Temple Street and the Green.

strong public desire exists for the con creting of Temple street across the Green. Such piece of work would be 6 valuable im- provement, and would add greatly to the beauty of the chief public square of New Haven, which, as all will agree, was devised for public park purposes The handsome ap- pearance of HiIIhouse avenue was much increased by it's having been concerted, and Temple street from Chapel to Elm, if con creted, would present Q fine appearance, in striking contrast with it's present muddiness. With this proposed improvement the present expense of taking care of the street would be much lessened. Now that the concrete walk across the Green. from opposite the New Haven House to Center church, is being broadened, let the improvement above urged he made. This proposed improvement of Temple street would be public benefit, and would gratify all who take pride in the beautiful old public square.

Worse Than Being Chased by.a BuF-


 One of the best examples of the 'tgo-as- you-please" mania was exhibited on a side street few days since. The circumstances which brought it about are these: Mark Stone has quite reputation in this section as trader in horned cattle. few days since he procured, through the medium of a trade, large COW, with very long and sharp horns, which he tied to the back axletree of his wagon and essayed to go home. Everything went on swimmingly until he had nearly reached home, when the COW suddenly be- came quite antic; and, for fear of capsize, MT. Stone got out and attempted to unfasten the animal from the wagon, when she gave him quite severe blow, driving her horn through his overcoat, inner coat and vest Her antics were of such nature that MT. Stone secured the services of Willie Hills to lead the COW home, while he drove the horse. MT. Hills is Q young man, and extremely wiry and nimble. This plan worked to a charm for a number of rods, when suddenly the COW charged at Hills in such an altogether vicious way that he thought it best to put a fence between himself and the animal As he reached the fence the COW was not three feet behind him. He quickly sprang over the fence and supposed himself safe, but what was his astonishment to see the COW as quick ly follow him and again make 8 dive for him. Hills, without further ado, leaped back into the road, the COW closely following him. This was done at least twenty times, Hills all the while endeaVoring to evade the COW. In their manDuvres they worked along the fence for at least fifty rods, until they came to large tree in a corner of the fence. Hills quickly jumped behind the tree, and the COW came against it head foremost. Quite time was spent in, lodging around the tree, but at last Hills got away. He thinks it was a little worse than being chased by buffalo. Hart ford Times.

At the Wooster Square Baptist church the annual assignment of slips took place last evening. The funds requisite for carrying on the church, about $5, 300 per annum, are ob- tained by means of the system of weekly of- ferings, which has been in operation for sev- eraI years past and proven very satisfactory.

 Prominent dealers in real estate say that they are selling more of the article this spring than in any preceding spring since the great panic set in. The spring is the busy season in real estate. One prominent dealer says he has sold five times as much real estate this spring as in any preceding spring for six or seven years past. The sales, moreover, are healthy sales, not of the exchange class, when fancy or burlesque prices were named, but sales for hard cash, who pay the purchase money down, either the whole or 8 substantial part A new phenomena has reappeared, one which dealers have not come across for several years. This is the offering of bonuses to pur- chasers for their bargains. number of cases of this kind have been met with. Deal CTS report also that they have not for years had 90 few rents to offer as this spring, while prices also are more stringent with an upward tendency. The dealers of experience, who have for many years watched and noted the tendencies of real estate, prophecy decided and marked advance in real estate, and thatin five years at most land will be quoted at the old prices. not the fancy prices of excitement, but the old healthy prices. The city's con- stant and steady advance in population is cited as substantial ground for this asser- tion. Moreover. the city is not limited to carriage making as it once was.
 While the business of carriage manufacturing is retained, and is as blooming" as it was be. fore the war, the city is not as largely depen- dcntupon it as it was formerly.
