The school was chartered by the Legislature of Ohio, in 1845, and enjoys all the advantages and dignities ever conferred upon such institutions.
Clinical Medicine and Surgery are taught by the Professors oc- cupying those chairs, two days in each week, at Newton's Clinical Institute, on the corner of Sixth and John streets, where every ex- ertion is made to initiate the student into the actual bedside prac- tice of medicine. Here are collected a variety of diseases from all parts of the country, and the lecturers endeavor to explain each case so fully that the student cannot fail to thoroughly understand its nature and mode of treatment. Many of the major operations of surgery take place in this establishment, where cvery student has an excellent opportunity of observing the mode of procedure in each case.

EDUCATION.
Every exertion has been made to render the Museum interesting and satisfactory, and additions are being constantly made. Pri- vate collections have been added, and arrangements have been made with gentlemen engaged in the pursuit of the natural sci- cnces to secure valuable cabinets of specimens from all the de- partments of natural history. There is also an extensive Materia Medica cabinet.
The contributions of rare and valuable books made to the Library collection, have added greatly to its attractions. Plates, maps, draw- ings, etc., have been donated by friends, and arrangements have been made to supply the Library-room plentifully with papers from all parts of the country, and a general assortment of American and European Medical Journals.
Newton's Clinical Institute, 297 Sixth street, Cincinnati, O .- This is one of the most spacious and pleasant buildings in the city, furnished in the most modern style, with bells, gas, hot and cold water; with bath-rooms with cold and warm water. Persons while remaining here, can have every attention paid, in the rooms, or otherwise, that may be desired. The fine airy location, with the above advantages, cannot fail to render this one of the most desira- ble homes for the afflicted to be found in the country; and in large cities this is quite difficult to obtain. We feel assured, in making the above announcement, that the afflicted will duly appreciate the efforts which have been made to build up in this city one of the most extensive and convenient institutions for the benefit of the sick, that can be found in the United States; and all such as visit Cincinnati, to be treated by the proprietor, may rely upon every attention they may wish during their sickness. Here persons from home, and persons who wish to visit the city for medical purposes, and wish to be perfectly private, are provided for.
Many times persons wish to absent themselves for a few days or weeks, and remain where they can be entirely secluded from the cares of business and friends: all such can be fully accommodated in this particular.
Extensive experience warrants him in saying, that he knows that he can and will give satisfaction to all who may visit the Institution for medical advice or treatment. Here is a home, and at the same time a perfect private retreat for all who desire it.
He does not confine himself to the treatment of any exclusive disease, but will attend to any persons who call for medical aid.

The College is located on Walnut, between Fourth and Fifth sts.
The course of instruction is as full and thorough as any Medi- cal College can give in a session of sixteen weeks. Each of the six Professors gives a full course of Lectures in his department, and is assisted by all the requisite apparatus, specimens, draw- ings, etc. The Demonstrator affords those who dissect every facility for acquiring a full and minuto knowledge of Anatomy. Students have the privilege, in common with those of other Col- Jeges, of attending Clinical Lectures and witnessing Surgical operations twice a week in the Commercial Hospital. Clinical instructions are also given in the College by the Professors of Surgery and Medical Practice, whenever patients can be induced, by gratuitous treatment, to appear before the class. It is the con- stant effort of the Faculty to encourage independence of thought and practice on the part of their students.

EDUCATION.
The Physio-Medical College of Ohio, formerly known as the Botanico-Medical College, is the oldest of the institutions that teach the system of reformatory medicine. It was commenced at Columbus in 1836, and was the first of these schools that secured legal protection by a special charter from the State Legislature. It possesses a Library; Geological and Conchical cabinets; a val- uable Herbarium; and the Anatomical, Chemical and Scientific facilities peculiar to Medical Colleges.
Its course of instruction embraces all the departments of medi- cal science. The following medical gentlemen constitute the Fac- ulty : D. B. Wiggins, D. McCarthy, Z. Hussey, W. H. Cook, S. E. Carey, T. W. Sparrow.
Its sessions are at present held in the building of the Cincinnati College; but its Directors are making arrangements to raise an edi- fice exclusively for the purposes of the institution. W. H. Cook, M. D., is Dean of its Faculty.
This College is very popular among medical reformers through the whole United States.
Ohio College of Dental Surgery .- This Institution was char- tered by the Legislature of Ohio, January 21, 1845, and went into operation on the first Monday of November, 1846. It is under the supervision of the following Board of Trustees: B. P. Aydelott, M. D., President; Israel M. Dodge, M. D., Hon. Wmn. Johnson, Robert Buchanan, Calvin Fletcher, Esqrs., and Dr. J. M. Brown, of Cincinnati; G. L. P. Hempstead, M. D., of Portsmouth; Sam'l Martin, M. D., of Xenia; and Dr. Hildreth, of Marietta.
The College building and lot are owned by an association of Dentists called the " Ohio Dental College Association," and cost about ten thousand dollars, and is the first and only building ever erected for the purpose of Dental education.
The new College building was opened the first Monday of No- vember, 1854. The graduates of the school are exerting a bene- ficial influence on the profession at large, and the Institution may be regarded as a permanent affair.
The regular course of Lectures commences the first Monday of November of each year, and closes about the 20th of February. Tickets for the entire course cost $105, including Matriculation ; and the Diploma fee is $30.

Bartlett's Commercial College, N. E. corner of Third and Walnut sts .- This is an institution in which, beyond all question, the most thorough and scientific mercantile education in the world can be obtained. There may be Mercantile Colleges in which the princi- ples of book-keeping may be as thoroughly taught, so far as relates to the opening, posting and balancing of accounts; but Mr. Bart- lett, after ten years of labor, unparalleled in this line, has com- pleted a quarto volume which forms the basis of his commercial tuition, and the principles and details of which, when mastered by the scholar, qualify him to meet and dispose of any and every busi- ness problem which foreign or domestic commerce may render it his interest to solve. This volume-stereotyped-comprehends every description of Commercial and Banking tables, embracing time, simple interest, unexpired time and interest; interest, ac- count current, tiine and average; compound interest, scientific discount, both simple and compound; annual income and annuity tables, equally adapted to the currencies of all commercial nations; the true or intrinsic value of the gold and silver coins and the standard weights and measures of all commercial countries. Also American, English, French and German exchange ; together with the exchange of Brazil, and the importation of Rio coffee. Ar- ranged with reference to the harmonizing of the accounts and ex- changes of the world-the whole upon an original plan.
Here is not, as some persons might apprehend, a mere collec- tion of tables or statistics, but the exhibition and development and illustration of a principle, novel and ingenious, which applies to all the periods, fractional or otherwise, of times, and to the currencies of the whole world.

THE first recorded enumeration of the buildings of Cincinnati, was made in July, 1816, when they were found to number 1070: of stone, 20; of wood, 800; and of brick, 250. Of these, 660 were tenanted by families; 410 public buildings, shops, warehouses and offices, making up the residue.
In March, 1819, the dwellings and warehouses of the city were again numbered, and found to be-
