PREFACE

This work has been undertaken at the request of many-
respectable citizens generally interested in the diffusion of
useful information. No labor has been avoided nor expense
spared to render it one of the most complete of the kind
in the United States.

Numerous transcriptions, imperfect or mistaken answers
to enquiries, and the immense trouble and difficulty attend-
ing the numbering of houses, may be adduced as furnish-
ing powerful obstacles by retarding the progress of the
work, and will account for any omissions or inaccuracies
that may appear in the Directory.

If, notwithstanding these obstacles, the work should be
found tolerably Correct, the publisher indulges in the hope
that it will meet with the liberal encouragement of an en-
lightened public.

In this hope he commits the book to the world, certain
that every means by which information is conveyed, or
commercial convenience promoted and established, will be
appreciated ; and a work which aims at these important
objects, will meet with the encouragement to which he
trusts he is entitled for honest endeavors to promote the
general welfare.

encouraged the undertaking, the publisher begs leave to
tender his most grateful acknowledgments.

HISTORY OF CLEVELAND.

sofoc

Cleveland City and Port of Entry, is situated on
the East side of Cuyahoga River, at its mouth, on the
Southern shore of Lake Erie ; its site is on a gravelly
plain of considerable elevation above the waters of the
Lake, over which is a beautiful prospect. Distance — 140
miles N. E. from Columbus, 130 N. W. from Pittsburgh,
196 by water from Buffalo, and is exactly midway from
East to West of the Reserve ; being just 60 miles in a
direct line from each extremity; N. lat. 41p 3T W. long.
81° 46' or 4° 44" from Washington.

The city derives its name from Mr. Moses Cleveland,
the agent who accompanied the first surveying party.

In proparing for press the first Directory of Cleveland,
an opinion was entertained by the author, that the follow-
ing brief historical sketch of the origin of the title to the
soil on which the City is built, and its early condition and
progress, would not be uninteresting ; more particularly,
as most of the present inhabitants of the city have but
recently located themselves in it, and many of them, prob-
ably, have obtained but limited information in relation to
the origin of the title, which is somewhat peculiar.

The Western Reserve of Connecticut, in which the city
is so pleasantly situated on the South shore of Lake Erie,
and East side of Cuyahoga River, is a tract of country in
the State of Ohio, bounded East by the West line o{ Penn-
sylvania, South by the completion of the 41st degree of
North latitude, West parallel with the West line of Penn-
sylvania, and one hundred and twenty statute miles West
from it, extending North to 428 2', which was excepted

10 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND.

and reserved by the State of Connecticut, (and hence is
derived the name) in her deed of lands ceded to the United
States Sept. 13, 1786, to the lands in said Reserve, as well
as the- lands ceded to the U. States, Connecticut claimed
both the soil and the political jurisdiction, under and by
virtue of her charter from Charles II. This title, however,
was never fully admitted by some of the other Colonies;
yet to a limited extent, she actually exercised jurisdiction,
and about the year 1792, granted 500,000 acres of the
Western part of the Reserve to persons whose property
had been destroyed by fire in the towns of New London,
Groton, Fairfield and others, by the depredations of the
British in the Revolutionary war, whence originated the
appellation Fire Lands and Sufferer's Land Company. —
The residue of her Western Reserve lands, estimated at
three millions of acres, Connecticut sold to a company of
fifty-six -individuals, principally citizens of Connecticut
and Massachusetts, embracing many of the most intelligent
and enterprising men in those States. The Company re-
ceived a deed from Connecticut Sept. 5, 1795, and on the
same day granted the whole tract to John Caldwell, John
Morgan and Jonathan Brace, members of said company,
residing at Hartford, (all of whom are yet living and of
sound business mind,) in trust, for the benefit of all those
who then owned Scrip in the stock of said company, or
who should afterwards become owners therein, according
to articles agreed upon by the company, for the purpose of
more conveniently aparting lands to each owner, according
to his proportion of stock in said company ; and for the
more convenient management of the concerns of the com.
pany they constituted a board of directrrs,and appointed a
clerk to record their proceedings and keep a book of records
of ownership and transfer of stock ; which consisted mere-
ly of the price paid for said 3,000,000 of acres, and was
1,200,000 dollars; and every person who owned stock in
said company was deemed to be an equitable tenantin com-
mon in the lands purchasedi according to the amount of
stock owned, estimated in dollars, and was called so many
1,200,000 thousandths of said reserve.

H1ST0RT OF CLEVELAND. 11

The Indian title to that portion of said reserve, which
lies East of Cuyahoga River and Portage Path, had been
extinguished by Wayne's treaty in 1794 ; but the Indian
title to that portion of said reserve which lies west of
Cuyahoga and Portage Path, was not extinguished until
the 4th of July, 1805. ' The red men retained the legal and
actual possession of the soil of our immediate neighbor
city of Ohio, until that time, and the actual possession for
some years longer. The British exercised the Sovereign
power, until the giving up of the western ports in 1796 —
the Cuyahoga River was the boundary. The U. States
claimed and exercised sovereign political jurisdiction as a
territory. Connecticut claimed jurisdiction over the same,
as part of her actual and legal terrritory, up to May, 1800 ;
yet as the white population were few, and the Indian had
liberty of shooting the buck as before, there was but little
inconvenience felt by any body from clashing jurisdictions.
In progress of events however, Congress, in 1787, passed
the ordinance for governing the Territory of the United
States north-west of the river Ohio ; and its first Governor
established by proclamation, July 27, 1788, the county of
Washington, (seat of justice Marietta,) which embraced
pretty much all the territory now composing Ohio, east of
the Scioti,and south and east of the British possession ; and
among the rest, that part of the western reserve east of
Cuyahoga and Portage Path. It remained in Washington
county until July, 1797, when Jefferson county was es-
tablished, (seat of justice Steubenville,) which county con-
tinued to exercise jurisdiction until the 10th July, 1800.
After the British relinquished the western posts in 1796,
that portion of the N. W. Territory which -lay north of
Wayne's treaty line, and west of Cuyahoga, was erected
into a county called Wayne, (seat of justice Detroit,) em-
bracing the northern part of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, all
Michigan and Ouisconsin, and how much more is rather
uncertain ; but at all events, it continued its jurisdiction
over that part of the western reserve west of Cuyahoga
and Portage Path, until July 10, 1300, at which time
Trumbull county was established by proclamation of the

12 HISTOBY OF CLEVELAND.

governor, embracing just the whole of the Connecticut
reserve. The town of Warren was selected for the seat
of justice, officers were duly appointed, and about the 20th
of August, of the 3'ear 1800, a County Court and Quarter
Sessione was organized and opened in due form between
two corn-cribs, a few feet north-westerly from the house
lately occupied by F. Freeman, in Warren. To that place
the good citizens of the then city of Cleveland, (for it
was even then called a city,) had to repair to see that jus-
tice was administered according to law, previous to which
time, but few of them were aware that they were subject
to any other law than the law of God and a good con-
science, which, if not in all cases effectual, there were a
less number of complaints then, than now, of grievances
unredressed.

During all this time, however, Connecticut was not un-
mindful of at least her more substantial rights. She sold
the land as before related, appointed a recorder (John S.
Edwards,) to record all titles and conveyances of the lands
in the Reserve, and who actually made several large vol-!
umes of the records now in Trumbull, under the authority
of Connecticut. Acts of Congress and of Connecticut,
were however, passed in the year 1800, for compromising
the matter, and Connecticut released to the United States
all claim of political jurisdiction May 30, 1800 ; and the
President released and conformed to Connecticut, the title
to the soil. All the acts and records of land titles made un-
der authority of Connecticut, were removed to Warren,
and (excepting Fire Land records,) remain there.

Soon after obtaining their title, the members of the
Connecticut Land Company made arrangements for sur-
veying that part of it lying east of Cuyahoga, and for di-
viding it amongst the owners in proportion to their respec-
tive shares of purchase money ; and in 1796, as early as
practicable, sent on a company of 42 surveyors, under the
immediate inspection and direction of Seth Pease, late
assistant pos't-mastcr general, and Augustus Porter, with
Moses Cleveland, as agent of the directors, in the manage-
ment of the prudential affairs of the company. After en-

HISTORY OF CLEVELAND. 13

countering as many difficulties as might reasonably have-
been expected, the major part of the company's party arri.
ved at the Cuyahoga river and landed,built them a log cabin
(since usually and familiarly called shantee,) on the land
in the vicinity of the place where the Commercial Bank
and P. M. Weddell's stores now stand ; and in September,
1796, Seth Pease surveyed the City of Cleveland into 220
lots, and made, a plan of it, which is yet in being. All
the regular lots were eight rods in front and forty rods
rear. The streets crossed each other aj right angles.
Those running parallel with the lake, were Lake, Superior,
Huron and Ohio, on a course N. 50° E., Superior being
eight and the others six rods wide ; and those at right an.
gles with the Lake, being Water, Ontario and Erie, on a
course N. 34° W., each six rods wide. Towards the south-
erly landing, on the river, were Maiden and Vineyard
Lanes ; and towards the northern landing, were Union and
Mandrake Lanes ; Vineyard and Union Lanes both branch,
ing off from the west end of Superior street. Maiden
Lane seems to have been abandoned by common consent,
and another lane continued nearly in the course of Supe-
rior street, extending to Cuyahoga, about the year 1800 or
1801, by the company. A public square was surveyed at the
junction of Superior and Ontario streets 38 rods by 40.

The surveyors having completed a survey of the lands
east of Cuyahoga into townships of about five miles
square, by running meridians, called range lines, parallel
with Pennsylvania line, and parallels of latitude called
township lines : numbering the ranges from the east, west-
ward, and the townships from the south, northward, and
sundry of them into equalizing tracts ; and No. 11, range
7, and towns No. 5, 6 and 7, in range 11, into about 100
lots each, of say 160 acres, varying something in quantity.
After having made the surveys, the directors sent out an
exploring committee to examine the quality of the lands.
That committee reported that Poland No. 1, range 1, was
the most valuable ; and that they had annexed to all other
townships prepared for aparting, such quantity of land to
each in the equalizing tracts, as made each township, in.

2*

14 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND.

eluding the equalizing tract annexed, of equal value with

Poland, At a meeting of the company at Hartford,

— 1798, the directors agreed to apart to the scrip holders,
93 townships, made equal as aforesaid ; and it was found
1,200,000 divided in 93 parts, gave 12,903,23 to draw one
township ; and proceeded to class the owners of the scrip,
as to let each one who held a sum of original purchase
money sufficient, viz : $12,903 23-100, draw a township ;
and those holding less sums, they classed together in com.
panies, until the sum was sufficient to make a draft. The
man who drew a township was entitled to a deed from the
trustees in severalty. When a company drew, that compa-
ny held separately from all others, but in common among
themselves in the town drawn and annexation, in propor-
tion to the sum each man held in the draft. Thus the 93
drafts were made, and 93 townships with their respective
annexations, severed and aparted to the holders of the
scrip. They proceeded in the same manner in the apart -
ing the 400 lots, each lot forming a draft, and $3,000
of stock dreAv one lot. The directors reserved from the
division among the members of the company, six town-
ships, viz : the Salt Spring, town No. 3, range 3, now
called Weathersfield ; No. 11, in range 6, then called Cha-
pin, now Madison; No. 10, range 9, Mentor; No. 9,
range 10, then called Charlton, afterwards Chagrin, and
now Willoughby ; No. 8, range 11, Euclid ; (this township
was. intended for the surveyors, who were to have each
one lake lot of about 80 acres, one gore lot next south of
150 acres, and two square lots of the square part of the
town, of 160 acres each, so that the 42 surveyors were
to range themselves on a street along the lake for about 6
or 7 miles — the project failed,) and Cleveland, No. 7, range
12. These townships, including the city lots in Cleveland,
the directors put to private sale for the account of the
company, and constituted an agent to make sales. Seth
Hart had the agency a short time, but Tushand Kirfland,
of Poland, has been agent since 1799 or 1800.

Subsequent to the drafts and division among the propri-
etors in 1798, a number of the owners of lands prepared

them for market. In 1799 some settlements were com-
menced at Conneaught, Grand River, Mentor, Warren,
Youngstown, (the whole of which township, 2, range 2,
had been previously purchased by John Young,) Poland and
other places, and those at Cleveland progressed slowly.
But the emigration to the reserve could scarcely be said
to have commenced until the spring of the year 1800,
when it commenced in good earnest, and settlements were
rapidly made in various townships on the east of Cuyaho-
ga. The agent of the company also made some sales in
the six townships before described, and commenced selling
lots in Cleveland soon after the drafts and division of land
in 1798. It will be recollected, however, that the country
from the western boundary of the survey of the city platt,
was an uninterrupted Indian country to the western
ocean. On the north was first, J^ake Erie, and then the
wilderness of Canada ; on the north-east, but a very sparse
population this side of the Genesee country ; and upon the
southern direction but few inhabitants on the north. west-
erly side of the Ohio River — and as might have been rea.
sonably anticipated, the city did not increase in popula-
tion very rapidly, yet it increased steadily ; and between
the year 1798 and Dec. 28, 1802, the agent had contract-
ed to sell to individuals, most of the lots on Water street
and Superior street, westerly of the public square. The
names of persons who had deeds from the trustees, on
contracts made with the directors, are in small capitals
in the subjoined table.

In December, 1802, the company came to the resolution
that they would divide among the owners of the stock the
unsold land in the aforesaid six townships, including the
unsold lots in Cleveland, embracing more than two-thirds
of the city. They had previously caused the remaining
parts of said townships to be surveyed into what was usu-
ally called thousand acre tracts — some containing more
and some containing less than that number of acres — and
to the less valuable tracts they added lots in the city of
Cleveland to make the tracts of equal value. Thus arran-,
ged they had 90 parcels for distribution, (90-r 1,200,0000'

=13,333,33,) which gave thirteen thousand three hun.
dred thirty-three dollars and thirty-three cents for a draft.
And be who owned that much stock was entitled, if he
chose, to draw a tract and its annexation in severalty —
and wai then entitled to a deed for it from the Trustees.
Those owning 3maller amounts had necessarily to combine,
and make their draft in common among those who combi-
ned ; and they collectively held the land and lots drawn in
severalty as respected other members of the company. In
this manner the greatest portion of the lots in the City was
divided, as stated in the table below. Some few of the
lots, however, remained on hand unsold, or had fallen back
from contracts, and were not divided until the last division
of property among the Company in the year 1809.

The following tabular statement exhibits the names of
nearly all the persons who first obtained title from the
Trustees of the Connecticut Land Company, Caldwell,
Morgan and Bruce — with the relative proportion of the
ownership, according to original purchase money when
lots were drawn in common.

It will readily be perceived by every person in the least
acquainted with land operations — particularly as connect-
ed with the improvement of a town — that the manner of
dividing the lots among the members of the company, most
of whom resided at 600 to 800 miles distant, and but few
of them residing in the vicinity of each other, being scat-
tered throughout all parts of the New-England States, and
in many other parts of the United States, must have been
a ruinous measure to the prosperity of almost any town ;
certainly no town could have overcome the evils attending
such a measure which did not possess strong and decisive
natural advantages to aid it. It will moreover be perceiv-
ed, that those who purchased as individuals from the agents
of the Directors, were not all residents of the city. For
many years there were no facilities for the sale of the lots.
When a purchaser appeared and found a lot to suit his fan-
cy, it was doubtful if he could ascertain who owned it.
When he had ascertained who was owner, the chance was

lg HISTORY OF CLEVELAND.

the owner was 600 or 1,000 miles distant. Perhaps he
had pitched upon a lot owned by half a dozen or more —
not improbable some of them dead and their share descen-
ded to minors. Under all these accumulated circumstan-
ces Cleveland was still known and held her way moderately
onward.

As hinted above, a treaty was held at Cleveland July 4,

1805, by which the Indian title west of Cuyahoga was ex-
tinguished. The land was surveyed into townships in

1806, and on 2d April, 1807, divided among the members
of the Company by 46 drafts or parcels, $26,097 original
purchase money constituting a draft. Settlements com-
menced shortly afterwards west of the river. None of the
lots in the city, however, were distributed or affected by
the latter division among the Company., There however,
remained a few lots in the city, some fragments of land in
Mentor and other parts of the six townships, a fraction of
land on the west of the 19th range called surplus, with sun-
dry bonds and notes which had been taken by the Direct.
ors for land sold — and on the 5th day of January, 1809,
the Directors made a final distribution among the Compa-
ny of what remained of their property on hand. The
same persons drew in the same proportions as in 1807.
At this time lots 48, 79, 64 to 72,37 to 47 and 461, 162,
and 216, were drawn for — and finally completed the distri-
bution of the lots in Cleveland.

Trumbull county was divided by act of the legislature
of Ohio, 31st December, 1805, and Geauga erected — and
was organized March 1, 1806* There justice was admin-
istered to the good citizens of Cleveland City until May
l,1810,when Cuyahoga county was organized, which, how-
ever, had been'erected Feb. 10, 1808. The seat of justice
was established at Cleveland, which had continued to pro-
gress and to develope its natural capacities as a place of
business. Nothing happened out of the usual course of
things except the hanging of an Indian, until the com-
mencement of the war in 1812. During the years of the
war there was much bluster, coming, going and prading,
ups and downs, anxiety and carelessness in Cleveland. —

IIISTORY OF CLEVELAND. 19

But when war was over, the city was found not much the
bettor or worse. Many, however, became acquainted with
its pleasant location and its advantageous situation, which
otherwise probably would have remained ignorant of them.

It has been omitted in the proper place to notice, that
Amos Spafford, under the direction of Judge Kirtland, the
agent of the company, retook the minutes of the suryeya
of the lots, set large posts at the intersections of streets,
made some alterations of Union and Vineyard Lanes, laid
out Superior Lane and abandoned Maiden Lane. A state-
ment of this survey was made in an informal manner, and
placed on record in Trumbull county, February — , 1802;
a law of the territory having been passed requiring town
platts to be recorded.

By an act of the legislature, passed Dec. 23, 1814, that
part of the original city platt, bounded by Erie street on
the east and Huron street on the south, was incorporated
by the name of the village of Cleveland, and the corporate
powers vested in a President and Trustees. These were
administered not materially different from the manner such
powers usually are. They had authority to lay newr streets,
and occasionally exercised it. In 1816 they established
Euclid street, St. Clair street and lane, Bank street, Wood
street and Bond street, and a street round the public square.
In 1825 the Ohio Canal was established, terminating at
Cleveland, which gave an impetus to the growth and pros-
perity of the place, and may be considered an era in its
history. Its corporate powers were enlarged, and, as the
several acts say, from time to time, amended. Sundry
things were done — sundry hills and streets were graded, to
the great satisfaction of some and dissatisfaction of others.
Some 6 to 8 thousands of inhabitants had come together
from the four winds — some wished to do more things, and
some wished to do things better ; and to effect all these ob-
jects, and a variety of others, no means- seemed so proper
as a City Charter in due form and style, which-was peti-
tioned for and obtained March — , 1836, with extended
boundaries.

On April 11th, 1836, the City of Cleveland was regu-

the Hon. John W. Willey, elected Mayor, with a Gxty
Council.

the city council shall appoint a committee of three disin-
terested judicious freeholders of said city, to estimate the

expense on the land and ground as aforesaid ; and it shall
be the duty of the city council to provide, by ordinance,
for the correction and equalization of such assessment ;
and the city council shall give notice in one or more of
the newspapers published in said city, for six consecutive
weeks, of the improvement to be made, in order that any
one, damaged by reason of such improvement, may file
his claim, in writing, in the office of the city clerk, within
ten days after the expiration of the said six weeks' notice ;

CHURCHES.

There are eight congregations of Christians in the city
of Cleveland, viz : one Episcopal, two Presbyterians, one
Baptist, one Catholic, one Episcopal. Methodist, one Re-
formed Methodist, and one German Protestant.

The Fibst Presbyterian Church stands on the north
side of the public square, at the intersection of Ontario
street. It is a substantial edifice, built of gray sand stone,
rough hammered. The size of the building is fifty-five by
eighty feet, finished in the Tuscan order of architecture,
with a bell section and dome. The front is divided with
antaes or pilasters composed of cut stone, with a flight of
spacious stone steps to its main entrance. The entabla-
ture is plain, yet tasteful and commanding. The inte-
terior is finished, on the first floor with pews, eighty-four
in number ; a full gallery, which is suspended from the
ceiling by iron rods ; the ceiling eliptical, the whole finish
is plain, but very imposing, and reflects much credit on the
society as well as the architect.

This Church was organized Sept. 19,1820, by the Rev's.
Messrs. William Hanford and Randolph Stone, consisting
of fifteen members. At the formation, " it was voted, that
this church be under the watch and care of the Portage
Presbytery." The mode of internal government was left
for future consideration and determination..

The Rev. R. Stone was the first minister employed by
the church and congregation. He preached one third of
the time for a year, ending April, 1821. On the first
Sabbath of January, 1822, the Rev. William M'Lean
commenced his pastoral labors, having been employed for
three fourths of the time, during one year. He closed
his labors in January, 1823. In Sept. following, the
Rev. Stephen I. Bradstreet, (recently deceased,) was en-
gaged to become the minister of the church and congre-
gation, one half of the time, for a year. Mr. B. contiu-

42 CHURCHES,

ued his ministerial duties until January 24th, 1830, a pe-
riod of between six and seven years.

The Rev. John Sisson was employed in June following.
His labors, however, were brief, and the church was with-
out a stated minister, until July 10th, 1831, when the Rev.
Samuel Hutchings commenced his labors in this church
and congregation. Mr. H. closed his labors preparatory
to going as a Missionary to the Island of Ceylon, in the
autumn of 1832. The Stono Church, a commodious house
of worship, was commenced this year. The church and
congregation were endeavoring through the summer of
1833, to obtain a pastor ; and having invited the Rev.
John Keep of Homer, N. Y., he commenced his pastoral
services, Sabbath, Dec. 1st, 1833. The house was com-
pleted and dedicated Feb. 26, 1834. In Dec. of the same
year, a number of the members of the church were dis-
missed, at their own request, to unite in the formation of
a church in Brooklyn, (now Ohio city.)

Mr. Keep closed his ministerial labors on the 26th April,
1835 — a period of one year and five months. In the win-
ter of 1835, the church and congregation gave a unan-
imous call to the Rev. Samuel C. Aikin, of the first Pres-
byterian church in Utica, N. Y. It was accepted, and
Mr. Aikin removed to this city, and commenced his labors
on the 7th June, (Sabbath,) 1835, and was installed pastor
of the church and congregation on the 24th Nov. following.
Mr. Aikin is a native of Vermont, and a graduate of
Middlebury College. He pursued his theological course
at Andover, and was the pastor of the first Presbyterian
church in Utica, 17 years, from whence he was called to
this place.

The Bethel Church in Cleveland, was formed in the fall
of 1835, mostly of members from this church; and on the
26th February, 1837, a second church was organized
from this church and congregation. The present number
of communicants, is about 240, and the congregation is
large, and apparently limited only by the capacity of the
house, which it is believed, is sufficiently spacious for one
congregation.

CHURCHES. 43

TnE Second Presbyterian Congregation will hold
Divine service in a large room over the City Council
Room, until the completion of their new Church, which 19
now being erected.

The First Episcopal Church stands on the corner of
Seneca and St. Clair streets. It is a handsome frame
building, constructed in the Gothic order, measures seventy
by forty feet, and is finished with a bell section and four
Gothic points or spires.

This Church was composed of inhabitants of Cleveland
and Brooklyn, and was organized in 1816, and the Rev.
Roger Searle was elected Rector. The services were not
held regularly for several of the first years.

In 1828 the society was incorporated by the name of
Trinity Church — and during that year the present church
edifice was commenced, and was completed in August,
1829.

The Baptist Church is situated on Seneca and Cham-
plain streets ; its location being admirable and command,
ing — presenting a fine appearance from the Lake and the
surrounding country. It is built of brick, size eighty by
fifty-five feet, with a spacious basement through which ia
the main entrance. It contains the town clock and a
heavy bell — the whole crowned with a lofty spire one hun.
dred and fifty feet high. Its order of architecture is Tus-
can. The internal finish is plain but truly magnificent —
finished in the Grecian Dorick order, with a full gallery
suspended from the ceiling with iron rods. . The first floor
is divided by three broad aisles, and subdivided into one
hundred and twelve slips.

.This Church was constituted on the third Saturday ia
February, 1833, with eighteen members. The number of.
communicants at present is two hundred, eighty of whom
were added within the last year. The Rev. Levi Tucker
is the present minister.

The Bethel Church, situated at the corner of Dia-
mond street, is a neat frame building measuring forty by

44 churches.

thirty feet, it was built by a subscription raised princi-
pally among the liberal inhabitants of this city and its vi-
cinity. The first chaplain employed in this church was
the Rev. D, C. Blood. The present minister is the Rev.
V. D. Taylor, and the average number of persons attending
public worship may be stated at one hundred.

Catholics. — The Catholics, although forming a con-
gregation of about one thousand souls, nave as yet no
church in this city, The late Rev. Mr. Dillon fitted up a
small chapel in Shakspeare Hall, on Superior Lane, about
two years ago. In this chapel the congregation consisting
of Irish, English, Scotch, Americans, Germans, and French
worshipped God until the death of Mr. Dillon, which took
place sometime in September last. Since then there has
been no Catholic priest in Cleveland.

The Rev. Mr. Dillon was a young man of profound eru-
dition, possessing in an eminent degree all the qualifica-
tions necessary for the Christian minister, and as such was
beloved by his flock, and universally esteemed by his fellow
citizens of every religious denomination. -Through his
benevolent exertions the sum of one thousand dollars was
raised towards erecting a church, which sum is now in the
hands of the Treasurer for that purpose.

Since writing the above, we learn that the Rt. Rev. Dr.
Purcell, Bishop of Cincinnati, is expected in this place in a
few days to make arrangements for the erection of a splen-
did church for his flock in Cleveland and Ohio City.

German. — The German Protestants of Cleveland, have
Divine service every Sunday in the building occupied as a
Female Seminary, on St. Clair street. The number of
communicants may be estimated at about four hundred,
natives of the Yaterland. The Rev. William Steinmeier
is their present pastor.

Methodist. — Both congregations of Methodists are now
erecting large and substantial brick churches, which they
expect to finish this summer. At present, these denomina-
tions hold Divine service in the Court House.

COUBT-HOUSE — JAIL CITY HOSPITAL — MARKETS. 45

The Court House stands on an eminence in the public
square. It is a brick building, two stories high ; the front
is ornamented with stone antaes or pilasters of the Dorick
order, supporting a Dorick entablature ; the whole is crown-
ed with an Ionic belfry and dome. On the ground floor
are the departments for county officers. The court room
is on the second floor. This building was erected in 1810,
at an expense of eight thousand dollars.

The Cuyahoga County Prison is a stone building of
two stories, situated on Champlain street, convenient to the
rear of the court house. The criminal cells, three in num-
ber, are on the ground floor, and in the second story are
apartments for debtors. One end of the building is neatly
fitted up for the residence and office of the deputy sheriff,
Mr. H. N. Wilbur, who is also keeper of the Jail, and who
decidedly deserves much credit for the cleanliness and
good discipline observed within its walls.

The' City Hospital is situated upon Clinton street, in
the easterly part of the city and upon the most elevated
ground in it. The grounds connected with the hospital
are about four acres, and consist of part of the land pur-
chased at the public expense and occupied as a public ce-
metry. The hospital buildings at present consist of one
structure about seventy by thirty feet and two stories high,
fronting easterly. Its internal organization is well suited
for the accommodation of its inmates, and its apartments
kept in a manner creditable to the city.

The hospital is under the control of the Board of Health
— consisting of the Mayor and three members of the city
council, chosen from that body annually. The officers of
the hospital appointed by the Board of Health, are, a Su-
perintendant, a Hospital Physician, and a Hospital Warden,
each of whom have a fixed salary. The expenses of the
institution are paid from the current revenue of the city,
and for the present year are estimated at from four to five
thousand dollars.

Markets. — There are four public markets in this city,
kept in good order and supplied with every article that can
be desired at similar places. 5

46 CLEVELAND THEATRE CLINTON PARK, &.C.

The Theatre was opened this season with additional
new scenery, decorations, &c, together with a new and
splendid drop curtain, not surpassed by any other in the
union. The establishment has, for the last four years,
been under the management of the Lessees, Messrs. Dean
& M'Kinney, who always engage actors celebrated for
their talents and respectability, and produce such novel-
ties as merit the attention of a discerning public. The
present building being found too small for this city, a new
one is now being built on the same street, nearly opposite
the Washington House, which, when finished, will rank
with the principal public buildings in western America.
This extensive building is three hundred feet long, and
seventy feet broad, and will cost about twenty-five thou-
sand dollars.

Clinton Park and its environs, situated half a mile
from the court-house, on the bank of Lake Erie — which
although a wilderness of unsightly stumps and girdled
trees two years ago, is already encircled with some subur-
ban villas embosomed in gardens of the most picturesque
beauty. The Park itself is about thirty rods in length and
occupies the space between Wilaon street and Lake street.
It is intended to be laid out in the landscape style of gar-
dening, comprising lawns, shrubbery, ornamental trees and
flowers, which with the Mineral Spring adjacent, will be
open to the public.

The Spring Cottage and Bathing Establishment
is situated at the Park, and contains commodious warm,
cold and shower Baths and refreshment rooms, to which
there is a handsome pleasure garden attached. The whole
has been fitted up with much skill and taste by Mr. Wil-
liam R. Richardson," and is decidedly a summer retreat from
}he bustle and cares of business, of no ordinaiy character,
combining utility and gratification with pleasure. Mr.
Richardson has just commenced running an omnibus be-
tween the business part of the city and the baths. This
vehicle, we understand is to leave Cleveland every hour for
the accommodation of persons visiting the baths.

GARDENS HEADING ROOMS. 47

The neighborhood of Cleveland abounds with walks and
rides affording extensive and beautiful prospects. And
the facilities for aquatic excursions are afforded in every
variety.

The Willey Gardens in the vicinity contain about
twenty-five acres of land, laid out with considerable skill,
for the purpose of growing every description of vegetables
necessary for the Cleveland market. These gardens have
been leased from the Rev. E. F. Willey, by the present oc-
cupants, Messrs. Thompson & Ward.

N. Perry, Esq. has just laid out a fine street from St.
Clair st. to Euclid road, and contemplates devoting ten
acres opposite W. Rogers' delightful villa as city gardens,
for the culture and sale of ornamental shrubs, flowers and
greenhouse plants. Indeed the improvements commenced
in this vicinity are of such a character as must prove
strong inducements for the location of those who prefer a
healthy and respectable neighbourhood to the close pent
lots of business precincts.

The Cleveland Reading Room Association was
formed by the voluntary subscriptions of a number of gen-
tlemen, in the fall of 1835. The object of the Association,
as expressed in their articles, is, to furnish Reviews, Pam-
phlets and Newspapers from different parts of .the coun-
try, on all topics of general interest to the community.—
The institution went immediately into operation, with
about two hundred subscribers, and furnished during the
first year of its existence to the reading community, the
principal daily papers from the Eastern, Western and
Southern cities ; at least two papers of different politics,
from every state and territory in the Union — together with
a large number of periodicals, quarterly, monthly, and
weekly, both of our own country and Great Britain. The
institution is now in the second year of its existence, and
the object of its directors has been to carry on the same
general plan. The Reading Room is open daily, and is
lighted and open in the evening until ten o'clock. There

for thirty days by members of the Association.

Young Men's Literary Association, . organized No-
vember, 1836, and consists at present of a library which

Cleveland Lyceum, Phoenix Buildings — Incorporated
by act of the General . Assembly of the State of Ohio, the
12th day of February, 1833. Whole number of members
now belonging to the Society, are 110.

Cleveland City Temperance Society was formed
(on thetetotal plan,) on the 15th March, 1836. A num-
ber of Societies were in existence previous to, and at the
time this was started, but this may now be said to be the
only one that shows any considerable signs of life.

The constitution provides for the annual meeting of the
Society, on the first Tuesday in June — for the quarterly
meeting, and for the monthly meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors.

The Board of Directors consists of all the regular offi-
cers of the Society, and of eight Managers.

The Cleveland Maternal Association was formed
in January, 1835. It is composed of benevolent ladies
who are the parents or guardians of children, and have
united together for the purpose of providing for the reli-
gious education of the children under their care.

The number connected with the association at present,
is 26 mothers and 90 children.

Cleveland Harmonic Society — organized in 1835.
Consists at present of seven amateur instrumental per-
formers.

Cleveland Mozart Society — organized April, 1837.
Its object is the promotion of Musical Science and the

cultivation of a refined taste in its members, and in the
community.

The German Society of Cleveland was Organized
on the 22d of February, 1836. Its objects are benevolence
and the diffusion of useful knowledge among its members.
The officers of the society consist of .a President, Secreta-
ry, Treasurer, and a committee of six, and its members
number about fifty.

The Cleveland Free School is kept in the basement
story of the Bethel church ; it was established in March,
1830, for the education of male and female children of
every religious denomination, and is supported by the city.
The average number of pupils in attendance may be stated
at ninety males and forty-six females.

Newsfapbrs. — Four papers are published in this city.
The oldest is the Daily Herald and Gazette, (originally
styled the " Herald,") issued by Messrs. F. Whittlesey &
J. A. Harris, editors and proprietors — James Hull, printer.
Tho weekly Herald and Gazette is published at the same
office, and are republications of the Daily. They are
Whig in politics.

The Cleveland Daily Advertiser is next in succession ;
Messrs. Canfield and Spencer editors and proprietors.—
A weekly made up from tho Daily, is published by the
same gentlemen. Democratic in politics.

These papers are managed with admirable editorial
tact, and have large subscription lists.

The third, devoted to the promulgation of the Presby-
terian creed, and is called the Cleveland Journal. It is
published by Messrs. John M. Sterling, Samuel C. Aikin
and A. Penfield, and edited by the Rev. 0. P. Hoyt —
F. B. Penniman, printer.

The fourth is the Cleveland Liberalist, published weekly
by Messrs. Underbill & Son, and edited by Dr. Samuel
Underhill.

ing in an eminent degree, the confidence of the people

in regard to soundness and stability, and are no doubt
■worthy of the high character they sustain, being conduct-
ed by men of prudence and financial ability.

The Commercial Bank of Lake Erie is the oldest insti.
tution of the kind in the place. Capital $500,000 00.

The Bank of Cleveland has a capital of $300,000 00.

Manufactories. ; — There are four very extensive Iron
Foundries and Steam Engine manufactories in this city ;
also, three soap and candle manufactories, two breweries,
one sash factory, two rope walks, one stone ware pottery,
two carriage manufactories, and two French Burr millstone
manufactories, all of which are in full operation.

The Flouring Mill now being erected by Mr. Ford, will,
when finished, be the largest and most complete establish,
ment of the kind in the state of Ohio.

Cleveland Centre Draw Bridge. — This bridge,
which may be classed among the moat superior structures
of the kind in the state of 'Ohio, crosses the Cuyahoga ri-
ver at the most southern extremity of Cleveland Centre,
connecting Columbus street with Ohio City. It was erect-
ed in 1834 — 35, by our liberal and enterprising fellow-
citizen, James S. Clark, Esq. and others, at an expense of
fifteen thousand dollars. It is supported by a stone hut-
ment on either shore, and pier3 of solid masonry erected
in the centre of the river. * Between the pier3 there is a draw
'sufficient to admit vessels of forty-nine feet beam to pass
through. The length of the bridge is two hundred feet ;
breadth, including sidewalks, thirty-three feet, and the
height of the piers above the surface of the water may be
estimated at twenty-four feet. The whole, which with the
exception of the draw, is roofed'and enclosed, presents an
imposing appearance and reflects much credit on the archi-
tect, Mr. Nathan Hunt.

This splendid bridge was presented to the corporation of
Cleveland by the owners, on the express stipulation that it
should for ever remain free for the accommodation of the
public, although the Legislature had previously chartered it
*s a Toll Bridge.

RAIL-ROADS. 51

RAILROADS.

Cleveland, Warren and Pittsburgh Railroad,
—The act incorporating a company to construct this
Road was passed by the General Assembly of this state.
It authorises the construction of a rail road from Cleve-
land, in the direction of Pittsburgh, to the State line of
Pennsylvania. The measure originated and is now pros-
ecuted with the view of uniting Pittsburgh, in the State
of Pennsylvania, situated on the head waters of the Ohio
river, with Cleveland, in the state of Ohio, situated upon
Lake Erie. At the point of its intersection with the state
line, the charter provides for the union of the Road with
any other Road which the state of Pennsylvania may au-
thorise from Pittsburgh, or any other point below the Ohio
river, running in the direction of Cleveland, in order that a
continuous route may be perfected from Cleveland to
Pittsburgh, under the authority of both states.

The charter does not in terms limit the amount of cap-
ital stock which may be raised under it ; but authorises
the President and Directors of the company, from time to
time, and at any time they may think proper^ to create
and sell stock sufficient in their judgment for accomplish-
ing the purposes contemplated. The stock is divided into
shares of onev hundred dollars each, and in case of the
creation of a larger amount than the expenditures of the
company may require, it docs not result in the accumula-
tion of a surplus fund, but in the diminishing the amount
to be paid on each share respectively.

Plenary powers are, by the charter, conferred upon the
company, in the selection of the most eligible and expedi-
ent route for the location of the Road, and for entering
upon and taking possession of the lands and materials for
its construction and maintenance. And like full and dis-
cretionary power is granted to the company in the use and
occupancy of the road, in the transportation of persons or
property, either by the force and powers of steam, or of
animals, or any mechanical or other power, or any combi-
nation of them which the company may think proper to
employ.

52 RAIL-ROADS.

By the report of the Engineer in the service of the
company, it appears, that the whole expense of construct-
ing the Road from Cleveland to the Pennsylvania state
line, about eighty miles, is less than $7,000 per mile. In
no instance is the ascent or descent more than forty feet
to the mile. In no event can stationary power be required
at a^iy point. There are no natural obstructions to be
encountered. Timber, stone, and every necessary mate-
rial for the construction of the Road are abundant in the
immediate vicinity of its location. It passes over a section
of country not only populous, but in a high state of agri-
cultural prosperity, and the interests of whose inhabitants
are intimately blended with its completion.

This road proposes to form a continuation of that branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, which terminates
in Pittsburgh, by extending that road to Lake Erie at
Cleveland; making thereby a continued line of Rail Read
from Baltimore to the great lakes. It proposes the same
benefits to the city of Philadelphia by being a continuation
of the Pennsylvania canals and rail roads which lead from
Philadelphia to Pittsburgh by prolonging them in effect to
Lake Erie. It proposes when completed, to give to Phila-
delphia and Baltimore the same advantages of the western
trade which New-York now possesses, with the additional
advantage of having the distance diminished three hundred
miles. It. proposes to give the whole vast region of the
western lakes an opportunity of marketing their products
in, and receiving their foreign merchandise from, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore at least five weeks earlier in the
season and at much less expense, than is now accomplish-
ed at New- York.

The management of the Company is in the hands of a
board of seven Directors, elected by the Stockholders.

The route from Baltimore and Philadelphia ■ through
Pittsburgh to Cleveland,.is decidedly superior to any other
line that ever has been, or can be, traced through the
country lying between the tide waters and the Lake coast.
New- York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, lie upon aline
nearly parallel with the southern shore of Lake Erie, and

RAIL-ROADS. 53

consequently at equal distances from it. But owing to the
nature of the country, none of those cities communicate
with the lake upon the shortest line. New- York has en-
deavored' to overcome this circuity by constructing a rail
road from the Hudson river to Dunkirk ; Philadelphia, by
the Sunbury and Erie rail road; and Baltimore, with an
eye to Cleveland as an ultimate termination, has extended
the Baltimore and Ohio road to Pittsburgh. New- York
has her canal from Albany to Buffalo. Philadelphia, a
canal and rail road to Pittsburgh, and the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal is making its way to the Ohio from the Chesa-
peake. The Pennsylvania and Ohio canal extends the
water communication by way of Beaver, Warren and Ak-
ron, where it intersects the Ohio canal, to Cleveland, on
the chain of inland seas. The object of all these improve,
ments is the western trade. The struggle has cost mill-
ions of dollars and the purse-strings are but just untied. A
double method of communication is demanded on each of
the three great routes. • A railway for. speedy travel, and
a consecutive canal for cheap transportation, and each
method has the funds of the intelligent merchant at com-
mand, when the trader himself has means within his con-
trol. What are the sources of ihe western trade ? It comes
from the rich region in which Lake Michigan is embosomed
from the western shore of Lake Huron, from the fertile
valley of the Wabash and the Maumee, discharging itself
through the Wabash and Erie canal, and the Western ca-
nal at Maumee Bay, and from the states of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Kentucky, flowing through the hundred chan-
nels that nature and enterprise have.laid open. The pro-
duce of the country drained by the Lakes, must float
through the western part of Lake Erie, as it seeks the
seaboard. Cleveland is the first port where it is tempted
to leave the Lake. Transferred to a canal boat, it goes on
the Ohio canal to Akron, 38 miles — takes the Pennsylva-
nia and Ohio canal by Warren and New-Castle to. Beaver
on the Ohio, one hundred and five miles — is towed to Pitts-
burgh, thirty miles — ascends the canal to Jonstown, one
hundred and five miles — is transhipped and carried on the

From Cleveland to Pittsburgh by the Ohio canal, Penn-

and seventy-three miles ; from thence to Philadelphia, by
canal and railway, is three hundred and ninety-six miles,
and from Cleveland, five hundred and sixty-nine. From

canal, is one hundred and forty miles ; from Cumberland

materially different from the canal route above given.

By rail road from Buffalo to Albany the distance is about
the same. By rail road from Dunkirk to the North River

hundred miles, making it six hundred miles from Cleveland
to New-York on the shortest northern route contemplated ;
and being mostly by land, will never answer for heavy
merchandize. The Sunbury and Erie route from Lake
Erie to Philadelphia, stands upon the same footing. There
are then three routes by water in direct competition. The
northern by Albany and, Buffalo, (or Oswego,) the middle
route from Philadelphia,' (except the portage) by Pitts-
burgh to New-Castle and from thence to the Lake either
at Cleveland or Erie, the southern from Washington to
Pittsburgh, intersected from Baltimore by the rail road at
the Point of Rocks. In point of distance, the two latter
routes have an admitted advantage, which saves time and
expense. But further, the Steamboat Erie arrived *at this
place from Detroit on the 20th of March, and the first
boat from Buffalo on the 20th of May. Assuming that the
Pennsylvania and Ohio canals may be in operation on the
first week in April, our wharves might have presented the
same bustle on the 15th of April that they do now. The
emigrant, by taking the southern route from New-York via
Philadelphia, might have been located in his log cabin on
the first of May, as easily as he will be now on the first of
June, had the Pennsylvania and Ohio canal been comple-
ted. As it is, he has been detained four weeks in Buffalo,
and consequently lost the spring crop upon his new farm in
the West. The eastern merchandize now in our ware-
houses, or on the Lake, might have been on the shelf four
weeks ago. Goods taking the water here for the West,
avoid four-fifths of the dangers of the Lake. Downward
bound vessels ean enter this harbor under all winds, when
the ship is manageable. The western merchant who visits
New-York or Philadelphia, before the opening of lake nav-
igation, passes through Cleveland. To New- York on the
northern route, is seven hundred and six miles. By Pitts-
burgh and Philadelphia to New-York by the land route, it
is five hundred and thirty-eight miles, viz : to Pittsburgh

the Lake to salt water at Philadelphia, at New-York, and
soon at Baltimore, by means of the improvements on the
Susquehanna,excepting the rail road portage. Which route

The Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Railroad
Company was chartered in 1836, connecting Cleveland
and Cincinnati by the way of Columbus, the seat of go-
vernment for the state. The construction of this road is
regarded generally as a work of great importance, as it
Would connect the two great commercial emporiums of the
state, Cleveland and Cincinnati, and traverse two hundred
and sixty miles of the rich and populous portions of its soil.
It comprises the most direct route between Quebec, Mon-
treal, the Canadas, Buffalo, and the Ohio and Mississippi
valley, which is becdming a great thoroughfare. It is safe
to conclude that this road will soon be made.

The Cleveland and Newburg Railroad Company,
capital $50,000 was incorporated by the Legislature in
1835, is now being put under cortract, the greater part of
the route being surveyed ; and it is expected that four
miles of the road will be ready for cars the ensuing autumn.

This Railroad passes through a section of country a-
bounding with inexhaustible quarries of building and grind-
stone, and every description of timber necessary for ship
and house building. It must therefore be of incalculable
advantage' to the city of Cleveland.

HARBOR — NAVIGATION AND COMMERCE. 57

The Cleveland & Bedford Railroad Company was
incorporated in 1835, to connect Bedford, a thriving vil-
lage twelve miles south of Cleveland, on the Pittsburgh
road, with the Lake and Ohio canal at Cleveland.

Harbor. — The harbor of Cleveland is formed by two
piers extending about four hundred and twenty-five yards
into Lake Erie, and being eleven feet in width. These
piers are, at present, composed of piles and cribbing filled
in with stone ; but arrangements are making to remove the
wood work above the water, and substitute substantial
stone blocks laid in mason work.

The passage into the harbor, between the piers, meas-
ures two hundred feet and the depth of water is about four-
teen feet— while the Cuyahoga river itself is navigable for
steamboats and vessels as far up as the rapids, which, to
follow the course of the river, is not less than six miles from
its mouth.

In 1825 the general government granted the sum of five
thousand dollars as the first appropriation for the erection
of a harbor at this place, sinpe which time various appro-
priations have been made by congress for the same purpose,
amounting in all to seventy-seven thousand five hundred
and fifty dollars and fifty-six cents. The disbursements
were made by A. W. Walworth, Esq., as agent for the
engineer department.

NAVIGATION AND COMMERCE.

The trade of Cleveland has, within the last few years
considerably increased, owing to her peculiar and advanta-
geous location at the termination of the Ohio canal, and
at a point of Lake Erie the most commanding forcommer-
cial operations.

It appears from an official statement made by the Col-
lector, that during the year 1836, property to the amount of
one hundred and seventeen millions two hundred and seven-
ty-seven thousand five hundred and eighty pounds, arrived
by the way of the canal at this port, and was shipped hence
for distant markets. The value of this propertv, it will be

of the imports exceed by more than a hundred per cent
that of the exports. The following is a detailed statement
of the amount, kind, and value of the property which ar-
rived at and cleared this port during that season.

The Lake has generally been open here for days before
voyages were made, though actual navigation commences
earlier now than formerly, owing to the increase of busi-
ness.

Population. — According to the census taken in the
year of 1825, Cleveland contained only five hundred souls ;
in 1831, the population was not more than one thousand
one hundred ; in 1832, it amounted to one thousand five
hundred ; In 1833, to one thousand nine hundred ; in Jan-
uary, 1834, it was found to have increased to three thou-
sand three hundred and twenty-three ; in November, 1834,
it was four thousand two hundred and fifty; and in Au-
gust, 1835, it was five thousand and eighty.

The number of inhabitants in the city of Cleveland at
present exceeds nine thousand, and judging from the rapid
increase of that number, and the flattering prospects of
this infant city, we anticipate its being doubled in less than
three years*"

DIRECTORY

OF THE

CITY OF OHIO,

For 1837-38.

ao*

OHIO CITY

Ohio City is pleasantly situated on the west side of the
Cuyahoga river, on a site of commanding eminence, and
directly opposite the city of Cleveland. The original
name of the place w.is Brooklyn, but on the 3d of March,
1836, the Legislature passed an act iocorporating it as a
city, under its present name. It consists of several good
streets, the houses of which are well built.

There are four places of public worship in Ohio City,
viz : an Episcopal, a Presbyterian, a Baptist, and a Meth-
odist.

The Episcopal Church, which is not yet finished,
is built of hammered stone, and has a lofty steeple. Its
style of architecture is Gothic, resembling that of the an-
cient and venerable Cathedral. This building, when fin-
ished, will be one of the best of the kind in the western
country, and may be considered as an ornament to the
young city.

The present Presbyterian Church, which is a plain frame
building, is found too small for the accommodations of the
congregation ; but arrangements are making for the* erec-
tion of a new and more spacious edifice.

The Ohio City Exchange stands on an elevated site at
the corners of Main and Centre streets. It is a magnifi-
cent brick building of five stories, crowned with a noble
dome — and having splendid balconies in front, supported by
pillars of the Ionic order.

Ohio City supports two district, and one free school,
which are conducted in a manner that reflects credit on
the managers.

124 OHIO CITY.

Among the principal manufactories of the place may be
mentioned the Cuyahoga Steam Furnace, the Salaeratus
manufactory, the Steam-Boiler factory, and the Glue man-
ufactory.

The Cuyahoga Steam Fuenace, situate on River
st. corner of Washington st. was incorporated in 1834,
for the manufacture of cast and wrought iron work, adapt -
ed to the wants of the country. Capital $100,000 — three
fourths of which is paid in. Josiah Barber, Richard Lord,
John W. Allen, and Charles Hoyt, are the principal stock-
holders. The old establishment was burned to the ground
in the spring of 1834, soon after the incorporation ; since
which time the present substantial brick structure, of 235
feet front, with a wing of 90 feet deep, has been erected
for the different branches of the business ; and is calcula-
ted to give employment to upwards of 100 workmen. The
amount of castings turned off during the past year exceeded
500 tons, besides a great quantity of wrought iron work,
&c. giving employment to seventy men.

Owing to the rapid developement of the agricultural re-
sources of this and the western states, requiring increased
facilities for the erection of saw and flouring mills, the at-
tention of the company has been chiefly given to improved
geering and wrought iron work for them ; and have fur-
nished the greater proportion of the better class of mills in
this region wilh theirirons.

The establishment is under the control of Mr. Charles
Hoyt, who has acquired a reputation for it8 manufacture
that will compete with any other of the kind in the country.
The pig metal used here is chiefly obtained from a blast
furnace at Dover (12 miles west,) belonging to the same
concern, and is equal in quality to the best Scotch pig.

There are several extensive forwarding and commission
houses in Ohio city ; and the stores, which are numerous,
are well stocked with every article in their line.

There is also a printing establishment in this place,
from which are issued a weekly journal, entitled the " Ohio
City Argus," and a monthly periodical entitled the " Moth-
ers and Young Ladies' Guide."

OHIO CITY. 125

The number of houses within the limits of the city may
be estimated at 370, and the population we believe amounts
to upwards of 2400.

The municipal government is vested in a Mayor, twelve
Councilmen, a Recorder, Marshal and City Treasurer.
