REAL EsTATE.-The business in real estate
has been hvelier during the past summer than
it has been for many years past the sales and
exchanges in city property have been more
numerous than ON any forme occasion. Sales
of real estate are taking place every week on
the east, west, and north sides, every week.
The prices paid for building BITS are averaging
higher than at any time heretofore. LOts
3Oxl20 are being sold at prices averaging from
$3.50 tS8l 200, and only from three to four
miles from the city.
SANITARY MATTERS. health of the
city is better. and although the death rate
may have somewhat increased. there is moth
ing to complain Of The dread scourge, the
cholera, has not, IS yet. made its appearance
among US, and all necessary precaution has
been taken to prevent its spread, through the
city, should we be 30 unfortunate ~ to be Wis
tied by it. The sanitary condition Of the city
is all that can be desired under the circum-
stances
DEATH oF An ESTEEMED CITIZEN. MIR
Wm Gilbert, well known to our citizens 40
an enterprislng. upright, industrious and hon
est man, died at his residence on last Friday
week after q painful illness, which he bore
with great fortitude
BUILDINGS are some very fine
buildings going up in the ;ity at the present
time Those on the Campus MArtius. Girls
void street, and ON COngsss street, are deci-
dedly handsome. Building in the suburbs is
also quite brisk, and they are presenting quite
an improved appearance.
BUSINESS. Up TO the present time business
in the shipyArds has been quite brisk, but at
the present writing it in somewhat slack. In
the foundries and machine shops it is gener-
ally good. yet in all departments there is room
for Improvement. Money in still close, al
though easier than it was in the spring.

ment. II now devolves upon the acting may.
or to send in the nams of successor TO the
late fire marshal, Williams. We cannot but
feel in common with the rest of our fellow
citizens, feeling Of great anxiety a. to who
will nil that very important position Our
anxiety arises from no desire or feeling to sat
lsty any clique or corporation. To such par
ties We have no such favors to grant, and ex-
pect none from them We only desire to see
the right man IN the right place In = pSs-
vious issue Of the ADVOCATE We set forth the
claims Of Mr.. Matt. Benner, the very able,
energetic and efficient acting chief We are
aware that the claims Of others have been
and will he urged, and from various stand
points, both Of a political and private nature
But the honorable acting mayor should, as we
believe he will, hold the lives of our citizens
and the safety of their property far above all
and every private and political consideration
The chief marshalshiD of this department
is position different from that Of any other
city in the Union. He has to attend all fires,
whether by day or night, and superintend,
and there are yet vast number Of our citi-
zens who are not ensconced behind marble,
granite, or brick wall and to I'll e se the matter
Of competent aud energetic chief is of the
highest consideration. 1t is the wish of the
great majority of these that the now acting
chief be promoted to fill the existing vacancy
They have confidence in his skill, ability and
integrity; they know he has been tried, and
found equal to all emergencies
In regard to the charges which were reiter-
sted by some Of the daily press, it need only
be added that full and perfect REPUTATION Of
the same, and vindication Of the coursa
which Mr. Benner pursued on that memora-
BILE occasion will be found in the report of the
investigating committee, which Was appoint
ell to investigate the whole affair We would
suggest to his honor acting mayor not to 20
outside the department to hnd a "chef"
qualifications for the position. He has &C
CURED them through a long experience He
has the respect and confidence of the men in
the department. and besides, he has the con
hdence Of the general business men and the
citizens at large. Such an appointment would
indicate the independent course the acting
mayor intends to pursue towards rings and
ehques of any and all descriptions, and would
be hailed by all our citizens as a good omen
for the future

The BEDoRTHA CIGAR BoARD.-This Board
il the invention Of L. L. Bedortha, Of Wind
sor, Conn. and possesses many advantages over
the old boards, which will be apparent TO a
practical cigar maker at glance. Among the
many advantages which it possesses may be
mentioned the following 1t is constructed Of
hard maple blocks, firmly joined together by
iron bolts, which run the entire length of the
board, and are secured at the ends by means
Of nuts. The blocks being Kindred, and
filed with oil and varnish, prevents the
possibility of sweating, which 50 frequent
ly happens in hgnumvitae, rosewood, and
other kinds Of boards, also preventing chip
ping" thereby always presenting clean,
smooth hard surface, enabling the workman
to turn off finer finished cigar than can be
done on any other board in use. All practi-
cal cigar makers who have seen these boards
pronounce them to be the NE PLUS ULTRA Of
all boards now in use See advertisement In
our advertising columns.

RECIPES, &C.

PEPPER MANGoEs. put up in tho
same way, using green peppers that are
full-grOwn, but not tinged with red.
They are very good, but your fingers will
smart after thrusting them into the pep
pers to pull out the seeds. For this pur-
pose | have used, first, n small penknife, to
cut the core from its attachment to the
stem end of the pepper, then a smooth bit
of stitch, to pry open the slit in the side and
work out the loose core or bunch of seeds.
BY the exercise of little ingenuity you
may spare yourself all suffering from this
cause. Should your fingers burn badly,
anoiut them with sweet-oil and wear gloves
that night. Cream will also allow the
smart.

MR. EDITOR: had sight OF the pa.

and I believe it will effectually cure fence
jumping horses, mules and cattle from
that pernioious habit. You have only to
make strong hoad-part of bride, will,
good throat-latch and nose-bnnd, sizea-
bic enough to mnke large or small as the

have complete stock yoke. Take away
the iron, and apply reins to the rings OF
the bit, and you have bride; tahe away
the reins, and attach rope or leather
strap to the ring. and you have O halter.
The great secret OF tho yoke lies-in the
upper and short piece Of iron, acting as
garote to the throat Of the animals
when they attempt to go over even
