ned to attempt to divert it. He was too late, for the fort was abandoned when he arrived. His cowardly Miamis fled at the first onset of the Pottawatomies, and he was crushed by overwhelming numbers. The fort was re-established in 1816, and was occupied until 1837. The last vestige of it—a block-house—was demolished in 1856. A town was laid out near the fort in 1830, which embraced threeeighths of a square mile. In 1831 it comprised twelve families, besides the little garrison of Fort Dearborn. The town was organized in 1833, with five trustees, when it contained 550 inhabitants. It was incorporated a city March 4, 1837, when it contained a population of 4,170. Its growth has since been marvellous. A great fire occurred Oct. 9 and 10, 1871, by which the city was almost destroyed. More than $200,000,000 worth of property was consumed, and 100,000 people were made homeless. This, however, seemed not in the least to check its wonderful progress. See Columbian Exposit

Men clasped each other's hands, and said: ‘The City of the West is dead!’ Brave hearts who fought, in slow retreat, The fiends of fire from street to street, Turned, powerless, to the blinding glare, The dumb defiance of despair. A sudden impulse thrilled each wire Tha
