Cheap Homes.

The inducements offered by E. M. Weaver for the sale of his lots in his newly laid out addition are meeting with great favor among the mechanics and others of small means. These lots, one hundred and sixty-five in number, are located between the Dayton and Burlington roads, the point running down opposite the Oakland House. They are valued at from $250 to $350 each, and meeting with rapid sale. Mr. Weaver is selling lots requiring payment of only $25, and in some cases of $10 and $15 per month, until the whole amount is paid. There are two shoe shops and a blacksmith shop already in operation, and parties are in process of erecting buildings to be used, one of them as a dry goods store and another as a grocery store. Mr. Weaver designs putting up a building, as soon as the brick can be procured, on the point before alluded to, fronting  one hundred feet on the Dayton road, which will be occupied as storerooms, groceries, meat shops, &c. We know of no better plan for a poor man to procure a home than to avail himself of the inducements here held out.
