Point Pleasant, O., July 27.—Michael Heisch, owner of the old house where Gen. Grant was born, has three propositions for the purchase of the building, one of which is from a committee of gentlemen living in this (Clermont) county, who wish the house to be kept where it is, and another from the Union club of Philadelphia, who, if successful, will have it removed to Philadelphia, to be permanently located in Fairmount Park. It is a single story house and could easily be transported on cars. Last fall its present owner repaired the building to some extent, but the framework and foundation are just as they were sixty-three years ago. The third proposition is from a Cincinnati gentleman, who will, if he succeeds in purchasing the building, have it removed to Eden Park, Cincinnati.
