the U. P. Church for home for aged
people, the consideration being 5000.

the G. II. Imhoff property on Penn avenue,
near Linden, for $50, 600. The lot is 300x250
feet. The house is a large brick containing
15rooms but Of no great value. 1t will be torn
down to make room for an elegant modern
structure. These and two or three other
transactions which have not vet reached the
surface, have stirred up lively interest in
real estate between East Liberty and
Williamsburg.
