seats Of the same material supported by blocks
Of wood. In this edifce the pioneers and
their families assembled Tor the pdrpose OF
worship, and during the continuance of the
war, they always attended with loaded rifles.
This building was subsequently sold to Judge
Burke, and ill a very short time ago, stood
in front of his dwelling on Vine street.
Opposite where now St. Paui's Church
stands, was the seiool house, a rude frame
building, enclosed, but not finished, yet the
place, perhaps, where many of the talented
men of Cincinnati received the rudiments of
their education.
Ga the North side of the Public Square
was the jail-a rough, though strong log
building. AT the tavern Of George Avery,
near the frog.pond, a room had been procur-
ed for the Courts; while the Pillory, Stocks
and Whipping. post, and occasionally a gal
lows ornamenied the adjacent grounds.
These public buildings and a few frame
houses and log cabins completed Cincinnati
in the year 1900. since that lime they have
all passed away, with the exception Of two
or three frame buildings which have been so
completely altered as scarcely to leave a ves-
iine Of their first appearance. A pond which
existed at the corner Of Main and Fifth streets,
was full Of alder bushes, and furnished from
the frogs which it contained, a nightly sere-
made to the neighborhood. To pass it, a cause
way of logs was constructed, where now
stately edifces are reared in the midst of the
business part of the city. The Fort was COM
handed by William Henry Harrison, a cap
tain in the army, but destined afterwards to
be President OF the United States.
There was a printing press in the town.,
upon which was printed the MarweH code n
lalOs. being the first printing executed in the
North " Western Territory.
There has been some dispute lately about
the original price paid for the plot OF land up
on which the city stands. MIR. Denman pur-
chase one section and a fraction, for which
he paid a specie price of fifteen pence per
acre. From this, "A calculation can be easily
made Of the original cost of the plat Of Gin
%cinnati.
But half a century has passed over the lit
tie village at the mouth of the Licking river,
and like the work OF enchaniment, this town
is converted into a vast city, with its hundred
| thousand inhabitants. lis fame is spread over
Europe, and thousands are emigrating here
to Join their brethren, and to live where free
dom of opinion is tolerated and respected, and
where the necessaries of life are brought in
abundance TO our very doors at a price mere
ly nominal. Where log cabins were thinly
scattered about, stately buildings are reared
in solid blocks, containing the wealth and
handiwork Of Europe. All of these changes
have occurred since, within the memory of
man, the country was a bowling wilderness.
The persons who fourished during the
time of the infancy OF this city, are nearly all
passed away. But a very few of them are
remaining, and they, in the ordinary course
Of circumstances, can last but a brief time.

| shall not attempt to describe the agony
of the mother for the ensuing days. She
was agitated by contending hopes and fears.
In the night she awoke from sleep, seeming
to hear the screams of the child calling on
its mother for help. But the time wore
slowly away-and the third day came
How slowly did the hours pass. The morn
ing waned away-noon arrived-yet the sa-
chem came not. There was a gloom over
the whole household. The mother was pale
to and fro, going TO the door every few min
utes and looking through the opening in the
forest towards the sachem's abode.
At last the rays Of the setting sun were
thrown upon the tops of the trees around,
the eagle feathers of the chief were seen
dancing above the bushes in the distance
He advanced rapidly-and the little boy was
at his side. He was gaily attired as ayoung
chiel-his feet being dressed in moccasins,
a fine beaver skin was on his shoulders, and
eagle feathers were stuck in his hair. He
was in excellent spirits, and so proud OF his
honors that he seemed two inches taller than
he was before. He was soon in his mothers
arms, and in that brief minute she seemed to
pass from death to life. 1t was a hap
Ply m~eeting-too happy for me to describe.

ENGLIsH ScENERY.-The last number of
the Christian Inquirer contains an interesting
letter from the Rev. MIR. Bellows, from which
we Gull a brief extract:
"There is but one word descriptive of
ENGLISH scenery-England is one great gar
den. Every body says so, because nobody
can say anything more or less. ltlooks much
like the immediate neighborhood of Boston.
MANY slopes of gentle hlllsides, or stretches
of meadow, reminded us wildly of the undu-
lations of Roxbury and Brookline, and the
banks of the Charles, which is a very good
sample of an English river of the largest size.
70 an American eye, accustomed only to the
BEGINNINGS or progress of things, 1t is very
delightful 10 come upon a country that is fin
ished. The order, plan, and cultivation OF
English ground, seems perfect. You may
ride fifty miles, and not see one neglected
plot of land, one brokendown fence. one new
building, one makeshift device. But amid
all this perfection of agriculture, all this order
and solidity, and finish of structure, it is pain
full to see how little room the people take up;
how inferior their accommodations are; how
small a feature the homes of the million form
in the landscape. The dwellings of those
who cultivate this soil are hardly higher than
the hedges, and wear the look of stone-sheds
or places for farming tools. We could not
help continually asking where are the people,
and where do they live, who do all this
work 7"
