The Water Power at PerTysbnrg.
A correspondent of the Toledo Blade, writing
from this place, upon the latentresources of the
Maumee Valley,as. manufacturing region, which
require only energy, labor and capital to develope
them, more especially refers ito the great water
power at this point lie says:
Northwestern Ohio, of which Toledo is the en-
trepot must soon turn her energies to snmething
besides agriculture and commerce. These have
given her vitality, it is true but hardness Of
muscle is needed. Wool can be grown here almost
without limit and will be in few years hence
We must have mills'to work ituS aud thus save
to our section the expense Of sending ii from home
to be manufactured y, We zhave direct aud COM

iron regions, and why not have iron inills2 We
should nave vast quantities OF machinery running

articles Of usefulness dozen Paper Mills in the
Maumee Valley would pay. look at Cleveland, :,
at Buffalo and Detroit. They had their day of
commercial smartness and thrift, just as Toelo is
havingin now; bur their leading men saw that with
