TWEED FOLLOWING WOODWARD'S EX-
AMPLE.-A real estate agent told 1ri-
buae reporter, on Saturday, that most OF
William NJ. Twced's purchases were made
at extravagaut prices. Like his colleague
Mr.. Connolly, in several instances he paid
fully fifty per cent. more for his property
than any man whose money had been hon
csty earned would have done, and Il SINH
lar percentage more than there was any ne
cessity for. But the prOdigality OF his pur-
chases bears no comparison with his more
recent transfers, which, amounting to &4,-
600, 900, are as reckless and tlimsy . they
are transparcntly dishonest.
On Thursday he conveyed to his aspir-
ing son Richard, in consideration OF $780,
600, twenty-five acres aud ten and n half
perches at Fort Washington, which he
bought from General Daniel Butterlicld,
March 10, 1869, for S275,0OO, and which
has sweled considerably in value since
thic time. A second deed is recorded the
same day, conveying the property from
young Tweed TO the 'Pottier and Stymua
Manufacturing Company" This trans
action has Il strong Ilavor of Woodward's s
Norwalk manipulatinns, and it is possible
/ that the duiaultcr suggested the idea to his
! master. The next instrument is also is
| sued on THURSDAY. and is n modest token
OF patcrnal generosity, in the shape of Il
conveyance of the land described as fol-
lows, Tor S20O,0O0 the exact price for
which it was purchased Sept. 80, lS6S,
from Robert ii. Ackenburg W's Of Eighth
ave. and Fifty-eighth ST. and "Ihe Circle.n

The Circle" II. 4.lOtX33.2a 5. W. corner

perty has been augmented since ]. became
VIM. NJ. Tweod's all who are Mt all con
vcrsant with the status Of city real estate
will readily appreciate.
The lonrth deed, recorded August 10th,
1871, dsposes of his Fifth avenue residence
and the lands Immediately adjoining 10 his
son for a consideration Of S2i5,O 900, This
property he bought July IS, 1870, from
Benjamin. l. Trask for S225 900, and has
"improvedn IL AT an expense Of many thou
sand dollars. As in the other instances
the property has increased immensely il
value, aud il will be understood that th,
original prices paid for the lands conveyed
on The dates we have cited were not char
acterized by the recklessness Of other o
Tweed's purchases,
