ROCHESTER IN 1860.
With uniform, healthy growth, the city, which was chartered, in 1834, with twelve thousand two hundred and fifty-two inhabitants, and covered four thousand acres, had reached, in 1860, well-nigh fifty thousand citizens, and had spread their public and private structures to nearly the extreme corporation limits From the river, east and west. a mile each way, the streets were lined com- pactly with structures, public, business, and dwelling, all indicative of sul sense, generous spirit, prosperous business, and architectural taste. From north to south, the distance of four to tive miles, building was not so dense, and at the outskirts was yet sparse. Soil, water-power. canal, and luke unitedly had attract 4| labor and capital, and rendered both productive. Railroads were of incidental benefit, and the city gave them so much of trade that her material injury would prejudice their interests. On the old mill-lot, now the most valuable portion "i the city, lots twenty by one hundred feet sold for twenty thousand dollars. The assessed valuation was numbered by millions of dollars, and its real value was triple the assessment. The farm of Enos Stone, bought by Elisha John-en in 1817, had risen in value till its estimate was made in millions. The Frankfurt tract, lying north of the Central Railroad, was entirely built over, while the Andrews and Atwater tract, slowly developing. finally settled with a rapidity equ.il to any other locality.
The bridges, from 1827 till 1860, are worthy of brief attention. The middle: bridge of 1827 was replaced by the Main street bridge, which was rebuilt several times, and the last time. in 1856-57. of cut stone, at a cost exceeding sisty thonsami dollars. The old IS12 bridge became insecure, and was removed. In ISI? a toll-bridge was constructed between the fills and the Andrews street bridge. In Messrs. Andrews, Atwater, and Mumford. This structure was in use but a few years. A bridge was erveted in 1826, at Court street. Following the construc- tion and fall of Carthage bridge two others were subsequently built across the river, near the lower falls, one of which stood as late as 1835; and, in 1856, the city erceted a suspension bridge on the Carthage site. Within less than a y. if from the time it was begun it Kell, and bridge-building in the north part of the city ceased for a time. Andrews street bridge was first built about 183G. .... was rebuilt in 1957. of iron, at a most of twelve thousand dollar. Clarissa thet bridge, in the south part of the city, created in 1941-42, was of inferior character Court street bridge was completed in 1-as, at a cost of twelve thousand dollar.

on Aqueduct street. The Strong mill. at Carth age. wa's burned al out 1834, after standing thirty-six years, Cleveland's mill, "f 1819. still stood as the " Genesce falls mill," as did the Whitney mill. of 1826.
Abelard Reynolds, the original landlord on the west side, had been succeeded by well-nigh two hundred inn-keepers up to 1969.
The first house for public wor-hip first served the Presbyterians, then the First Baptist society, from 1824 tu 1/36, and liter. while in use as a carriage-factory, was destroyed by fire. Church societies, branching out, erected large and hand- some stone edifices, which were torn down at Iter periods to be replaced by others still more costly. One after another beautiful and comundious edifices were raised, until the citizen saw with pleasure a city containing well-uigh forty churches, wany of which were costly, elegant, and solidd.
Educational progress had kept pace with all other. An excellent university had been founded, a half-dozen academic- had been built, seminaries and private schools were numerous. and a public school system inaugurated at a cost in build- ings of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. and of annual cost of maintenance of over sixty thousand dollars. There were eighteen public schools, most of them in fine buildings, some involving an ontlay of over ten thousand dollars.
Benevolent associations grew strong; others sprang up, and, as their fickl widened, ability increased and usefulurss angmented. Hospitals, asylums, charity schools, and other humanitarian agencies were originated, and supported with a liberality in accord with the benevolence of the people and the progress of the city.
.
The press kept pace with other eductive agencies. Some publications gave up the race after brief existence on the course: others prospered, grew strung, and enduring. Of the press existing in 1827. but one survived under the original title,-the Daily Advertiser. The publications of Rochester in 1860 were two or three mouthlies, five wecklies. a tri-weekly. a semi-weekly, and three dailics. Their aggregate circulation was greater than that of any other city in the State, outside of New York. Moore's Rural New Fonker had a circulation of near fifty thousand copies. The Daily Union and Ideertiser issued four to five thousand copies in a day, and the daily issues of the press of Rochester were above ten thousand.
A single bank was noted in 1927, while in 1860 there were eleven. whose aggregate capital would fall little short of three millions. In occupation, the population varied in number with the decay of one industry and the origin of others. Of the professions. there were near sixty clergymen. one hundred physi- cians, and two hundred lawyers. The old aqueduet long since had pissed away. and another, built about 1845. at a cost of six hundred thousand dollars. had taken its place. The court-house of 1822 had given place to one in 1850. whose cust was over seventy thousand dollars. The ohl jail had passed from memory, and a new jail, erected since 1830. had itself become old. The market building, to cost three thousand dollars, " built upon the plan of the new market in Boston," was being constructed in 1827, and was an object of satisfaction. It stood on the corner of Main and Front streets, and about 1835 fell into the river. Its successor has recently given place to yet a third.
The travel of the carlier day had changed Ir had become more rapid and more cheap. Stages were few, and reminders of the past ; boats conveyed freight, and the packet was no more seen. In place of one steamer a week upon the lake, there were three per day. No less than sixty trains of cars arrived and departed daily, and upon some of these it was not infrequent to carry five hundred pas- sengers. The statistics of trade and manufacture showed proportionate unin, and . in enterprise, however considered, the population had nobly built upon the foun- dation laid in hope in former years.
Politics and statesmanship had in Rochester active and influential representa- tives. Here John Quincy Adams received his first nomination to the presidency. Hon. Addison Gardiner and Hon. Henry R. Selden had presided over the senate as lieutenant-governors. Thomas B. Cumming, acting governor of Nebraska nt one time, was a native uf Rochester ; and so was llon. David K. Carter, member of Congress from Ohio Hon. D. D. Barnard, once United States minister to Prussia, long resided here, as did Hon. John Covode, member of Congress from Pennsylvania in 1860. Of clerks in the State enate were Samuel G. Andrews, Isaac R. Elwood, and Samuel P Allen. L. Ward Smith. native of this city, was adjutant-general of the State in 1sal-32; and Thurlow Weed, Esq., began his career here about 1827 as e-litor of the Rochester Telegraph.
Of patents, there heid been one hundred and fifty taken ont hy citizens of Rochester. Of three, five were for mai-ing canal-boats, four for rutary steam- engines, thirty-three for smut machines, four for threshing machines, and two for railroad car-wheels. Among those of importance were . Bush & Snow's engine governor, Jackson's Juntei-bell indicator. atd the Ericsson proga-lling-when I, orig- iually patented by Benjamin M. Smith. Of fine arts, Henry Bin-sell, the distin- guished vocalist and ball! composer. Charch, the landscape painter, and G. S. Gilbert, the portrait painter, were no ordinary representatives.
Of manufacture a synopsis must suffice for the present. Twenty-one flouring-mills contained one hundred and sixteen run of stone (exclusive of custom-mills), and by their employment sustained a population of full five thousand persons. Establish- ments for the manufacture of boots and shoes aggregated one thousand five hundred employers, and gave support to five thousand more of the population. Que firm sent out daily one thousandl pairs of boots and shoes. A dozen heavy firm- were engaged in the manufacture of garments. A single firm employed two hundred hands. D. R. Barton hegan the edge-tool business in 1834, and in 1860 bad in his establishment one hundred and fifty hands. In the workshops of Kidd & Co. one hundred persons were engaged in the manufacture of car-wheels, railroad and other castings, consuming four thousand tons of iron, and aggregating sales of three hundred thousand dollars per annum. There were three stove manufactories, -- French & Co., Bennett & Co., and De Witt & Galu-ha. The first employed sixty persons, worked up thirty tons of iron into two hutudred and fifty to three hundred stoves per week, and made yearly sales to the value of three hundred thousand dollars. Besides these were the iron railing and Covert bank lock work. of Martin Briggs, the scale works of Daryce & Forsyth, the paper-tills of Mr. Jones, and the steam-engine works of D. A. Woodbury & Co. On the suburbs . were four thousand acres of land given to the culture of tree. shrub, am fowrr. the annual sales of which ranged from seven hundred and fifty thousand to une million dollars.
Rochester had come to contain the largest fruit and ornamental nurseries in the world. The pioneers and pre-eminent firm in this department were Messrs. Ellwanger & Barry, and besides these were numerous others.
Thus briefly have we outlined the industries and energies of Rochester prior tu the civil war, wherein, as elsewhere shown, her Thirteenth regiment was one of the first to tread the streets of erst rebellious Baltimore.
ROCHESTER JN 1876.
Fifteen years have passed away, and the Flour City has known no cherk to her material prosperity. The old five ward, have been increased to sixteen. and the area now includes eleven thousand one hundred and sixty-one acres. The full cash value of real and personal estate in 1875 was over sixty millions of dollars. and the amount of tax assessed upon the city in 1876 is over one million dollars. For railroads, hridges, and streets. for buildings and water-works, for fire-engine-, soldiers' relief, and schools, there is a total debt of over five millions, mainly incurred in the construction of water-works. The population, by the census of 1870, gave sixty-two thousand three hundred and eighty-six persons. There were twelve thousand two hundred and thirteen families, and eleven thousand six hun- dred and forty-nine dwellings. Every trade, business, aud occupation is fully represented. Every agency calculated for convenience, security, and health in full operation. Good order is maintained by a police force numbering eighty-four meu. and scenes of riot have never marred the fame of the noble eity. Every precau- tion is taken to guard against fires. Four steamers are constantly ready for duty. and the department numbers one hundred and sixty-seven men. Many large establishments are provided with means to extinguish any fire breaking out in their buildings, and the citizens enjoy almost an immunity from destructive confla- grations. Of cemeteries there are five. Chief among these is that of Mount Hope. wherein rest the remains af twenty-seven thou-and persons in a spot beautiful by nature and embellished by art. F chester City and Saint Mary's Hospitals, West- ern House of Refuge, and House for Idle and Truant Children are among the publie charitable institutions. The city is well lighted with oil- and gas-lamps, the total number at present beine three thousand nine hundred and twenty-six. The number of churches has increased to sixty, and the number of public schools to twenty-three. The number of pupils registered in pablic schools is eleven thousand two hundred and thirteen. The average number belonging, seven thon- sand four hundred and forty-six. The number of children between five aml twenty-one in 1875, on the east side. was nineteen thon-and three hundred and seventeen ; west side, seventeen thousand two hundred and fitten ; total. thirty- six thousand five hundred and thirty-two. I'pon Prince street is located the Uni- versity of Rochester, and this city is the seat of the Rochester Theological Semi- nary. No more. as in early days, need complaint he made of highest grades of educational facilities wanting, for the intelligent populace have anticipated the wants of all classes. Conveyance by rail to ot from the city is finished hy tive lines : the New York Central and Hudson River, the Rochester and fleurser Valley. the Avon, Genesee and Mount Morris, the Rochester. Nanda and Pennsylvania. and the Roche-ter and State Line roads, while street-cars, trading along muain thoroughfare to promit nt points, make transportation to various parts of the city rapid, cheap, and secure. Five banks transat the financial businessof the city . the bank of Monroe, of Rochester, the City. the Commercial, the Flour t'ity Ni- tional, and the Traders' National. There are four savings banks. the list Side,

the Mechanics' of Rochester, the Monroe County, and the Rochester. A safe dej-rit company also exists. It was the saying of a citizen in 1860 that up to that period " Rochester had never seen the failure of one of her banks, and the conti lence of the people in the integrity of the bankers and the solidity of their wwwourve is unlimited." Within the city there exist one hundred and sixty-nine wwieties and associations, nineteen of which are Masonic, and eighteen of the Inde- JeD.leut Order of Odd Fellows.
Rochester is known as East and West side. The former has the greater popu- lation and largest number of handsome residences ; the latter the bulk of mann- facture, mercantile, and banking institutions. The city mauks fifth in size in the State, and twenty-second in order among the cities of the nation. Its area of ten and a half miles is laid out with admirable skill, the wide, clean streets give ample room for travel, while as they diverge outward they are intersected by many avenues honderd with ornamental and shade trees. At convenient points are small parks, annually growing more beautiful. These parks, eight in number, add much to the attraction of the city. Special points of interest are as follows : Powers Block, Monrue County Almshouse, Monroe County Court-House. City ILall, Monroe County Jail, Western House of Refuge, Rochester Orphan Asylum. the Gencsce Falls, the Aqueduct, the chain of old flouring-milis, Trevor Ilall, University of Rxhester, Saint Mary's Hospital, Rochester Theological Seminary. Rochester Public Schools, Saint Mary's, Saint Joseph's, and Saint Patrick's Asylums for Orphans, Episcopal Church Home, Home for the Frieodless, Monroe County In- wane Asylum, Rochester Industrial School, City Hospital, County Penitentiary, Arsenal, and Mount Hope Cemetery.
Having sbown in a general way Rochester's inception, rise, and progress, we wow propose to take up its leading institutions, churches, business interests, civil government, etc., and by following them through in detail from the outset to the present date, not only add a valuable reference to our work, but more perfectly illustrate the remarkable growth and changes in this city, which, in the lifetime of some of its citizens of to-day, changed from rock and swamp. forest and bramble, the bome of Indians and wild beasts, to a city of over eighty thousand inhabitants, proud in its wealth and prosperity. of its business palaces, temples of worship, luxurious houses, multiform industries and manufactories, a centre of trade and commerce, ennals and railroads, leading to every point of the compass. Pen can- uot, in brief, do the subject justice; it must be studied in detail that one may fully understand and appreciate the whole.
