Mr. John Calhouu having nil that (lay. 1833. issued the flrac number of the Ctiicdgo Dcnvr- craft which was the pioneer of N'oriii- ern Illinois In this liue. It was a great undertaking iu those days When Chica­ go was a village of about five hundred inhabitants. Auiong other things U Is astonishing Io notice what jijrOgrcss Chicago has made In newspapers and publications, devoted to almost every conceivnbl*» object. Tliero are 224 ot'alt kinds. Of • bests fourteen are dailies atid 116 Weeklies. The religious press Is re pre sented by Baptist Congregationalist. Episcopalian, Prepbyterfan, MeihodiS', Free Methodist, Universalis!, Catholic.

We are told there are about lour hundred printing offices in the ciiy. which shows that a vast amount of oBiscel* latieous wortc Is done here. John Wentworth followed the last speaker In an entertaining address ou reminiscences connected with the church and incid«y)is growing opt of its history. Mr. Wentworth spoke at some length. "Arriving at Chicago,'* said lie,"on the foreruooii of Oct. 23.1836,1 attended ihe First Baptist Church, ttn der the direction of my landlady on the next Sunday, which was Oct. 90. 1 was so well pleased with the sermon, which was from the text. "One Lord, One Faith. One Baptism.*' that I attended again in the afternoon ;.ind 1 was again so well pie«s*d that I attended again in the evening. My landlord was a Catholic Irishman by the name of John Murphy,afterward a prominent man In tlds city, and for several years a n em b*-r of our Board of Aldermen. He had married a Connecticut, young lady be* longing to the Baptist Church tiiera, This lady i<tili lives, and, I rejol. e to say, in good health, and continues an ardent Baptist, and she always has a welcome scat for me in tho Second Baptist Church. The hotel had been ki.owo as the Sauganash Hotel, but its name had recently been changed to that of the Uuited Sta«es Hotel. This change of name was made when a frame addition was made to ihe old log hotel, formerly built by Mark Beaubien. at ths corner of Lake and Market streets It is now best known as the wigwam lot,,or tho piuce where Abraham Lin­ coln was nominated for President. Passing down Lake street to Franklin thero was pointed out to nie. between Lake and Water streets, tlie first Bap­ tist Chureh erected iu Ihe city. Near the same sireet. on Lake, was also nee or its founded, street near the river was where the Post office was when I came to the city. When the stage driver's horn would blow to notify tlie people of the join­ ing of the mail, there would be a gen­ eral gathering of the people around the 1'os to Moo waiting its opening The people thus gathered wouid discuss matters gene-ally and tell stories of •arly i lines Dr. Temple's school teach­ er, Miss SalMe Warren, of Wnrrenville, In flu Page County, afterward the wife of Deacon Abel E. Carpenter, the brother of our respected old settler. Plillo Carpenter,st ill lives lu the mem ory of those early days.
