COLDWATER.
The county seat of Branch county, is, with the exception of Adrian, the largest town in Michigan on the line of the L. S. & M. S. Ry. It is 132 miles west of Detroit, 155 east of Chicago, and 65 southwest of Lansing.
The first house was built in IS29, and the town laid out in 1832, under the name of Lyons, which was in the following year changed to Coldwater. The L. S. & M. S. R'y was completed to this point in IS51, and it became the county seat in the same year. It was incorporated as a village in 1837, received a city charter in IS61, and now has a population of 7,000.
The city is located on a rich, level prairie, . and with its fine public buildings and beau- tiful private residences, made more attrac- tive still by nicely laid out and well-worked streets, will pass for one of the pleasantest towns in Michigan.
It has been built up and derives its sup- port from the rich farming country that lies about it. Wheat, corn, live stock, and wool are staples for which Coldwater is a noted market. The manufactures are agricultural implements, wheelbarrows, staves, wind- mills, furniture, sash, doors, blinds, window shades, cigar boxes, etc. There are three foundries and three flouring mills, and nu- merous smaller industries.
Two weekly newspapers are published here, the Republican and the Reporter. There are 2 national banks and I private bank, 7 churches-Baptist, Catholic, Episco- pal, Presbyterian, Methodist Episcopal, Wes- Jeyan Methodist, and Lutheran. The city is lighted with gas, has good hotels, and a spacious public hall.

The greatest attraction of Coldwater is the art gallery of the Hon. Henry C. Lewis, on which he has expended in pictures and statuary alone some $75,000. With the buildings, his outlay has not fallen much, if any, below $100,000. It is open only on Saturdays, when the public are invited from far and near, to visit it without charge.
No philanthropic citizen, however, should visit Coldwater without paying a visit to the State Public School recently established here. This school was founded by the State for the care and education of the chil- dren who had previously been brought up in wretchedness in the various county poor houses. It has a capacity for 150 pupils. Proposals for the enlargement of its capacity are already under consideration. The insti- tution cost $100,000.
Coldwater has stage communication with Union City and Girard daily, with Fremont, Ind., and Kinderhook tri-weekly, and with East Gilead and Bethel weekly. Telegraph, Western Union. Express, United States. Mail, daily. Julius S. Barber, postmaster.
