E. of Cincinnati, 195 m. S. W. of Buffalo, and 135 E. N. E. of Columbus; Lat. 41° 31′ 7" N., and Lon. 81° 45′ 57′′ W. This fine city (the second in the State in size, wealth, and importance) is situated on a high bluff elevated some 80 ft. above the lake, has broad, rectangular streets, well shaded with trees (whence it is called the "Forest City"), several public squares, and a number of handsome public edifices. Among these are the U. S. buildings, the County CourtHouse, U. S. Marine Hospital, Charity Hospital, City Hall, the Music Hall, seating 5,000, and the Union R. R. depot; numerous churches of various demon i nations; a large number of excellent schools, colleges, literary and theatrical institutions, . In the center of the principal square adorning this city is a magnificent marble statue of Commodore Perry, the hero of Lake Erie. Wade Park, 63 acres in area, is situated on Euclid avenue, one of the finest streets in the U. S. Gordon Park, 120 acres, lies 2 m. N. on the lake shore, the two being connected by a wide boulevard. There are several handsome cemeteries, as the City, Lake View, Riverside, the Woodland, the Roman Catholic, . From the commanding position this city occupies on Lake Erie, it nece arily follows that it is a place of the highest commercial importance, both as a railroad center and as the entrepôt of a large trade with Canada. The great Ohio Canal, connecting with the Ohio river, has here its chief outlet; while several lines of railroad meet in C. Just beyond the city limits is the beautiful Lake View Cemetery, where, 250 feet above Lake Erie, stands the Garfield monument, built at a cost of $130,000, and 125 feet in height. Beneath repose the remains of the late President Garfield. The elevated plain on which C. stands is cut into two unequal divisions by the Cuyahoga river, which flows through bottom lands half a mile wide, known as "the flats." This depre ed section is traversed by railroad lines and occupied by railroad stations, repair and car shops, great lumber yards, coal and ship yards, iron foundries and various other industrial establishments. A score of bridges span the Cuyahoga and its valley, and it is cro ed by three great viaducts, one of them 3,931 feet long. The large and important traffic carried on between C. and Canada, and the regions about Lake Superior, employs a great steam fleet; while sailing-ve els of a light draught hold regular communication with Liverpool, Eng., via the lakes, Well and Canal, and the river St. Lawrence. C. is the entrepôt of the copper and iron ore brought from Lake Superior; and, on the other hand, forms the shipping port for the coal and agricul tural produce of the great State of Ohio, to Canada and foreign countries. The freight received and shipped by lake in 1890 amounted to 4,371,269 tons, including more than 2,000,000 tons of iron ore. About 500,000,000 feet of lumber are received annually.

In 1823 he entered Dart mouth Coll., and wrote The Moral Characters of Theophrastus, with a Translation and Critical Notes, and an Epitome of Grecian Antiquities, in 1827, both works having been published before he took his degree. His First Le ons in Latin upon a New Plan, and a work entitled The National Orator , appeared in 1828, and his edition of Xenophon's Anabasis, with English Notes , in 1830; in which year he was elected to the profe orship of the Latin and Greek Languages in Dick in son Coll.

In addition to other educational works, he published, Fig. 620.-SWEET PEPPER-BUSH. (C. alnifolia.) terests of this flourishing city consist in copper-smelt- ing, boiler-making, coal-oil distilling, manufacture of sewing-machines, . Malleable iron forms a very ex- tensive industry, while in the building of steel and iron ve els O. surpa es all lake ports. Lumber, wool, and salt provisions also form a prominent feature of its in- dustrial prosperity. The city is governed by a mayor and a city council, made up of a representative from each of the 20 districts formed from the 40 wards. It had a net debt on Jan. 1, 1897, of $5,393,453, while the a e ed valuation of taxable property was $134,565,905. C. was laid out in October, 1796, by a party of surveyors headed by Moses Cleveland, from whom it received its name. It grew slowly, and was not made a city till 1836. In 1854 Ohio City, on the W. side of the river, was united with C. Other annexations have since been made, C. being now about 32 sq. miles in area. It has of late years grown rapidly, and in 1890 had a popula- tion of 261,353. Estimated pop. Jan. 1, 1897, 370,000. -In Tenn ., a town, cap of Bradley co. Pop . (1897) 4,000.
