\ The Cincinnati Astronomical Society, was organized by the ^ adoption of a constitution and the election of officers on the 23d \ of May, 1842. Its formation was the result of a plan proposed \ to the citizens by Prof. 0. M. Mitchell, at the close of a course ^ of lectures on Astronomy which he gave in the spring of that { year. The members of the society consist of those who have s subscribed to itsstoclc, the cost of a share being twenty-five dol- < lars. In less than a month, about seven thousand dollars in stock .] \ were subscribed. The whole numberof shares that have been

( At a meeting of the society held in November, the Board of i Control were directed to procure an Equatorial Telescope of the ( best character. Prof. Mitchell was sent to Europe to examine \ the instruments of the best manufactures. On his return, the 'l Board, on hearing the result of his investigations, made an ar- l rangement with Messrs. Mertz & Mahler of JMunich, for an in- { strument to cost nine thousand dollars. There are few instru- ments in use whose power is equal to this. It is to be completed and forwarded to Cincinnati early in the summer of 1844.

N. Longworth, Esq., has donated to the society a tract of four acres of land on one of the principal hills east of the city, since named, by the society, Mount Adams. A better site could not have been desired. It commands a good horizon and an exten- sive prospect in every direction, and the scenery is beautiful. The corner stone of the Observatory was laid by John Quincy poration has been obtained from the Ohio Legislature. The bill is favorable, in a high degree, to the operations of the society.

It exempts (he tract af grouad given by Mr. Longworth, the Observatory buildings, and the instruments which may be em- ployed in the Observatory, from all taxation; it provides also that the ground and instruments shall never be made liable for any debt which may be contracted by the Board or the society; that they shall never be diverted from their original objects. - This charter was accepted by the society, March 20th, 1S44. At the same meeting, a new constitution was adopted under the charter. Officers and directors are to be elected annually. The Board are not to contract debts beyond the means of the society to pay promptly with money on hand, or debts whose payment may with certainty be relied on. The Board are to elect the Director of the Observatory, who is to conduct the observations, and is to give annually a course of lectures on Astronomical sub- jects. The members of the society and their families are enti- tled to the privileges of the Observatory. Arrangements are to be made by the Board, for the admission of others than mem- bers to the same privileges.

The officers of the society, at present, consist oi

This Institution, the first of the kind in the United States,

< Curtis. In 1837, he applied to the Legislature for a charter,

< by the consent of the Legislature, to this city, where it is now \ located in the spacious building on 3d Street, east of Broadway, \ erected by the celebrated Mrs. Tiollope, and called the Bazaar.

This edifice has been so fitted up that it aflbrds excellent accom- modations to a!! departments of the institution.

There are delivered daily in the college, five and sometimes six lectures, on Anatomy, Physiolog)-, Surgery, Theory, and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, Materia J\Jedica and Pharma- ^ cy, Chemistry, Botany, &c., &c. The course of studies is very ) extensive, and the examinations are daily and thorough. It is ^ well provided with maps, charts, diagrams, &c., and other means ( of illustration, among which is the wonderful and no less useful , Manikin, perhaps ttie only one in the western country. "^ The Professors of this institution, reject the Lancet, blisters ^ and poisons, and every means and mode of directly reducing the ( vital energies of the system for the cure of disease; and they ^ recommend and practice the use of those means and processes <; - and those only which are calculated to aid the conservative \ power of the system to maintain its full dominion over the

\ The advantages for the study of Anatomy are not surpassed { by those of any school in the west. Surgery is abriged by the i successful medication of most cases. I\Jany inij)ortant opera- \ tions are performed on the living subject, and the whole theory

< and practice are carefully taught, and illustrated on the cadaver. ( Physiology is illustrnted with the ??fanikin, the most wonderful ; exhibition of art - a;; instrument by the aid of which an amount (' of knowledge that ii once required years to obtain, can be com- ) municated in as maiiv weeks. Patliology, diagnosis, and ther- ^ apeutics, will be illustrated abundantly in the college where, ^ hereafter, the practice will be constantly exhibited. The prin- '[ cipal articles of the Materia Medica, both crude and prepared, ; will be exhibited so constantly, as to enable the student to be- ^' come acquainted with the instruments he is to use in his profes- ^ sion. The chemical apparatus, the botanic garden, and a great

< variety of maps, diagiams, paintings, &c., complete the means ; of illustration.

/ This Institution originated in the enlightened benevolence of I ( William Woodward, one of the early settlers of this city. <; ; His first grant of land for its endowment was made on the 1st ( y of November, 1826, to Samuel Lewis and Osmond Cogswell, ^ ^ as perpetual trustees. The site of the College Buildings was a i^

subsequent donation, by the same gentlemen. It was first char- ( N tered as ''The Woodward Free Grammar School,'' which title ( \ was afterwards changerl to that of the Woodward High School. <; s In the winter of 1835-6, the Legislature conferred collegiate ^ \ powers on the Trustees, under the title of "The Woodward { < College of Cincinnati." \

( pupils in attendance during each year has varied from 150 to ^

? 230. Of the present number at the Institution, about one-sixth S

^ belong to the regular College Classes, The majority of the ^

^ students, however, are engaged either in the study of Languages ^

^ or Mathematics. The course of instruction and study is not \

inferior to that of any Collegiate Institution in the West - in- s

deed it is superior to most of them. The endowment of the <

There is no spot in the Ohio country, about which a more intense historical interest may be thrown, than the city of

The capture of the Virginia garrison in 1754- - the neighbor- ing defeat of Braddock in '55, and the horrible details of the fate of the prisoners who fell into the hands of the French and In- dians - the slaughter of 300 men on Grant's Hill in '58 - the arrival of Gen. Forbes - the contest between Virginia and Penn- sylvania with respect to boundary - Indian councils and treaties - early dangers and personal exploits of the whites - how many pages of thrilling story might be written!

A general statement of these transactions will be seen in our historical summary, which precedes the body of the Directory. A full history of the events of which this little valley has been the scene, and those hills the witnesses, would constitute a Volume of thrilling interest. Take the relation oi James Smith, a guide to Braddock, taken prisoner early in the march. On the day of the surprise at the ford of the Monongahela, " about dusk the party returned to the Fort, driving before them twelve British regulars, stripped naked, and their faces painted black, an evidence that the unhappy wretches were devoted to death. Next came the Indians, displaying their bloody scalps, of which they had immense num- bers, diessed in the scarlet coats, sashes, and military hats of the officers and soldiers. Behind all came a train of baggage horses laden with piles of scalps, canteens, and all the accoutrements of British soldiers. The savages, frantic with joy, entered the Fort, dancing, yelling, brandishing their red tomallawks and waving their scalps in the air, while the great guns of the Fort replied to the incessant discharges of rifles from without. The yells of de- light and congratulation were scarcely over, when those of ven-

geance began. The prisoners were led out to the banks of the Allegheny, and, to the eternal disgrace of the French com- mandant, were burnt to death, one after another, with the most awful tortures. Each prisoner was tied to a stake, with his hands raised above his head, stripped naked, and surrounded by Indians; they would touch him with red hot irons, stick his body full of pine splinters, and set them on fire, drowning the shrieks of the victim in yells of delight, as they danced around him. His companions, in the mean time standing in a group near the stake, had a foretaste of what was in reserve for them.'^

The picketing which Ensign Ward commenced in the spring of 1754, was on the bank of the Monongahela, about half a square above Liberty street. The French demolished this embryo fort, and constructed Fort Du Quesne, directly at that point, arming it with 18 pieces of cannon.

In 1759, the English General Stauri caused a more extensive work to be laid out, which was completed in 1767, occupying about seven acres at the point, being four or five times larger than Fort Du Quesne. This was called Fort Pitt, a work in its strength approaching the character of a permanent fortification.

The only remains of that era, are a stone magazine of two stories, built by Col. Boquet outside the ditch of the Fort. It stands near Brewery Alley, about fifty feet west of Point street. In 17S5, it was nearly surrounded by additions, to render it a residence for citizens, causing the pile to represent at one view the change from military to civil occupation. Accounts differ materially in the number of settlers who established themselves at Fort Pitt, under the English and colonial rule, prior to the Revolution. Mr. Isaac Craig, born in Boquet's Magazine, or which would contain 180 to 200 persons.

Others place the number of citizens at 200, in 1760, which does not seem probable, unless the transient Indian traders were

The heirs of William Penn being tories, their property was confiscated by the State of Pennsylvania. Such parts as were not received by demise, descent, or purchase, and such tracts as were not sold or surveyed before the day of our national birth, were vested in the State or colony of Pennsylvania. But 5800

acres at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela, had been surveyed, and the Penns^ retained the site of a future com- mercial metropolis.

and the Pittsburgh Gazette was established. On the 9th of Jan- ^lary, 1796, there were 1395 inhabitants, by official enumeration, A mail to Philadelphia had been provided in September, 1786. which met a Virginia mail at Bedford. It was incorporated as a

The Indian wars were ended in 1794, and the citizens, already sensible that it was their policy to become manufacturers, pursued their plans with vigor. At first, the freight on goods from Balti- more, was 45 shillings per hundred; and they predicted that no improvement of transportation could bring heavy articles in con> petition with their shops. In com.merce, Mayndrd <§- Morrison carried on a traffic with the Illinois Indians, and Tarascon <§' Co, established an extensive shipyard there. In 1801, the schooner Amity, of 120 tons, was launched, and the Pittsburgh of 200; one destined for St. Thomas, the other for Philadelphia. In 1802, the the Western Trader, ^of 400; all of which found their way to the ocean and sailed over many seas.

But the substantial prosperity of the place, then as now, lay in the arm of the mechanic.

A statement made in 1807 proves, that there were thenybwr nail factories worked by hand, (no engines then,) one air furnace, and one glass house; 50 stores, 707 houses, and 4740 inhabitants.

In 1813, 958 houses, which at the average of the other enumer- ations, would give 5,748 people. We now pass to the days of steam engines.

In 1817, the glass houses had increased to 5, air furnaces to 4, steam engines manufactured 400 tons of nails. Fulton had crossed the mountains in 1811, and built the steamer "Orleans," of 400 tons, and seven or eight boats had already made their appearance. In March of 1817, the Washington steamboat of 400 tons, made a trip from Louisville to New Orleans and back in 45 days, which satisfied the citizens of the river country of a great fact, which

they had dared not admit, viz. that steam could contend suceess-- fuUy with the current of the western waters. Capt. H. M. Shreve had made an experimental trip from New Orleans to Shipping- port in 1S15, in one of D. French's boats, called the Enterprise, of forty-five tons. The run was made in 25 days, and, althougb the citizens- of Lotaisville gave Capt. S. a public dinner, to compli- ment the builder and himself, and to mark the event, it did not do away with the fears and prejudices of the trading community.

Turn now to 184Q. Population 21,116, without sjuburbs. Re- tail stores 408, with a capital of ^4,465,790. Commission houses furnaces, which, with the bloomeries employ 658 bands.

To this should be added the value of shipping con- structed during the same time.

With the naval constructions of the days of Tarascon, Fulton and French, we can contrast the number of boats built in 1843,

To the year 1835 this place had taken the lead in steam-boat building, having turned out 173, and for that year 25.
