It's with the utmost pleasure, after
an acquaintance OF many years, that we
commend this house to those whose bus
mess or pleasure calls them to Cincin-
natl. It's central location is much In
its favor, being in the midst of the bus
mess Of the city, but its experienced and
&c ntlemanly landlord, whs yet keeps q
vigilent look out for the comfort OF his
guests, Is its chief recommendation
Everything that is needed, 10 in the
right place. at the right time, and guests
can not help being pleased. After an
acquaintance with the chief Clerk, Mr..
Hamline, we do not wonder that certai n
young ladies' hereabouts prefer stopping
at the Denpison, to any other place in
the city. Indeed, we heard a very in
telligent married lady, few days ago,
bestow need of praise upon him that
would have made him blush, had he
heard it, and which would have appear
ed to be fiattery, but for the conscious
ness that he must feel, OF endeavoring to
make every body feel at home. Fol
several months there has been a desire
expressed by many Of those who fire.
quently visit the city from this place to
agree upon some good house IS a &c n
eral stopping place. Such an agree
mcnt exists, in some places, and there
are many manifest reasons for il. We
are oil liable to sickness, or other mis-
fortunes, even upon very short stay
Then il is very desirable to see familiar
face, and receive assistance from the
hands Of an acquaintance. Business
may detain Us several days. A later AZ
rival from home brings US Intelligent CO
that we highly prize, or we are enabled
to send some word home by those re
turning. But we have not room to emu
merate the advantages. They will read
lily suggest themselves to all who have
ever been abroad. In conversation on
this subject last summer we found NOR,
to prefer the Dennison than any other
and we hope that II will become the
Rockville House. We know Of nc
better house. and cordially invite our fell
w-citirens Of the county to meet III
there whenever they have occasion 4
visit the city.

BLOOMING GROVE, Ind, !

Nov. 9Th, 1853.
Editor Of the American: Sir-We see
through the columns Of your paper the
prices current for the village Of Cedar
Grove, Metamora and Brookville pub
lished weekly, and we can see no Just
cause or provocation why the free and
enlightened sovereigns OF the city oil
Blooming Grove should not be as well
represented.
Since our whilom Editor, the talented
Tim, Of the "Biooming Grove Argus y
has vacated the chair editorial, some
outside barbarians'' may imagine that
our city is rather retrograding than pro-
crossing; but we can assure all such
that they are most wofully deceived
Never, within the recollection of the
Oldest :nhabitant, have our prospects
been more fiattering; never has business
been more prosperous, wages better
procuce higher or goods cheaper; anc
last but not least, never were the morals
OF our town, (and Blooming Grove il
famous for its morality better than they
are now. Why, sir, | can assure you
In sober earnestness, that sometimes
for the space of several weeks, there is
not a scurrillous, anonymous letter
dropped on the sidewalks, nor horse
shaved-nor an innocent PERSONS char
acter traduced. Verify, we are a model
people, and may our shadow never grow
less.
And then areal live Editor is not al
the notabiIities Of which we could boast.
Every one knows we have poet in oul
midst, whose illusions have graced tn,
columns Of your excellent paper.
Then success, say we, to Blooming
Grove, with her poets and her preachers,
her manufacturers and her merchants
she is bound to make her mark, ant
show to future generations what talent
energy and will can accomplish. Long
may she wave!
Thy friend,
SIMEON SYKEsY.

Though the walls of this building can
not go higher this fall, without being
damaged by the frost, yet work is not to
be suspended on the building. A tenn
porrry roof is to be put over 1t, and such
inside work as car be done will be ac-
lively prosecuted during the winter
The apparent suspension of the work
will give persons fond OF croaking good
chance Of indulging in their favorite en-
PIoyment, though, in fact, the building
have been pushed from the first, with COM
mendibIe energy. Mr.. May has had to
contend with many difficulties. In the
spring il was almost impossible to get
stone cutters at any price, and the brick
work was delayed, on account OF this
difficulty. He then had to contend with
an unprecedented rise in the wages oil
workmen. But he has gone on rapidly,
notwithstanding.
AT what time the house will be ready for
use, 1t is impossible to tell, but it will be
early next spring. But, when finished,
IL will be such building as will reflect
honor on all who have had any thing to
do with it. The thanks Of the County
are due to the commissioners who, fear
less OF the abuse Of the nigardly, devised
such building. And we are glad to be-
lieve that nine tenths of the Taxpayers
approve their course.
The hou.s will not only be convenient
for the purposes Of justice.aud for Offices
but its artistic beauty will please the
eye Of every beholder. But beauty has
not been consulted at the expense oil
durability. Every stone and every bricl
has been laid with reference to strength
as we'll as beauty. This every one
knows who has Witnessed its deep and
broad foundations, and its we'll bull
arches. The Architect, Mr.. May, viii

SO little Of II is now ON this side Of the

without fear OF wounding any feelings.
Unfortunately for the Hoosier portion
Of Il, the river and the canal come In
so close to the state line, and withall,
behave so unseemly when on high, that
the citizens have prudently built on the
other side Of the line. Well, we will
not complain, for In truth, a river on q
spree, though itgcts high on strictly
temperance principles, merely BY the
use Of cold water, Is nearly as offensive
as man who gets high on whisky, and
we do not blame any one for stunning
It's company. We have watched the
growth Of Harrison with interest. II
must now number some 800 Inhabitants.
There Is a brisk business carried on there
In the purchase Of produce, and, we

Cooley yet drives his excellen. Touring
mills, and pays the highest market price
for wheat. Cloud and Dare, are doing
large business In purchasing produce
and fattening hogs. From short ac-
qnaintance with them and their clever
clerk, we take them to be agreeable men
in business matters.
Mr.. Hasson who furnishes US weekly

doing a large business in the sale oil
