We hear a daily inquiry on the street for houses. Large numbers are seeking a home in our city, for the purpose of enjoyiag the eilucational advantages offered, in connection with the beautiful and healthy location, and intelligent society, all of which combine to make it the most desirable place of residence in the State. Property is changing hands so rapidly that it, will trouble the assessor to keep track of the ownership.-- And as those who sell only doso from a Yankee propensity for trafflc or change, the newcomers are decidedly more than those who shake the dust of our city from their skirts and depart from among us, eo that there are not houses enough to meet the demand. Our capitalists ought to build good, snug, comfortable houses on their vacant lots. A hundred such could be sold or rented within a week, and at renumerating figures, and thus largely increase ourpopulation and prosperity.

For a wonder they were not materially injured, and did no great amount of injury in their course. An "ex" was taken out of a wagon in front of the American block, but they managed to steer clear of all other earriages and wagons in the street L3T The First National Bank of this city is now receiving subscriptions for the new U.

Those having greenbacks or National Bank bilis to invest should "go in" on the 10-40s. ii in LS" Gold reached 179 in Wall Street on Wednesday. A greenbaek dollar is now worth a fraction over 56 ets.
