This work Is an attractive series OF accurate
and lfc-like pictures Of some Of the most emf
nent women of our time, giving an authentic
and attractive record of the lives and achieve
ments Of many who have distinguished them
selves in the various &C ipations and condi.
tions in life, and will tend to devclope and
strengthen correct ideas respecting the infiu
ence of woman and her sphere in the privi-
leges and responsibilities of life. We have
READ no book Of late of more absorbing inter
est While much has been written. both by
and for women, yet this series of works sup
plies a field which has not hitherto been occu-
pied.
The November number Of Peterson's Maya.
zine is already on our table. 1t has beauti-
ful steel engraving, "The Messenger of Love-"
illustrating a powerfully written story. The
colored steel fashion-plate is one of the most
beautiful we have ever seen even in this teste-
full magazine. There is also pattern for a
Tidy, to be worked in Java canvas, printed in
the appropriate colors; this alone is worth the
| price of the number The literary centents

ber we have the prospectus for 1870 The

REAL ESTATE TRANsFERs-Among the list
of deeds received at the Recorders Office since
our last publication. are some in this village
that demand something more than the brief
notice there given. The residence of Horace
Dunbar, on Prospect Street. has been sold TO
Mrs. d. W. Haskell, for the sum of $4,000, and
possession already given, while Mr.. Dunbar
has removed to his handsome new house just
completed, farther up the Ridge, and opposite
his vineyard. The old E. r. Williams place
| Tr;n la Do
in the possession of George Latin, has been
purchased by p. F. Good with the intention
as we learn, of clearing away for the building
of good brick residence for his own use
This will make quite row of brick houses in
that neighborhood, there being already COM
pleted and occupied those of Maj. Prentice, E,
Hall and Z. r. Williams, all first class build
ings.
Beside these and not upon the list is a sale
of George Green's place, opposite the Haskell
purchase, to Theo Hall, for $4,000. The house
having just been rebuilt, Mr.. Green having
bought the Knapp farm of something over 80
acres, on the South Ridge east, near the town
line,.for the sum of $1,000. The property was
owned by Mr.. Beebe. This is said to be one
of the best farms in the neighborhood. An
other sale, is an out farm of 20 acreas, lying in
Saybrook, by NJ W. Dale, for $4,000, to Mr..
Sinclair. Another sale still is the Mil Site of
George Amidon, with some two or three acres
of land, lying in Plymouth, upon Ashtabula
Creek, to p. H. Watson, Esq. This site is, we
suppose, decidedly the most valuable one upon
the stream, made SO from the peculiarly of
the creek. which, after two or three miles me-
andering doubles upon itself, within, perhaps
two or three hundred feet, giving in that length
of descent, all the fall that is needed for drl-
wing machinery. The consideration has not
transpred.
