SOUTH BEND. The county seat of St. Joseph county, is the third largest manufacturing city in the state, located on the St. Joseph river, which furnishes a water power that no other stream in Indi- ana can compete with. It is traversed by
an envious and world-wide reputation. The city supports four banks-two national an ! two savings-several churches of different denominations, and seven hotels, amor." which the Oliver and St. James are the b., and are both decidedly first-class in every respect, and are not equaled in Northern Indiana.

the Michigan Central, North Western Grand Trunk, Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroads, 85 miles east of Chi- cago and 160 north of Indianapolis. The city has a population of 13,324, an increase of over 100 per cent. since 1870, fully one- half of which are employed in its extensive manufactories. Its wide streets are well lighted by gas. It has a good fire depart- ment, and a bonded indebtedness of $275,- 000, but no floating debt whatever. The valuation of property, real and personal, for taxation, will reach fully $5,000,000 for 1880. No city in the west is better sup- plied with educational facilities; besides the high school, ward schools, and St. Joseph Academy, two miles north, is the old established and well known Notre Dame University and St. Mary's Academy, the former for males, the latter for females. These institutions have built for themselves
three furniture, two plow, five wagon, one bracket, one grain drill, one clover separator, a stone and cement and two pump factories. Prominent among its leading manufacturing firms is the Koontz Bros., manufacturers of the celebrated " Hercules" Wind Mill. This is an enterprising firm, and their mill has no superior in the market. The Misha- waka Wood Pulp Co., with mills located at Mishawaka and South Bend, are extensive manufacturers of fine ground wood pulp, also South Bend Chilled Plow Co., manufactur- ers of the celebrated South Bend Chilled Plow. In the manufacture of wagons and carriages, this city stands foremost in the United States, and Mr. A. Coquillard, manufacturer of the well known celebrated "Coquillard " Wagon, while not represent. ing the largest institution, places on the market a superior road wagon that is be- coming more popular each year, which im-
