This eminent, and truly National Insurance Company, doing business in all the States and Territories of the Union, has, by an honorable and liberal course of dealing, in all its transactions, se- cured for itself the confidence and esteem of every community; and its name, "Phoenix," has become a " household word," and familiar to almost every person throughout the land. In respect to Losses - part and parcel of the insurance business - the Phoenix has cause to be proud of the reputation she has acquired in the settlement thereof-the facilities furnished claimants in the making up of their proofs - denied by many companies -fair and liberal adjustments, avoiding a resort to technicalities in order to reduce or stare a claim - and the prompt cash payment of all honest Losses-recommends and entitles the Phoenix, in a very especial

manner, to the confidence and patronage of the mercantile commu- nity.
The Phoenix Insurance Company was incorporated by the Legis- lature of Connecticut under a perpetual Charter, with a Cash capi- tal of Two Hundred Thousand dollars -- Assets, at this time, amounting to Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand dollars-and constantly enlarging-invested in the most reliable securities of the country, and of such a character as to be convertible into Cash at any moment. This is real and tangible, and pledged for the payment of Losses occurring under their policies. Since its incorporation, the Phoenix Company has transacted a large, and on the whole, a prosperous business throughout the Union; and the mauner in which the affairs of the Company have been managed, has inspired unusual confidence in the minds of the public toward the Phoenix- so that their Policies are eagerly sought after.

NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL ROUTES.
RAILROADS.
OF all modern inventions, the Railway is, for the purposes of commerce, the most useful, and the one which has most influence on the destiny of interior towns. It has afforded interior cities a power far greater than those on the ocean coast, by giving them the means of creating artificial radii, and lines of commerce to every point of the great circumference, by which they are surrounded ; and if going beyond that, and traversing mountains and valleys, to the remotest parts of the continent. In this respect, Cincinnati stands pre-eminent. Another section of this publication has else- where exhibited her superiority in centrality of position, in the vast area of which she is the metropolis, and in possessing the shortest radial lines to the great parts. It is evident, however, that the Railway is essential to give a vital, practical power to these supe- rior natural advantages. Clearly seeing this, her citizens com- menced at an early day to plan and execute great lines of Railway, which should connect this city with the principal cities of the At- lantic and the Lakes. In doing so, they were greatly aided by the corporate subscriptions of the city of Cincinnati. A large part of the railway lines originally planned, have been completed; others, however, important and vital to the interests of this city, yet remain unfinished. In the following Table of Railways, complete and in- complete, it has been aimed, first to distinguish them as commercial lines, rather than as separate roads; and secondly, to discriminate the Cincinnati lines, by taking all those which proceed directly from the city, however long, and no others. In this relation, the New York lines terminate at Cleveland; the Philadelphia line at Pitts- burg; the Baltimore lines at Wheeling; the North line direct at Sandusky; the Northwest line at Chicago; the West line at St. Louis ; the Southwest line at Nashville ; the direct South line at Pensacola, and the Southeastern lines at Savannah, Charleston, and Norfolk.

It will thus be seen that we have the full use of 3232 miles of Railway, and that there are 4789 miles of other roads, more than one-half of which are completed and in use, and as soon as the residue is finished, which must be the case in a few years, we shall be in full connection with upward of eight thousand miles of Railway.
There are two roads, leading from Cincinnati, not embraced in the above, because they have not been constructed, although much in the way of preparation has been done. There are on the way, the Dayton Short Line, fifty-two miles, and the Cincinnati and In- dianapolis Junction Railroad, one hundred miles in length.
This last railway connects with the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad at Hamilton, and runs via Oxford, Connersville and Rushville, to Indianapolis. The work ready for the iron is done, including bridges, ties, etc., as far as Evansville, and the iron down to Oxford ; and the balance to Evansville will be down du- ring the year.
This road runs through the very best portion of Indiana, and will add a valuable link to the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad.

XII. SUBURBS.
Cincinnati is surrounded with suburbs of charming natural fea- tures and highly judicious improvement. They form, to a great extent, residences for those of our citizens who wish to combine the enjoyment of the country with their city employments and pur- suits. Two of these, only, will be referred to in this place, and simply to describe their educational features-College Hill and Glendale.
College Hill is six miles-nearly north-from the city, and among other attractions, is the seat of two very important educational es- tablishments-Farmers' College for young men, and the Ohio Fe- male College, for young ladies.
A lithographic view of this last named establishment will be found in this volume. It will afford a general idea of the build- ings and grounds.
The main edifice-one hundred and fifty by eighty-one feet, and in height three stories, besides a basement and attic-is a model of architectural taste. But its chief excellence consists in a perfect system of ventilation, connected with a plan of warming by steam, so complete as to secure a uniform temperature throughout the entire building, and a change of air in every room once in thirty minutes. In these features it is more extensive and complete than any building, public or private, in the State. By these various ar- rangements, pure air, so essential to physical health and mental vigor and elasticity, pervades every apartment. This is of the highest importance in educational establishments, and parents and guardians having daughters and wards to educate, should pay great

attention to this subject, as impure air in school-rooms and bed- rooms sends many a youth of bright promise to an early grave.
The Ventilation .-- About one hundred feet from the school edi- fice, has been built a brick tower, or flue, fifteen feet high, and through an apparatus of sheet iron on the top, the air is drawn into this tower and conveyed under the building by a brick duct. This duct is under ground and laid in cement, so as to be always dry. It is five and a half feet deep and four and a half feet wide, and two hundred and fifty feet long, and contains thirty thousand bricks. It extends from the base of the tower to the furthest extremity of the building, and connects with six air chambers, each seven fect deep, seven feet wide, and fifty feet long, which are also walled up and paved with brick and cement.
From these air chambers, flues extend to all the rooms and halls in the building, each room and hall having its own flue to supply pure air, and an additional flue to carry off the impure air, the sup- ply and discharge of which are regulated by registers. The fresh air flues all terminate in three rooms under the three cupolas, in each of which is a coil of steam pipes, by which the air is rare- fied, and thereby creates a circulation sufficient to change the air in every room once in thirty minutes.
The Warming .- About two hundred feet from the main build- ing is a boiler house, in which are two boilers for generating steam, a small engine and steam pump, and a great variety of apparatus connected with the economy of the establishment.
From these boilers, steam is conducted by pipes laid in a brick duct, to the six air chambers under the college building, where it passes through more than thirty thousand feet of pipe, and then returns into a receiver in the boiler house, and by the steam pump is forced into the boilers, to be converted anew into steam, and to perform again the same circuit. Fresh air from the top of the tower is constantly flowing through the air duct into these air cham- bers, and after passing over the heated pipes, rises through the flues to the rooms, and from the rooms, by the foul air flues, is dis- charged under the cupolas.
This gives all the rooms in winter a constant supply of pure, warm air, the temperature of which can be regulated at will, but it can never become impure, for whether hot or cold, it is always flowing in from the atmosphere outside.
238
SUBURBS.
The apparatus for warming and ventilating cost over ten thousand dollars.
Every room and hall in this edifice is lighted with rosin gas, and supplied with pure filtered rain water, and eight bath rooms, fur- nished with warm, cold and shower baths, are free to all the inmates.
The college owns twenty-three acres of ground ; four acres of which are used for a vegetable, fruit and flower garden, and kept in a high state of cultivation. The other nineteen acres, naturally beautiful and picturesque, are improved and adorned by the sci- ence and skill of a landscape gardener, who also has charge of a large conservatory of native and exotic plants and flowers.
