 Correspondence of the Litchteld Enquirer. Our WEST, April, 1859. Nearly eight months have elapsed since bounl- ed over the Mountain County Hills A trip to the top of Mount Tom is my last pleasing recollection of Litchfeld. Since tf,at time have wandered far and beheld many new things in South Western Ohio My chief depot has been Cincinnati, the great pork opulis. have hogs die at the rate of five per second, and all such local items. Dating back only sixty years it now contains 250, 900 of the human species Many of these are foreigners, chiefly Ger mans. and they present most of their national fea- lures here, speaking their own language. and pos sessing news prints in German Very many of the local names in the city are taken from German asso- citations.
 The prevalent idea here is to make money There is no other God seen in the skies than mammon. Every nerve is stretched and every dollar used to gain others with Money readily brings 10 per cent There is a great deal of building going on, some 500 houses will be erected this summer; carpenters and masons are scarce and obtain good wages. Some considerable manufacturing is carried on. | In the winter, packing pork rules, but summers, the lager beer establishments, whiskey distleries and iron works hold supremacy.
 One great feature of the city is its steam fire en- gines fire can't burn ten minutes before about a dozen are pouring water on it the pumping and forcing is done by steam instead of drunken iremen therefore, iremens rows don't allow fires to rage for some trivial dispute
 There are some very fine buildings in the city, large stores and beautiful private residences have not seen any such grace Fifth avenue in New York. however. In general the buildings pre- sent a dngy appearance, owing to the use of bitu- mnous coal, the smoke of which often reminds one of the foggy days in London. One of the finest buildings in the city or in the United States is Pike's Opera Hall. It will seat about 5000 persons and is used for various public purposes. Last Saturday night the public schools gave con cert, the hall crowded and the people listened to the singing of choir of 800 children. When the curtain rose it presented them seated in body on the stage, and we do not very often hear 800 sing ing at shall not very soon forget the scene
 On Sunday last the Rev. Mir Boynton preached in the Hall to about 5000 sinners and it is hoped that much good may grow out of this movement
 It has been very rainy time this week these clay hills are very soft. and farmers begin to say they won't plant corn till June, if it don't stop. Wheat looks very we'll. Oats arc coming up, some that saw two weeks ago looked finely. The wealth CT is changeable- rain and sunshine, warm and cold, sandwiched alternately. DE CAY.
