THE HOTEL WAS LOCATED oa the northwest corner of Lake and Dearborn treots, where the Commercial now stauds. It viag built in 1823, I think, and waos o threc-story framo building, about 80 foot loug and 70 feet wide.

The Tro- 1zont wns considered to bo the only first-class Lotel, Lut many thought the Mansion House was it4 equal in every partienlar. PRIMITIVE RATES OF BOARD. Board at the 'Uromont was $6 u week for tho Lost rooms, and nearly all the mon who after- ards became woalthy and distinguished in tho c.ty lived thore. Any unusual event ‘ot that time created great excitement. Uhe arrival of n boat wus un ocension of rejoicing, and whon one camo into the herbor the puople would furm into a lino and march to the bauks of the ereek and cheer tho Coptam. A MONTH'S TALK.

B THE FOUR TREMONTS. To the Fditor of The Chicago Tridune: B : In 1833 there was built upon the north- west cornor of Luke and Dearborn stroote an unpretending frame structure known as the Iromont Iouse, and tho following year Irn Couch becamo its proprictor. Iio found the Lionse 2 mero shell, without suy sidewsll aroind it, and but poorly furnishod, as none of the rooms woro outirely carpoted, littlo piccos in front of tho bed boing considered sufiicient for any one; and very many of the beds were minus ono pleasant luxury, a pillow. THE MUDDY DAYS, Around this corner, iu oarly epring-time, it wny impossible to drive the stago, and tho pas- songers had to wallt some two blocks; on ac- count of the marshy state of the ground, tho horses could not navigate; aud tho ladics wera vory willing to wonr their husbauds' boots in tliose days, whon thoy folt fonrful of losing their footing upon ground that seomed boltomless. TUE FIST FIRE, In tho fall of 183Y, tho U'remont House was firat consunied by fire, It bad been ronovstod nud ropaired whortly bofore, so that, for thosa days, when be was beginning lifo upon o new Lusig, Mr. Couchi's lows wag felt to ho quite a so- rious matter, especinlly s tho building wsa en- tivoly uninsured. 118 thon purchased tho ground whero tho ale- gant hotel now stauds, und erectod upon it, in 1841, Tremont Honso No. 2, Ineall theso offorts, from the first, Mr, Couch was nssisted by hig brother James, for they wora alwuys togother and holping one another, . Chis also wag » frame structnre, throo storios in Leight, and for thoso primitive days—bofore thoro was any communication with the outside world oxcopt by stonmbont and stage—tho Tre- mont Houso wns considerod Loo large, and its buildor fur shead of the times, THE SECOND FILE, Mr. Couch secmed to bo pussued by fire, as, in 1819, the populur hotel was again desiroyed. ‘Lho third ‘Lremont came to be known us a fixed faot early in 1850, It was corlninly an improve- mont upon its predecodvors, for It was built of brick, fivo stories high; and neain the peoplo thought Mr. Couch must bo ingnne to build such & palace, 80 thoy fumilintly dubbed it ** Conch's Tolly,"—predicting fallure to this man of energy and persaversnco. During thozo early days of building Mr. Couch (in company with his brother James) was upon the grouud curly aud Into watohing the building as 1t progronsed, until it was dnally cowmploted and roady to bo oponed, P THIRD TREMON Gay wns used in Chicago for tho flist time at tho uponiu‘,’ of the third “Fromouni House ; and, ny everything was in perfect Loeping, tho houso must hiave prosented & fing_appoarance, with ity Inrgo, airy rooms beautifully furnished, and hav- ing all the couvoniencos of thoss days. A Couch lived to sico this entorprise n porfect suc- cess, far beyoud his most seuguine oxpectutions, In its omrly daya tho notel was crowded to ity Jatmost capacity, sud it was soon far too umall, for tho incressing travel mado it ofton necessary to rosort to various methods in order to accom- molx};\tn thoge who eought sbelter within its walla, MAISING THE DUILDING, In the spriug o 1861 the Uremont Houeo was raleod up to grade.—wmoro thau's foot.

AL o given sigunl thoy would turn it halt ruund and stop, then go to the next one, und o on. This raised the building bodily, so thut not o pano of glaws way broken, and tho business of the hotel went on as usunl, Whou tho houso was raised, tho court in tho centro wuu onlurged und quite & numboy of rooms udded, and some radical and imporyunt changos wore mude—nildone under the direct wmanugemeout of Mr, James Couch, a8 the orig~ juul Luilder of tho Tromont hiad “passed swuy to his flual rest some fow yoears befora, .

THE LOSYT FOUND. For 'This My Son Was Dead and Is Alive Agnin. Ouo of thoso stranga staries which go to veri- fy the remark of William Shakspeare, sinco re- pented in several nowspapers, namoly, that truth iy strangor than fiction, has como undor notice during tho past weok, in Chicago. It soems that in tho yoar 1851 & coriain Mr. Garrison wan u vosident of tho thon limited suburb of Calumet, and hod tho misfortune to loso his wifa. Mr, Garrison was in poor circumstances ot tho timo, and tho cbild, being deprived of matornal care, wag, of course, of rdditional anxioty to his al- rondy hoavy load of trouble. o finally detormined, however, that he would lonve Chicago, and for safoty, until such o timons clrcumstances would allow him to reclaim the infant, s littlo son was placed in tho County Iospital in tius oity. The babe did not flourish uudor the now dispensation, and, through the agency of charitably-inclined persons, waa finally removed to tho Orphan Asylum located on Michignn nvenue, noar ‘Twonty-second stroot. In the meantime the fathor proceeded to Iowa, aud, after stome adventures, sotiled down to the labor of cultivating o farm in the neighborhiood of Wobstor City. In this ocoupation his fortunes improved, aud aftor somo time, having arranged for its suitablo care ond educntlon, ho sont to this city to recov- or tho dosorted uhlld, but from some neglect on the part of tho authorities to keop s propor rec- ord of the circumatanco of its removal it could not be found, and the messenger roturnod to the now nuxious father with the nows that the child had beou takon away aud could not bo traced to its now home. Upon learning thia fact tho fath- cor himsolf camo to Chicago in search of the lost heir, but following strictly the regulations Inid down in all woll-regulated novels the matron to whom ho had ontrusted tbe little one had disap- ponred and could not be found, neither could nows as to what disposition haa been made of the bnbe be loarned by the inquiry and search of others. After somo woeks of unavailing offort the sorrowing porent rolurned to his neglocted grange—thon called o farm—and sought for- gotfuluess by an oaruest devotion to the o courngement of cerenls. o took down the ag- ricultural implements, scrapod tho fortilo sorl therewith until it laughed with many an amplo harvest, and, in tho courso of timo, although ho could neither find nor forgev tho lost ono by theso offorts, o amassed considerable wealth, nud came finally to bo looked upon as ono of the reapectablo and well-to-do residents of tha vi- cinity,—n man of weight and importance iu tho community, pointed fo as au example for tho rising goneration, and relied upon by the neigh-~ bors in all thowo questions of local import to which bucolic rogions aro subject. e did not forgat his child in oll thowo years, however, but whonover occasion called him the groat motropolis of tho Wost, was un- {iring in his inquiries and efforts to find the lost cbild. Bovoral yoars ngo, findmg thai it wasg not good to be alone, ho married again, aud his life sinco then in the companionship of a loyed wife has boon full of honors and poace. It this wore a full-fladgod fiction iustead of n truo tale, wo would now revert to to tho caveer of the desorted boy, aud linger with thrilling in- Lerest ovor the story of his school deys, and his gradual growth toward, and fingl assumption of, manhood’s gifts, Space cannot be given to this somewhat absorbing tople, and it will be sufli- cieut for our purpose to state that ho took to tho Lottlo furninhod by the good Sistor with a kindly intorest, nbsorbed its contents with much salis- faction to his nppetite and visible improvemont to his frame, donnod tho blue chock apron with childish protost, bad Lis carcs and sorrows, tri- umphu and joys, bumped his nose and toes, cut his fingors and his oyo teoth n courso of time, and flually had the good fortune to attract tho attontion and intercst of a lady of this city who mndo application to the Sistors for his pos- sossion, promising to rear him in a becoming uanner, giviug biun eduecation and the advan- tuges of good sooiety, which trust it may now be eaid eho has faithtully carried out, und the young gontloman whose name is Muartin Garrigon, is now o respected clork in tho omploy af the Mothodist Book Concorn, and boarding at the Ogden House in this city. But_the sequel proves that the years that have pasded by hiave not robbed the Fathor of his nat- ural yearning uftor the child whom ho had Inid in it cradlo and left bohind him some twenty- thrao yonzs ago. It may bo that this thought wis somothing of a reproach to him, and nigoed Lim to unusual endecyors oven undor such cir- oumstaucos, but cortain it is from year to year Lie hay wont or come to Chicayro, and wandored, Itke Francisco, who muny yoars pust lost his Ginovra in son-grivt Vonico, and from early youtl: {o white-hairod uge sought her in” vain. Bo lio has eought for tha eldost inheritor of Lis name and, more fortunate than the anclent Vene- tian bridogroon, his offorts have finally boen crowned with succoss, It wos brought about in thiswiso: A fow woolis ago, boing touched with the thonght of the hard times that are prevailing, the imuge of Lin boy sufforivg from possiblo want and priva- tion arose bofore Lim, and he resolved to make ouo 1noru trial for his reclumation, A simple oxpediont aceurred to him for tho fivat time, &{u did not know what name lind beon given by the sponsors o tho desertod babe, byt ho resolved to take tho City Directory, and, seleoting thore- from all thosoof the numo of Garrison, io sook each respectively, with the hope of flnding among them tho young man who would eall Lim fathor. His flest en~ gny iu this direction ~ rowarded his discernment, and only lust weele the young man was given tho tiret intolligent look at his ramain- ing paront and told the hithorto mynterious story of his Dbirth and subsequent dosertion, ‘Tho meoting, of courso, was a moss happy one. ‘I'he old mnn, proud of lus manly son, who, it can bo satd, isn worthy and exomplacy immlg f follow, & wmomber of ‘tha Lrimty Moethodiss Oburch, was overjoyed at tho succoss of his woarch, whilo the youth himself, proud snd hap- py to loarn that he had a fathor among the liv- jug, und, moroover, oue whom ho can rospoct and rovoro, formed s singularly strauge couple, exemplifying in & remarkablo way she strange- nous of 1ifo's incidents and the power of that nftcotion which, strotching over tho lapse of yenrs, finds itsolf still inwtinet with power to unitein g bond of filial love, —_— A Gossip's Punishment.
