It was a healthy location, and is surrounded by a very fertile section of country, inhabited by moral, industrious, intelligent, and enterprising farmers, whose stalworth frames and sinewy hands burden the capacious warehouses of the town with the products of their farms.

The place has four stores, a school house and church, and there is a saw and flouring mill and distillery now being erected, is a point of very considerable commercial importance for the size of it, especially is it noted for buying and shipping of produce to distant markets.

Apple, potatoes, hay, pork, and other articles are shipped in proportion. The population is about 500.

VEVAY,
The county seat of Switzerland county, situated on the Ohio River, equidistant between Cincinnati and Louisville, Ky. It was laid out in the year 1813, by John Francis Denfour and Daniel Denfour, emigrants from the Canton De Vend, in Switzerland, Eorope, and in remembrance of their native town gave it its present name. The town is laid out on part of the land which was entered by John James Denfour and his associates, in the beginning of the present century, and on which an extended credit was given, by an act of Congress, with a view of encouraging the culture of the grape. The commerce of the town is confined chiefly to the shipping of produce to the southern markets, and is the point on the Ohio River to which most of the produce of the county is brought for shipment. It is remarkable that, as yet, there has never a case of cholera originated in the town. Many attribute that fact to the water used by the inhabitants—it being altogether cistern water that is used. It is a very healthy location. There are at present a Methodist, Baptist and New School Presbyterian church. The Catholics also have a small church started recently, which begins to increase in number. As yet they have no house of public worship, having rented for the time being a house for a chapel, but contemplate building a fine church. The Reformers have a congregation but no house of worship yet built. There is at present a very good school in the town under superintendence of the Rev. F. D. Bland. Population about 1,500.
