Country Property Sales fCv tie Week.
We have now reached the season OF suburban
| sales; hence there may be found in the various
newspapers which look to TINS sort OF thing for sup
port long columns Of advertisements and notices,
announcing to the world that such ana such place
| Is heaven.
TO take any less figure we feel would DO libel on
tho advertiser, who evidently aimed at producing
just this impressions; otherwise he would have men,
toned some Of the dlsqualncations OF the pac, he
Was willing to advance to the level OF Paradise.

any in New YORK. The fact is ne and his associates
are really building new town Of milestone In the
same spirit that stewart Is building up Hemp
stead Besides ne has this advantage over Stewart,
That whereas the latter has to wait for means OF
rapid communication with the city to be established,

equal to any trans faubouTg belonging to the
metropolis. In connection With this matter, we
