The former is occupied by Mr. Frenc . The atter, used by the Conservatory of Music, will soon make wav for Warner Hell. At the time of their erection these buildings were considered by many good citizens as extremely extravagant. Cincinnati, or Slab Hall, a cut of which appears on ourrear cover, was constructed in 1835, to accommodate accessions from Lane Seminary. It was a one-story building 144 feet long and 24 feet wide.
