REAL ESTATE NOTES.

The syracuse Real Estate Journal for August fur
nishes the following report OF operations IN that
county during the previous month ana observations
on the prospects of the market, many OF which are
equally applicable here:-
Business operations during the summer months
are, as general thing, comparatively suspended In
all sections, and but little is done until the cool
ter and the return OF the crops bring renewed acti-
with real estate with everything else, and,
where we had two months ago brisk trade,
the month or July has witnessed general depres-
sion and IisteSsness, II we may SO term 1t, purely
characteristic OF the season. Like everything else
1t cannot endure to keep up the excitement when
the mercury points of the nineties in the shade and
30 relapses into q state Of quiet ana undsturbed
gravity. When we come to look at the figures
which are said to never lie, mud the difference
between June and July even to be somewhat pro-
dlglous. In June the sales announced to $4l7,504
good sum Tor the season, ana quite q nattering ex.
hibt In July we find the sales have amounted TO
ss435s In the county and $4,000 In the city, is
shown by the following table, drawn from the books
of the County Clerk

IUIdI. '....s..s..s % SaJ 5vy OF IT, TO 10
Here we have q much smaller exhibit than for
June; but, strange as It may seem, there is good
demand for property. True. it is going on quietly
and easily but still there many seeking sales for
their real estate and dwellings. Building Is not SO
to believe that the property Will in many localities
hold firm at present. There Is an average demand
for tenements, confined almost exclusively, how
ever, to strangers from abroad, who have come TO
city with the intention OF ultimately buying and
making this their permanent home. In looking over
the county we are led to believe the demand for
farm trades this fall will be above the average.

The Wool TRADE-The New York
Commercial List pays its attention at
length to the wool trade, and shows by
figures that at no time during the last
fifteen years has that trade been SO
depressed and unremunerative as during
the past year Commission aud jobbiug
dry goods houses are still we'll stocked
with wooden goods, and most descriptions

addition to which, large amounts are

prices. Two.thirds Of the mills are

Very Singular will--Novel Inarmary

The Columbus, Ohio, Journal Of May
22d, says Yesterday we heard Of and read
part Of the most sim ular will on record.
The maker Of the will is represented TO be q
shrewd, successful business man, who has
accumulated quite large fortune. He ex.
hibits no other signs Of insanity than may
be derived from the extreme eccentricity Of
his will, although ii Is probable the courts
will, in due course be called upon to deter
mine the question whether the testator was
OF sound and disposing mind.
The will disinherits all the natural heirs
OF the maker OF It, and devises the entire
property In trust for the establishment OF
an in6rmary for cats. A most elaborate
architectural plan for the necessary buildings
is attached to and made part Of the will
II provides areas for that sweet amatory
converse so dear to the feline heart, and
rat holes OF the most ravishing nature, To
be kept well stocked. The most ingenious
contrivances are provided for securing to
the rat chance to escape, so that the cats
may not loose the pleasures OF the chase
BY finding their prey come too easily
High walls are to be built with gently slop.
ing roofs, for moonlight promenade and
other nocturnal amusemen's OF the CATS
The trustees are directed to select the
grounds for this novel intrmary in the most
popnlous part OF some American city, and
the devises are TO be protected By compe'
tent force OF nurses from the ravages OF men
anu dogs. No person OF the male sex Is
ever to be admitted within the walls and no
female who has children or is under thirty
years Old. There are hundreds OF minute
directions which we have no time to note.
One would suppose that in the foregoing
provisions the testator had exhausted all
the eceentrcities OF one man, however uni,

Hoa. Rsvsrdy johnson has returned

Hon. Reverdy johnson has returned
homo from England. The City Council
Of Baltimore have determined to honor
their distinguished citizen by a public
reception aud banquet We are pleased
TO note this marx Of respect towards
him. Mr.. johnson has never been Il
political favorite with us, but we have
given him credit for his great legal at
tainments. As a politician his course
has been somewhat eccentric and cratic,
but va arc now TO view him simply as
adiplomatist. As such his brief career,
from its commencement to its close, has
been remarkable. It will be remembered
that his appointment was confirmed
unanimously; and thus endorsed, by
political friend aud foe and thoroughly
furnished with ample instructions from
the subtle Seward, he went forth upon
his mission with much prestige, and
entered upon the work before him with
an earnest zeal which was highly CON-
mendable, and which promised to be
crowned with success. There were
many perplexing questions pending be-
tween our Government and the Court
Of St. james. But, he seemed resolved
to master them all /; and so far succeeded
as to negotiate a treaty full Of promise
toward such result. But, strange to
tell, the Senate which had confirmed
his appointment with so much unan.
unity, almost unanimously rejected his
work, and the Republican press opened
its batteries upon him at all points
Mr.. johnson having been thus enfiladed
by his enemies, it is right and proper
that an opportunity should be afforded
him to spike their guns. This he will
doubtless proceed to do, at the corpora
ton dinner soon to come off in the Mon.
umental City, and we look forward to
bis vindication Of himself against his
assailants with more than the ordinary
interest in such matters. If he does
not WELD against them his rhetoric's
keenest point, We shall be deceived, for
certainly they deserve it, and the occa-
sion should call it forth.

New UsE OF OLD PosrAoE STAMPS.
"A correspondent Of the London Globe
says the children in the schools Of Der.
lin and throughout North Germany are
making great collections Of old stamps
to remit to Protestant missionary in
order to be sent to China by way Of
Australia. The Chinese are fond of
papering their rooms with these stamps,
so the missionaries sell them to redeem
young children, especially girls, who
are afterwards baptized. In China the
little girls are often treated like pup.

river in order to get rid Of them. The
