A four story with basement brick block, erected by Judge Blackford, on the south- east corner of Washington and Meridian streets, reflects great credit upon the en- terprise of the owner and the skill of the builder.


The Metropolitan Theater, erected by Valentine Butsch, and which has just been completed, although not so large as "The National" of Boston, is neverthe- less quite as perfect in its appointments and adaptations to the art dramatique, and an appropriate resort for those who would worship at the shrine of Thespis. It is 125 feet deep, by 82 feet in width, built of brick, the front being finished with a grey cement, which imparts to it a very neat appearance. The interior is well arranged and will accommodate two thousand per- sons. The decorations are second to none in the United States. The rich frescos which adorn the auditorium, and the act drop, exhibiting "Cole's Voyage of Life," were executed by S. W. Gulick, who, as a scenic artist, has won a reputation such as few of his profession have ever at- tained.


The new Court House and Post Office, when finished, will be the most substan- tial building in the State, and really the master piece, both in point of design and workmanship. Numerous other fine build- ings are in process of erection, which, when completed, will add much to the interest and beauty of the place.


THE INDIANAPOLIS BUILDING, LOAN FUND AND SAVINGS ASSOCIA- TION.


This association was organized in Au- gust, 1855, and shares to the number of 5623 were subscribed for by the members, each share being $500. The association has been in operation three years, and has, during that time, received for en- trance fees, monthly dues, interest and fines, the sum of $37,202 00; while it has loaned on 1904 shares redeemed, $32.219 00, and paid for 66 shares with- drawn, $2,053 50, and for expenses, $2,-

G. W. HAWES' INDIANA STATE


The whole number of shares being 5623, [ this company the Indianapolis and Cin- and of those redeemed, withdrawn and forfeited, 2703, there remain unredeemed and in force, 292. The money received for monthly dues, interest and fines is loaned to members of the association at cach regular monthly meeting.


This association has been the means of enabling a large number of its members (with limited resources ) to purchase houses of their own. The amount loaned is paid in monthly dues of $2 on each share, with interest on the sum so loaned; and by this process a large number of persons are now living in their own dwellings, at less than they would have to pay for rent, and with the advantage of reaping them- selves the increase in value of their pro- perty. The money loaned on the redemp- tion of shares is secured by mortgage on real estate worth double the amount loaned, making it secure beyond a doubt.


The plan, on which this association is organized and acts, is self-extinguishing, and it has been gradually closing up it- self from the very commencement, by the application of its funds at each monthly meeting in the purchasing of shares; thereby constantly reducing their num- ber. Taking the operations of the asso- ciation for the three years of its exist- ence, there is every reason to believe that it will close up in from seven to eight years from its organization.


While almost all classes of stocks are now, and have been, selling for much less than par, and very many cannot be sold at any price, the stock of this association has always sold at par, and is now at a premium, with an upward tendency. Per- sons who have spare means are purchas- ing this stock, as a safe and profitable in- vestment, assured that they can, at any regular meeting of the association, dis- pose of their shares, and get the funds at. once to enable them to purchase property, or make improvements.


The Union Railway Company was or- ganized in 1850, and the depot was fin- ished for the reception of the trains in the fall of 1853. The plan originated with John Brough and O. Hl. Smith, Esqs., and was carried into operation by the Madison, the Bellefontaine, and the Terre Haute Railroad Companies. It consists of a common trunk for all the railroads centering at Indianapolis, with a passen- ger depot erected upon it, in which the pas- sengers from all the roads enter and leave the cars, and where exchanges of cars are made without cost, for the passengers and baggage.


cinnati, and the Indiana Companies were admitted as equal partnera; and the Union Depot Companies, as it now exists, is composed of the Madison and Indiana- polis, the Bellefontaine, the Terre Haute and Richmond, the Indianapolis and Cin- cinnati, and the Indiana Central Com- panies as equal partners. The president of each of these companies being a di- rector of the Union Company, from whom a presiding officer is chosen.


The other companies are now using the Union Depot and tracks on rental; and as new roads are made to the city, ample . provision will be made for their admission to this new, indispensable arrangement.


The entire cost of the Union Depot, tracks and right of way is about one hun- dred and thirty thousand dollars.


There are eight railroads completed, and each has its terminus at Indiana- polis. This place is noted for its magni- ticent depots, especially for its main pas- senger station, or Union Depot, where all the railroads leading to the city connect. An idea may be conceived of the advan- tages accruing to the Railroad City from the fact that the citizens out of eighty of the ninety-one counties in the State can leave their homes, visit Indianapolis, at- tend to business, and return the same day. It is estimated that from three to four thousand persons visit the city every twenty-four hours, and that nearly one hundred different trains pass in and out of the city daily.


It has only one bank of issue, viz., the Branch Bank of the State of Indiana, with a capital of $150,000. The parent Bank is located here, and has a capital paid in of $2,271,826 02 up to 31st July, 1858. It has its branch banks located as follows, viz .: Lima, Laporte, Plymouth, South Bend, Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Lo- gansport, Indianapolis, Richmond, Con- nersville, Rushville, Madison, Jefferson- ville, New Albany, Bedford, Evansville, Vincennes, Terre Haute, Muncie and Law- renceburgh.


Indianapolis is noted for its fine and well regulated hotels. Perhaps no other city in the West can boast of as good hotels-being almost all houses of the first class. Among the most prominent are the Bates House, on the north-west corner of Illinois and West Washington streets-a very beautiful building. Little's Hotel, on the south-east corner of East Washington and New Jersey streets. This House has been in operation for twenty- eight years. Palmer House, on the south- east corner of Illinois and West Washing- ton streets. Wright Honse, south side of


This main trunk is connected with the several freight depots by branch tracks. Subsequently to the organization off Washington, between Meridian and Penn-

.sylvania streets. American Hotel, on Louisiana street, opposite Union Depot. There are several others, the Tremont, . Galt, Ray House, &c.


The city has no public free schools, but there are a number of private or select schools, each well attended, and under the care of competent preceptors; also, a high .school, well conducted, and under the charge of W. D. Henkle, resident and mathematical editor of the Indiana School Journal, Principal.


Indianapolis is the seat of a very fine University, entitled the "NORTH-WESTERN CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY." This institution is located in the north-eastern portion of the city of Indianapolis. The edifice is of brick, with stone foundation, -quoings and copings. The style of architecture is the Collegiate Gothic-happily blending the substantial with the symmetric and grace- ful. The campus is a plot of twenty-five acres, covered with the primitive forest whose rich foliage and dense shades can hardly fail to suggest to the classic stu- dent the consecrated glories of the ancient Academy. The age of this Institution is three years. Some of the evidences of its prosperity are the following, viz .: 1st, The attendance of students the first year was 113; second year, 145; third year, 178. 2d, The number of Literary grad- uates, 9; the number of Law, 4. 3d, The Literary Societies are two, the Mathesian and Pythonean, both prosperous and vigo- rous. 4th, The financial prosperity is in- dicated by the amount of stock secured to the Company, which is $103,800, besides $20,000 or $25,000 outstanding on unclosed subscriptions.


The usual chemical and philosophical apparatus is already secured, also a supe- rior cabinet of minerals. This Institution is under the patronage of the Christian Church. Its religious character is thus defined in the charter: "A part of the work of the Institution shall be to teach and inculcate Christian faith and Christian morality as taught in the Sacred Serip- tures, discarding as uninspired and with- out authority all writings, formulas, creeds and articles of faith subsequent thereto." Conformably to the spirit of the charter, the Bible is used as a text-book.


This is one of the healthful advances of the age. But why may not this book be- come general in our institutions of learn- ing, running as a golden thread through both the warp and woof of an American education, thereby, in the language of the Mathematical Professor of this Institution, "evincing to the world the wholesome truth that the groves of Academies are capable of growing both the tree of knowl- edge and the tree of life"?


The Institution is open to both sexes, furnishing to any young ladies who may so desire a course of study co-equal with that secured to male students. Of this feature the Faculty so far are able to speak favorably. While there are other colleges in the West, as Antioch and Baldwin Uni- versities, Ohio, and Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, embo:lying the same plan, there are none in this State but the one above named.


May not this system of education be one of the agencies of securing to woman that broad and liberal development that shall make her not a doll of fashion or an observant of popinjay flatteries, but a wo- man, a true companion and help meet for man?
