Tor the lIth inst, Of the real estate which be
lohSed to the estate Of the late Henry Icav
cnworth, Esq, went of with great spirit ant
success The executor, Francis Wilson. Eso
had made good arrangements to produce such
result. The several lots had been distinctly
marked out aud numbered, Il neat man of tn,
| property had been prepared and freely dis.
tributcd, and the sale had been fairly adycr.
used. The services Of Il competent and gen.
tIemanly auctionccr, practiscd in sales Of
that kind, Isaac II. Wright, ESD, Of boston,
had been secured. Carriages were literally
provided for the conveyance Of all who wished
to attend, and to save inconvenience and de-
lay, generous dinner for all who wished to
partako was provided in the open air ON one
Of the pleasant lots Of the property. The
weather was also suspicious.
The entire amount Of sales was nearly $40. p
600. Though in some instances the prices
brought was not quite what those Interested
in the estate would have been glad to receive.
on the whole, we understand, they were graf
flied with the result. The lots lying ON the
face and top Of the hill, and 50 southwark
towards the lodges, brought from $50 to
$500 Icr acre. Some favored SPOT, brought
something more. The principal purchasers
were u. y. Howard II. +. llickok, 5. Wires.
d. B. Buckley, W. II. Root. and Ira II. Al
len, Esqrs. The farm in the north part Of
the town was bought by j. b. Wheeler. ESQ.
at low rate, 'S23 per acre. The PRINCIPAL
buyer OF the property in the heart Of the VII
lago was W. c. Root, as agent for an other
party. The property is worth double the
price 1t was bid of for. lie bought the Lea
vcnworth Block for 5000 The new Store
now occupied by Mr.. Doolittlc as Il Hardware
store, was bought by l.. c. Ferris ESD. of
New York. for $4,000. That purchase
must prove n valuable Investment to the
owner. Mr., Kern bought the house in
Catlin's Lane and two acres on Cliff st. The
property was well distributed, and from see
lug into whose hands some Of the property has
fallen, we look for an accession Of rood in
habltnnts to the town before long.
Burlington has suffered for many Years
from the Fact that large amounts of land. adj

held by persons who believed it quite too val
