SOtd.--Sherif Armstrong sold at Whittield's
hotel in New Castle, on Thursday last The farm
OF Erastus Lodge, containing some 500 acres, to
Samuel Guthrie, ESQ.,, for $4,000, being
about 700 less than it was knocked off t
Cleaver d Co. at the former sale. From this
II seems that little was made in setting TIT
sale aside. The property was well advertised
all the creditors were present,but from the pan
ic or some other cause, bid could not be OBJ
tanned above the sum named.
The farm Of George A. Lee, containing
, nearly 200 acres, was sold TO Mrs. CatharinC
Simmons for $3.50, subject to mortgages
amounting to $1,000. The purchase of thi
! farm was an unfortunate speculation tor Mr.. Lee
We believe the price was either SIS, geo or 20,
} OoO, and OF this sum he paid 5000, leaving tn
balance on mortgage. A year ago he offered /
t return the farm aud sacrifice this $4,000 pail
) but the parties declined to accept the offer I'M
less he would pay the interest due. This Mr.
l." declined to do, and last spring sold ont hi
personal property, and put the money in hi
pocket. He has since occupied the PROF ert,
and made something out of 1t. The parties b
declining his Offer were mulcted into the She
IFS costs, and at the same time lost the prof
OF the hrin for the year, which taken altogell
J er was rather an unfortunate operation.
The property OF Thomas Downward WI
sold to VIM Bright, for 81 1896.
X. Z. Fraim, Esq, Attorney at Law, has r,
3 moved his office TO No. 700 French street, an
: he will hereafter devote his entire time and n
= tention 10 his profession, making Real Esta
i: and Conveyancing specially. In most Of OIL
1 large cities certain attorneys make one brauc
!, OF the law specially. By so doing, an alto
q ney becomes perfectly familiar with the entir
| minute OF that particular branch. The exam
ination OF titles to lands, and the Preparation
/ the necessary instruments OF writing to convt
v property, and also TO secure MONEYS loaned
become liens on Real Estate, is a very impo
:, tant consideration to persons purchasing Re
" Estate, and to those loaning money on Re
,, Estate securities. A large proportion of tn
u business heretofore, on account of no attorn,
-. making special business of this branch of Il
70 law, has been intrusted to men styling then
|
= tie bar and who are incompetent TO make
IT, 10 thorough examination Of the Records of /,
10 county for titles, or for liens against Real
y tate. The simple copying Of a deed from
other, with simple change Of the parties of Il
st hrst and second part, may be performed by al
10 persoi who can write ligble hand, but it
IN certainly very dangerous business for pu
is chaser OF Real Estate to receive deed for pr
it perty, without having the legal title of the We
ey dor examined by person thoroughly famili
10 with the County Records, and 1t Is equally il
ed portant to those who make loans on bond oil
D. mortgage, that such loans should be secure
ls- made. And we think the time has arriy
as when we should have at least one legal gent
to man In this city, who will give special attenti
to this branch the law. Whilst Mr.. Frai
Will attend to the ordinary .duties of an Att,
e. ney, he oilers his services specially to perso
W, purchasing Real Estate, or making loans thei
n. on, and to Executors and Administrators ha
u charge OF the settlement of estates of perso
Tn deceased. From Mr.. Fraim's experience a.
ng familiarity with the Records Of the County dl
&c, ing his term Of Register of Wills Of New Cas-
wv county, he Is certainly well qualified to p
el form the duties TOR which he offers his prof
las sional services, and we trust he NAV receive
ny liberal patronage from the public.
