 JOSHUA STow, Esq, of Connecticut, arrived in this city this morning on his annual visit 10 'the Reserve.'

Early in May, l7ee, surveying party was sent out from Connecticut to sur vey the Reserve. Of this party Stow was one. They arrived at Conneaut on the 4tls day of July, l796. and there made the first celebration of the day that was ever held in this part of Ohio.
 In August, 1790, they reached this place. which was then, by them, named Cleveland, in compliment to Moses Cleveland, Esq, one of the party. Judge Stow says he shot at panther, and he killed numbers of wild tur- kies in the woods where our fine streets are now built.
