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.

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-

larly organized, and its present worthy chief magistrate* the Hon. John W. Willey, elected Mayor, with a Gxty Council.

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

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.

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.

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- sylvania and Ohio canal, and Ohio River, is one hundred 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.

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 one hundred and thirty-six, Philadelphia three hundred and one, New-York ninety-six.

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 1
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

The amuunt and value of the imports exceed by more than a hundred per cent that of the exports.

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*"

OF THE
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 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.
