ScHLIEMANN FINDS THE City OF Ulysses
DR.. Schliemann has been digging over the is
land of Ithaca, and fatters himself that he has
found the Homeric capital, where the wise
Ulysses dwelt. 1t is not in the valley of Polls.
where it has been located itherto, but on the
rugged sides of Mount Aetos, whose top he
finds has been leveled off and extended by fill
ing iu above cyclopean walls SO as to afford
space for mansion and courtyard, while some
1000 houses, he estimates, were contained with
In cyclopean walls built around and down the
hill. These houses were some cut from the
rock, and some built Of the massive masonry
whose stones are greater than those OF
Mycen9 and Tiryns. He has found the ruins
OF l90 OF the houses more or less we'll preserved !:
some OF but one room, others of four or six
chambers. DR.. Schliemann found few frae-
ments OF pottery, like that from the two most
ancient cities of Troy, some broken tiles, with
curious ornamentation, and two inscribed with
characters not yet deciphered. He wonders
that he found anything at all. because the
steep slope rendered the accumulation of de-
bris impossible. and the rains have washed the
remnants of ancient industry into the sea- cen
turtles ago. Schlemann found several things
described by Homer, as the grotto of the
nymphs, and at the southeast end of the island
the very pig-styles of Eum@us, the divine
ah1nhar5.

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

On the East Side-Ne,o Buildings and
InDroUemeHts.-It is said that "westward
the star of empire takes its way" In Man
chester for some years since the reverse has
been the case, and the greater amount OF
improvements have been on "the east
side''; this is particularly the case with
that portion Of the city east OF Hull and
south Of Ninth street comprising the Third
Ward). Among the new buildings being
erected are two on Fifteenth street near
Stockton for Mr.. A. l.. Winfree, by
Henry R. Gary, and one on the cor
ner OF Stockton and Eleventh streets
for Mr.. Lloyd Franklin, by Messrs. Cobb d
Puckett. This house will be occupied by
Mr.. George W. Franklin. Several other
houses will be commenced very shortly. At
the house recently purchased by Mr. S. G.
Weisiger, Decatur street near Twelfth, great
improvements have been made. The build
ing has been remodelled and reftted by Mr.
Charles F. Moore, and when completed will
present handsome appearance. About the
greatest improvement, however, in the dis
trict has been made by E. B. Howle, Esq,
in front Of his fine buildings on Eleventh
street between Decatur and Stockton, and
by DR.. A. Monteiro on Twelfth street
near Stockton. These gentlemen have
walled their premises up with granite to
conform to the new grade, and the appear
ance is very striking. II all OF our citizens
were able to do this the beauty, il not the
utility, OF the new grade could be better
appreciated. Brooks'S Cottage is one Of the
neatest residences in the ward. The Noun
tain-Top House, occupied by Senator Chiles,
needs repainting. With little retitting
this would still be the handsomest house
in the city. Around "Fort Harrison,"
on the south side OF Eleventh street
between Decatur and Stockton, the grade
is rugged, and matters look dilapidated.
But the improvements there projected will
greatly improve its appearance. The finest
houses in the Third Ward are those Of
Messrs. E. B. Howle and Henry j. Num-
nally. Among other very handsome ones
are those OF Messrs. E. H. Nunnally, Will
liam B. McCrary, Royal Il Whitehead,
William Fl. Walker, A. Monteiro, James T.
Abbott, G.. A. Peple, B. p. Owen, F. G.. D.
Farmer, Samuel r. Owens, John Perry,
and there are others which, while not so
cummodious, are patterns OF neatness and
comfort. The view from the east side is
one OF the finest in the vicinity OF either
Richmond or Manchester. There are many
eligible sites, good water, the location IS
high, the society is good, and it is conve-
nientIy near to the market, post-otce, and
other public buildings, and there is no rea-
son why its population should not within O
few years be doubled.

IT SUSTAINs IT'S REPUTATIoN.-For nearly q
quarter of century 1t has been acknowledged that
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy has no equal in speedily
and permanently curing cold In the head" and all
catarrhal affections of the nasal cavities. Its Inn
mense saleand great popularity are dependent upon
and entirely due TO It's merits and superiority over
all other similar preparations. Very many physi-
clans, having thoroughly tested it, are now pre-
scribing it in their practice.

DR.. r. 7. Pierce, Buffalo, ". y:
Dear Sir,-For years suffered with chronic ca
tarrh Last winter It bccan more severe seriously
affecting my throat and lungs. Ny stomach and
blood were also sadly ont Of order. I tried many
physicians and several advertised remedies, obtain
ing but temporary or no relief. My general health
became worse, so that despaired Of life. Seeing
favorable notices Of your medicines, procured one
half dozen bottles OF the Golden Medical Discovery
and supply OF DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. The
Discovery purified my blood and restored my gene
raj health; the Catarrh Remedy gave immediate re.
lief, and after little perseverance, radical cure
was effected. Thankfully yours,

IMPROVEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE WEST END.
Colonel BeaIl presented the following:
Whereas an avenue has recently been
opened from the New reservoir to point
on the line Of Main street, extended west
wardly in the county OF Henrico: and
whereas the supervisors OF said county
have now. under the authority OF the Legls-
lature, the opportunity OF constructing
highways in said county and whereas the
extension OF said avenue to Broad street
near the State FAIRGROUNDS would in the
future be OF vast benefit to the city OF Rich
mond, and would so enhance the value Of
real estate along the line Of the extension
OF said avenue as to induce the property
holders along said line to donate to the pub
lie land required for this purpose; and
whereas the present is propitious time FOR
making the Improvement herein referred
to at the smallest cost to the city and county !;
therefore be it
ResoLUed (the Common Council concur
ring), That a committee, to consist OF the
chairmen of the Committee on Streets, the
