One year, in advance......................$6 00 All communications should be addressed to C. ^W. S^VTCKT, 106 Broadway, cor. op Pine Street. A GOOD INVESTMENT. No more striking fact in regard to the value of real estate as an article of investment can be given than the sworn testimony of Charles O'Conor, the eminent lawyer, who last week appeared in coiu't as a witness to testify ia regard to the value of property situated in the ■vicinity of Washington Heights. Mr. O'Conor was not himself fully posted in regard to the present value of his own property, which is situated in the immediate vicinity of a tract which on Tuesday last was sold at the auction room, averaging something over seventeen thousand dollars per acre, which price is prob¬ ably a fan: test of the value of Mr. O'Conor's property, although he estimates it at a higher figure. Now this same sixteen acres which Mr. O'Conor estimates to-day to be cheap at f 820- 000, and which could not be bought for that sum, was purchased by him twenty-five years ago for $350 an acre. Just think of an investment of $4,000 in twenty-five years realizing con¬ siderably more than $300,000; and what is true in Mr. O'Conor's case is equally true in regard to hundreds of acres situated in the immediate ■vicinity. There are just such opportunities oc¬ curring every day, and any person who has faith in the gro-wth of New York—and who has not ?—will be sure to realize a foi-tune from an investment made now anywhere on this island. We last week directed the attention of capi- talists to the fact that at present there were daily occurring admirable opportunities for in¬ vestment, because weak holders who, during the fall of 1868 and the spring of 1869 had bought property on narrow margins, were una¬ ble to hold it, and were forced to sell. Of course, their necessity is the capitalists' oppor¬ tunity, and a glance at our lists of conveyances ■will convince any one that real estate is fast concentrating into strong hands. Whether un¬ der this operation a further decline wUl take place it is impossible to say; but one thing is certain, that any one buying at the present prices ■wiU, and must, in time, reap a substan¬ tial profit.
