REAL ESTATE The fact cannot be-
denied that the largest fortunes in this
land of panic5 aud promises, are those
that are anchored to lots and acres, and
while requiring the least attention and
anxiety are the last to feel financial de-
preston. It is tue that reDts may be
delayed or withheld, but nnfaithiul agents
cannot swamp The principal. In our
cities and growing towns, fabulous sums
have been amassed by lot-holders, who
trusted to the advance in prices which
knew an increased population mist nec-
css.ariIy cause. While real estate must
everywhere iEcrcsse iu value. Banks IN J

who has his fortunes Invested in the free
hold of the country, is safe from the eff

Republicans carried the Stale by II, 500
majority. The loss of almost IL 600 by
the Radicals in one year is terrible blow

selves in a New England State like Con-
