Improving the Ohio.

> The project now before the Pennsylvania
Legislature to improve the Ohio river by q
series of locks and dams, 10 give a depth Of
six feet water all the year round, is demand
ing special attention both inside and out OF
that body The Pittsburg Post judges rightly
in saying that, with the Government aid that
could be obtained, there is no doubt that the
stock of such an Improvement company won Id
be q good investment. With that river navi-
gable nearly all the year round, it would be
one OF the greatest channels of inland COM
merce in the world. The same money that
would complete the improvement would not
build a railroad Of one-third the length, and
the river would do far the most business, and
be Of far the most benefit 10 the whole country
when both were done.

The Graham Presentation pl.,s.

We have received from Mr.. See, the spirited
and enierprising publisher Of GrGkGn's Nag
azins, q copy Of the Presentation Plate, pre-
pared for the subscribers to that truly national
and popular work. II consists of a most ex-
quisitely engraved plate Of the fourteen Presi-
dents of the United States, from Washington,
to the present incumbent. The likenesses Of
the distinguished men who have occupied thai
exalted position are most perfect, and the
workmanship is a most finished specimen of
the engravers art. In addition to the DOR
traits is a beautiful view of the Capitol at
Washington, as extended, with the head
quarters Of General Washington, at Newburg,
an engraving of the National and Bunker
Hill monuments, and other beautiful devices.
The engrav ING is about twenty inches in width
by twenty four inches in length, and is cal
cuia;ed for a splendid parlor ornament. The
subscribers of the Magazine will be highly de-
lighted with this valuable gift. and the fact
that a copy is TO be presented to all those who
become subscribers to this periodical for the
year 1855, should stimulate the whole reading
public 10 at once send their names 10 the
publishers. The minds Of many young people
become confused as to the order in which the
Presidents Of the Union were called TO the
Government, and this plate will, at once, act
az q chart to their recollection, and also fur
nish a knowledge of the personal appearance
whom our citizens have honored with
the first gift in the Nation. No family should
be without this fine engraving, and to obtain
one, it is only necessary to become a subscri-
Der to the Magazine. The plate itself is
worth the price Of the subscription.
We will receive and forward subscriptions
for this truly American Magazi ne, and the
Premium Plate. Terms for both-sS,G0 per
copy one year.
