a Great Scarcity OF Small Houses in
Savannah.
A gentleman who has recently come into
the city from the north, aud intends making
it bis home. was complaining yesterday Of the
difficulty of securing house conveniently
located near the business portion of the city,
He has been looking for desirable house
for several days, but has not yet been able
to fad one He says there are no houses TO
be had north of Jones street, and he will
have to seek for one in the southern portion
of the city, where houses are not any more
plentiful than they should be. Notwith-
standing the number Of new houses
that have been built in Savannah within
the last year, the demand is still in excess
of the supply, aud the consequence is that
there has been general increase in rents
The scarcity of money has considerably
Iessened the amountiof building recently,
the tightness OF the money market falling
very heavily upon the real estate men and
the builders, perhaps more SO than upon
any other class.
The real estate men are calculating upon
general activity in their business this
spring, and an increased demand for build
ing lots. II such be the case building opera
tions will be more active as a matter of
course

hrs. MerrsW'S Suit Against William
z. Merrew.
The case of Mary E. Merrsw vs. William
E. Merrew, on a suit for alimony, occupied
the attention Of the superior court all Of
yesterday. The jury went out about
o'clock, aud up to IL o'clock last night had
not agreed upon a verdict.
The circumstances of the case are rather
peculiar. Several years ago Merrew be-
came insane and was sent to the lunatic
asylum. He had a wife and two children
and owned a small amount Of real estate.
While he was confined Ia the asylum Mrs
Merrew paid all taxes and expenses on the
property and used the revenue to support
herself aud children. Sometime ago Mer-
rev regained his reason and was turned out
of the asylum completely cured.
He returned to Savannah, but his wife
would not live with him, claiming that she
was afraid that he was not cured and might
do her and the children harm.
Finally Morrow went away aud his
wife instituted proceedings for al
imony. A. II. MacDonell, Esq, who repre-
sented Merrew, claimed that as his
client had endeavored aud offered to assist
In the support of his wife and children the
plaintiff could not recover alimony. He
had lived up to everything required by law.
said Mr.. MacDonell, and the mere feet at
Mrs. Merrew claimed that she was afraid t.
live with her husband was not valid, and
under his construction of the law the jury
could not award alimony.
). b. Adams, Esq, represented the plain.
tilt, ard claimed that Mrs Merrew's fears
were sufficient, and that she was eltited to
e support for herself aud children out of
the property, particularly as she helped to
make it. The case will likely result in a
