Leopold's Addition.

Adjoining the original plat of tbe town of Hernsaelaer on the eaat, lew tract of some seventy aorea of as fine land as Jasper county affords. This body ia owned by Mr. A. Leopold, one of the moat enterprjuUnf, ,/»r seeing ,; and prosperous citizens of. the.town, who has just completed the survey and platting of the tract Into block*, lots, streets and alleys. -Most of the vacant.lots ju the original plat of, ami older additions to, Rensselaer .have been held by the owners at prices beyond tbe reach of mechanics and mem who support their families by small jobs and day’s labor. It is to afford this class of people an opportunity to procure homes of their own, aud at the same time to realize a profit for himself, that Mr. Leopold has placed his pioperty oh the market in its present shape. It will be seen by referring to the advertising columns of this paper that Mr. Tholhaa Boroughs is agent for tbe sale of 24ti of these lots. We are informed by both Mr. Boroughs and Mr. that the prices, which of course are graded upon a basis of location, have been made with a full consideration of tlie E resent condition of finances and usiuess, and are bareJy enough to give a reasonable margin over tp* actual cost of the tract and jiay expenses of surveying, platting and incidentals, while the terms are so liberal as to place a home with Hi the reach of any industrious man or woman. While It is preferred -to seH these lots to those who will build upon and improve them, a portion at least will be disposed of in bulk ins persons desiring to make an investment of surplus money whew a jrea- i settable profit may be confidently anticipated. Leopolds Addition covers many choice sites for dwellings, and. at no distant day, will, no dontd, Tw considered tbe handsomest portion of Rensselaer. 9-l7r?m,
