ST. JOSEPH.
The village of St. Joseph, situated as it is at the mouth of the beautiful river of the same name, presents a strong claim as one of the most
ATTRACTIVE SUMMER RESORTS
on the east shore of lake Michigan. It stands on a bold promontory, elevated from 80 to 100 feet, having the lake on the northwest side and the St. Joseph on north and east, affording the best harbor on the east side of the lake. The view from the town of the lake, the river and the surrounding country is one of unparalleled beauty, cov- ering many miles in extent, thickly dotted with fruit farms, under a high state of cul- tivation, and many elegant residences with good roads leading in all directions. The river is navigable for a small class of steamboats for a distance of 50 miles into the interior, that daily ply on its waters during the season of navigation. Daily lines of steamers plying on the lake to and from various cities and towns on both shores. One of the best appointed rail- roads, the Chicago & Western Michigan, passes through the town, connecting with the Michigan Central R. R., at New Buf- falo, 28 miles south, and with three lines of railroad in the northern and eastern portions of the State. By these roads it is 93 miles to Chicago, 87 to 'Grand Rapids, and 200 to Detroit. A number of exten- sive manufacturing establishments give employment to several hundred artisans and laborers, and a liberal supply of mer- chants are engaged in all lines of trade. There are several
FINE AND SPACIOUS HOTELS,
with landlords " who know how to keep a hotel, " and to make their guests comfortable and feel at home. Extensive livery stables, all kinds of fruit in their season fresh from the gardens, orchards and vineyards, the waters of the lake and river abounding with all the varieties of fresh water fish. Fishing craft of all kinds, from the steam tug down to the sail-boat, the row-boat, skiff and canoe: abundance of wild game to tempt gentlemen of Nimrod-like propen- sities; bathing houses on the beach of the lake. In short, all the attractive features that usually induce gentlemen and ladies to seek an agreeable health and summer re- sort, where they can enjoy the cool breeze from the lake during the heated terin.
CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, ETC.
There are seven convenient and elegant churches, representing the Baptist, Catho.
lic, Congregational, Lutheran. Evangelical and Methodist denominations, for the ac- commodation of those who desire to enjoy preaching on Sunday, the various pulpits of which are supplied with clergymen of marked ability. The village has a national bank, excellent school accommodations, & large and commodious opera house and 2 smaller halls. Three newspapers, the Lake Shore Daily, the Traveler-Herald (Republi- can), and Republican (Democratic), There are pleasant and beautiful drives in and about the town, a hospitable population, and a well-ordered police force that pre- vents disorder. The
ASSESSED VALUATION
of property, real and personal, is $600,000, and the school district has a bonded in- debtedness of $30,000, the sum of $10,000 has been recently spent in street improve- ments, and $9,000 has been raised and given for the purpose of locating inanufac- turing enterprises. The sum of 823,000 has been expended during the past two years by the United States government, a large number of other improvements are in progress, and the place has made greater progress in the past few years than during the previous twenty. St. Joseph was set- tled in 1831 and incorporated in 1834. It is in St. Joseph township, Berrien Co., 15 miles northwest of Berrien Springs, the county seat. The vicinity being the cen ter of what is known as the "great fruit growing belt" of Michigan, cannot fail to interest visitors, whose tastes lead to horticultural pursuits, as much valuable information can be obtained from the very intelligent gentlemen who make the busi- ness of horticulture a specialty. Excel- lent shipping facilities are afforded both by rail and water. A stemmer plies regularly between this point and Chicago (60 miles). making daily trips. The principal ship- ments are fruits, fruit packages, paper pails and tubs, woolen goods. Inmber and fish. Telegraph, Western Union. Ex press, American. Mail, daily. Leonard J. Merchant, postmaster.
