THOMPSON'S COAST PILOT. G5 At this time there are in process of erection in Toledo, many handsome dwellings, numerous handsome blocks of stores, a post office and custom house, by the General Government, and a first class hotel. These two latter buildings, from the plans we have seen, would do credit to any city, and when completed, can be classed among the most elegant structures. No city in the State can boast of finer private residences than Toledo; and the general character of the buildings erected in the past four years is substantial and ele- gant. PERRYSBURGH, The capital of Wood county, Ohio, is situated on the right bank of the Maumee River, 18 miles above its entrance into Maumee Bay, the southern termination of Lake Erie.

A side cut here connects the Wabash and Erie Canal with the river. The Toledo and Illinois Railroad also passes through this place. It contains five churches, ten stores, four flouring-mills, three saw-mills one oil-mill, and other manufacturing establishments propelled by -'water-power, the supply being here almost inexhaustible.

One mile below the town is Old Fort Miami, one of the early British posts. 5 Mavumer River rises in the northeast part of Indiana, and flow- ing northeast, enters Lake Erie, through Maumee Bay. It is about 100 miles long, navigable 18 miles, and furnishing an extensive. water-power throughout its course. Tue Crry or Moyros, capital of Monroe county, Michigan, is
