EARLY CHICAGO.


A mail (weekly on horseback) was first received in 1832; Jona- than N. Bailey, postmaster.


In 1833, emigration began to arrive in considerable numbers, and the disposition to speculate was manifest this year in the advance of lots. A great Indian payment was made near the present site of the Lake House, at which some persons displayed their civilization by stealing from the Indians. This year. the mail was received in a one-horse wagon; J. S. C. Hogan, post- master. In the latter part of the year, the work on the harbor was commenced, and the present light-house erected. During this year, emigration was very considerable.


In 1833, John Calhoun started the Chicago Democrat, which has been published regularly ever since; a four-horse stage, semi- weekly, was started; several brick buildings were erected; the school section was sold this year, bringing $39,000.


1835-The population this year it is said amounted to 5,500, probably an over-estimate; the concourse of strangers, however, was very great. Speculation raged throughout the West, and the price of real estate was exorbitant, as was apparent from the price of canal lots at the sale held this year; the mail was received tri-weekly. This year, Thomas O. Davis commenced the publi- cation of the Chicago American.


1836-On the 4th day of July, the ceremony of breaking ground on the canal took place at Canalport, in presence of a large concourse of spectators. A branch of the State Bank was located here this year; speculation reached its height in the latter part of 1836; the excitement was extraordinary; strangers flocked here from all parts of the Union to share in the golden harvest ; fortunes were made in a day. Steam-boats and schooners in great numbers began to ply between Buffalo and this port; provi- sions of all kinds were scarce, and commanded almost any price.


The Lake House and several other public houses were erected this year, a measure of necessity, it being almost impossible to find places of accommodation.


In 1837, the fort was finally abandoned; since which time it has been occupied by private families and persons in charge of the public works. A daily mail was received this year; Sidney Abell, postmaster. During the session of 1836 and 7, the legis- lature passed the charter incorporating the city; it is similar in its provisions to the charter of other cities; a municipal court was provided for in the charter, but has since been abolished, it not meeting the objects contemplated by it.


During the year 1837, the injurious effects of speculation began to be experienced; real estate fell as rapidly as it had risen in value; and failures followed failures in rapid succession ; no town

EARLY CHICAGO.


in the West was more deeply involved in the calamity than Chi- cago; and nothing but her great natural resources and the self- sacrifices, devotion, and enterprise of her citizens saved her from a prostration of many years duration; no perceptible check how- ever was given to the progress of improvements. During this and the two succeeding years, some of the most permanent and valuable buildings were erected; the amount of travel was greater each succeeding year, and the trade of the place rapidly increased in value and amount.


In 1838-9, nothing very important occurred. The Canal was in progress during this period, and had necessarily an influence upon the business of Chicago. The country was now settled to such an extent that Chicago became the deposit of a large amount of produce annually, and the trade in lumber, salt, and other articles of consumption in the interior, was daily giving more and more stability and extent to the business of the place.


During the year 1844, Chicago has had many and serious diffi- culties to contend with, and it is a matter of surprise that the consequences have not been of a more serious character. Dur- ing the spring, and as late in the season as August, it rained almost incessantly; swelling every little stream into a torrent, and rendering the roads almost impassable at that season of the year when the farmer is in the habit of bringing his produce to market, and when good roads are indispensable. The past winter has been unusually mild and open; there has been no snow, and the degree of cold has not been sufficient to keep the roads in a traveling condition for wagons. These causes, never before known since the settlement of the country, kept thousands from our market, who would otherwise have come here to sell their produce or exchange it with our merchants for goods.


Notwithstanding this unfortunate combination of circumstances, it will be seen, by reference to the tabular statements of the amount and value of the exports and imports of the past year, and a com- parison of these with the tables of former periods, that there has been no diminution of trade, but, on the contrary, a large increase, particularly of some articles, over the year previous. There is, it is true, a trifling balance of trade against us; but a careful exami- nation of the subject will, we think, satisfy every candid and enlightened mind, that this result is susceptible of the most satis- factory explanation and can not be regarded in the light of a per- manent misfortune. We subjoin a statement from one of our most enlightened merchants on this subject, and bespeak for it a careful consideration.


55


EARLY CHICAGO.


"The opinion which at first view may be formed of the com- mercial prosperity of Chicago, from the great disparity of Imports and Exports, is by no means flattering; and were there no other means of liquidating the balance than by the exported products of the country, the prospect would be discouraging in the ex- treme; but happily such is not the case.


"The emigrants who have settled amongst us for the last two years, have brought with them large sums of money which have been expended in substantial improvements, adding greatly to the wealth of both town and country. These disbursements have done much to equalize the apparent balance of trade; enabling our merchants to purchase large amounts of exchange.


"No inconsiderable amount of merchandise has been sent to the lumbering districts of which we have no account in our export list, and, notwithstanding the present depressed state of trade --- when we take into consideration the value of the goods and lum- ber on hand, and the amount of produce in store, we have good reason for the confident belief that the business interests and prosperity of Chicago are as firmly based as those of any town in the Western States."


On the first Saturday, the 3d day of February, a new weekly paper, called the Chicago Democratic Advocate and Commercial Advertiser, was started by Ellis & Fergus, publishers and proprie- tors. It advocates the principles of the Democratic party.


The charter election, March 4th, 1844, was unusually exciting. Mr. Garrett received only 7 votes over his competitor, Mr. Dole. This election was afterward contested, on the ground of illegality in the 5th ward, one of the clerks not being a legal voter. An- other election was held, at which Mr. Alson S. Sherman beat Mr. Garrett by a majority of 176 votes.


The Chicago Daily and Weekly Express, W. W. Brackett, editor and proprietor, was discontinued on the 20th day of April, and the Chicago Daily and Weekly Fournal, under the direction of Wilson & Norris, established in its place. No change took place in the political character of the paper; the fournal, as was the Express, being the organ of the Whig party.


The Maria Hilliard, a beautiful schooner of 191 tons Custom House measurement, built by Mr. James Averill, and owned by Capt. Geo. B. Fearing, who also commands her, Mr. James Averill and C. Walker & Co., was launched on the 20th day of April. The Maria Hilliard has made four trips to Buffalo and one across the lakes the past season, and has met, in every particular, the expectations of her owners. There is not a more beautiful model on the lakes.


56


EARLY CHICAGO.


On the 22d day of April, Mrs. Margaret Abbott, wife of Dr. Lucas Abbott of Detroit, died very suddenly at Waterford, Mich. Mrs. Abbott occupied a prominent place in the history of Chi- cago; she was the daughter of Mr. John Kinzie, Indian agent here at a very early period; was residing with her father at the time of the Indian massacre in 1812, on which occasion her life was preserved by the aid and devotion of a friendly Indian, who rushed with her in his arms into the lake.


On the 4th day of May, the steamer Nile made her first appearance in our harbor. The Wisconsan arrived on the 6th.


The Rt .- Rev. Wm. Quarters, Bishop of the Diocess, arrived on the 9th day of May.


In Common Council, May 9th, an ordinance was passed pro- viding for the erection of a new school-house in the first ward.


During the month of May, there were 13 rainy days, 4 days during which the atmosphere was clear of clouds, the remainder were more or less cloudy.


On the 29th day of May, a weekly paper, called the Gem of the Prairie, was started by Jones & Beach, editors and proprie- tors. It is among the neatest papers in the West; devoted to literature, temperance, and general intelligence, and has attained a circulation of about 800. It is now edited by J. Campbell & Co., 65 Lake Street.


On Wednesday, the 5th of June, the corner-stone of Trinity Church was laid [137-143 Madison Street]. A number of articles, among which was the City Directory of 1844, were deposited in a leaden box under the corner-stone.


August 2, Gen. Winfield Scott and suite arrived on a visit.


August election, 548 Democratic majority in Chicago.


August 8, fire, a barn, on corner of Clark and Washington Sts.


August 9, tornado, a severe storm of wind and rain, accompa- nied with thunder and lightning. The State Bank Buildings, southwest corner S. Water and LaSalle, and the residence of E. H. Hadduck, on Michigan Ave., near Lake St., were struck.


August 9, shipwreck, schooner Daniel Whitney was lost in the gale on Lake Michigan. All on board perished.


December 4th, the city was visited by a severe storm of wind; the south wall of the First Baptist Church, then in process of erection, on southeast corner of Washington and LaSalle Sts., was blown down, falling and crushing a dwelling-house adjoining.


This year private expresses began to run daily between Chi- cago and New York.


August 15, common council passed an ordinance authoriz- ing a loan to construct a breakwater on the lake shore, opposite the Ist ward; now occupied by the Illinois Central R. R.
