The ALLIES HAVE MOI YET BEEN TAKES.'-The

new conner INDUCING in laugh and making some
original commentary on the news. An occasional

HIGH PRICE OF REAL ESTATE-It is a matter OF
surprise that while general depression has existed
until recently in all kinds Of dividendpaying stocks
ard bonds, and while most kinds Of trades and BUSH
Desses ha we sensby felt the tightness of the money
market and have been in state OF stagnadon in con-
sequence, Il at during all this time the price of desir
able building lots in the City have not been affected
at al-tbat the prices have advanced rather than
ceded In truth they higher DOW than the widest
Spectator would have dreamed Of FIVE years ago.
few days since Mr.. Aoner Melien purchased On
Finh-av lot to build upon, believe 2sxlOo, for
the snug htte gum of sl4, 500. And now we observe
that Mr.. Amos R. Emo has purchased fourteen lots

of Twenty. third and Twenty-fourhsts, at cOst of
$4,000.
Mr. Emo, we believe, de- signs building costly dwell
ling upon one or two Of The lots for his occupancy
and will dispose of The balance to Others who able
and willing to go into the same luxury.
The secret of these high prices presume lies in the
fact that an idea prevails to certain extent that no
lots on the island fit to place magnificent structures
upon exceptthose situated upon the narrow strip lying
between Fourth and Sixth-avs and Tenth and Forti-
eth-sts This idea has become popular, and while its
popularity exists there wealthy individuals enough
in this great City seize upon all hai NAV be offered
for sale within these boundaries at exobtant prices.

and Mrs Eastman, went in bathing while the tide
was on the ebb and through ignorance or careessnes'
of this fact venured too far and carried out by
the undertow which is very powerful at certain times
on this beach. Two young men who chanced to be
near at hand succeeded in rescuing Mr.. Gibbons and
Miss Eastman, but Mr. Eliot and his daughter per-
hbed before assistance could reach them. The bodies
Of the deceased have Dot yet been recovered.
REcovERIsG-The Kingston Journal says Mrs.
Castle who, with Der infant, was accidentally slot at
