THE ditch" as it is s,pncwhatderisvcly called
is no longer the obnoNicus thing which litigation
and neglect has made it in the past, Il is really
becoming power to the manufacturer, and posi-
live benefit to our town. Under the prudential
management OF r. p. Peek Esq who now owns
the controlling interest it will be adapted to the
quircmcnts of the largest nianulacories. We arc
pleased to know that its facilities and advantages
appreciated by capitalists, and manufacturers
from other places This is no other than might be
expected from the cheap and effective power it fur
nishes for propelng machinery, and also from the
advantages which Perysburg furnishes for the
distribution of produce, and manufactures and the
pleasant locations, which it provides for the dwell
lings of mechanics. With our harbor at the head
of river navigation, and achamel to the lake which
vessels of from three to four hundred tons cannay-
igate, we have all the advantages possessed by
ports on the lake. Buffalo, Detroit, Cleveland, OF
any of the principal commercial points may be
reached from here readily as from the Lake
shore. Beside, the advantage of Lake and river
navigation, the Dayton and Mchiganrailroad, pass
ing throughout streets, furnshes,us by its connec
sion with access to all points within the circle o.

interests viii be one of remarkable prosperity Thc
value of lands will be so much enhanced by the
system of drainage now instituted, that we may
confidently hope to double our population during
the next ten years. ShOnld this be the case tht
amount and value of exports will be great, and GER
tainly no point of shipment presents itself in this
part equal to Perrysburg. We would say there
fore to citizens one and all, "despise not the
day of small thing;" but by the spirit of hope, o
unity, and of generous emulation seek to naugurat
and anticipate that better day, which our prodeces
sors have longed for, bnt which we must certainly
behold, unless by our own acts we shut off the nat
ural current of trade.
Directly, and otherwise, the manufactures on tliC
hydraulic, furnishes subsistence to a number of per
sons equivalent to one fifth of our corporate popu
lation. 1t may not be deemed amiss, by our read
crs if we review the various enterprises, deriving
their motive power from the ditch"
