Cincinnati.

The following brief sketch of the early
history Of Cincinnati, we clip from the Non
pareil:
This city is row about sixty-four years
old. Some time between October, 1877,
and January, 1888, John Cleves Symmes,
of New Jersey, made a contract with the
Treasury Board of the United States, on
behalf of himself and associates for the
lands lying between the two Miami rivers,
bounded on the south by the Ohio rivers
and running north 50 far as to iaclude one
million acres. OF this purchase Symmes
sold to Matthias Denman six hundred and
forty acres, lying opposite Licking river. on
which Cincinnati is now principally built,
for forty-nine dollars. About the 10th of
September, 1888, a party met on the site
Of the city, and made a plat of the incipl-
ent town. On the 26th Of December,
1888, the first landing Of the immigrants for
the settlement was made and in January,
1889, the streets were surveyed and named
in that part of the town lying between
Broadway and Western Row. During this
year several log houses and one frame house
were built, and some of the lots, ali of which
were north of Seventh street, were cleared.
The legal title to the grounds on which the
town was built being still in Symmes, the
patentee, all the deeds for the original in
and out lots were made by him. In 1790
the lots on fractional sections number II
were laid out by the patentee; and on the
the I'd of March, 1908, the reservation
around Fort Washington was sold in lots by
the Surveyor General Of the Northwestern
Territory, under the direction of the Secre.
tary of the Treasury. Between the first
and tenth Of January, 1870, the name
was changed from I.osantiville (which ii
had been at first chrstenedD to Cincin.
natl. Such is the brief sketch of the early
history of the Queen City Of the West
What a contrast she now presents to the
struggling log built village Of sixty years
ago."
