The great beauty of this Institution of learning, is that it is open to both sexes, furnishing to any young lady who may choose to enter upon a course of collegiate study, odvantages co- equal with that secured to male students. That these advanta- ges have been improved by a large number of young ladies, the Faculty are able to testify. Ohio and Iowa each have Institutions of this character, yet this is the only one in Indiana. Ohio has two-the Antioch College, at Yellow Springs, in Green county, and Baldwin University, (location not known to the writer ;) and Iowa one, at Mt. Pleasant.
This system of securing to woman that thorough education, heretofore so much neglected, and the broad and liberal develop- ment that shall make her not a doll of fashion, or an observant of vain and foolish flatteries, but a woman-a true companion, and fit to grace and adorn the sphere which it is her mission to fill.

HALLS AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
METROPOLITAN HALL.
This magnificent structure was commenced in 1858, by its pres- ent proprietor VALENTINE BUTSCH, Esq., and completed the same year, at a cost of $56,000. As its name indicates, it is a capital building ; a model in its inception, construction and fin- ish ; not only a credit to the enterprise of Mr. Butsch, but an ornament to the city of Indianapolis. It is situated on the cor- ner of West Washington and Tennessee streets, fronting 82 feet on the former, and 125 on the latter; built of brick, the entire front being finished with a grey cement, which imparts to it a beautiful and neat appearance. Although this Hall is not as large as "The National," of Boston, it is nevertheless quite as perfect in all its appointments and adaptations to dramatic per- formances, and an appropriate place of resort for those who would worship at the shrine of Thespis. The interior arrange- ment is of superior order, and will comfortably seat 2,000 per- sons. The decorations are second to none in the United States, while the rich and variegated frescoes, serve but to elicit the admiration of the most eminent connaiseurs of the fine arts. For the masterly touches, which lend such an air of enchantment to this much admired Hall, Mr. Butsch, as well as the theatre-going public, are indebted to an Italian painter from Cincinnati, while the act drop, representing "Youth," the first series of "Cole's Voyage of Life," was executed by our fellow-citizen, S. W. GULICK. Much of the new scenery has been painted by the celebrated scenic artist, Mr. Glessing, who is at present engaged at this Hall as scenic painter.
STATE HOUSE.
The erection of this house was commenced in the summer of 1832, and pushed vigorously forward; and although the com- missioners and contractors were allowed until the 1st of Novem- ber 1838, for its completion, yet it was finished in the fall of 1836, and occupied by the Legislature of that winter. The site occupied by the building was originally low, but after its final completion, the square was filled up as much as nine feet, and

planted in trees, which have grown to their present size, and present an air of beauty to the square, although the building is going into decay. It was built of brick, covered with stucco in imitation of sand-stone, the cost of which was about $60,000, and when first completed was regarded by the citizens of the State as a monument of taste and munificence. Its style of architecture is Doric, a large dome rising over the rotunda, sup- porting a cap ornament, modeled after the tomb of Lycidas. It, as well as the Governor's Circle and the Court House, was built by the fund derived from the sales of lots in the city.
ÆTNA BUILDING.
This building is situated on Pennsylvania street, and was erected by the AEtna Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn., and cost $22,000. It is four stories in height, with basement.

The building is 40 feet front on Pennsylvania, by 674 in depth, with an additional building in the rear, 222 by 60 feet, three stories high. "This fine building has been recently erected, and is another important addition to the architectural beauty of our city.

This new and elegant cut-stone building, situated on the south- east corner of Market and Pennsylvania streets, is nearing com- pletion, and will be ready for occupancy about the 4th of March next. It is three stories high, fire proof, fronting 65 feet on Market street, by 91 feet on Pennsylvania. The first floor will be occupied by the Post Office ; the second by United States offi- ces, and the third as the United States Court room. It has been four years in course of erection, and will cost, when fully com- pleted, about $150,000, the whole superintendency of which has been under the charge of EDWIN MAY, Esq., architect, of this city, who stands pre-eminently at the head of his profession.

It was completed in the year 1852, at a cost of about $100,000 to the State, and to which a large number of those who have the unutterable misfortune to be destitute of sight, are annually admitted, and taught not only the rudiments of a common education, but also the means of providing for their own subsistence by the acquisition of some of the mechanic arts, at which they very soon become adepts. The arrangement and manner in which this humane Institution is conducted can but impress the more fortunate with the benevolence of the design.

wood work has been left in its natural state. Hence, while it is remarkable for its solidity, it is permanent. The windows are of stained glass, and were erected by different persons, in memory of the dead of their respective families. Recently there has been placed in the tower a complete chime of nine bells, from the cele- brated manufactory of McNeely's Sons, Troy, conceded by many competent judges as the best ever cast by that celebrated firm.
This is the second Church built upon the present site. The first, a frame building, was opened for service on the 18th of November, 1838, and was used, up to the 24th of June, 1857, when the corner stone of the present building was laid, during the rectorship of the Rt. Rev. Joseph C. Talbott, D. D., now Missionary Bishop of the North-West. The Church was com- pleted and opened for divine service during the month of May, 1859.
Since the first organization of the parish, the following Cler- gymen have filled the position of Rector: Rev James Britton, Rev. Mason H. Hunter, Rev. Saml. Lee Johnston, Rev. Warren W. Camp, D. D.,Rt. Rev. Joseph C. Talbott, D. D., and the present incumbent, Rev. H. Stringfellow, jr. The present number of Communicants connected with the Church is about 190.
SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The Second Presbyterian Church was organized by the Rev. James H. Johnston, November 19th, 1838. On May 13th, 1839, a call was given to the Rev. Henry W. Beecher, which was ac- cepted, and he commenced his ministerial services in the Church July 31st, 1839. The Church edifice is situated on the north- west corner of Market and Circle streets. It was finished in 1840, and dedicated in October of that year. It contains 80 pews. August 24th, 1847, Rev. Henry W. Beecher resigned his pastoral charge of the Church, and removed to Brooklyn, New- York. In September, 1847, the Rev. S. G. Spees was tempora- rily employed to supply the pulpit, and continued his labors in the Church until April, 1848.
In April, 1848, the Rev. Clement E. Babb was invited to preach to the Church, which invitation was accepted. He commenced his labors on the 7th day of May. 1848, and on the 17th day of
