THE LAW LIBRARY.
IT is the object of the Law Library to furnish the
profession with the most important British element
ary treatises upon law, in a form which will render
them far less ei|iensive than works of this description
have hitherto been. It is published in monthly num
bers, large octavo, of about 300 pages euch, upon tine
paper, and with handsome type, at ten dollar? per
.annum, and is sent carefully secured, by mail, to every
{>art of the United States. It makes, in a year, feur
arge, handsome octavo volumes, of upwards of (>00
pages each, and these volumes include works which
would co^t, if purchased in the usual foirn, from se
venty to sevvnty-five dollars per year. From eight to
twelve entire treatise* oi} different branches of law,
are annually given, and great caie is taken that all
these treatises shidl be standard, and of undoubted
ability and authority.
The undersigned has at all times confidently rested
the claim of hi* publication to the support of tho pro
fession, upon the comprehensive excellence of the plan
on which it is conducted, and the character and in
trinsic value of the productions to which it has given
circulation. He is unwilling, however, to omit to
avail himself of the permission, most kindly given, to
publish the following extract from a letter ad dressed to
iiiui by the Hon. Esek Cowen, of the Supreme Court
of New York:
"I renew my thanks to you for this publication. I
can hardly doubt that the profession must duly appre
ciate its value, and reciprocate your care in its conduct
and distribution, by an adequate subscription and
punctual remittances. It is in truth, what it professes
to 1>e, n 'Law Library.' It has already become a manu
al in almost all the more useful branches of profes
sional business. I am quite sure it will, if properly
patronized, stand without a rival in the extent and
cheapness with which it will diffuse that kind of in
duction most s:>ught by the American bar. It keeps
them up with Westminster Hall in those departments
of legal learning wherein it is their ambition and duty
to excel."
Subjoined are a few testimonials, from many, which
the publisher has received from distinguished sources:
h rom Judge Sergeant.?" The plan of the ' Law
Library is such as to recommend it to the support of
the profession generally in the United States. It is
calculated to enlarge the science of jurisprudence, and
to elevate the character of the profession."
from Hon. John Taylot fjniia.r, oj Virginia.?
" The references in my digest have been numerous to
the excellent treatises published in the Law Library ;
fur the extensive circulation which that periodical me
rits, and has doubtless attained, has made theae au
thorities, it w gcnorftlljr ai^cuible through
out the United States."
"1 am surprised that any member of the legal profes
sion should withhold his subscription to your admi
rable Law Library."
from Chancellor Kent. ?The Law Library is a
work most advantageous to the profession, and I ho|>e
and trust that you will find encouragement to perse
vere in it."
from the Hon. KM* Lexei*.?"Your publication is
cheap, and ofimmense value to the profession "
from the Hon. John M. Clayton, late Senator from
Oelaicare.?" You are entitled to the thanks of every
member of our profession for the 'Law Library.' It is
an excellent thing for us."
from the National (razette?" Mr. John S. Littell
has adopted the only plan by which valuable works
can be brought within the leach of the muss of the
profession, and He speak with confidence of his under
taking as eminently meriting patronage and support.
The assiduity and experience of ihe editor of the I .mv
Library, and the character of the productions to which
it has given circulation, do not need our testimony."
from the Hon. H. liiddlc.?"Of the numerous trea
tise* the Law Library ban placed within our reach, at
it cheap rate, there are few, if any , which I would not
havo procuied cen at the great price of imported Law
Books."
from Judge Layton?"Your invaluable publica
tion should grace the shelves of every lawyer's li
brary."

ALBANY LOCK HOSPITAL.
I>r. COOKE.
THE unfortunate are respectfully informed that
the Albany ijock Hospital, established anil mo
delled after the much celebrated European Lock
Hospital, has many years since been founded at Head I
Uuarters, No. 3 Norton street, Albany, N. Y. To
those unacquainted with this institution, it is necessa
ry to mention that it has for its object the cure of all
such diseases as syphilis, scrofula, strictures, diseases
of the urethra, lumbago, flour alhus, inipotency, din
eases <>f the womb, seminal weakness of both sexes,
nodes, caries of the bones, gonorrluca, gleets, with all'
venenal complaints, Ac.
Persons, ignorant of the nature of Disease, are not
aware that many stages mark its progress from the
commencement to its lull development, originating in
a most simple form, and through neglect or injudicious
treatment, assume a more aggravated state of disease,
and occasion abscess, ulceration, pseudo syphilis, can
cer, premature old ajjc, too often ending in a protract
ed incurable state of miserable existence.
This institution is under the superintendence and
management of Professor Cookk, M. D.. I). D.
LL. 1)., of the eitv of Albany, N. Y., who will give
his personal attendance at the Dispensary, attached
to the Institution, at all hours to invalids requiring his
professional services. He having had much more
experience in this branch of medical practice than
usually falls to the lot of any one member of the pro- I
Cession, therefore feels such confidence of his alulilv
to give universal satisfaction, that he assii -cs all appli
cants, none need despair of a complete recovery.
The unfortunate therefore, who have su feed from
the want of success by those less experienced, are in
vited to visit the Hospital, which only requires to bo
known to lie sure of sup|Kirt, where the most perfect
secrecy may l*c tlcjs*iidcd on, and the utmost privacy
will attend those who call. The whole house is ex
clusively appropriated to the use of patients, vUio will
always be received into separate aiwirtments, and at
no time, unless at the request of the patient, will i
third party In- permitted to lie present.
Professor Cooke-has a number of handsomely fur
nished private chambers, at No. 33 Green street
where lie will receive gentlemen who may require
medical aid. Residing himself on the premises he
will thereby be enabled to dedicate more than ordina
ry attention to his patients. Gentlemen will find it
both convenient, as well ss economical, in all coses of
disease, to retire to these furnished rooms.
The l'rctnra/Kssenctof Honcset,universally known
as an excellent cough medicine, is prepared nt this in
stitution. Its efficacy being decidedly su|ierior to any
s|iecific. extant, is every wln-re recommended in all
cases of coughs, colds, asthma, croup, hooping cough,
as well as in all complaints of the chest and lungs.
Travellers, therefore, ministers of the gos|iel, orators, I
public s|s>akurs, and families, should never lie without
their abundant supplies.
As long as Professor 47onti: desires to benefit the
public, it is pro|N-r he should continue his advertise
ment, for the good ol strangers, as it is well known,
(H'ople are extremely shy in speaking of cases of a
delicate nature, even where a physician is irre-eini
nently successful.

FOR Tlte MADI.SONIAN.
THE GLOBE ON PROSCRIPTION.
a ihj enromery snu impuuenue oi me uiuuv nuve
become alinont proverbial. The dcleat of the party to
which he belong* seem* to have given additional acer
bity to the native malignity of the "galvanized cor|ise''
that conduct* it, and to have addeo inciea*ed fury to
the madness that controls him. The editor has dealt
in falsehood so long that hi* moral faculty hn* become
deranged, anil it ap|iears to be impoHsible for him now
to di*iingui*h between the true and the fal?e. Hi*
impudence has ceased to produce the least astonivh
ment, and is beginning to be absolutely ridiculous.
When he undertakes to lament over what he call* the
proscription of the present Admini*lration, and the
removal of his very meiitorious and innocent political i
tiicnds, who have been, or are to be, thrown out of
office for their violent partisanship, neglect of duty,
and o|>en interference with the freedom of elections,
one can scarcely tell whether to laugh or be sad.
There i* evidently a want of originality in the jere
miad* in which he indulges, and it would seem as il
he had been carefully perusing the National Republi
can paper* ot and had seized upon and employed
the complaints uttered by the Whig journal* of that I
day, when the real proscription of Jackson was car
ried to such an extent a* to "make the land pule," and
to claim tor the rule of the iron-willed despot the very
just designation of the "reign of terror." In one short
1/ear two-thousand men were unceieinoniously and
cruelly ejected from office, their character* attempted
to lie blasted by the official organ, and their families
reduced, in many cases, to absolute poverty, merely
for indulging their opinions, and, perha|>s, giving those
opinions utterance, though they had not interfered
with the elections, and hud faithfully and efficiently
discharged their official duties. The brawling politi
cian wa* put in, and the useful officer turned out,
against whom, in nine cases out of ten, scarcely an
objection, moral or official, could be urged. These
removals, moreover, were made in the most summary
and unfeeling manner. The proscrilicd wore rudely
thrown out, and, to justify the act, were falsely charged
with peculation, fraud, drunkenness, &e., Ac., and
afterward* persecuted by the Administration. Can
these men now have the assurance to complain and
murmur, after having been guilty of the injustice 1
have mentioned, and ever since fed at the public ex
pense, while those whose placet they wrongfully seized
were left tostaive.or, intheelegant language of the or
gan of that day, "to root hog or die 1" it is utterly ab
surd and impudent to talk now about the cruelty of re
moving from office the very men that advocated the
system in Ih2!t, and have justified it ever since. Even
handed justice has commended, at last, the poisoned
chalice to their own lip*. It in their own doctrine,
and habitually illustrated during the preceding admin
istrations, and their complaints now are calculated to
excite contempt, rather than sympathy. The truth is, j
the existing Administration has not gone half far
enough. Fhe evil wa* first introduced by Jackson,
at the instance, it was said, of Van Buren, and it can
not now lie stopjied, without doing manifest injustice
to those who have been laboring tor reform, and csiie
cially to such as have been proscribed by the former Ad
minislrution*. Are inen who removed others without
tho lea-it cau-e, and who may lie inferior in moral
worth and efficiency, to be Jed and pampered at the
public expense, while the wronged and injured ore
still to be eicluded from public employment 1 The
thing is loo absurd and monstrous to be countenanced
for a moment. The great principle of restoration
avowed by Gen. Hnrri*on should l>e adhered to, and
it* abandonment will lie a great political error, as well
as an absolute injustice. It is nothing more than sheer
justice, l<ec?use it is but restoring to the injured that
of which they have been wrongfully deprived, while
il thus rebukes and condemns the original acl of pro
scription. Il is a principle so obviously right and pro
jier that no one can object to or complain of its opera
tion! and lo abandon il would be to do a palpable wrong
and lo disappoint public eijiectalion. If the Loco
Foco office-holder* are nol to lx- removed, the Whigs
will t?e justly chargeable with falsehood, inasmuch a*
i hey have, for the last twelve year*, attributed corru|?
lion and profligacy to the preceding AdiuiiiiHtr.il ion?,
and now lo retain the very agent* who were employed
by them to work out their iniquities, would certainly
look very much as it these charges had lieen founded
in falsehood. The people require reform If il be
not effected they will have labored in vain, and the
change of administration will have resulted ill no good.
In the execution of this imperative duly, the President
and his Cabinet must not be swayed by feeling, iiarti
allly, or prejudice. The sufferings of the past musl be
remembered as well a* the complaint* and groan* of I
the present No sympathy was felt for their friend*

large, before the mass of individual cases could be
acted ujion. I for one, however, believe that the
present administration will not disregard the wishes
of the people, on the subject of "reform," so fully
and loudly proclaimed, in the recent election but
will carry out that principle, both in measure* and
men, notwithstanding the veilings of the Locofoco
press, led on by the Washington Globe? Proscrip
tion! proscription! is the cry of this kennel, upon
the dismissal of u few clerks and agents, every one of
whom, no doubt, were removed for good and ample
cause?a* is well known to have been the case with
rome, but this cry of proscription ! could not come
from any quarter with a worse grace than from the
Globe, which justified removals during the late reign
ol terror, tor opinions sake only. Hut the present
unlike the former administralions, is satisfied with
ridding the country of those whom it deem* improper
agents, and does not attempt to traduce their character
as was formerly done. Many, very many cases could
be cited, where excellent men have been din.issed
clerks of long standing, with large families, wholly
dependent upon them for support, against whom not
a shallow ol charge could be brought, except their
political opinions, and sometimes, indeed where they
were not politicians, to make way for some young
men without families, and without any claim or quali
/iication for the nituationsto which they are appointed
except partisanship ol an active and noisy character.
borne instances of this kind of heart-rending character I
have occurred in this city, when the parlies were aged
and helpless, and afier having served the country the I
greater part of their lives, have l>een turned out in '
their old age, literally to starve, yet the Globe, was
perfectly satisfied ;?this was not proscription. One
ca*e of great hardship, occurred last week, where a
most excellent and worthy man was dismissed by a
Loco, simply, as is believed, on political grounds?of
his worth, ability, industry and intelligence he has
ample vouchers from those in the office in which he
f '.I who tvall altln In mr|m,. ha ?atva.I
faithfully for years, in a temporary situation, with an
absolute promise from time to time, that he should re- ,
ceive a permanent appointment, yet one stranger af
ter another was brought in, and permanently appoint
ed over him, up to the Ud or 3d of March, when some
were brought in, only on political grounds, anil final
ly, ami without cause, this man was dismissed, under
the eyes of his own party, for no offence, but simply
Iccau e his superior officer was a Loco, and had the
/>oiccrtodo it; this I presume, the Globe would not
call proscription.
Hut to return from this little digression. Reform
is called for?it was part of the Whig inolto, and re- j
ceived the sanction and voice of that part ofthe Amer
ican people, which called Presidents Harrison and
lylcrtorule the destinies of this Republic for this
four years. That the measures of this administration
will be different from the former, there is no doubt,
but can these different measuies bo carried out vig
orously, actively and efficiently, by those who are op
posed to them, und who strove, and labored, fought
and bled, pecuniarily, to defeat them I We think
not. For mere opinions sake, no limn should be dis
missed, unless his situation should be *uch, that those
opinions would interfere with the faithful discharge of
his duties, under the orders of his superior officers.
But where executive officers have hern actively en
gaged, by wining s(leaking, distributing documents, j
or contributing their means for party purposes, such
men should be dismissed; and such dismissals are
not proscription, but justice, and in accordance with
the true principles of our institutions. This cry of
proscription, by the GloW, a jiaper that openly and
avowedly sanctioned and justified the removal of per
sons op|M>*ed to the former administrations, should
awaken the Whigs from the lethargy into which they
are tailing. II /ty has this hardened sinilrr put on
the ^arb of a preacher of righteousness I Why do I
we find the wolf in sheep's clothing? The'questioh is
easily answered? i he Locofoco parlv is now well
drilled, and wellpnid, because, paid by the government, j
and keep them thus, und atMlie end of four years this
fact will lie fully proved by the entiie overthrow of
I lie Whig parly. Uive them place and influence, and so
long as the people ore not ground doirn, by actual
want and starvation, that party may defy the efforts
of thetrue liiends of this country to relieve it from
their tyranny?nay, permit them to remain, and lei
(he wise and salulary measures of the present parly
in power bring that relief to our suffering country
which it so much needs, cx|>ccts and will no doubt
rsecive and my life for it, these ineenuous Locos will
claim the whole credit, and by brazen-faced lyinu
and impudence make the people believe it, and thus
defeat the Whigs with the weapons they have putin
I heir hands. It is this consummation that is desired
by the Globe and its friends. They want their min
ions to retain their power that the people may still be
deceived, and may not realize the difference between
their servants and m isters. They have so long lorded
it over us, that we could scarce realize the chanire but
having once realized it, and tasted the blessings of
leedom, we might not, be so easily again gulled into
HiLir traps and yoke ourselves to their chariots

I must, therefore, beg of you the favor to permit me,

I would premise that the Executive Committee, by
their resolution of Septeu.ber last, published in your

Mr. Gurley s request, in ttlt* of the Hoard of Directors
for an extension of the time allowed him; and, cons,
quently, could nol assume authority to recall him but
they him to act on /ii. o,rn responsibility to

ot the.S|?ecial Committee in your paper of this day, |
that they were all acquainted with the fact, that the

L,?d ! said my mother, what is all this story about 7
... c?c^ u '"'"i Pll,d Y'orick?and one of the best
ol it? kind I ever heuid.
Tristram Shandy.
It happened one evening in the early part of Au
gust, I H it), that four old cionies met in the vicinity of
Liadsby s hotel, and made merry together.
Of these four, one chanced to be a Whig. The
other three were L*oeo-JoeoK, and very proud of being
so. 1 hey sought no inilder terin by which to char
acterize theii jiolilical faith?they actually rejoiced in
radicalism.
It would have been very strange at that period for
four men to meet together, even upon an occasion of
merriment, without talking of (Kilitic*. These did
talk oi politic:*, and though differing, yet did not dina
Kree?-they were friends of long standing, and reflect
ed the honesty of each other's opinion*. Two of
them, as it happened, earned their bread and meat by I
working at tle*ks in one of the public offices?of
course neither of these was the whig. j
" My worthy olil friends," said the whig, " i am
sorry in hear you expiess such a determination, though
1 dwubt not vou will thnk lietler of it when "
I liink better ol it! ' interrupted the loco-locos,
" We have thought of it, my dear fellow !?it is an ar
ticle in our political faith?a conviction of our con
science*. Should General Harrison l>o elected we
will instantly re*ign our offices. Is it reasonable to
sup|>ose that an Executive can receive such zealous as
sistants as is its due from suinirdmatcs whose wishes
incline to the overthrow rather than the support of the
Administration, We are not mete clerks?we are ?
component pails of the Executive brancfi of the Fed- I
eral Government. Yes, in that event we will resign. I
We are members of the democratic church, Hnd our
faith requires it, under pain of excommunication."
" Nonsense I" said the Whig. " Listen to my sto
ry, and endeavor to discover its moral."
" One afternoon a rentable old bull, Jonathan
Hull whose sire was the famous old bull John, was on
his way homo amusing himself as he walked along by
chewing the cud, ('ofsweot and bitter fancies' may
bo,) when he was surprised and interrupted in his ru
minations by the sound ol a small voice, which came
he knew not whence, and which, after a while, he dis
covered to proceed from a mu?<|uito who had rested
upon one of his horns and was pleading extreme fa
tigue in justification of the liberty he had taken.?
Make yourself comfortable my dear, *aid Jonathan
Hull, so fur from being disturl?ed by your weight, un
til you *|Hike I was really notawuie of your presence."
The Loco-focos laughed at this st..ry of the Whig,
and good humoredly acknowledged " that he had hit
them willi hi* old table."
"You have not heard all of the story." said the
Wing, "remind me of it about the middle of April
next, and then I will tell you the rest."
A few nights since these old cronies met again in
the same place, ngiiri to make merry. They *tu| liore
the same relation to each oilier to the public office and
strange as it may seem, " to the democratic church."?
(" This was sometime a paradox," &c.)
" Now," said the Loco-foco, '? tell us the rest of the
story alxiut Jonathan Hull and themusquito."
i n'' " S#''' l'1C " The iiiu*4|uito lieing so
kindly s|N>ken to, retained his place U|sin the bull'*
horn; and presently, when the bull stopiied lo lake
a drink Irom a brook which crossed his path recog
nizing a myriad of his friend, among the we.,1* ??.Tn
the bank, encouraged the,? to take quarter* with him
descanting largely upon the 'advantage* of the I,na
tion. It neMnd no gieat js-r*uasion to 'induce them
to tor^ake their dreary ab,Klrn tor a *|?ot which proini*?
, eci Ruch " advantage*,' and accordingly they came,
until not only the horns, but the whole front of the
hull was covered by the relations of the musquito.?
Hy the time the bull rear-lied the farm yard, llie mus
<|Uitos, though timid at first, had I eootne *o secure in
ixmsession ol the premim's, that when Ihe tarmer ap
proa< bed to feed ihe bull, a large swnrm of Iheni fli-w
angrily at the old man, anil slung him so severely ihst
he was glad to run awny, leaving hi* (**f Jonathan
supjierlesa. This lieing done, lliey resumed their
quaiter* iqion the bull's front, ami encouraged by the
impunity with which they hud rested U|K>n him, liegan
to leeil upon him remorselessly ami voruciously. The
bull mildly remonstrated that to many of them would
eat him out of house and home. They not only ridi
Cu.e.l hi* remonstrance, l>ut would not be thnken off
ami the bull being naturally amiable as well as slug- <
gish, made up hi* imrid to grin and bear it. When
morning came the farmer again approached hi*bull,

ted hiiu inlo a fe*er, and that In* wbolt>*y*U>ui wa? 111
a very inflamed condition. The cow tloclor being in
sUntiy called in felt the bull'* puUc, and with ? ?ad
countenance proclaimed bin ca*i to be hoplrs*. 1 bo
bull heard the decision with philosophical calmnee-i
" Doctor," laid he, " remember ine affectionately to the

Mr. Am.cn : Your Editorial of the VJ3d in relation to
prson* who are aaking for appoiutinent to office, i* lia
ble to a construction somewhat erroneous It repre
vent* the appointment to place* of lru?t and Mtoluiuent
under Government, a* *ought for and conferred aimply
a* a mea*ure of relief to whom it i? granted. Nu*
thin i* doing inju*tice to them. 1 admit that reliel is ii
part of the motive for aaking an appointment; but, it
i# by no mean* the whole object. We have heard and
wen much that ha* been aaiil and written during the
late adinini.nation, of coriuption and mal practice in
ollice, and that the administration ?f the Government
wa* conducted, not a* it should tie, for tbe good ol the
whole, but for the benefit of ihoso employed in tbe ad
miniatration. And that the revenue wa* squandered,
and made to subserve purp.es not contemplated by the
framer* of tbe Conatitution. And we believed it - ami
we luve tendered our services to the head* of the Dc
|>artmenU>, to asaist them in bringing to light those
practice*, and in correcting those abuac*. We heard
with satiafuclion from the U. S. Senate, that new book*
were to be opened on the 4th of March, 1H41, and wo
suppoaed I hut new book-keeueis would then be want
ed, to *upply the place* of luo*e who had originated,
and been employed in carrying out those corrupt mea
sure* so much complained of. We inay have been mis
taken, but we thought that the Comptroller*, and Au
ditors, and clerk* who had allowed improper vouchers,
and pa**cd improper account*, could not be fit person*
for tbe new administration to employ in ferreting out
those things, and in correcting those abuses, and that
the new Secretaries might feel greatly embarrassed,
and hindered in their measures of reform, if Ihey were
unable to avail thejn*elve? of the labor of those in
whom they could place implicit confidence,?whoso
view* and sentiment* coincided with their own. But
if your Editorial may be taken a* indicating their
view* upon the subject, they wish it understondby us,
that they do not and shall not want any of our assis
tance. If this i* their settled policy, we are undet ob
ligations to you for making it known to us, and will
improve the hint, by di*persing ourselves to our sever
al places of icsidence, and not continue here on ex
pense, in the vain hope of serving either our Country
or ourselves. And leave to future developments ot
the administration the solution of the problem, wheth
er there has been frauds practiced upon the people, or,
whether those agents who have been employed in the
perpetration of them, are fit persons to employ in ex [lo
sing and correcting them.

MANSION AND FARM AT NORTH BEND.
General Harrison's residence at North Bend con
sists of a centre house of two stories, now covered
with clapboards, but which the General told us i*
really built of log*, and twoclap-boarded wings of one
story each. It stands about a quarter of a mile from
the Ohio, in a grass park, having a few cherry trees
in the distance, and several laburnums close lo the
door. The park may contain forty or fifty acre*, en
closed with a rail fence. A foot-path worn in the
grass, but not formed by art, leads from tbe gate to the
door of the house. The floor of the house is about
fifteen or eighteen inches above the gra*B, and
three stone* of increasing thickness, undressed, not
built on each other, but each laying on the ground,
at successive distance* serve as step to sunnount this
height. The centre house has much the appearance
of a log cabin. The principal room in it w.jaJNWd*
finished, ^"however, is finished lllte a modern
house and comfortably furnished as a drawing room.
Between the park and the river a canil is forming, to
connect Cincinnati with the interior of the State.
General Harrison was suffering from a violent head
ache when we arrived, but Mrs. Harrison gave us a
kind welcome, and the General at length appeared.-?
He is now sixty-seven, rather above the middle stature,
and he stoops considerably. His temperament is ner
vous and bilious, his head is long, of lull overage
height but not remarkably broad. The anterior lobe
is above an average, both in length from front to back,
and height; and both the observing and reflecting or
uans are well develop. The head is obviously flat
in the region of acquisitiveness. The moral region
seemed to present an average development. Ills eye
is vivacious, and his countenance is highly expressive
of thought, indeed, his whole appearance is much
more that of a literary or scientific man, than ol n mili
tary commander, lbs habitation piesented unequivo
cal indication* of humble fortune; indeed I may say
(and I say it without the least feeling of disrespect) ot
uoTcrtv; yet his manner and appearance were tho*o
of a man of the world, who was familiar with the best
?ociety, nnd who in the retirement of Ins farm at North
Dendj retained the pliah and appearance of a gentle
11 making lhe*e remarks, I may appear to lie trcs
lassing beyond the limit* of legitimate publication,
ind trenching on the privacies of domestic lite ; but
it the time of my visit, and for many subsequent
nonths all the circumstances of General Harrison s
?onduct and condition, private as well as public, were
I escribed and discussed in almost every periodical of
he Union : and I state little here that is not as pub
ic in the United States as the noonday *un.
Immediately after dinner we retired and walked
with him over part of his farm. It i* his own proper
y and we arc told extends to about 1500 acre., part
,f his wife'* dowry. From the rising ground behind
lis house, the view is highly beautiful, embracing two
led* of the Ohio and it* picturesque banks. At first
t was intended to plant on tlii* s|s>t tho great city of
he west; but it is *aid that tbe commanding officer ol
the district entertained an affection for the wife ot a
leriieant who wa* then stationed at Cincinnati, anil
[his induced him lo remove In* troop there, fiom which
-ircuinstance the town sprang into being. Heninu
the General's house is a large garden, in which was a
while headed eagle, with only oneleg It was pre
sented to liiin by a convention of his political friend*.
The raptors of the eagle had dislocated its leg, and
Dr Thornton, the General's son in law bell ving it
to be broken, amputated it The friend who inlro
luced us to the General, ?nid " General Harrison has
iiroinised lo keep the eagle till the 4th of March ncx ,
when we hop he will go lo the While House. Ah
