our estimation. The latter IS q naqni-
ficcnt animal, and such as is rarely
found. Everything fer their accon1nlo-
dation, is well arranged, and The stables,
yards, land indeed all the appurtenances,
could scarcely be bettered. Mr. Nef''s
swine are quite on : par with his cattle
he having the Berkshire recently inn
ported in great perfection, and the Eng
lish grazler, also imported, a rice quiet
thrifty breed, and famous for making
lard--a great desidcratpm now in the
west. His piggefy is extensive, ahd
one Of the best arranged VIC ever saw.
! The general plants an alley in the cen
tire, with ranges oneaoh side for the an
inals; cooking t.ouse in front, where
kettles are set, and bins formed conye-
niently around for the storage Of meal,
grain, and roots, Other things about
this farm are worthy of notice, among
which we shall not soon forget, an album
dant orchard and fine vineyard recent,
iy planted out.
NURSERIES AND GARDBNs.-These a.
bound in the vicinity Of Cincinnati
That Of Mr.. Ernest we found the most
extensive. 1t is really we'll fIIed,and
contains numerous and excellent u.s.
sortment. There are many gardens al
SC, both public and private. Ofthe lat
ter, hat of Mr., Longworth is superior.
Here are transPlantqd all the wild flow
ers CT the country, for The purpose Of
experimenting with them, and we have
no doubt some beautiful things will YET
be brought out from this source.
The OHlo.-How swiftly glides the
boat down The broad winding stream;
how Beautifully the hills break and
group again, from reach to reach in
the blue distance, crowned with lofty
forests, the branehes.of the trees dotted
with thick green tufts Of the misleio,
while below from their base to The wa
ter's edge, spread the vide fertile mead
oag, in green grass or tall corn, with
large herds Of fat cattle feeding upon
their rich herbage. Fair villas, sub
stantial brick or stone. farm-houses, and
the humble Log-cottage, are sprinkled
alternately along, and from distance to
| distance, We are brought up to land by
intervening towns aid villages. II may
be called, indeed, from its sources TO its
mouth la Belle RivieFe, for there are
few streams in truth more beautiful.
We recolIoct being often asked in
England if we did moi find the Thames
much superior to the Ohio. The Thames
indeed It has a few fine meadows and
gentle hills, and Is as wide rs The OHIO
perhaps, 50 miles from lis mouth to Lon
don, and then lis rapidly dwindes 10 Il
mere ri7uIet, whiIathis keeps rolling on
FOR nearly thousand miles in one con-
tinnod flow of uninterrupted mognif-
cence, wilderness, and beauty.
NORTH BEND.-One Of the most inter
esting places that we pass in descend
ing the Ohio is North Bend, II miles
below Cincinnati. the residence OF the
late Iamened General Harrison, and a
green mound-like hill near TO the house,
enclosed in white paiIings, is now his fl
nal resting place. The tomb Is of plain
solid marble, end accords with the
character to whoas memory it is erected,
and virtues and deeds that it is made to
commemorate. When ne last saw
the Farmer of North. Bend, he had been
taken like another Cincinnatus, from
his rural occupations and quiet humble
home, and stood amidst an adniring
crowd Of thousands, the acknowledged
chief Of millions Of free people. To
look upon that plain, simply at,ired
old man, thus placed, thus sur
rounded, and thus honored, was sight
really sublime, and his sudden removal
will long be mourned by grateful ma
fion.
We wish we could SEQ the miserable
Iont. buildings in front and Immediately
around this charming residence of Gen.
Harrison removed. 1t has now become
point Of national intsrest, and is al
ways shown to strangers; there should
