filed up, and the cap-stonc apparently put on.
The space laid out BY nature for city, is nearly
covered over, and there seems little more for the
quarter of million of denizens to do than to
rest from their labors and enjoy the fruits Of
their enterprise and Investments. The people
hare sober, Quakcr-likc mir, each nan seem-
ing9y satisfied with what he has, looking for
nothing more, fearing no ditninution, and conf
dent that lie is master Of the situation. Evcr.e-
thing bears the mark of solidity, durability And
completion. The growth Of Cincinnati has
oyertaken the development and resources Of the
territory tributary to her merchants and arti-
zans. An equilibrium has been reached. The
surrounding country, that chooses her for mar
ket, is able to support her in her present estate,
and she is fully able to supply it with ali the
products required from that point.
We do not wish to be understood as asserting
that Cincinnati has wholly ceased to grow.
What ne mean is, that she has ceased moving
faster than the surrounding country; that she
has caught up With its development, md that
it being an old and well settled territory she has
subsidized into slow growth. The lands are

Of this section Of country, Cincinnati will keep

SURROUNDINGS
Nature apparently formed the surroundings
Of Cincinnati with special reference to her be-
coming one of the most beautiful cities upon the
American continent The hills which form the
amphitheatrc in which the city reposes rise
from four to ive hundred feet abovc the Ohio.
Mill Creek and perhaps other streams cut down
through these hills, rendering the city easy Of
access by canal md railway. The windings of
the streams on their approach to the Ohio have
left some Of the most beautiful places for elc-
CANT residences that probably can be found in
the vicinity Of any CITY in the Union. As snec-
linen Of what the hand of taste can accomplish
VIC mention the

Some four miles from the city. The summit
Of tue hill on which it stands is nbout the
1crel Of the surrounding country. On the
west Is the deep valley Of Mill Creek, IN which
arc the Cincinnati and Dayton r. X. and the
Miami Canal; the Spring Grove Cemetery with
its white monuments pccring up among the
beautiful evergreens and splendid forest trees,
while to the right md left are cultivated farms
and elegant gardens, the whole forming in The

the most enchanting landscapes it WAS ever our
