CORUNNA.
Corunna is an incorporated city, two miles square, and is situated on the D. & M. R. R., 75 miles northwest of Detroit, 22 miles west of Flint and 30 miles north of Lansing, which latter place is reached by the J. L. & S. R. R., an omnibus running to all pas- senger trains on that road, a distance of 3 miles. It is the county seat, and has a com modious and substantial brick court house, fire proof brick county offices detached from the main building, and a residence for the sheriff of the county-all enclosed within a beautiful court yard and park, occupying one entire quare of the city. The Shiawas- see river, which at this point is a beautiful stream, runs through the heart of the city, and at that point affords the most valuable hydraulic power that can be found along its entire length. The surrounding country is one of the best agricultural sections in that part of the state, and it has in its immediate vicinity some of the best farms in the county. Among its palatial residences, some of which are the finest in the county, are those of Hon. H. McCardy, built of Milwaukee brick, Hon. John N. Ingersoll, A. T. Nich- ols, Esq., A. McArthur, Esq., Mrs. S. B. Reynaie, aud others.
Besides some eighty mercantile establish- ments, some of them attractive features, that supply the trading wants of the entire northeast quarter of the county, Corunna has among its principal manufacturing establish- ments, a flouring mill of four run of stone. plaster mill, saw mill, stave mill, woolen factory, hub and spoke factory, fanning mill factory, carriage factory, three blacks mith shops, three wheelright shops, marble cutting yard, two foundries, three sash, door and blind factories and planing mills, brewery, and organ factory. The Corunna Manufac- turing Company, with a capital of $100,000, and occupying an immense brick structure 200 feet in length and So in width, operates in all sorts of fancy wood work, but prin- cipally in the manufacture of gilt and fancy wood mouldings of all sizes, employing at present over fifty hands, and contemplating the employnient of three times that number within the year. The greatest product of wealth, however, and which is destined to make Corunna one of the most important manufacturing towns of the in- terior of the State, is the bituminous coal and fire clay, which are now being success. fully worked, just east of the city, to which a first class railroad branch has been laid by the D. & M. Company, running from the depot in the city to the coal banks. The coal vein now being mined is Sz feet below the surface, four feet in thickness, and is reached
by an inclined shaft that drops one foot in three, The Engleman Transportation Com- pany has recently bought one-half of the in- terest for $120,000, and will soon increase their present large force, when they expect to ship 80 to 100 tons a day. The Negaunee Iron and Coal Mining Company, composed of capitalists on Lake Superior, has been organized with a view of establishing smelting works at this point, during the current year. An excellent stone quarry for building pur- poses is also worked near the coal bed.
Corunna has also one National bank, one private bank, a printing office -- the Shia- wassee American-and five church edifices- Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Univeralist and Roman Catholic, and an Episcopal church building. Its societies are-Masonic lodge, Chapter, Commandry and Council- Odd Fellows lodge, and Encampment- Grange, Patrons of Husbandry-and Ladies Library Society, with over a thousand vol- umes. John N. Ingersoll postmaster.
