REAL ESTATE MATTERS.

peculiar feature Of interest in the real estate
market yesterday was the sale of Westchester prop
erty by A.. ]. Bleecker, Son & Co., and which at
tracted considerable attendance at the Exchange
Salesroom. These lots are situated in the town OF
Inwood, and located on streets and avenues, which
is proposed to lay out. There seemed to be quite
an anxiety among the audience at the sale to obtain
them and bidding throughout was quite lively ana
spirited. Good prices were obtained. The market
generally is dull.

CARRYING THE MAILs.-A number Of in
dignant citizens of Austin, New. recently
got up burlesque representation of the
manner in which Wells, Fargo & Co. are
carrying the U. S. Mails. They procured an
old stage, loaded it with torn sacks stuffed
with old letter envelopes, newspapers, etc.,
drove it through the streets, and finally
stopped in front of the Post Office. The
route Of the stage could be traced by the en-
velopes and papers that fell from the dilapi.
dated sacks. The remainder of the cargo
was dumped in the mud in front of the Post
Office the bags burst open and their con.
tents were scattered about promiscuously, to
the great disgust of the Company's agent,
who was standing by and recognized the
point of the joke. No greater swindle was
ever perpetrated on any people than that now
inflicted by Wells, Fargo & Co. on the people
of this coast, by their shameful violation of
the terms of their overland mail contract.

A MUSCULAR CHRIsrIAN-The San Jose

dent:
The Rev. Mr.. jones, Of Mayfeld. was at
tackled, few days ago. by large New
foundland dog, an animal of very danger
GUS character. and which had become the
terror of the people passing along. As the
dog sprang Mt MIR. jones, he grasped him
tightly with both hands around the neck,
and held him at arms length from him.
Then fixing his eyes upon the eyes Of the dog,
Mr.. Jones kicked him soundly for consid
siderable time, until he began to show signs
of being vanquished. He then let bis fore
feet gradually down to the earth. and releas-
ing one hand from the throat of the brute,
he bagan to rub and pat him on the head
On releasing the dog and walking away, he
followed Mr.. Jones affectionately and kindly;
be seems to be cured of the propensity to
spring at passers by.

suspicious looking characters have made
their appearance in this vicinity lately, and

School LANDS We believe it is not gen.
orally known that the last Legislature passed
law requiring all persons holding School,
Swamp or State lands, purchased of the
State, to pay up all interest in arrears before
January lst. 1869, and also the interest for
1860, in advance. In default Of such pay
ments, the District Attorney will be notified
to commence suits to annul the titles of de-
linquents. As there are number of per
sons in this county who are interested in this
matter, it would be we'll for them to lose no
time in securing their titles.

Gigantic Monopolies.

When franchises were granted to the Cen
trail and Union Pacific Railroad companies to
construct railroad from the Missouri to
the Pacific coast, the general public merely
thought Of the enterprise as the building of a
single main line from Omaha to Sacramento.
But the companies obtaining the franchises
were looking farther. Recent developments
have unfolded their plans to the public, and
| it is now pretty certain that neither company
will make Salt Lake the terminus of their
road. The Central Pacific. when it reaches
Salt Lake, will be continued on in a south
erly direction, through Colorado and Kansas.
and strike the Missouri about St. Joseph =
From this main trunk tbe.company will ulti-
mately extend branches into Arizona, New
Mexico. and perhaps reach the Gulf of Mex
leo through Texas. From Salt Lake the
Union Pacific Company will extend their
road to Puget Sound. with branches, one Of
which may enter this State by way of the
BeckwouIth or Lassen Pass Thus it ap-
pears that these corporations are bound to
develop into the most gigantic monopolies
ever witnessed in the Western Hemisphere.
But then it is evident that nothing short of a
great combination of capital can ever COM
plete the immense railway system necessary
to develop the mineral and agricultural re-
sources of the Western and Pacific States and
Territories. Great monopolies may be an
evil, but those alluded are also bound to
bring mighty benefits in their train. Mind
can scarcely conceive of the treasures of gold
and silver, besides baser metals, which the
building of these roads will open up, while
agriculture will cause the wilderness to bloom
like the rose.
