resemblance 10 me ueer.

11 ia the handsome Alderneys that yield the rich ilk mid the ffolden butter, and of them it niav with truth be said, "they are worth their irni. litin mild." The lovers ot good mutton ccuriiere have their eyes regaled by the sight of the elegant "Southdown," and if he is a guest nt Cornwall he will have his palate tickled with a taste of this same excellent meat. Nor in tliia that this bis farm can boast. There is an orchard here that supplies the owners with all the fruit they want, and that last year gave evury man who worked by the mouth 011 the place a bushel of apples and a of cider. Pears, peaches, plums and quinces, are cultivated, while the gardens of the owners, the manager and his assistants, pnntnin the best L'nuie vine', strawberry, rasp berry and melon patches, and vegetables of all kinds 111 prolusion.

There are thousands of bushels of wheat, rye, outs aud corn raised on this estate. Much is sold, but the greater part is houseel and used, Wheat aud corn is sent to their mill to be sup nlieil to emnlovees and employer. Every em ployee on this estate gets a bushel of flour from the Cornwall grist mill bushel, no matter what the market price may be, and the coru is sold at a similar proportionate rate. A store supplies the employees who choose to buy there, all they need, for these men are paid in cash. There is no order given ou anybody or firm in payment of wages.

A post office neatly fitted up with open and lock boxes, all duly numbered and located in a building that would do credit to Pcun street, furnishes convenient mail facilities to the people. The water supply for the houses of the proprietors and the managers, is a reservoir into which the water is pumped, and from which it runs by gravitation into their several houses. The tenantry are supplied with water from natural springs and wells. The water is soft and pure. That part of the estate located at Cornwall, is of a gently undulating character, loamy and easily cultivated.

There is a greut deal of limestone in the soil, which is used at the furnaces iu bulk, and on the soil in shape of lime. Sandstone is also found in epuantities, and all the buildings at this place are constructed of it, except the store and the boilers of the furnaces. The stock and casting houses of the new furnaces are built of this material. There is an extensive brickyard on the farm at Cornwall which makes all the brick used lor building purposes in that vicinity, because it is able to furnish them cheaper thau the regular manufacturers. Their own carpenters (To all the house and woodwork wanted ia the neighborhood, so that it may be consistently said of the estate that it is a close corporation.

Id the course of time, we doubt not, the music of the loom and spindle may yet be heard at Cornwall aud when that day conies it will be as complete a world as that which surrounds it, while it will be entirely independent of outside help to further its projects. Besides this farm the estate owns 1,425 acres in York county, known as the Castle Finn property, and, in Cockney phrase, a "shooting box" on Lake Saranac, in northern New York, tin among the Adirondack. Here, in past years, one of its former owners passed many a pleasant hour hunting deeraud fishing for trout 111 company with his personal friends. Another large farm called Colebrook, which belonged to the ancestor of the present proprietors aud has by the death of the previous owners become separated in ownership, once formed part of this huge estate. There are charcoal furnaces here but they have not been in blast for many years, the farm being exclusively used for agricultural purposes.

Furnace and Dutch creeks are the rather prosaic names of the natural streams which (low through the estate and supply the house reservoirs, boilers of the steam grist mill and the furnaces, and a watering station which feeds tha locomotives on the Cornwall Riiilroad, a private enterprise that transports coal and limestone to Cornwall, aud takes away the pig iron mid iron ore. In another article we shall refer nt length to tho ore mines, furnace operations and railroad faeilities which makes this estate one of the most completely equipped establishments in the country. We leave the big farm here with the remark that lie who desires to sec farming in all its departments carried on even to a thoroughly organized dairy, will find their wishes abundantly gratified at Cornwall and Speedwell.

Ia the appended list there are 28 State fairs for various purposes announced, 6 have already taken place and there may possibly be some omitted owing to the fact that the announcements were not sufficiently published. To all classes of citizens who have anything worthy of note to exhibit this annual expositions are of unusual interest. The farmer can here display the products of the sou and dairy, show the superiority ot his stock, and the science ot agriculture, the me chanic may exhibit specimens ot his skill ana industry, the manufacturer una a marxet ior his wares, the housewife contribute much to the success otthe fair by sending in samples 01 her handiwork, ana the fair thus become a school of instruction imparting valuable lnlorma tion to observing visitors of all olasses.

18 Nat'l Poultry 111., Jan 20 28,76 Wcsterve It's Life Sketched by Himself Yesterday William Westervelt testified in own behalf in the Philadelphia Court of jar tcr Sessions. The preliminary portion ofh examination referred to hia age, his early life, his marriage and his business, and his answers were given readily and with but lew "hitches. It appeared from his testimony that he had un dergone a varied experience, lie had mon boiler maker in New York, had been to New Orleans, and San irancisco, had served in th army as an engineer during the war, and had also been a member of the New York police force, and a seller of "mothee besides being party to one of the most interesting and im portant court trials ot recent date. His dismissal from the police force In Jauu ary, 1S74, was rehearsed. The oharge on which he was dismissed, he said, was for failing to re port a lottery cthce under Its proper number but the actual cause r.f his dismissal was his refusal to subscribe $10 for a political purpose At this point there was a pause in the examination, and Judge Elcock spoke to Mr.

Ford, re nuesting that proceedings might be expedited as much as possible. Mr. Ford responded that he would lose no time unnecessarily, but this was a very important witness, and be desired to examine him very carefully. Westervelt's removal to Philadelphia after the police force, his discouragements while in search of employment here, and the effort to ssll improved gas burners, were next rehearsed, the whole time of his residenoe hei until his return to New York with his family April, being gone over. Then followed a recital of the vain search for employment in New York, and the attempt in to make money Dy the sale 01 moth pow der.
