finement and taste. It's in her Litera
ture, her Authors, her Arts, her Artists,
and her numerous Literary. Scientific,
and benevolent institutions, that has
given her name, not only among the
cities Of the great Valley, but of the eli.
Silized world, that will go down to the
most remote posterity.
Her authors. her sculptors, her pain
tiers and her poets, both in number and
excellence, vie with those of any other
city In the Union. Her colleges, acad.

She has her school OF law, physic aud

professors in all their various branches,
her Mechanics Institute, from which
hundreds of this most useful class Of cit

Also, academies exclusively for writing,
and others for book X eeping. She has

built here the last year was nearly eight

business of our city that alone is nearly
adequate to keep it onward in its pro

Such is Cincinnati, "the Queen of the
