Great Sale of Real Estate. One OF the
greatest sales of the season Will lake place
on Saturday next, the 18th inst, at hali-pasl
. O'Clock, in the afternoon, on the promises :,
in this city II consists of pleasant new
mode.colored cottage situated on the Ken
nett turnpike. II is neat, new building, :
eligiby located, with fine surroundings, and ..
much 10 commend il to any person wishing !
10 secure Il comfortable suburban home; also
a large tract of ground laid off in lots and
squares, on Broom, Rodney Clayton, Lin- !
coin, Union, dupont, and other newly laid
out streets III that locality. These lots are
the most beautiful and attractive that nave
been offered for some time past. They are
situated in section of the city that has long
been noted as being extremely healthy and
famed for the elegant view it presents
of the country, rivers and picturesque
scenery that everywhere greets tie eye ior
miles around. We consider the lots front
| ing on Broom Street particularly, as aeclu-
edly the very finest on the schedule, and must
command spirited bidding on the day OF sale
The City Park and Basin also add much to
the value of this property. To any person
wishing to erect a home on spot winch
| gives them the advantage of pure, fresh,
| wholesome all, and at the same time he withm
q short walk of the city proper, there Is no
locality that we know of that equals II IN
point of value. Much attention has been
given to laying off each part in manner and
size deemed best adapted to the various re-
quirements, wants and means OF purcha- |
sers; and those who are acquainted with
such matters, will be struck with the excel |
lent Judgment displayed by the owners and
the success which has attended their efforts
, in this particular. No auction sale in this
city has ever offered so mach tirst-cass pro
perty, such general variety of sizes and
locations, or similar inducements TO pur-
, chasers either for their own use and resi-
dence, for good safe investment, or Tor
5 certainty in speculation, especially at
/ this period in the history of Wilmington,
\ when the most unerring indications point TO
I that portion a. one that in few years will
/ be the most valuable part Of the city. There
4 can be no question that the period is near al
i hand when Wilmington will take start in
. commercial enterprise, that will result IN
), doubling her population within the next fit
q teen years Commerce will drive the denizens
= to the hills, that surround us. Wisdom would
" therefore urge those who have the means,
v to procure site for a home in that section
now, while il can he purchased at low
e price and on reasonable terms The terms
r OF sale are easy:-For the lots, approved
q notes, equally divided at three and SIX

O one half in mortgage, the balance in

of is seldom that such advantageous terms are

es sites, and We shall be disappointed il this
ID property does not sell readily.
