rne Wilson House at salem.

While at Salem few days since, we had
the pleasure Of stopping for little time at
the "Wilson House," situated on Main
St. and kept by J.S. SEAToN, Esq, formerly
of New Lisbon. This is one Of the best ar
ranged and best conducted hotels in North.
ern Ohio. The house has been rebuilt and
very much improved in size and appearance,
and thoroughly furnished with new and ele-
giant furniture. The rooms are pleasant and
airy, and all its arrangements are made with
taste and with especial reference to the
convenience and comfort of the travelling
public. Mr.. SEATeN the proprietor, is an
experienced and popular landlord and first
rate fellow. To our friends who may visit
Salem, we most cheerfplly recommend the
"Wilson House" as stopping place
They will always find most excellent ac-
commodations and moderate bills. s.ss
Persons going to and from the cars, can
be conveyed to the depot free of charge.

Eclectic Institute at Hiram.

A few weeks ago, we paid visit TO this
nourishing literary Institution, which we
shall long remember with pleasure and
profit. 1t is too we'll known in Portage
county to need any description from u.s.
The locality Of the Institution, is admira.
Bile. II is situated upon the high grouud at
the centre of Hiram, and overlooks a wide
extent of territory on every side. For
healthfulness and the beauty of its scenery,
no more charming spot could have been se-
lected in this whole region of country. The
Institute has now been established for four
'or Ave years. The course of study marked
out embraces nearly all that is valuable in a
regular collegiate education. We have
not catalogue before US, but if we recol-
lect rightly, there are about one hundred
and fifty students in attendance at the pres
ent term. The aggregate number in attend
ance during the past year was nearly five
hundred. Rev. Mr.. Hayden the Principal
isl man of fine education and prepared to
fill with honor the position he occspies.-
He is assisted in the several departments by
able and accomplished instructors. Such
an institution well conducted, cannot fail to
accomplish noble work. Common
Schools, Academies and Colleges, are among
the strongest guarantees of social anGpol:t-
ical prosperity. From these, must society
derive much of its moral power, the country
much of its progress, and the government
much Of its stability.
No part of our visit was more gratifying
t., than our reception by, and Intercourse
with the members of the "DELPuIc LITERA-
RY SOCIETY" As an auxiliary to the full
development and dicipline of the intellec-
tual faculties, none can be regarded as Of
much greater efficiency than the discussions
and other exercises connected with such an
association. The young gentlemen of
this society, seem to appreciate these bene-
fits to the fullest extent. They have, each
and all of them, our best wishes for their
success--success not alone as members of
literary society, but further along in life,
as citizens and men. bearing part in the
scenes of thisbusy, work.day world,
We were right glad to receive the me-
mento of respect and confidence presented
us by the Society, and shall ever cherish
it with feelings of gratitude. No such to.
ken however, is needed to create an inter-
est on our part in the progress of young
men, who are just starting out in life, and
who are nobly preparing to enter upon its
duties. We are not entirely ignorant of
the discouragements which lie in the stu
dents pathway, while pursuing his course
of study, or the still greater difficulties to
be met in the transition from the life OF a
student, to that of a practical and success
full man Of business. 1t will ever be a
pleasure to encourage, and aid SO far in US
lies, every young man who has the ambition
to desire, and the energy to labsr for an hon
orable and influential position in life.

Failure Price Of Land Warrants

THoMpsoN's Reporter says: Those who
intend to speculate in Land Warrants begin
to grow anx ious about the price at various
future dates--hence we have many inquiries
on the subject.
To the best Of our foresight and belief we
shall buy them at the following prices:--
From now to July one dollars per acre
August and September 5000 cts per acre.
October and November 1880 cts per acre
When winter sets in they will fall to the
vicinity Of 60 cents per acre. In the Sum-
mer and Autumn of 1856, should the Money
Market be easy, they will again advance to
say d5@70 cents ber acre, but in the fol-
lowing Winter the market will again be
overstocked and they will fall even below
so cents, Those who wish to purchase
Warrents at the lowest point should have an
eye on January, February and March, 1857.
P. S.--There is an active demand for
Land Warrants, and we have advanced the
price. We are now buying at:
$l63 for 100 Acre Warran.s.
