MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT.
THE principal object of the Directory is now completed, to wit : To give the name, occupation, place of business, and residence of the people of this city. How well this has been performed must be left to the judgment of the public. To this a "Business Directory " is sometimes superadded. In this volume it is omitted for various reasons. It does not neces- sarily come within the scope of a Directory ; to obtain a full, complete and impartial one involves a greater expenditure of time and labor than is generally accorded, while a superficial and incomplete one does injustice, however unintentional, to some portion of the business community. It occupies space which might be filled with other matter of greater interest to the mass of the citizens, and to a partial extent deprives ad- vertisers of the full benefit arising from their advertisements.
In lieu, therefore, of a Business Directory, the remaining pages will contain many statistics collected and compiled with great care, having reference to the general, political, social, intellectual and moral institutions and character of the city. Much will be entirely original, and all will be valuable for preservation and reference.
Advertisers will also receive a due share of attention. By the plan of insertion adopted, each one will be brought promi- nently and favorably before the public eye.
To citizens and strangers who may visit the city, the adver- tising list is especially commended. It comprises the names of firms well known to the people of the city as well established and deserving of extensive patronage, in the diverse branches of business in which they are engaged. These, taken together, furnish an excellent Business Guide, and are worthy of daily reference.
For a complete index to the following pages, see the first part of the Directory.

HISTORY OF LOWELL.
THE spot where Lowell now stands was originally the rendezvous of the Pawtucket Indians, and remained the abode of the Indians exclusively, long after the settlement of the neighboring towns. It was visited by John Eliot, " the Apostle of the Indians," as early as 1646, and continued to be visited by him every spring until after the close of King Philip's War. Hence it became known in the history of Indian missions as the "praying town" of Wamesit, or Paw- tucket. In 1726, this place, having long been abandoned by the Indians, was annexed to Chelmsford. It became quite an important part of Chelmsford, and furnished soldiers for the conquest of Louis- burg, the war of the Revolution, and the suppression of Shay's Rebellion,
Towards the close of the last century, this place became the theatre of an active lumber business. Boats, rafts and masts were passed down the river to Newburyport, in great numbers, every year. It was to facilitate this business that the Proprietors of the Locks and Can- als were incorporated in 1792, who opened the Pawtucket Canal in 1797. Then were started saw- mills, grist-mills, a scythe-factory, etc. The enterprise of the place also found vent in the fisheries ; some twenty-five hundred barrels of salmon, shad and alewives being taken from the rivers every year. A cotton mill was started in 1813, which was converted into a satinet mill in 1818. In the year last named were started powder-mills, a forging mill, and a flannel mill,-the germ of that now owned by the Belvidere Woolen Manufacturing Company,
In 1821, Nathan Appleton, Patrick T. Jackson, and others, who had already experimented with success in the manufacture of cottons at Waltham, purchased most of the stock of the Proprietors of the Locks and Canals, and about four hundred acres of the adjoining lands. In 1822, they were incorporated as the Merrimack Manufac_ turing Company, and commenced the manufacture of cottons in 1823. In 1825, the Proprietors of the Locks and Canals were re-organized under the old charter of 1792, but with extended powers. The busi- ness of the Proprietors now was to construct mills, canals and ma- chinery, and furnish land and water-power to such new companies as 16*

should from time to time be organized. Conformably to this plan, eight new cotton manufacturing companies were organized in the course of the next fifteen years, viz : the Hamilton in 1825, Appleton and Lowell in 1828, Suffolk, Tremont and Lawrence in 1830, Boott in 1835, and Massachusetts, (with which was afterwards united the Prescott,) in 1839. These, with the Merrimack, have a capital of twelve million dollars. Their productive capacity has been doubled within twelve years. They run four hundred thousand spindles and twelve thousand looms. Their annual consumption of raw cotton is thirty-six million pounds. Their annual yield of cotton fabrics is a hundred and twenty million yards. Only two of these companies print any of their fabrics, viz : the Merrimack and the Hamilton ; and these print but a portion of their fabrics. The Lowell Com- pany, in addition to its cotton fabrics, manufactures annually a mil- lion yards of Osnaburgs and rugs. A separate company, incor- porated in 1832, is devoted to the business of bleaching and dyeing. The Middlesex Company, incorporated in 1830, has a capital of one million dollars, runs four mills, and manufactures annually a million and a half yards of cassimeres and other woolen cloths. The num- ber of Lowell operatives, of all descriptions, exceeds fifteen thou- sand.
Nor has private enterprise been wanting. Its presence is attested by numerous wadding mills, batting mills, saw-mills, grist-mills, ma- chine shops, planing-mills, print-shops, dye-houses, tanneries, belt factories, screw-bolt factories, cotton and woolen carpet factories, reed and loom-harness factories, bag-factories, card-factories, bobbin and shuttle factories, carriage and harness factories, bedstead factories, and other mechanical establishments, involving a capital of, perhaps, a million dollars.
The first religious society in Lowell-the germ of St. Anne's Church-was organized in 1824. There are now twenty churches, viz : five Congregational, three Baptist, three Methodist, three Roman Catholic, two Unitarian, two Universalist, one Episcopal, and one Free Will Baptist; besides several societies of Presbyterians, Swe- denborgians, Second Adventists, Spiritualists, Come-Outers, etc.
The public buildings of Lowell are, the City Hall, erected in 1830 ; the Alms House, erected in 1835 ; the Market House, erected in 1837 ; the Old Jail, erected in 1838; the Court House, erected in 1851 ; Huntington Hall, erected in 1853; and the New Jail, the most costly edifice in the city, erected in 1857.
There are two bridges across the Merrimac at Lowell, viz : Paw- tucket Bridge, built in 1792, and re-built in 1805 ; and Central Bridge, built in 1826, re-built in 1843, and covered in 1849. Several bridges have been thrown across the Concord, between 1724 and the present

time, which are now demolished. Three are now standing, viz : East Merrimac Street Bridge, built in 1857; Church Street Bridge, built in 1858 ; and the Cemetery Bridge, built in 1847.
The first schools in Lowell were conducted on the "District Sys- tem," which was abolished in 1832. There are now a high school, eight grammar schools, three intermediate schools, and fifty-one primaries,-involving an annual outlay of over fifty thousand dollars, exclusive of the cost of land, buildings, etc.
The publication of the first Lowell newspaper-now the Journal and Courier-was commenced in 1826. Some forty newspapers have at different times been started. Four only are published now.
The first bank was established in 1829. There are now six banks, viz : the Appleton, Lowell, Merchants, Prescott, Railroad, and Wamesit; with a capital of fourteen hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
The Fire Department, established in 1829, contains four hundred and fifty men, divided into twelve companies, with ten engines. The Militia of Lowell consists of four companies, viz : the Mechanic Phalanx, City Guards, Watson Light Guards, and Lawrence Cadets ; each company containing forty men.
The Boston and Lowell Railroad was incorporated in 1830, was opened for travel in 1835, and cost eighteen hundred thousand dol- lars. The Nashua and Lowell was incorporated in 1835, the Stony Brook in 1845, the Lowell and Lawrence in 1846, and the Salem and Lowell in 1848. The direction of all these roads is now centralized in the Boston and Lowell Railroad Company.
A second re-organization of the Proprietors of the Locks and Canals was effected in 1845, when the Machine Shop, which had heretofore been an appendage to the business of the Proprietors, was incorporated as a separate establishment. The Machine Shop form- erly found employment for more than twelve hundred men. It now employs about one hundred.
Five other institutions remain to be noticed, viz : the Middlesex Mechanic Association, incorporated in 1825 ; the Dispensary, estab- lished in 1836; the Hospital, in 1839 ; the Missionary Association, in 1843; the City School Library, in 1844. This library has been re- cently re-catalogued, and contains over ten thousand volumes.
