A gentleman from Indiana, who
was recently here, said: "After
spending two days in your pretty
little city l am surprised to learn
that it does not contain five or six
thousand inhabitants. Anyway l
predict that with your splendid To-
cation, two great rivers, one of
which is now being locked and
d' mined by the government, your
splendid harbor at the mouth OF the
Kanawha, your close proximity to
the best coal in the world for all
purposes, your fire-clay, glass sand,
&c, You will have that many citi.
IONS within Eve years" We hope
the gentleman's prediction will como
true.
