Eaton Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1843-1856, 1854-08-31

UDayton is human town, and contains
as many human people among its population
as any other town anywhere. We paid il =
flying visit last week aud found It as pleasant
as ever. Its enterprising citizens up to the
eyes IN business and everything indicating
peace, prosperity and plenty. Dayton is one
the p~reltiest towns in The West, indeed we
have often thought it the h~andsomest, its wide,
clean streets, and its beautiful buildings and
residences, tell with enchanting effect upon
all who visit it. There are now in full ope-
ration several fine Hotels where visitols can
be accommodated with all tho comforts and
lu1uries sbounding in earth, air or sea. The
''Phillips House." under the Proprietorship
of Messrs. TRrMBoUR & ~JEFFRoY, is one OF
the Hotels, where luxuries abound in inviting
abundance, and where the weary may rest on
downy beds, surprisingly clean and free from
everything calculated 10 disturb "balmy sleep,
natures sweet restorer." The rooms are ven
tillated according to the latest and most i'm
proved system and the kind attentions Of Pro-
prietors and attaches fall most reffeshingly
upon the weary traveller seeking repose. Mr..
BARNUM, not the great 7. P, but one Of his
lineal descendants, assists in the office, and
by his kindness and attention wins the esteem
of the numerous guests who find a resting
place at the "Philips House"
We left Dayton for Cincinnati and there
took passage over the Ohio and Mississippi
Railroad, under the Conductorship or Mr.JoHN
Pace, whom all our citizens know is one Of
the Lest conductors 10 be found anywhere on
any Railroad, and landed at Lawrenceburgh,
Indiana, in a very short time. This is some
of a town, particularly when the Ohio and
Miami 'gsts high" and you can boat through
the streets with four feet OF water. We had
a nice time, particularly the hours spent with
PIERCE, (no relative Of our worthy President,
but wlthal a "good fellow" and JOHN S. Def
WELLER, Esq, q young lawyer Of HooSierana,
who will attend 10 any business our citizen,
may have in "them ~diggins'' with promptneS;
and ability. Lawrenceburgh is scattered ovel
half Of creation, with a frog pond on the out
skirts, merely as an inseparable barrier be-
TWEEN the citizens and several distilleries on
the other side. The crack Hotel is the "Mc.
Cormick House," and we are not very anxi-
Gus TO recommend our readers 10 try its &C.
commodotions-they can DO so If they see
proper, but not upon our recommendations
We returned to Cincinnati on The train undel
the conductorship ofMr. A. H. MooRE, q mos
gentlemanly fellow, and must confess the
Ohio and Mississippi Company have been for
tunate in securing the services of such expe.
rienced, obliging and attentive conductors as
MesSrs. PRICE and MOORE. The road is re
markably smooth for the length of time it ha,
been in operation, and it is in most excellen
running order, evidencing the superior abilit,
Of its superintendent and those having it
management. When the weather gets cool
and The frogs around Lawrenceburgh ceast
their eternal croaking and our friend CHEW, o
the independent Press can offer a visito
a good drink Of ice ,oater, we may again visl
that one-eyed town! We hope our friend Q
the Democratic Press there, may have a lon
life and money making time, and give the fu
~sionists shark from the tombs" from th,
word 60! Bring that "Independent Press u
to tea, and every time Mr.. CHEW fires off hi
howitzers at the cause, bring out a forty-tp
FOUNDER and rake the craft fore and Aft
Chen him right up! Taken altogether. Law
renceburgh will debut, whether 10 bet on
deponent saith not.
