 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. 
 
 It', 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 those important 
 objects, will meet with the encouragement to which he 
 trusts he Is entitled for honest endeavors to promote the 
 general welfare.

 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND. 
 
 CLEVELAND CITT 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, 
 106 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. 41 P 31' 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 preparing 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 N 
 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 of Penn. 
 Hylvania, 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 Jands ceded to the U. States, Connecticut claimed 
 both the so-1 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, 
 Oroton, Fairfield and others, by the depredations of the 
 British in the Revolutionary war, whence originated the 
 appellation Fire Land* 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 Bruce, 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 compandor 
 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 
 re convenient management of the concerns of the com. 
 pany they constituted a board of directors, and appointed a 
 clerk to record their proceedings and keep a book of records 
 i ownership and transfer of stock ; which consisted mere- 
 
 i^>nn nnW?, 6 paid f r 8aid 3 ' 000 >00 of acres, and was 
 i,f uu,000 dollars ; and every person who owned stock in 
 id company was deemed to be an equitable tenant-in corn- 
 on m the lands purchased' according to the amount of 
 
 i onn nn^u' estim , ated in dollar9 a "d was called so many 
 1,200,000 thousandths of said reserve.
 
 H1STORT OP CtEVKlATO). 
 
 Ths Indian title to that portion of said reserve, which 
 lies East of Cuyahoga River and Portage Path, had been 
 extinguished by Wayne'* 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 th,e 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 Steubsnville,) 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 vhich lay north of 
 Wayne's treaty line, and west of Cuyahoga, was erected 
 into a county called Wayne, (scat of justice Detroit,) cm- 
 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 vest of Cuyahoga 
 and Portage Path, until July 10, 1800, at which time 
 TrumbuU county was established by proclamation of the

 governor^ embracing just the whole of the Connecticut 
 reserve. p The town of Warren was selected for the seat 
 of justice, officers were duly appointed, and about the 20th 
 of August, of th year 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 on- 
 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 post-master 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.

 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 wh6re the Commercial Bank 
 and P. M. Weddell's stores now stand ; and in September, 
 1790, 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 at right angles. 
 Those running parallel with the lake, were Lake, Superior, 
 Huron and Ohio, on a course N. 56 E., Superior being 
 eight and the others sir 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 My 160 acres, varying something in quantity. 
 AftfT 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 
 V
 
 14 HISTORY OF CLKVXLARD. 
 
 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 proper- 
 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 drew 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 surveyori 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 ia 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 Kirtland, 
 of Poland, has been agent since 1799 or 1800. 
 
 Subsequent to the drafts and division among the propri- 
 etors in 1798, a number of tho owners of lands prepared
 
 BISTORT OF CLEVELAND. 15 
 
 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, Lake 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 (he 
 unsold land in the aforesaid six townships, including tho 
 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 wag 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 lota in the city of 
 Cleveland to make the tracts of equal value. Thus arran- 
 ged they had 90 parcels for distribution, (90-fl, 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 waa entitled, if he 
 chose, to draw a tract and its annexation in severally 
 and was then entitled to a deed for it from the Trustees. 
 Those owning amaller 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 
 severally 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
 
 13 HISTOHY 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. 
 cea 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 membera 
 of the Company by 46 drafts or parcels, 826,097 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 knd in 
 Mentor and other parts of the eix 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 161, 162, 
 and 216, were drawn for and finally completed the distri- 
 bution of the lots in Cleveland. 
 
 Tvumbull 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 bcen'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. 
 mencemcnt 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.
 
 niSTORT OF CLEVELAND. 19 
 
 But when war was over, the city was found not much the 
 better 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 Spaffbrd, under the direction of Judge Kirtland, the 
 agent of the company, retook the minutes of the suryeys 
 of the lota, 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* 
 meni 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 bo 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 new 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 , 1838, with extended 
 boundaries. 
 
 On April Hth. 1830, the City of Cleveland wai regu-

 larly organized, and its present worthy chief magistrate* 
 the Hon. JOHN W. WILLEY. elected Mayor, with a Gity

 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 tho 
 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. 19,1920, 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 tho church and congre- 
 gation, one half of the time, for a year. Mr. B. contin-
 
 43 CHUXOItES. 
 
 ued his ministerial duties until January 24th, 1830, a pe- 
 riod of between six and seven years. 
 
 The Rev. John Sisaon 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 samo 
 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 1635, 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. follow ing. 
 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 ia 
 large, and apparently limited only by the capacity of the 
 house, which it is believed, is sufficiently spacious for one 
 congregation.
 
 Tut SECOND PKESUVTKKIAX Congregation will hold 
 Divine service in a largo room over the City Council 
 Room, until the completion of their new Church, which is 
 now being erected. 
 
 THE FIRST EPISCOPAL CHURCH stands on the corner of 
 Sem-ca 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 pointa or spires. 
 
 This Church was composed of inhabitants of Cleveland 
 and Brooklyn, and M'as organized in 1810, and ths llev. 
 Roger Searle was elected Rector. The services were not 
 held regularly for several of the first yean. 
 
 In 1628 the society was incorporated by the name of 
 Trinity Church and during that year the pa-sent 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 is 
 the main entrance. It contains the town clock and a 
 heavy bell the whole crowned with a lofty spire one him. 
 dredand 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 ai ties, and subdivided into one 
 hundred and twelve slips. 
 
 .This Church was constituted on the third Saturday in 
 February, 1833, with eighteen members. The number of 
 communicants at present is two hundred, eighty of whom 
 were added within the lust year. The Rev. Levi Tucker 
 u the present minister. 
 
 Trfe BETHEL CHURCH, situated at the corner of Dia. 
 mond street, is a neat frame building measuring forty by
 
 44 CBUBCHK3. 
 
 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, have 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. 
 
 GEBMAN. 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, 
 Datives of the Vaterland. The Rev. William Steinmeier 
 is their present pastor. 
 
 METHODIST. Both congregations of Methodists are now 
 erecting farge and substantial brick churches, which they 
 expect to finish this summer. At present, these denomina- 
 tions hold Divine service in the Court House.
 
 COUOT-HOUSE JAIL CITY HOSPITAL MARKETS. 45 
 
 THE COURT HOUSE stanch on an eminence in the public 
 square. It is a brick building, two stories high ; the front 
 is ornamented with stone antaeg 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. 
 her, 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 ona 
 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- 
 perintcndant, 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, fcC. 
 
 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 rwenty.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 Wilson 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 ordinary character, 
 combining utility and gratification with pleasure. Mr. 
 Richardson has just commenccd'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 arc afforded in every 
 variety. 
 
 THE WILLBY 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. Willoy, by the present oc- 
 cupants, Messrs. Thompson 6c Ward. 
 
 N. PERRV, 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 ornanieatal 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 
 lota of business precincts. 
 
 The CLEVELAND REAIVIN-O Roost ASSOCIATION was 
 formed by the voluntary .subscriptions of a number of gen- 
 tlemen, in the fall o/ l$3~j. The obj.jct of the Association, 
 as expressed in their articles, is, to furnish Reviews, Pam-

 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.

 ment of the kind in the state of Ohio. 
 
 CLEVELAND CENTUE DRAW BRIDGE. This bridge, 
 which may be classed among the most superior structures 
 of the kind in the state of 'Ohio, crosses the Cuyaho^a 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 but- 
 rnent on either shore, and piers of solid masonry erected 
 iti the centre of the rirer. . Between the piers there is a draw 
 sufficient to admit vessels of forty-nino feet beam to pass 
 through. The length of the bridge is two hundred feet 
 breadth, including sidewalks, thirty-threc feet, and the 
 height of the piers above the surface of the water may bo 
 estimated at twenty-four feet. The whole, which with the 
 exception of the draw, is roofcd'and cnc!o> ,;/], presents an 
 imposing appearance and reflects much credit on the archi.

 Cleveland by th* owners, on the express stipulation that it 
 should for ever if ma in free for the accommodation of the 
 public, although ibe Legislature had previously chartered it

 RAILROADS. 5) 
 
 RAILROADS. 
 
 CLEVELAND, WARHEN 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, t3 the State line of 
 Pennsylvania. The measure originated and is now pros- 
 ecuted with the view of uniting Pittsburgh, in tho State 
 of Pennsylvania, situated on the headwaters of the Ohio 
 river, with Cleveland, in the state of Ohio, situated '.j>on 
 Lake Erie. At the point of its intersection '.vith 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 raithorides 
 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 one. hundred dollars each, and in case of the 
 creation of a larger amount than the expenditures of the 
 company may require, it does 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 iu 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 tbink 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 ajiy 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 lino of Rail Road 
 from Baltimore to the great Jakes. 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 Cieveland,.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
 
 KAIL-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. 
 <Jeavored 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 
 hasher 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 tources of the western trade 1 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, 33 miles takes the Pennsylva- 
 nia and Ohio canal by Warren and New-Castle to Bearer 
 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

 Mountain rail road over a portage of thirty-seven miles to 
 Hollidaysburgh, and taken by a canal boat to Harrisburgh 
 and Philadelphia, or down the Susquehanna to Baltimore. 
 From Cleveland to Philadelphia it is about five hundred 
 and eighty .two miles by water, except the portage between 
 Johnstown and Hollidaysburgh. By rail road

 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 
 Pittsburgh to Cumberland by the Chesapeake and Ohio 
 canal, is one hundred and forty miles ; from Cumberland 
 to Point of Rocks, one hundred and five ; Point of Rocks 
 to Baltimore, by rail road, seventy-five i Pittsburgh to Bal- 
 timore, by canal and rail road, three hundred and twenty 
 miles. 
 
 We cannot give the distance by the Baltimore and Ohio 
 rail road from Baltimore to Pittsburgh, but probably it is not 
 materially different from the canal route above given.

 the same. By rail road from Dunkirk to the North River 
 above New-York, the distance is diminished about ono

 hundred miles, making it aix 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 vat 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 can enter this harbor under all winds, when 
 the ship is manageable. The western merchant who visits 
 New-Yorkor 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 
 one hundred and thirty-six, Philadelphia three hundred and 
 one, New-York ninety-six. Uniting the canal and rail

 The Pennsylvania and Ohio canal will be completed in 
 1838, which opens a water communication by canal from 
 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 
 will the immense land travel between the east and west 
 prefer? Which route will early goods prefer? Which 
 route will western produce wishing to reach the east early 
 in the season, be most likely to select ? And which route 
 will fall produce and fall goods take, both for despatch and 
 security f 
 
 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 
 ftnd 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 becoming a great thoroughfare. It is safe 
 to conclude that this road will soon be made. 
 
 THE CLEVELAND AND NEWBURO RAILROAD COMPANY, 
 capita] $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- 
 boundingwith 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.
 
 HARBOB NAVIGATION AND COMMERCE. 57 
 
 THE CLEVELA>T> & BEDFORD RAILROAD COMPAJTT was 
 incorporated in 1835, to connect Bedford, a thriving vil- 
 lage twelve miJes south of Cleveland, on the Pittsburgh 
 road, with the Lake and Ohio canal at Cleveland. 
 
 HABBOR. The harbor of Cleveland ia 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, moas- 
 urea 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, since 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. Wahvorth, Esq., as agent for the 
 engineer department. 
 
 NAVIGATION AND COMMERCE. 
 
 The trade of Cleveland has, within tho 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 Eric 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 tv.-n 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 property, it will be

 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-

 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 numbor 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.

 or 
 
 CITY OF OHIO, 
 
 For 1837-38.
 
 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 wiis Brooklyn, but on the 3d of March, 
 1836, the Legislature passed an act incorporating 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 
 tyle 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 comers 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.
 
 114 OHIO CITY. 
 
 Among the principal manufactories of the place may be 
 mentioned the Cuyahoga Steam Furnace, the Salseratus 
 manufactory, the Steam- Boiler factory, and the Glue man- 
 ufactory. 
 
 The CUYAHOOA STEAM FUKNACE, situate on River 
 st. corner of Washington st. was incorporated in 1 834, 
 for the manufacture of cast and wrought iron work, adapt - 
 ed to the wants of the country. Capital f 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. 
 nirihed the greater proportion of the better class of mills in 
 this region with their irons. 
 
 The establishment is under the Control of Mr. Charles 
 Hoyt, who has acquired a reputation for ita 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 
 Councilman, a Recorder, Marshal and City Treasurer.
