When we were here Il forget exactly what
ycar) previous to 1860, the appearance OF the
place, to my qocellectiou,> presented very Muth
that Of an old field, witha few straggnF houses
here and there raised to Il height barely Suill-
cicnt to attract notice Now the place is Gu
tircly changed, and while there arc-lng rows 81
stores of the most creditablc architecture, yet
there are distinct buildings which in size,
architecture, and material would Ito credit to
the great city of New York. \ street has; been
laid out three miles III length, II am told one
portion paved with stone, another the Nlchol-
son pavement, and. as you advance towards the
suburbs, plank and along the whole is stretch
cd railway with no grade anywhere exceed
ing ten feet. One small horse can draw cigh
teen to twenty passengers There are many
cross streets laid out and built upon, varying
from half to mile in length: Some of the
private rtsidcnccs here are beautiful the
grounds planted and turtcd, and kept as eXqul
sitcly as the Central Park.
The population of this city in 1850 was 1896:
In 1870, according to the census Of the United
States Government, it was 81, ,73l, an increase
Of 80 per cent. . ..... e..
The great business Of the place. like that OF
Chicago seems to be in grain, and the seven Or
eight large elevators here are very conspicuous
objects in the features of the city. They can
store from 100000 to l,0oo,ooO Of bushels each
