On the night of December 16, 1835, New York City was visited by the most

acres of ground. The value of the property lost was $20,000,000.

The population of the United States in 1830 was 12,866,020, and the
postoffices, which in 1790 numbered only 75, had grown to 8,450. The
sales of the western lands had increased from $100,000 to $25,000,000 a
year, a fact which explains the rapid extinguishment of the public debt.
