Detroit derives its name from the French word d'etroit, the strait whence we have the cognomen of the " City of the Straits," It was first visited in 1610 and settled by whites in 1701, when Fort Ponch- artrain, so called, was erected near the river and below Shelby street. In 1749, additional emigrants from France arrived and it is probable the bounds of the long and narrow French farms were stake i out about this time. In 1763, the country was ceded to England, and in 1778, Fort LeNoult, afterwards called Fort Shelby, was erected. It was located between Fort street and the river and below Shelby street. In 1796, the plan of the city was as is shown in cut on page 17. The cut as nearly as is known, embraces what would DOW be bounded by Montcalm, Randolph and Wayne streets and the river. On June 11th, 1805, the city was totally destroyed by fire, and in 1807, by order of Congress, Gov. ^ull and Judges A. B. Woodward and James Witherell laid out a new town and also 10,000 acres adjoining the city. The city as laid out by them, is now embraced within the bounds of Cass and Randolph streets, Adams avenue and the river. The present limits of the city were established February 12th, 1857. 43f-0- {3+— o- PIP & SPITZLEY BROS., iarpenters, | AND MANUTACTURERS OF SASH, BLINDS & DOOES. Cor. Antoine and Beacon Streets, NEAR GRATIOT STREET, Detroit, Mich. THE OLD PONTIAC TREE. This old whitewood tree, located on Jeflferson ave. between the Orphans Asylum and Marine Hospital, is one of the most interesting relics of the past his- tory of Detroit to be found in or about the city. The events which make this tree a historical land- mark, were given some years ago in Harper's Maga- ziLe, and are as follows: Pontiac, a great Ottawa warrior and statesman, formed a league of several of the Indian tribes in the Northwest, at the close of the French and Indian war for the purpose of ex- terminating the English west of Oswego and Fort Duguesne. He said to the Canadians at a council in his camp : " I have told you before and I now tell you again, that when I took up the hatchet, it was for your good This year the English must all perish through Canada. The Master of Life commands it." They refused to join him and he pressed forward in his conspiracy. In July, 1763, Pontiac was encamped near a swamp in the vicinity of this tree, and Capt. Dalzell pro- ceeded to attack him ; Pontiac being informed of his intention through treachery, was fully prepared, and the result was, that Dalzell was forced to retreat to the Fort with the loss of 61 in killed and wounded. Most of the slain fell at the bridge ; and Parent's Creek has ever since been called, from that circum- stance. Bloody Run. The bridge was much nearer the river than Jef- ferson avenue, and the huge tree, which shows many marks of the bullets wh)ch flew on that occasion stands in what was then a thicket in the ravine be- tween the assailants and the assailed. i6 AN ITEM ON THE ■o-^h FUEL QUESTION, Which is an Important one in any Large City.

The Monument located on the CampuB Martius and formally dedicated April 9, 1872, is designed as an oflfering to the memory of the brave men from Michi- gan who perished in the war caused by the Southern Kebellion. It was designed by Randolph Rogers, ot Rome, a former resident of Michigan, and was erected by J. Q. Batterson, of Hartford, under a eub-contract with Mr. Rogers. The total cost is to be about $74,000, the most of which has been, and all will be raised by voluntary subscriptions. The Dody of the Monument is of Westerly Granite, and the statues are of Golden Bronze, cast in Munich. The general design of the Monument is embraced in four sections. The first section has, at its corners, four bronze Eagles. The second section has four statues, representing the four departments of the United States service, Infantry, Marine, Cavalry and Artillery ; each of the statutes are 7 feet high. The third section to have four allegorical females, viz: Victory, Union, Emancipation and History; these statues are to be life-size, in a sitting position. The crowning figure is 11 feet high, representing Michigan, allegorically. under the figure of an Indian. The entire height of the Monument, including the crowning figure, is 60 feet. FORT WAYNE. This fortification is three and a half miles from the Ciiy Hall, on the River Road, and is reached by the Fort Street Cars ; was commenced in 1&43, and com- mands the City of Detroit, the river channel and a large portion of the Canadian shore. Formerly of but little value, it has, under the superintendence of Gen. T. J Cram, been made a first-class fortification, mounting a large number of guns. A comparatively small amount of money will complete it, and the total cost, when finished, will be not far from $400,000. The Fort and grounds adjoining, occupy some sixty acres. Visitors are usually admitted to the grounds during the day. 24 Dr. stone, after a successful practice of twenty- four years in the easiem States and Michigan, informs his friends throughout the country that he is now bet- ter than ever prepared to receive and treat patients. His large and commodious residence Nos. 80 and 82 Wayne St. bet. Congress &. Fort Sts., has been entirely remodeled and furnished for the com- fort and convenience of invalids. It is situated in one of the finest parts of the city, and within a few min- utes' walk of the churches, places of amusement, and public offices. The celebrated Electro Hot and Cold Air Baths have been fitted up within the house in the most complete and luxurious manner, and the attendants are as ex- ferienced and attractive as anywhere can be found, nvalids wishing for a quiet home, with con- cientioup treatment, and genial influences of a home- like intercourse, cannot more effectually attain these objects than by a visit to his establishment ; and it may be added, that it affords facilities for the use of Elec- triciiy and Electro Magnetic Baths, equal to any other institute in the country. THE LADIES' DEPARTMENT will be under the direction of Mrs. Dr Stone, who has had years of ex- periencein the application of baths to invalids, and will see that the duties are performed with skill that only comes from long practice, and with civility and taithfulness. Invalids suffering with rheumatism, neuralgia severe colds, gout, dyspepsia, or any nervous disease, will receive more benefit than from any other source, in connection with proper diet and exercise.

Persons familiar with the average work of Commer- cial Colleges often express surprise at the unprece- dented success of graduates of the M-iyhew Business College, whose accredited students readily obtain good situations, hold them permanently, and usually earn and receive repeated promotions. But the reasons are manifest. In the first place, this institution attracts an excellent class of young men. Then its course of study is very complete. All students are thoroughly instructed in the fundamental principles of accounts, upon a knowledge of which their progress and success largely depend. The teaching in this College is of the same thorough character which has given to Mayhew's Series of Book-keepings their national reputation, and led to their introduction and use in the best colleges and schools in the country. Students speak in the highest praise of President Mayhew's lectures on busi. ness and accounts, which never fail to clear up all difficulties and enable learners to thoroughly compre- hend their work. These lectures are very commonly spoken of as alone worth the full cost of a scholarship.

Lateral Sewers are built by special assessment upon the particular lots benefitted, the cost being estimated upon the amount of square feet that there is in each lot. The theory of the Board of Sewer Commissioners is. that every lot is entitled to drainage, and on the peti- tion of even one individual to the Common Council, the petition is referred to the Board and at their dis cretion, a sewer may be ordered. Length of main sewers built from 1835 to 1871 inclusive 34 miles 1,279 ft. Length of lateral sewers built from 183.5 to 1871 inclusive 3« miles 4,081 ft.
