management of President Jewett Is in good con-
dition, and doing its full share Of business. The
influence of his name over the roads to Cincin-
natl Is very perceptible We take a sleeping
car, where we have an opportunity for rest and
a little sleep. The morning finds US at Iamil-
ton, the county sea, of Butler, - miles from
Cincinnati, and on the left bank of the Great
Miami In few hours we leave this point for
Oxford, a town twelve miles distant, beautifully
situated on elevated land, the seat of Miami
University, a Young ladies' Institute, and a
Female College, together with the Western
Female Seminary. Each OF these institutions Is
well sustained ;--hcnCe, with such surroundings
for learning, the tone Of society is of no ord-
nary character. We are entertained, while there's
with view Of the woodworking italian
honey bees, under the management of Rev. Mr..
Langstroth, whose book upon this interesting
subject is known and appreciated. Mr. L. has
spent much time i'm the study of these little
wonders, and employed every laciityin import
ing tie best varieties from Europe He is now
successfully propagating the Italian variety for
which he claims superior working qualities, be-
ing larger and stronger than the common
bee. Ono queen bee alone commands the high
price Of ten dollars.
We resume our trip to Cincinnati, which is
rightly called the "Qucen City Of the West"
1t has many handsome public and private
buildings, and Is the great emporium OF trade
in the south west. We saw the city while
under martial law and when alive to business
The drilling Of citizens, and the crowds of sol
dicrs which thronged the streets and wharyCs,
as well as the suburbs of the town, indicated
that Morgan, though threatening, would not
take them by surprise.
We were particularly impressed with the large
amount Of business done by Mcssrs. iiinl1ie,
Gould s. Co, whose location is 80 Front ST

for the use of carpenters and builders, at lower

breaking out Of the war, this firm received Or
ders from most of the States in the Union for
their work. Mr.. II. is one of the trustees of
the Western, and sustan5 the character Of a
thorough business man, fair and gentemanly in
his dealings.
We visit College Hill, six miles from Cincin-
natl, where is located another Female College,
which is also well sustained, under the excellent
management of President Day, formerly Pro
tessor of Theology in Western Reserve College.
This building too, is beautifully situated on high
ground, partly concealed by trees and shrubs.
We leave Cincinnati on the Little Miami
Road, and pass Camp Dennison, three miles
distant, on level plot of ground, covering a
liberal space on either side Of the railroad. 1t
has commodious barracks, neatly whitewasbed
giving it an air of cleanliness aud comfort.
These barracks are capable of accommodating
