 PATENTS for Tempering Steel without the aid of any liquids, received the only award 
 at the Qreat National Implement Trial, held at Auburn, in 1886. They possess the fol- 
 lowing superior qualities : ^ 
 
 1. They are made with a fine Cutlery Temper at the edges. 
 
 8. They hold only a Spring Temper at the center and at the beel. / 
 
 3. They are warranted perfectly uniform, every knife being exactly alike in temper. 
 
 4. We warrant they can be ground from 8 to 10 times without losing their cutting 
 edge. 
 
 6. Finally, we will warrant them to cut from 40 to 50 acres of grain or grass without 
 being once ground.

 In presenting the initial number of the " Gazetteer and Directory 
 of Cortland County " to the public, the publisher desires to- 
 return his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly assisted 
 in obtaining the valuable information which it contains, and with- 
 out whose aid it would have been impossible to collect, in the brief 
 space of time in which it is essential that all such works should be 
 completed. Especially are our thanks due to the several editors oi 
 the Cortland Go. Republican, Cortland County Standard, Cortland 
 County Democrat, Gazette and Banner, arid the Marathon News, for 
 the uniform kindness which has been evinced in calling public atten- 
 tion to the author's efforts; and to them and the following persons, 
 Hon. Horatio Ballard, Hon. Chas. Foster, and Hon. H. S. Ran- 
 dall, and Frank Place, Esq., Co. Clerk, of Cortlandville ; Daniel 
 E. Whitmore, of Marathon ; and Shubal Carver, of Homer, school 
 commissioners of the County, for essential aid- in furnishing material 
 for the work. Many, others have kindly volunteered their aid, to 
 all of whom we return sincere thanks. 
 
 The following works were consulted in its preparation : "Good- 
 win's Pioneer History of Cortland Co. ; " " French's Gazetteer 
 of the State of New York ; " " Documentary History of New 
 York ; " " Hotchkin's History of the Presbyterian Church in Wes- 
 tern New York ;" " Census Reports of 1865 ;" and " Proceedings 
 of the Board of Supervisors in 1867." 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 That errors may have occurred in so great a number of names 
 and dates as are here given, is probable, and that names have been 
 omitted that should have been inserted is quite certain. We can 
 only say that we have exercised more than ordinary diligence and 
 care in this difficult and complicated feature of book-making. 'J'o 
 such as feel aggrieved in consequence of error or omission, we beg 
 pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in marking such as 
 had been observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs, and 
 which are noted in the Errata, following the Introduction. 
 
 It is also suggested that our patrons observe and become familiar 
 with the explanations at the commencement of the Directory. 
 
 The Map of the County was engraved with great care by 
 Messrs. "Weed, Parsons & Co.," of Albany, and, it is believed, will 
 prove a valuable acquisition to the work. 
 
 The Advertisers represent some of the leading business men 
 and firms of the County, and also many enterprising and reliable 
 dealers in other parts of the State. We most cheerfully commend 
 them all to the patronage of those under whose observation these 
 pages may come. 
 
 With thanks to friends generally, we leave our work to secure 
 the ftvor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating 
 Ijij-ii.pss public.

 The Cortland County Stan- 
 dard; published by F. G. Kinney, at Cort- 
 land. Village, is one of the largest and beet 
 condacteo papers in the County. In its 
 columns one may always find something 
 to please and instruct. Its local corres- 
 pondents in different parts of the County 
 constitute an important feature, and one 
 that is highly appreciated by all its readers. 
 We take pleasure in calling the attention 
 of our patrons to this paper, believing that 
 by so doing, we are d()ing them a favor as 
 , well a& the publisher. See card un page 14. 
 
 Henry I^oftle has recently opened 
 rooms at4\ South Salina St., Syracuse, for 
 the sale of all kinds of Human Hair Goods, 
 Perfumery, &c. His establishment is cer- 
 
 tainly the most elegant of its kind west of 
 New York City. Gentlemen and Ladies 
 should not fail to call and examine his 
 goods and rooms. He employs experienced 
 ■workmen in the mannfactnre of goods to 
 order. See card, page 140. 
 
 Clifton "W. Wiles, dealer in Dry 
 Goods, Dress Goods, Groceries, Hardware 
 &c., Freetown, N. Y., keeps a large stock 
 of all goods kept in a first class country 
 store, which he Is disposing of to his cus- 
 tomers at such rates as cannot fail to suit 
 the purchaser. Farmers can bring all sorts 
 of produce to him and receive the cash or 
 its value in any of the necessaries of life 
 from his store. Give Jiim a call. His card 
 appears on page 114. 
 
 fi' Hermon Smltb, Book and Job Printer, No. 4 West Fayette Street, (un 
 sjairs,) Syracuse, prints a neat and attractive advertisement facing Da<»es 84-5 Mr 
 Smith 18 a young man of great energy, a thorough mechanic and bred to the printing 
 ba«iness. His office is entirely new, was selected by himself with the special purpose 
 of making It A. No. 1," ip every particular. Mr. Smith's rooms are large and com- 
 modious : his presses are driven by steam power, and everything about his bfice denotes 
 thrift and enterprise. Being naturally a neat and tasty printer Wmself, he employs only 
 first class workmen, vpho having the materials, get up tip-top jobs every time

 ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 
 
 Postal Rates and Regulatioas.— The new Postal Convention with the 
 United Kingdom, which went inio operation on January 1, 1809, eBtablishes the follow- 
 -inw rates ofinternational postage ; 
 
 1. Letters twelve cents per single rate of fifteen grammes, one-half ounce, in the 
 United States, and six pence (twelve cents), in the United Kingdom; pre-payment 
 optional. A fine of five cents in the United States, and two pence (four cents) in the 
 United Kiogdoi^., is, however, to be levied and collected, in addition to the deficient 
 postage, on each unpaid or insufficiently pre-paid letter received by one country from 
 the other. 
 
 2. Newspapers, two cents each in the United States, and one penny each In the 
 United Kingdom, if not exceeding four ounces in weight. 
 
 3. Book packets, including printed papers of all kinds, and patterns or samples of 
 merchandise, including seeds and grain, when not exceeding one ounce in wi-ight, two 
 cents in the United States, and one penny in the United Kingdom; when exceeding 
 one ounce, and not exceeding two ounces in weight, four cents in the United States, 
 and two pence in the United Kingdom ; when exceeding two ounces, and not exceed- 
 ing four ounces In weight, six cents in the United St-ates, and three pence in the United 
 Kingdom; and when exceeding four ounces in weight, an additional rate of six cents 
 in the United States, and three pence in the United JKingd'om, will be charged for every 
 additional four ounces, or fraction thereof. The postage chargeable as above upon all 
 articles of printed matter, including patterns or samples of merchandise, must be fully 
 prepaid at the mailing office in either country, and is in full to destination, the receiving 
 country delivering the same in all cases without any charge whatever. 
 
 After the 1st or January 1869, the registry fee for letters in the United States will be 
 16 cents, instead of 20 cents as heretofore. 
 
 County.— THE CORTLAND DEMOCRAT was started in 1845 by Seth Haight. It 
 subsequently passed into the hands of H. G. Crouch. In 1856 it passed into the hands 
 of E. P. Gould, and was published by him for two years as the Cortland American. In 
 1857 it was purchased by C. P. Cole, and issued under the uame of the Cortland Gazette. 
 In 1861 Mr. Cole went over to the Republican party, and gave it his support. In lb64 
 the Demoi^at was revived and pubhshed byH. Q. Crouch and M. P. Calender. Mr. 
 Crouch subsectuently sold his interest to C. A. Rohler, who soon after purchased the 
 interest of Mr. Calender. In 1865 L. S. Crandall purchased an interest in the Democrat^ 
 and afterwards became sole proprietor. In 1868 the Democrat was purchased by Benton 
 B. Jones, who, on taking possession, enlarged the paper. Recently he has purchased a 
 new press and made a stiU further enlarg'ement. It is now one of the first-class pap rs, 
 and IS one of the beat advertising: meaiums in Central New York. The name of the 
 paper has been changed to THE CORTLAND COUNTY DEMOCRAT.— [H. C. Goodwin. 
 
 The publishers of the following papers have failed to furnish the necessary statistics 
 for a history of their several papers, probably on account of absence from acme, or a 
 press of other duties.

 EBBATA. 
 
 Cnyler.— In our sketch of this town, Muncey Hill is stated to be poorly adapted to 
 cultivation.- This is an error, as it contains several farms as good as any upon the up- 
 lands. One of them is owned by Arza Muncey, Esq., son of one of the first settlers, a<- 
 ter whom the hill was nam6d. 
 
 Keeney^i Settlement is a post village.

 JE. M. Van Hoesen & Brotber, 
 
 General Merchants, Preble, N. T., publish 
 a card on page 182. Messrs. Van Hoesen 
 keep a good assortment of all articles ne- 
 cessary for a first-class ccuntry store, and 
 he must be very fastidions who cannot find 
 something to his taste. Everything to 
 clothe a man from head to foot and to ftar- 
 nish his pantry can be found here and will 
 be sold at low prices. 
 
 Dodge & liord, manufacturers of 
 Melodeons and Reed Organs, at Ithaca, 
 N. Y., were formerly connected with Syra- 
 cuse manufactories. They have since 
 moved their business where lumber is 
 cheap, and expenses less than in the larger 
 cities, like New York, Boston, Albany or 
 Syracuse. The styles of their organs are 
 particularly their own, possesSng all 
 modern improvements, and some unknown 
 to other manufacturers. They have found 
 market for their instmments in every 
 county of the State, and in Northern Penn- 
 sylvania and New jersey, and have an in- 
 creasing trade with the West, in all of 
 which places they are brought into success- 
 ful competition with the first Eastern 
 manufacturers. They are both practical 
 men, and have secured workmen of long 
 experience and tried abilities. Situated 
 midway between the Erie and N. Y. C. 
 railroads, they can ship conveniently to all 
 parts of the country. See card? page 201.

 ry and Music, Cortland, N. Y,, advertises fa- 
 cing pages 100-1. This largo establishment 
 was started as a Book Store by Mr. Geo . 
 Apgar, Qct 1st, 1865. He was succeeded 
 Jan. Istj, 1868, by Mr. A. Mahan, who has 
 by his characteristic energy added largely 
 to the business of the concern. In addi- 
 tion to the large stock of Books, Statione- 
 ry, Paper Hangings, &e., kept on hand, Mr. 
 Mahan has a large and valuable stock of 
 Musical Instruments and geneial musical 
 merchandise. As he bnys largely and of 
 importers and manufacturers, dealers can 
 rely npon getting goods of him as low as at 
 any house in Central New York. Mr. M. 
 makes a specialty of fine goods suitable for 
 Holiday, Wedding and other Gilt% We 
 predict for him a prosperous business 
 career. 
 
 Allen Potter is prepared to do Plan- 
 ing, Matching, Wool Carding &c., at Blod- 
 fet's Mills. The old Carding Machine has 
 een remodeled and fitted up in good stylo, 
 and he is now prepared to execute all work 
 intrusted to his C4ro in the best manner. 
 The new Planing and Matching Machine 
 recently put intohis mill are just the things 
 wanted to make the establishment first 
 class, while hi5 Bracket Sawing cannot be 
 beat in these parts. Hoe handles and all 
 sorts of turned work kept constantly on 
 hand and for sale at low prices. See card,

 Mayden BrotHers^ proprietors of 
 .the Retail- Woolen Mills, at Port Byron, 
 have long been celebrated as being manu- 
 facturers of desirable and reliable goods. 
 The establishment was started in 1824 aa a 
 small custom mill. Since then the greatly 
 increased business has called for extensive 
 additions and improvements, which have 
 been made ; and to day their cloth is known 
 and worn in every county in the State and 
 every State in the -Union. They use only 
 the best qualities of wool, entirely free 
 from waste or shoddy, and employ only ex- 
 perienced and careful workmen who strive 
 to maintain the reputation their ^oods 
 have ever borne t'mong their retail' cus- 
 tomers. A few months since they opened 
 a store at No. 29 Warren street, Syracuse, 
 A*^here they keep full lines of ail goods of 
 their manufacture. Farmers, mechanics 
 and business men generally, canraakegood 
 bargains by calling at the store, where Mr.

 Gregg Iron Works, at Trumans-

 Plyer »fc Co., successors to James A, Clapp, 
 of Farmer Village, who established the 
 first manufactory of agricultural imple- 
 ments in the southern part of Seneca Co., 
 about the year 1647. Gregg, Plyer & Co. 
 removed to TrumansburgE in 1865. Dur- 
 ing thar year they erected a substantial and 
 commodious brick building in which to 
 conduct their rapidly increasing business. 
 It is a two story buildinff, 101 feet long and 
 90 feet wide. Located in the western part 
 of the village, it attracts the notice of all 
 coming*ijito town from that section. At 
 these works are manufactured the celebrat- 
 ed Iron Mower, patented by Daniel H. 
 Thayer, of Ludlowville, in Tompkins Co. 
 They are celebrated for their strength, sim- 
 plicity and durability. They also manu- 
 facture Sharp's Patent Wheel Horse Rake, 
 besides Threshing Machines, Clqyer Ma- 
 chines, and other agricultural implements. 
 In the various departments the Company 
 work up about 500 tons of cast and wrought 
 iron, and 200 tons of coal annually. 
 
 The works are admirably conducted.— 
 Only experienced and competent work- 
 men, (of whom, when in full operation, 
 there are about 55,) are employed, and the 
 farmer who purchases a machine of this 
 firm may rely on the investment's being a 
 good one. See card, page 202. 
 
 Burke^ Fitzsimons» Hone Sc 
 
 Co.* Importers, Jobbers and Eetailers of 
 Dry Goods, Fancy Goods and Woolens, No.

 on page 2. This House was established 
 in 1849, since which time its success has 
 been uninterrupted, each year increasing its 
 amount of bufiineBS. Their annual Bales 
 amount to the enormous sum of near 
 $1,500,000, their trade extending from the 
 Eastern portions of the State to the " Far 
 West." Occupying, as they do, fully 25,000 
 feet of flooring in actual business depart- 
 ments, every portion of which is crowded 
 with immense piles of goods from foreign 
 countries, as well as of domestic manufac- 
 ture, renders the facilities of this house for 
 jobbing equal to any in the country. The 
 firm are also proprietors of the "Genesfee 
 Falls Woolen Mills," where they manufac- 
 ture 100,000 yards of goods annually.

 vertises on page 188. We take pleasure in 
 calling the attention of our patrons to this

 ^reat variety of type and materials enables 
 the proprietorSj Truair & Smith, to execute 
 all kinds of plain and fancy work in a style 
 excelled by none. A large corps of ex- 
 perienced workmen are always employed, 
 and the ability and good taste of the Fore- 
 man of the office is a sufficient guaranty 
 that all work will be executed in the beet 
 style of the art.

 Are your children restless, irritable, wakeful, feverish 1 Are they cutting teeth ? Are 
 the guins red and painihl f Have they diarrhoea ? Have they fits or spasms ? If so, 
 
 USE THE ORIENTAL SYRUP. 
 
 It is the only Syrup or Cordial, or CHILD MEDICINE in market free from Opium, Mor- 
 phine, or Paragoric. These you can't give; or, at least, you ought' not to. They de- 
 stroy the functions of the BRAIN ; the child grows pale : its eyes grow wild ; its flesh 
 becomes soft ; it loses its mind ; it becomes an Idioft Mothers, these are facts ! To be 
 convinced, try it. The Oriental Syrup contains NONE of those poisons. It is per- 
 fectly harmless. It is soothing— quieting. The child sleeps sweetly, and awakes refresh- 
 ed and lively. The teeth penetrate the gums without pain. It is good for aged and ner- 
 vous people. TRY IT.

 which was submitted to the people on the 33d of June, and adopted by a 
 vote of 3,988 for, to 3!,838 against, and State oflSeers were elected.' A bill 
 was passed by Congress, Jtdy 37th, admitting the State, but the President 
 withheld his signaticre. In February, 1867, Congress passed an act im- 
 posing certain conditions to admission, which were promptly accepted, and 
 the territory became a State. It is an agricultural region, its prairies af- 
 fording boundless pasture lands. 
 
 JVSVA.3>ji. was organized as a Territory March 2, 1861. Its name 
 signifies snowy, knd is derived from the Spanish word nieme (snow.) It

 Great Basin of the Pacific coast. Congress, at its session in 1864, passed 
 an act which was approved March 31, to enable the people of the Teni- 
 tory to form a Constitution and State Govemmient, in pursuance of which 
 a Government was c^^nized and the Territory admitted as a State by 
 Proclamation of the President, October 31, 1864. At the time of its or- 
 ganization tSie Territory possessed a population of 6,857 white settlers. 
 The development of her mineral resources was rapid and almost without 
 parallel, and attracted a constant stream of immigration to the Territory. 
 As the population has not been subject to the fiuctuations from whi^h 
 other Teiritories have suffered, the growth of Nevada has been rapid and 
 steady. At the general convention elecdon of 1868, 10,934 votes were cast. 
 During 1864 great accessions to the population were made. It is probably 
 the richest State in the Union in respect to mineral resources. No region 
 in the world is richer in argentiferous leads. It also contains an immense 
 basin of salt, five miles square. Quartz mills are a very important feature 
 in mining operations. The State is barren for agricultural purposes, and 
 is remarkably healthy.

 THE TERRITORIES, 
 
 THEIE BOUNDAHrES, AEEA, PHYSICAL FEATUBES, ETC. 
 
 AZiiiS£^ii., our new territory, recently purchased of Russia, compre- 
 hends all the north-west coast on the Pacific, and the adjacent islands north 
 of the parallel of 50 degrees 40 minutes north, and the portion of the main- 
 land west of the meridian (about 140° west) of Mount St. Blias. The area 
 is computed at 481,376 square miles. The climate, although warmer than 
 in the same latitude on the eastern coast, is too rigorous to admit of suc- 
 cessful agricultural operations, and the chief value of the country and ad- 
 jacent seas is derived from their fisheries and hunting grounds. The south- 
 ern and central portions are mountainous; the northern portion along the 
 Arctic ocean is quite flat, nowhere rising more than fifteen or twenty feet 
 above the sea. The population is estimated at about 80,000, mostly Esqui- 
 meaux. 
 
 A^IZOJVA. was organized by the Thirty-Seventh Congress, in the win- 
 ter of 1863, out of the western half of New Mexico, the boundary between 
 the two Territories being the 109th meridian (32d west from Washington,) 
 and includes the greater portions of the valleys of Colorado and Gila, 
 which two rivers drain its entire surface, with parts of Utah, Kew Mexico 
 and Nevada, and yet convey, it is reported, a less volume of water to the 
 sea than the Hudson at Albany. The fertile Messilla Valley was left with 
 New Mexico. 'IThe Territory forms a block nearly square, and contains 
 126,141 square miles, or 80,730,340 acres. Its white population is probably 
 considerably less than 10,000. For agricultural purposes it is probably 
 the most worthless on the Continent, owing to the absence of rains, but it 
 is reputed to abound in silver mines. 
 
 C0Z03iji.S)0 was organized March 2, 1861, from parts of Kansas, 
 Nebraska and Utah, and is situated on each side of the Rocky Mountains, 
 between latitude 37° and 41°, and longitude 35° and 33° west from Wash- 
 ington. Area 104,500 square miles, or 66,880,000 acres. Population 50,- 
 000, besides numerous tribes of Ibdians. By an enabling act passed March 
 31, 1864, the people of the Territory were authorized to frame a State Con- 
 stitution and organize a State Government, and a Convention accordingly 
 met in 1865, and on the 13th of August adopted a Constitution, which was 
 submitted to and adopted by the people September 5, and State officers 
 elected November 14. A bill to admit the Territory as a State passed 
 ■ Congress, but was vetoed May 25, 1866. It is said to be a superior graz- 
 ing and cattle producing region, with a healthy climate and rich soil. 
 An extensive coal bed, and also gold, iron and other minerals abound.

 down its either slope, but the greater portion lies east of the mountains. 
 Its southern boundary is the 41st, its northern the 46th parallel of latitude. 
 It extends from the 104th meridian on the east to the 110th on the west. 
 Area 826,373 square miles, or 208,870,720 acres. For agricultural purposes

 taken.

 that " There shall be no denial of the elective franchise or any other right, 
 on account of color or race, and all persons shall be equal before the law."

 THE tje8.e:3i:olo-.a.e:olicoiv, 
 
 We ask attention to the engraving, which shows how this New and Charming 
 Solo Instrument can be attached to an ordinary Piano. 
 
 Easily played by any performer after a few minutes' study, all ordinary Piano 
 Forte Music can be greatly improved by its use. A simple melody can be 
 played in a dozen different ways by the alternate use of either hand on the dif- 
 ferent instruments, in one or more measures, and the judicioiis introduction of 
 the " Tremolo" in sustained notes and pathetic or plaintive passages. It is par- 
 ticularly adapted to the practice of the legato style of playing on the piano forte. 
 
 It is Invaluable as an Instnunent for Practice 
 ^o the Student, Amateur or Professor. While its addition ornaments the piano, 
 its low price (cheaper than any fiveoctave melodeon)will make it a household neces- 
 sity. All Piano Forte Dealers and Teachers will recommend it for its intrinsii 
 merit. We shall be happy to send descriptive circulars to any address, rRUE. |

 CANCELLATION. 
 
 In all cases where an adhesive stamp is 
 used for denoting the stamp duty upon an

 same must write or imprint thereupon in 
 ink the initials of his name, and the date 
 (the year, month, and day) on which the 
 same is at^ched or used. Each stamp 
 should be separately cancelled. When 
 stamps are printed upon checks, &c., so 
 that m filling up the instrument, the face of 
 the stamp is and must necessarily be writ- 
 ten across, no other cancellation will be re- 
 quired. * 
 
 All cancellation must be distinct and legi- 
 ble, and except in the case of proprietary 
 stamps from private dies, no method of 
 cancellation wnich differs from that above 
 det'cribed can be recognized as legal and 
 sufficient,

 quired by the revenue act, without eflectu- 
 ally cancelling and obliterating the same in 
 the manner required by law. 
 
 Attention is particularly called to the fol- 
 lovring extract from section 165, of the act 
 of June 30, 1864, as amended by the act of 
 July 13, 1866 : 
 
 "If any person shall wilfully remove or 
 cause to be removed, alter or cause to be al- 
 tered, the cancelling or defacing marks on 
 any adhesive stamp, with intent to use the 
 same, or to cause the use of the same, after 
 it shall have been used once, or shall know- 
 ingly or wilfhlly sell or boy such washed 
 or restored stamps, or offer the same for 
 eale, or give or expose the* satne to any per-

 son tor nse, or knowingly use the same or 
 prepare the same with intent for the fur- 
 ther use thereof, or if any person shall 
 knowingly and without lawful excHse (the 
 proof whereof shall lie on the person accus- 
 ed) have in his possession any washed, re- 
 stored, or altered stamps, which have been 
 removed frOm any vellum, parchment, pa- 
 per, instrument or writing ; then, and in 
 every such case, every person so offending, 
 and every person knowingly^ and wilfully 
 aiding, abetting, or assisting in committing 
 any such offence as aforesaid, shall, on con- 
 viction thereof, * * * be punished by 
 a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, 
 or by imprisonment and conflneinent to 
 hard labor not esceedingfive years, or both, 
 at the discretion of the coilrt/' 
 
 It is not lawful to record any instrament, 
 document, or paper required by law to be 
 stamped, or any copy thereof, unless a 
 stamp or stamps of the proper amount have 
 been affiled and cancelled in the manner 
 required by law ; and such instrument or 
 copy and the record thereof ai'e utterly null 
 ana void, and cannot be used or admitted as 
 evidence in any court until the defect has 
 been cured as provided in section 158. 
 
 All willful violations of the law ehooild be 
 reported to the United mates District Attor- 
 ney within and for the district where they

 Eevenne stamps may be used indiscrimi- 
 nately ttpon any of the matters or things 
 enumerated in Hchednle B, except proprie- 
 tary and playing card stamps, for which a 
 special use has Been provided. 
 
 Postage stamps cannot be used in pay- 
 ment of the duty chargeable on instru- 
 ments. 
 
 The law does not designate which of the 
 parties to an instrument shall furnish the 
 necessary stamp, nor does the Commission- 
 er of Internal Revenue assume to determine 
 that it shall be supplied by one party rather 
 thanby another; But if an instrument sub- 
 ject to stamp duty is issued without having 
 the necessary stamps affixed thereto. It can- 
 not be recorded, or admitted, or used in ev- 
 idence, in any court, until a legal stamp or 
 stamps, denoting the amount of tax, snail 
 have Deen afi&xed as prescribed by law, and 
 the person who thus issues it is liable to a 
 penalty, if he omits the stamps with an in- 
 tent to evade the provisions of the internal 
 rev'^nue act. 
 
 The first act imposing a stamp tax upon 
 certain specified Instruments took eifect, so 
 far as said tax is concerned, October 1, 1862. 
 The impression which seems to prevail to 
 some extent, that no stamps are required 
 upon any instruments issued in the States 
 lately in insurrection, prior to the surren- 
 der, or prior to the establishment of collec- 
 tion districts there, is erroneous. 
 
 Instruments issued in those States since 
 October 1, 1882. are subject to the same tax- 
 .i;s as similar ones issued at the same time 
 in the other States. 
 
 No stamp is necessary upon an instrument 
 executed prior to October 1, 1862, to make 
 
 it admissible in evidence, or to entitle it to 
 record. 
 
 Certificates of loan in which there shall 
 appear any written or printed evidence of 
 an amcnmt of money to be paid on demand, 
 or at a time designated, are subject to stamp 
 duty as "promissory notes." 
 
 when two or more persons join in the ex- 
 ecution of an iuBtrament, the stamp to which 
 the instrument is liable under the law, may 
 be affixed and cancelled by either of them ; 
 and "when more than one signature is affix- 
 ed to the same paper, one or more stamps 
 may be affixed thereto, representing the 
 whole amount of tile stamp required for 
 such signatures." 
 
 No stamp is required on any warrant of 
 attorney acccmpanying a bond or note, 
 when such bond or note has affixed thereto 
 the stamp or stamps denoting the duty re- 
 quired : and, whenever any bond or note is 
 secured by mortgage, but one stamp duty is 
 required on such papers — such stamp duty 
 being the highest rate required for such ia- 
 Btruments, or either of t^m. In such case- 
 a note or memoraiklum of the value or dCt 
 nomination of the stamp affixed should be 
 made upon the margin or in the acknowl- 
 edgement of the instrument which is not 
 stamped. 
 
 Particular attention is called to the 
 change in section 164, by striking out the 
 words "or used ;". the exemption thereun- 
 der is thus restricted to documents, Ac, 
 issued by the officers therein named. Also 
 to the changes in sections 152 and 168, by 
 inserting the words "and cancelled in the 
 manner required by Jaw." 
 
 The accei>tor or acceptors of any bill of 
 exchange, or order for the payment of any 
 sum of money, drawn or purporting to be 
 drawn in any foreign cotmtry, but payable 
 in the United States, must, before paying or 
 accepting the same, pbice thereupon a 
 stamp Indicating the ditty. 
 
 It is only upon conveyances of realty sold 
 that conveyance stamps are necessary. A 
 deed of real estate made without valuable 
 consideration need not be stamped ae a 
 conveyance ; but if it contains covenants, 
 such, for instance, as a covenant to warrant 
 and defend the title, it should be stamped 
 as an agreement or contract. 
 
 When a deed purporting to be a convey- 
 ance of realty sold, and stamped according- 
 ly, is inoperative, a deed of confirmation, 
 made simply to cure the defect, requires no 
 stamp. In such case, the second deed 
 should contain a recital of the facts, and 
 should show the reasons for its execution. 
 
 Partition deeds between tenants in com- 
 mon, need not be stamped as conveyances, 
 inasmuch as there is no sale of realty, but 
 merely a marking out, or a defining, of the 
 boundaries of the part belonging to each ; 
 but where money or other valuable consid- 
 eration is paid by one co-tenant to another 
 for equality of partition, there Is a sale to 
 the extent of such consideration, and the 
 conveyance, by the parly receiving it, 
 should be stamped accordingly. 
 
 A conveyance ol lands sold for unpaid 
 taxes, issued since August 1, 18B(S, by the 
 officers of any county, town, or other mu- 
 
STAMP DUTIES. 
 
 39 
 
 nicipal corporation in the discharge of their 
 strictly omcial duties, is esempt from 
 stamp tax. 
 
 A conveyance of realty sold, subject to a 
 mortgage, should he stamped according to 
 the consideration, or the value of the prop- 
 erty unencumbered. The consideration in 
 such case is to he found by adding the 
 amount paid for the equity of redemption 
 to the mortgage debt. The fact that one 
 part of the consideration is paid to the 
 mortgagor and the other part to the mort- 
 gagee does not change the liability of the 
 conveyance. 
 
 The stamp tax npon a mortgage is based 
 upon Ihe amount itis given to secure. The 
 Hict that the value of the property mortgag- 
 ed is leas than that amount, and that conse- 
 quently the security is only partial, does 
 not change the liability of the instrument. 
 When, therefore, a second mortgage is giv- 
 en to secure the payment of a sum of mon- 
 ey partially secured by a prior mortgage up- 
 on other property, or when two mor^ages 
 upon separate property are given at the 
 same time to secure the payment of the 
 same sum, each should be stamped as 
 though it were the only one. 
 
 A mortgage given to secure a surety from 
 loss, or given for any purpose whatever, 
 other than as security for the payment of a 
 definite and certain sum of money, is taxo- 
 able only as an agreement or contract. 
 
 The stamp duty upon a lease, agreement, 
 memorandnm, or contract for the hire, use, 
 or rent of any land, tenement, or portion 
 thereof, is based upon the annual rent or 
 rental value of the property leased, and the 
 duty is the same whether the lease be for 
 one year, for a term of years, or for the 
 fractional part of a year only. 
 
 Upon every assignment or transfer of a 
 mortgage, a stamp tax is required equal to 
 that imposed upon a mortgage for the 
 amount remaining unpaid ; this tax is re- 
 quired upon every such transfer in writing, 
 whether there is a sale of the mortgage or 
 not ; but no stamp is necessary upon the 
 endorsement of a negotiable instrument, 
 even though the legal effectof such indorse- 
 ment is to transfer a mortgage by which 
 the instrument is secured. 
 
 An assi^ment of a lease within the mean- 
 ing and intent of Schedule B, is an assign- 
 ment of the leaeeliold, or of some portion 
 thereof, by the lessee, or by some person 
 claiming by, from, or under him ; such an 
 assignment as subrogates the assignee to 
 the rights, or some portion of the rights, of 
 the lessee, or of the person standing in his 
 place. A transfer by the lessor of his part 
 of a lease, neither giving nor purporting 
 to give a claim to the leasehold, or to any 
 part thereof, but simply a right to the rents, 
 &c., is subject to stamp tax as a contract 
 or agreement only. 
 
 The stamp tax upon a fire insurance 
 policy is based upon the premium. 
 
 Deposit notes taken by a mutual fire in- 
 surance company, not as payment of pre- 
 mium nor as evidence of indebtedness 
 therefor, but to be used simply as a basis 
 upon which to make rateable assessments to 
 meet the losses incurred by the company. 
 
 should not be reckoned as premium in de- 
 termining the amount of stamp taxes npon 
 the policres. 
 
 When a policy of insurance properly 
 stamped has been issued and lost, no stamp 
 is necessary npon another issued by the 
 same company to the same party, covering 
 the same property, time, &c., and designed 
 simply to supply the loss. The second 
 policy should recite the loss of the first. 
 
 An instmment which operates as the re- 
 newal of a ))olicy of insurance, is subject to 
 the same stamp tax as the policy. 
 
 When a policy of insurance is issued for 
 a certain time, whether it be for one year 
 only or for a term of years, a receipt for 
 
 Eremium, or' any other instmment which 
 as the legal effect to continue the contract 
 and extendits operation beyond that time, re- 
 quires the same amount ofrevenue stamps 
 as the policy itself; but such a receipt as 
 is usually given for the payment of tjje 
 monthly, quarterly, or annual premium, is 
 not a renewal within the meaning of the 
 statute. The payment simply prevents the 
 policy from expiring, by reason of non-per- 
 formance of its conditions ; a receipt given 
 for such a payment requires a two-cent 
 stamp, if the amount received exceeds 
 twenty dollars, and a two-cent stamp only. 
 When, however, the time of pajjment has 
 passed, and a tender of the premium is not 
 sufficient to bind the company, but a new 
 policy or a new contract in some form, with 
 the mutuality essential to every contract, 
 becomes necessary between the insurer and 
 the insured, the same amount of stamps 
 should bO' used as that required npon the 
 original policy. 
 
 A permit issued by a life insurance com- 
 pany changing the terms of a policy as to 
 travel, residence, occupation, &c., should 
 be stamped as a contractor agreement. 
 
 A bill single or a bill obligatory, i. e,, an 
 instrument in the form of a promissory 
 note, under seal, is subject to stamp duty 
 as written or printed evidence of an amount 
 of monejr to be paid on demand or at a 
 time designated, at the rate of five cents 
 for each one hundred dollars or fractional 
 part thereof. 
 
 A waiver of protest, or of demand and 
 notice, written upon negotiable paper pud 
 signed by the inaorser, is an agreement, 
 and requires a five-cent stamp. 
 
 A stamp duty of twenty-five cents is im- 
 posed upon the "protest of every note, bill 
 of exchange, check or draft," and upon 
 every marine protest. If several notes, 
 bills of exchange, drafts, &c., are protest- 
 ed at the same time and all attached to one 
 and the same certificate, stamps should be 
 affixed to the amount of twenty-five cents 
 for each note, bill, draft, &c., thus protest- 
 ed. 
 
 When, as is generally the case, the cap-- 
 tion to a deposition contains other certifi- 
 cates in addition to the jurat to the afiida- 
 vit of the deponent, such as a certificate 
 that the parties were or were not notified, 
 that they did or did not appear, that thuy 
 did or did not object, &c., it Is subject to 
 a stamp duty of five cents. 
 
 When an attested copy of a vmt or other 
 
40 
 
 STAMP DUTIES. 
 
 process la used by a sheriff or other person 
 in making personal service, or In attaching 
 property, a five-cent stamp should be affix- 
 ed to the certificate of attestation. 
 
 A marriage certificate issued by the offi- 
 ciating clergyman or magistrate, to be re- 
 turned to any officer of a State, county, city, 
 town, or other municipal corporation, to 
 constitute part of a public record, requires 
 no stamp ; but if it is to be retained by 
 the parties, a five-cent stamp should be af- 
 fixed. 
 
 The stamp tax upon a bill of sale, by 
 which any ship or vessel, or any part there- 
 of, is conveyed to or vested in any other 
 person or. persons, is at the same rate as 
 that imposed upon conveyances of realty 
 sold ; a bill of sale of any other personal 
 property should be stamped as a contract 
 or agreement. 
 
 An assignment of real or personal prop- 
 erty, or of both, for the benefit of creditors, 
 should be stamped a& an agreement or con- 
 tract. . 
 
 Written or printed assignments of agree- 
 ments, bonds, notes not negotiable, and 
 of all other instruments the assignments 
 of which are not particularly specified in 
 the foregoing schedule, should be stamped 
 as agreements. 
 
 Ko stamp is necessary upon the registry 
 of a jud^ent, even though the registry is 
 such in Its legal effect as to create a lien 
 which operates as a mortgage upon the 
 property of the judgment debtor. 
 
 when a "power of attorney or proxy for 
 voting at any election for officers of any 
 incorporated company or society, except 
 religious, charitable, or literary societies, 
 or public cemeteries," is signed by sever- 
 al stockholders, owning separate and dis- 
 tinct shares, it is, in its legal effect, the 
 separate instrument of each, and requires 
 stamps to the amount of ten cents for each 
 and every signature ; one or more stamps 
 moy-he used representing the whole amount 
 i^q^iked. 
 
 A notice from landlord to tenant to 
 quit possession of premises requires no 
 stamp. 
 
 A stamp tax is imposed upon every 
 "manifest for custom-house entry or clear- 
 ance of the cargo of any ship, vessel, or 
 steamer for a foreign port." The amount 
 of this tax in each case depends upon the 
 registered tonnage of the vessel. 
 
 If a vessel clears in ballast and has no 
 cargo whatever, no stamp is necessary; 
 hut if she has any, however small the amount 
 — a stamp should be used. 
 
 A bond to convey real estate requires 
 stamps to the amount of twenty-five cents. 
 
 The stamp duty upon the probate of a 
 will, or npon letters of administration, is 
 based upon the sworn or declared value of 
 all the estate and effects, real, personal, 
 and mixed, undiminished by the debts of 
 the estate for or in respect of which such 
 probate or letters are applied for. 
 
 When the property belonging to the es- 
 tate of a person deceased, lies under dif- 
 ferent jurisdictions and it becomes neces- 
 sary to take out letters in two or more 
 places, the letters should be stamped ac- 
 cording to the value of all the property, real, 
 personal, and mixed, for or in respect of 
 which the particular letters, in each case 
 are issued. 
 
 Letters de bonis non should be stamped 
 according to the amount of property re- 
 maining to be administered upon thereun- 
 der, regardless of the stamps upon the orig- 
 inal letters. 
 
 A mere c(^y of an instrument is not sub- 
 jectto stamp duty unless it is a certified 
 one, in which case a five-cent stamp shonld 
 be affixed to the certificate of the person 
 attesting it ■ but when an instrument is 
 executed and issued in duplicate, triplicate, 
 &c.,as in the case of a lease of two or more 
 parts, each part has the same legal effect as 
 the other, and each should be stamped as 
 an original.

 BVLES FOB DETECTING COUNTERFEIT BANK NOTES. 
 
 Infallible Rules for Detecting Counterfeit or 
 Spurious Bank Notes. 
 
 'Rvvs Ist.— Examine the shading of the 
 letters in title of Bank called lathbwobk, 
 which in genuine notes presents an even, 
 straight, light and silky appearance, gen- 
 erally so fine and smooth as to appear to be 
 all in one solid, pale body. In the counter- 
 feit the lines are coarse and irregular, and 
 in many of the longer lines breaks will be 
 perceived, thus presenting a very inferior 
 finish in comparison togenalne work. 
 
 2d.— Observe the dies, circles and ovals 
 in the gennine; they are composed of a 
 network of lines, which, by crossing each 
 other at certain angles, proaace an endless 
 variety of figures ; bee thb one cent stamp 
 ATTAOHEB. The fine line alone is the 
 unit which enables you to detect spurious 
 work. In the counterfeit, theitEPRESENTED 
 white lines are coarse, irregular, and cross 
 each other in a confused, irregular manner, 
 thus producing blurred and imperfect 
 figures. 
 
 3d. — Examine the form and features of 
 all human figures on the note. In the gen- 
 uine, the texture of the skin is represented 
 by fine dots and lines intermixed. In the 
 eyes, the pupil is distinctly visible, and the 
 white clearly seen; the nose, month and 
 chin, well formed, natural and expressive ; 
 the lips are slightly pouting, and the chin 
 well thrown out ; and the delicate shading 
 of the neck perfectly harmonizes with the 
 rest of the figure. Observe the fingers and 
 toes ; they should be clearly and accurately 
 defined. The hair of the bead should show 
 the fine strands and present a natural ap- 
 pearance. The folds of the drapery of hu- 
 man figures should lay natural and present 
 a fine, finished appearance. In the counter- 
 feit the female figure does not bear the 
 natural prominence in outlines; observe, 
 the eyes and shading surrounding does not 
 present the lifelike appearance it should. 
 The fingers and toes are not properly and 
 proportionately defined ; tbe hair does not 
 near that soft and finished appearance as in 
 the genuine. 
 
 4th. — Examine the imprint or engraver's 
 names in the evenness and shape of the 
 
 fine letters. Counterfeits never bear the 
 impilnt perfect. This rule shonld be strict- 
 ly observed, as it is infiilUble in detecting 
 counterfeits. 
 
 6th.— In the genuine note the landscapes 
 are well finished; trees and shrubs are 
 neatly drawn ; the limbs well proportioned, 
 and the foliage presenting a fine natural 
 appearance ; clear sky is formed of fine 
 parallel lines, and when clouds or heavy 
 skies appear, they cross each other, and 
 bear a soft, smooth and natural appear- 
 ance. The perspective, showing a view of 
 the surrounding country, is always clear 
 and distinct. I'he small figures in tbe 
 background are always plainly seen, and 
 their outlines and general cuaracter re- 
 cognized. Ships are well defined and the 
 canvass has a clear texture ; railroad cars 
 are very accurately delineated ; in examin- 
 ing a train observe carefully the car most 
 distant. In the counterfeit the landscape 
 is usually poorly executed ; the leaves of 
 trees poorly and unnaturally defined.— 
 The lines representing still water are 
 scratchy rather than parallel, the sky is 
 represented generally m like manner, and 
 where rolling clouds are to be seen, the 
 unnatural effect is obvious. Domestic 
 animals are generally poorly executed, 
 particularly the head and limbs ; the eyes 
 are seldom clearly defined. Ships are 
 poorly drawn, the texture of the canvass 
 coarse and inferior in style of workman- 
 ship, thus giving an artificial appearance. 
 Railroad cars are also poorly executed ; the 
 car farthest from the eye is usually the 
 most imperfect. The perspective is always 
 Imperfect, the figures in the background 
 can seldom be recognized. 
 
 6th.— Bills altered flrom a smaller to a 
 higher denomination, can readily be de- 
 tected by a close observer, in consequence 
 of the striking difference between the parts 
 which have been extracted and the rest of 
 the note. This diS'erence is readily per- 
 ceived in the lack of color, body and finish 
 of the dye ; we have seen bills where the 
 surrounding shading in altered dies was 
 
aOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 
 
 45 
 
 too dark, but from the back or finish of the 
 whate lines you have a sure test. Again 
 observe particularly the words " Five " or 
 " Ten Dollars " as the case may be, denot- 
 ing the denomination of the note; the 
 paroUel outlines and shading (if any) are 
 coarse and imperfect. Alterations are fre- 
 quently made by pasting a greater denomi- 
 nation over a smaller.but by holding the 
 bill up to the light, the fraud will be per- 
 ceived. Another method resorted to is to 
 cut out the figures in the dies as well as 
 the words one dollar, or the words two or 
 three as the case may be, and with a sharp 
 eraser, scrape down the ends and also the 
 edges of the pieces to be inserted ; when 
 the pieces thus prepared are affixed they 
 are hardly perceivaole ; but by passing 
 the note through, the hand, so as to feel 
 the die both with the finger and thumb 
 at the same time, the flraud will be de- 
 tected by the stiflfness of the outer 
 edges, ** occasioned by the gum or method 
 adopted" in affixing the parts. The letter 
 S should always be examined, as in many 
 alterations it is pasted or stamped at the 
 end of the word '' dollar ;" and even when 
 stamped there, the carrying out of the ont- 
 lines for its shading will readily show the 
 fraud. Bills of broken banks are frequent- 
 ly altered by extracting the name of bank, 
 Btote and town ; they may readily be de- 
 
 tected by observing first the state, second 
 the title or name of the bank, third the 
 town or location. 
 
 General Remarks in Hbference to 
 CoiraTERrsiTS.— The paper on which they 
 are printed is generally of a very inferior 
 quality, with less body, finish and tough- 
 ness than bank note paper has. The ink 
 generally lacks the rich luster of the gen- 
 uine ; the red letters and figures are gen- 
 erally imperfect, and the ink does not pre- 
 sent the Vermillion hue as it should. The 
 printing is generally Inferior, usually ex- 
 hibiting specks of white in the most promi- 
 nent letters. The date and filling up, and 
 the President's and Cashier's names are 
 generally written by the same person, 
 although in many Instances they present 
 a difi'erent appearance. There are bills in 
 circulation bearing either genuine dies or 
 vignettes; but upon close examination 
 
 Sou will be enabled to detect any spurious 
 ill, whether counterfeit or altered, by tie 
 instructions here given, if persevered in for 
 a short time. We beg to suggest, it time 
 will admit, the learner should examine 
 minntely every bill he receives. A pow- 
 erftil pocket magnifying glass, which can 
 be purchased for from fifty cents toonedol- 
 lar at any fii the opticians, will greatly en- 
 able you to see and comprehend the differ- 
 ence between genuine and spurious work. 
 
 HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 
 
 What will my readers give to know how 
 to get rich ? Now, I will not vouch that 
 the following rules will enable every per- 
 son who may read them to acquire wealth ; 
 but this I will answer for, that if ever a 
 man does grow rich by honest meonSf and 
 retains his wealth for any len^h of time, 
 he mast practice upon the prmciples laid 
 down in the following essay. The re- 
 marks are not original witn me, but I 
 strongly commend tnem to the attention 
 of every young man, at least as affording 
 the true secret of success in attaining 
 wealth. A single pern sal of such an essay 
 at an impressible moment, has sometimes 
 a very wonderful effect upon the disposi- 
 tion and character. 
 
 Fortune, they say, ia a fickle dame — fhll 
 of her freaks and caprices ; who blindly 
 distributes her favors without the sliphtest 
 discrimination. So inconstant, so waver- 
 ing is she represented, that her most faith- 
 Itr votaries can place no reliance on her 
 promises. Disappointment, they tell us, 
 IB the lot of those who make offerings at 
 
 her shrine. Now, all this is a vile slander 
 upon the dear blind lady. 
 
 Although wealth often appears the result 
 of mere accident, or a fortunate concur- 
 rence of favorable circumstances without 
 any exertion of skill or foresight, yet any 
 man of sound health and unimpaired mind 
 may become wealthy, if he takes the prop- 
 er steps. 
 
 Foremost in the list of requisites are 
 honesty and strict integrity in every trans- 
 action of life. Let a man have the reputa- 
 tion of being fair and upright in his deal- 
 ings, and he will poesees the confidence of 
 all who know him. Without these qualities 
 every other merit will prove unavailing. 
 Ask concerningr a man, " Is he active and 
 capable?" Yes. "Industrious, temper- 
 ate and regular in his habits ? "—Oh yes. 
 *'Ifl he honest? Is he trustworthy?" 
 Why, as to that, I am sorry to say that he 
 is not to be trusted ; he needs watching ,- 
 he is a little tricky, and will take an undue 
 advantage, if he can. **Then I will have 
 nothing to do with him," will be the in- 
 
46 
 
 HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 
 
 variable reply. Why, then, is honesty the 
 best policy ? Because, without it, you will 
 get a bad name, and everybody will shun 
 you. 
 
 A character for knavery will prove an in- 
 surmountable obstacle to success in al- 
 most every undertaking. It will be found 
 that the straig]^t line is, in business, as in 
 geometry, the shortest. In a word, it is 
 almost impossible for a dishonest man to 
 acquire wealth by a regular process of bus- 
 iness, because he is shunned as a depreda- 
 tor upon society. 
 
 Needy men are apt to deviate fi*om the 
 rule of integrity, under the plea tliat ne- 
 cessity knows no law ; they mieht as well 
 add that it knows no shame. The course 
 is suicidal, and by destroyine all confidence, 
 ever keeps them immured in poverty, 
 although they may possess every other 
 quality for success in the world. 
 
 Punctuality, which is said to be the soul 
 of business, is another important element 
 in the art of money getting. The man 
 known to be scrupulously exact in the ful- 
 fillment of his engagements, gains the 
 confidence of all, and may command all 
 the means he can use with advantage ; 
 whereas, a man careless and regardless of 
 Ms promises in money matters will have 
 every purse closed against him. Therefore 
 be prompt in your payments. 
 
 Next, let us consider the advantages of 
 a cautious circumspection in our inter- 
 course with the world. Slowness of be- 
 lief and a proper distrust are essential to 
 success. The credulous and confiding are 
 ever the dupes of knaves and impostors. 
 Ask those who have lost their property 
 how it happened, and yon will find in 
 most casest that it has been owing to mis- 
 
 S laced confidence. One has lost by en- 
 orsing, another by crediting, another 
 by false representations; all of which a 
 little more foresight and a little more dis- 
 trust would have prevented. In the af- 
 faire of this world men are not saved by 
 faith, but by the want of it. 
 
 Judge of men by what they do, not by 
 what wiey say. Believe in looks rather 
 than words. Observe all their movements. 
 Ascertain their motives and their ends. 
 Notice what they say or do in their un- 
 guarded moments, wnen under the influ- 
 ence of excitement. The passions have 
 been compared to tortures which force men 
 to-reveal their secrets. Before trusting a 
 man, before putting it in his power to 
 cause you a loss, possess yourself of every 
 available information relative to him. 
 Learn his history, his habits, inclinations 
 and propensities: his reputation for honor, 
 industry, frugahty and punctuality; his 
 prospects, resources, supports, advantages 
 and disadvantages : his intentions and mo- 
 tives of action; wno are his fi-iends and 
 enemies, and what are hie good or bad qual- 
 ities. You may learn a man^s good qualities 
 and advantages from his friends— his bad 
 qualities and disadvantages ftom his ene- 
 mies. Make due allowance for exaggeration 
 in both. Finally, examine carefully before 
 engaging in anything, and act with energy 
 afterwards. Have the hundred eyes of 
 
 Argus beforehand, and the hundred hands 
 of Briarius afterwards. 
 
 Order and system in the management of 
 business must not be neglected. Nothing 
 contributes more to dispatch. Have a 
 place for everything and everything in its 
 place ; a time for everything, and every- 
 thing in its time. Do first what presses 
 most, and having determined what is to be 
 done, and how it is to be done, lose no 
 time in doing it. Without this method all 
 ie hurry and confusion, little or nothing Is 
 accomplished, and business is attended to 
 with neither pleasure nor profit. 
 
 A polite, afiOa^ble deportment is recom- 
 mended. Agreeable manners contribute 
 powerfully to a man's success. Take two 
 men, possessing equal advantages in every 
 other respect, but let one be gentlemanly, 
 kind, obliging and conciliating in bis man- 
 ners ; the other harsh, rude and disobliging; 
 and the one will become rich, while the 
 other will starve. 
 
 We are now to consider a very important 
 principle in the business of money-getting, 
 namely— Industry — nersevering, indefati- 
 
 fable attention to business. Persevering; 
 iligence is the Philosopher's stone, which 
 turns everything to gold. Constant, regu- 
 lar, habitual and systematic application to 
 business, must in time, it properly directed, 
 produce ^eat results. It must lead to 
 wealth, with the same certainty that pov- 
 erty follows in the train of idleness and 
 inattention. It has been truly remarked 
 that he who follows his amusements in- 
 stead of his business, will, in a short time, 
 have no business to follow. 
 
 The art of money-saving is an important 
 part of the art of money-getting. Without 
 frugality no one can become rich ; with it, 
 few would be poor. Those who consume 
 as fast as they produce, are on the road to 
 ruin. As most of the poverty we meet 
 with grows out of idleness and extrava- 
 gance, so most large fortunes have been 
 the result of habitual industry and frugali- 
 ty. The practice of economy is as neces- 
 sary in the expenditure of time as of 
 money. They say if " we take care of the 
 pence the pounds will tike care of them- 
 selves." So, if we take care of the 
 minutes, the days will take care of them- 
 selves. 
 
 The acquisition of wealth demands aa 
 much self-denial, and as many sacrifices 
 of present gratification, as the practice of 
 virtue itself Vice and poverty proceed, in 
 some degree, from the same sources, 
 namely— tne disposition to sacrifice the 
 future to the present ; the inability to fore- 
 go a small present pleasure for great future 
 advantages. Men fail of fortune in this 
 world, as they fail of happiness in the 
 world to come, simply because they are un- 
 willing to deny themselves momentary en- 
 joyments for the sake of permanent future 
 happiness. 
 
 Every large city is filled with persons, 
 who. In order to support the appearance of 
 wealth, constantly live beyond their in- 
 come, and make up the deficiency by 
 contracting debts wnich are never paid. 
 Others, there are, the mere drones of so-

 ciety, who pass their days In idleness, and 
 siibsiBt by pirating on the hives of the in- 
 dustrious. Many who run a short-llTed 
 career of splendid beggary, could they be 
 bat persuaded to adopt a system of rigid 
 economy for a few years, miaht pass the 
 remainder of their days in affluence. But 
 no I They must keep up appearances, 
 they must live lilie other folks. 
 
 ITieir debts accumulate; their credit 
 fails ; they are harassed by duns, and be- 
 sieged by constables and sherlfT. In this 
 extremity, as a last resort, they submit to 
 a shameful dependence, or engage in crim- 
 inal practices which entail hopeless wretch- 
 edness and infamy on themselves and 
 families. 
 
 Stick to the bnsiness in which you are 
 regularly employed. Let speculators make 
 thousands in a year or a day ; mind your 
 own regular trade, never turning from it 
 to the right hand or to the left, u you are 
 a merchant, a professional man, or a me- 
 chanic, never buy lots or stocks, unless 
 you have surplus money which you wish 
 to invest. Tour own business yon under- 
 stand as well as other men ; but other peo- 
 ple's business you do not understand. 
 Let your business be some one which is 
 useful to the community. All such occu- 
 pations possess the elements of profit in 
 themselves. 
 
 How to Secure the Piiblic Lands, 
 
 OR THE ENTRY OF THE SAME UNDER THE PRE-EMPTION AND HOMESTEAD 
 
 LAWS. 
 
 The following circular gives all necessary 
 information as to the procedure necessary 
 in purchasing and securing the public 
 lands : 
 
 Dbpabtment of the Intehiob, I 
 Gen'l Land Opficb, July 19, 1865. j 
 
 Numerous questions having arisen as to 
 the mode of _procedure to purchase public 
 lands, or acquire title to the same by bounty 
 land locations, by pre-emptions or by home- 
 stead, this circular Is commnnicated for the 
 information of all concerned. 
 
 In order to acquire title to public lands 
 the following steps must be taken ; 
 
 1. Application must be made to the Reg- 
 ister of the district land office in which the 
 laud desired may be situated. 
 
 A list of all the land offices in the United 
 States is furnished by the Department, 
 with the seats of the different offices, 
 where it is the duty of the Register and 
 Receiver to be in attendance, and give 
 proper facilities and Information to persons 
 desirous of obtaining lands. 
 
 The minimum price of ordinary pablic 
 lands is $1,25 per acre. The even or re- 
 served sections falling within railroad 
 grants are increased to double the minimum 
 price, being $3,50 per acre. 
 
 Lands once offered at public sale, and not 
 afterwards kept out of market by reserva- 
 tion, or otherwise, so as to prevent free 
 competition, may be entered or located. 
 
 2. By the applicant filing with the Regis- 
 ter his written application describing the 
 
 tract, with its area ; the Register will then 
 certify to the receiver whether the land Is 
 vacant, with its price ; and when found to 
 be BO, the applicant must pay that price 
 per acre, or may locate the same with land 
 warrant, and thereafter the Receiver will 
 give him a " duplicate receipt," which he 
 Is required to surrender previous to the 
 delivery to him of the patent, which may 
 be had either by application for It to the 
 Register or to the General Land Office. 
 
 3. If the tract has not been offered at 
 public sale It is not liable to ordinary pri- 
 vate entry, but may be secured by a party 
 legally qualified, upon his compliance with 
 the requirements of the pre-emptioii laws 
 of «h September, 1841, and 8d March, 1843; 
 and after such party shall have made ac- 
 tual settlement for such a length of time 
 as will show he designs It for his perma- 
 nent home, and is acting In good faith, 
 building a house and residing therein, he 
 may proceed to the district land office, es- 
 tablish his pre-emption claim according to 
 law^by proving his actual residence and 
 cultivation, and showing that he is other- 
 wise within the purview of these acts.— 
 Then he can enter the land at $1,35, either 
 in cash or with bounty land warrant, unless 
 the premises should be $2,50 acre lands. 
 In that case the whole purchase-money can 
 be paid in cash, or one-half in cash, the 
 residue with a bounty land warrant. 
 
 4. But If parties legally qualified desire 
 to obtain title under the Homestead Act 
 of 20th May, 1862, they can do so on com- 
 
48

 plying witli the Department Circular, dated 
 aotli October, 1862. 
 
 B. The law confines Homestead entries 
 to surveyed lands; and although, in cer- 
 tain States and Territories noted in the sub- 
 joined list, pre-emptors may go on land be- 
 fore survey, yet they can only establish their 
 claim after return of survey, but must file 
 their pre-emption declaration within three 
 months after receipt of official plat, at the 
 local land-offlce where the settlement was 
 made before survey. Where, however, it 
 was made after survey, the claimant must 
 file within three months after date of set- 
 tlement; and where actual residence and 
 cultivation have been long enough to show 
 
 that the claimant has made the land his 
 permanent home, he can establish his 
 claim and pay for the same at any time 
 before the date of the public sale of lands 
 within the range in which his settlement 
 may fall. 
 
 6. All unofifered surveyed lands not ac- 
 quired under pre-emption, homestead, or 
 otherwise, under express legal sanction, 
 must be offered at public sale under the 
 President's Proclamation, and struck off to 
 the highest biddert as required by act of 
 April 84, 1820.

 making the complaint must prove the words 
 allegedj other words of like meaning will

 tion ; and this is such a loss of service as 
 will sustain the action. 
 
 43. Addressing to a wife a letter contain- 
 ing matter defamatory to the character of 
 her husband is a publication, and renders 
 the writer amenable to damages. 
 
 44. A parent cannot sustain an action for

 vant, whilst driving his cart or carriage,

 master's business does not call him ; but if 
 the journey of a servant be solely for a pur- 
 pose of his own, and undertaken withcnt 
 the knowledge and consent of his master, 
 the latter is not responsible.

 48. In an action for libel against a news- 
 paper, extracts from sach newspaper may 
 be given to show its circulation, and the 
 extent to which the libel has been published. 
 The jury, in estimating the damages, are 
 to look at the character of the libel, and 
 whether the defendant is rich or poor. The 
 plaintiffls entitled, in all cases, to his ac- 
 tual damages, and should be compensated 
 for the mental sufferings endured, the pub- 
 lic disgrace inflicted, and all actual discom- 
 fort produced. 
 
 4.9. Delivery of a husband's goods by a 
 wife to her adulterer, he having Knowledge 
 that she has taken them without her hus- 
 band's anthority, is sudcient to sustain an 
 indictment for larceny against the adul- 
 terer. 
 
 BO. The fact that the insurer was not in-

 Bnch representative's authority to ' act in 
 behalf of such estate. 
 
 55. In an action against a railroad com- 
 pany, by a passenger, to recover damages 
 for injuries sustained on the road, it is not 
 compulsory upon the plaintiff to prove ac- 
 tual negligence in the defendants ; but it 
 is' obligatory on the part of the latter to 
 prove that the injury was not owing to any 
 fault or negligence of theirs. 
 
 56. A guest is a competent witness, in an 
 action between himself and an inn-keeper, 
 to prove the character and value of lost 
 personal baggage. Money in a trunk, not 
 exceeding tue amount reasonably required 
 by the traveler to defray the expenses of 
 the journey which he has undertaken, is a 
 part of his baggage ; and in case of its loss, 
 while at any inn, the plaintiff may prove its 
 amount by his own testimony.

 void. The court is authorized to Judge,

 band. 
 
 59. Any contract made with a person ju- 
 dicially declared a lunatic is void. 
 
 60. Money paid voluntarily in any trans-

 ulated in the contract. 
 
 62. A wife is a competent witness with 
 her husband, to prove the contents of a lost 
 trunk, or when a party. 
 
 63. A wife cannot he convicted of receiv- 
 ing stolen goods when she received them 
 of ner husband. 
 
 64. Insurance against fire, by lightning or

 ness on first trial, is not required to be re- 
 peated verbatim on the second.

 offered for lost property, has a lien upon the 
 property for the reward ; but only when a 
 definite reward is offered. 
 
 73. Confession by a prisoner must be vol- 
 untarily made, to constitute evidence against 
 him. 
 
 74. The defendant in a suit must be serv- 
 ed with process ; but service of such pro- 
 cess upon his wife, even in his absence from 
 the State, is not, in the absence of statuto- 
 ry provisions, sufficient.

 75. The measure of damages in trespass 
 for cutting timber, is its viQue as a chattel 
 on the land where it was felled, and not the 
 market price of the lamber manufactured.

 cious mischief in killing an animal, mal- 
 ice towards its owner must be shown, not 
 merely passion excited against the animal

 77. No action can be maintained against 
 a sheriff for omitting to account for money 
 obtained upon an execution within a reas- 
 onable time. He has till the return day to 
 render such account.

 of the promisor, is held to be an instru- 
 ment in writing for the payment of money. 
 
 8.3. The declaration of an agent is not ad- 
 missible to establish the f^ct of agency. — 
 But when other proper evidence is given, 
 tending to establish the fact of agency, it 
 is not error to admit the declarations of the 
 agent, accompanying acts, though tend- 
 ing to Bhow the capacity in which he act- 
 ed. When evidence is competent in one 
 respect and incompetent in another, it is 
 the duty of the court to admit it, and con- 
 trol its effects by suitable instructions to 
 the jury. 
 
 84. The court has a general power to re- 
 move or suspend an attorney for such im- 
 moral conduct as rendered him unworthy 
 of confidence in his ofl&cial capacity. 
 
 85. Bankruptcy is pleadable in .bar to all 
 actions and in all courts, and this bar may 
 be avoided whenever it is interposed, by 
 showing fraud in the procurement of the 
 discharge, or a violation of any of the pro- 
 visions of the bankrupt act.

 rant, only when they stand in some special 
 relation of trust and confidence in relation 
 to the subject matter of the contract. But 
 neither will be protected if he does any- 
 thing, however slight, to mislead or deceive 
 the other, 
 
 90. A contract negotiated by mail is 
 formed when notice of acceptance of the of- 
 fer is duly deposited in the post-ofBce, pro- 
 perly addressed. This rule applies, although 
 the party making the offer expressly re- 
 quires that if it IB accepted, speedy notice 
 of acceptance shall be given him. 
 
 91. The date of an instrument is so far a 
 material part of it, that an alteration of 
 the date by the holder after execution, 
 makes the instrument void. 
 
 93. A corporation may maintain an actifti 
 for libel, for words published of them and 
 relating to its trade or business, by which 
 it has incurred special damages. 
 
 93. It is unprofessional for a lawyer who 
 has abandoned his case without trying it, 
 a term or two before trial, to claim a fee 
 conditional upon the success of his client, 
 although his client was successful, 
 
 94. Although a party obtaining damages 
 for injuries received through the default Of 
 another, was himself guilty of negligence, 
 yet that will not defeat his recovery, unless 
 his negligence contributed to cause the in- 
 jury. 
 
 95. A person may contract to labor for an- 
 other during life, in consideration of receiv- 
 ing his support ; but his creditors have the 
 right to mqulre into the intention with 
 which such arrangement is made, and it will 
 be set aside if entered into to deprive them' 
 of his future earnings. 
 
 96. A grantor may by express terms ex- 
 clude the bed of a river, or a highway, 
 mentioned as boundary; but if without 
 language of exclusion a line is described as 
 ' along/ or ' upon,' or as ' running to ' the 
 highway or river, or as ' by,' or ' running.to 
 the bank of the river; these expressions 
 carry the grantee to the center of the high- 
 way or river. 
 
 97. The court will take pains to construe 
 the words used in a deed in such a way as 
 to eflfect the intention of the parties, how- 
 ever unskillfuUy the instrument may be

 be that the word used was used by mistake 
 for another.

 nntarily, it must be Bhown, in order to

 Peraonal violence, either threatened or in- 
 flicted, will be sufficient cause for such sep- 
 aration. 
 
 100. Keceaearies of dress furnished to a 
 discarded wife must correspond with the 
 pecuniary circumstances of the husband, 
 and be sach articles as the wife, if prudent,

 the sale.

THE DECIMAL SYSTEM 
 
 OF 
 
 WEIGHTS AND MEASUREB. 
 
 As Amnorized ii Act of Gtngnss-AiproTM My 28, 1866. 
 
 STANDARDS. 
 
 In every system of Weights and Measures 
 it Is necessary to have what are called 
 " Siandardi,'" as the pound, yard, gallon, 
 &c., to be divided and multiplied into 
 smaller and larger parts and denominations. 
 The definition and cdnstmction of these 
 Standards involve philosophical and scien- 
 tific principles of a somewhat abstruse 
 character, and are made and procured by 
 the legislative department of the govern- 
 ment. The nominal Standards in the new 
 system are the Mxteb, the Akb, the Litbb, 
 and tbfe Obam. The onlyreo^ Standard, the 
 one by which all the other standards are 
 mes6«u«d, and from which the system de- 
 rives its name of " Metric," is the Meteb. 
 
 THE METER 
 Is used for all measures of length, distance, 
 br«tdth, depth, heighth, &c., and was in- 
 tended to be, and is veiy nearly, one ten- 
 mi^ionth of the distance 6a the eartVs 
 surface from the equator to the jpole. It is 
 about 39Ji incbes, or 3 feet, 8 inches and 
 i eighths, and is to be substituted for the 
 yard. 
 
 THE ARE 
 Is a sur&ce whose side is ten Meters, and 
 is equal to 100 square Meters or alfout 4 
 square rods. 
 
 THE LITER 
 la the unit for measuring solids and capa- 
 ity, and is equal to the contents of a cube 
 whose edge is one-tenth of a meter. It i's 
 about equal to 1 quart, and is a standard in 
 cubic, dry and liquid measures. 
 D 
 
 ^S^ A cubic Meter (or Eiloliter) is called 
 a Here^ and is also usedas a standard in cer- 
 tain cubic measures. 
 
 THE GRAM 
 Is the Unit of weighty and is the weight of 
 a cube of pure water, each edge of the cube 
 being one one-hundredth of a Meter. It is 
 about equal to 15^ grains. It is intended 
 as the Standard in (M weights, and with its 
 divisions and multiples, to supersede the 
 Use of what are now called Avoirdupois, . 
 Apothecaries and Troy Weights. 
 
 Each of the foregoing Standards is divi- 
 ded decimally, and larger units are also . 
 formed by multiples of 10, 100, <St:c. The 
 successive subordinate parts are designa- 
 ted by the jireflxes Deci, Centi and MUlli ; 
 the successive multiples by Deka, Hecto, 
 Kilo and Myria ; eacn having its own nu- 
 merical signification, as will De more clear- 
 ly seen in the tables hereinafter given. 
 
 The terms used may, at first sight, have 
 a formidable appearance, seem difficultto 
 pronounce, and to retain in memory, and to 
 be, therefore, objectionable ; but with a lit- 
 tle attention and use, the apprehended dif- 
 ficulty will be found more apparent than 
 real, as has been abundantly proved by ex- 
 perience. The impoxtauce, also, of con- 
 formity in the use of commercial terms, on 
 the i>art of the United States, with the 
 practice of the many nations in which the 
 system, with its present nometKlatjtre, has 
 already been adopted, must greatly over- 
 balance the comparatively slight objection 
 alluded to.

 Discount and Premlnm. 
 
 When a pereon bays an article for $1,00— 
 20 per cent off, (or discoant,) and fiellB it 
 again for $1,00, he makes a profit of 25 per 
 cent, on his investment. Thus : He pays 
 80 cents and sells for $1,00— a gain of 20 
 cents, or 25 per cent of 80 cents. And for 
 any transaction where the sale or purchase 
 of gold, silver, or currency is concerned, 
 the following rules vrill apply in all eases. 
 
 EcuB 1st.— To find premium when dis- 
 count- is given : Multiply 100 by rate of 
 discount and divide by 100, less rate of dis- 
 count, 
 
 KnLE ad.— To find disconnt when pre- 
 mium is given. Multiply the rate of interest 
 by lOO, and divide by 100, plus the rate of 
 premium. 
 
 Suppose A has $140 in currency, which 
 he wishes to exchange for gold, when gold 
 is 27 per cent, premium, how much gold 
 should he receive ? In this case the pre- 
 mium is given, consequently we must find 
 the discount on A's currency and subtract 
 it fl:om the $140, as per rule 2d, showing 
 the discount to be a tnfle more than 21 per 
 cent, and that he should receive $110.60 in 
 gold.

 Facts on Advertising. 
 
 The advertisements in an ordinary nnm- 
 ber of the London Times exceed 2,500. The 
 annual advertising bills of one London firm 
 are said to amount to $200;000: and three 
 others are mentioned who each annually 
 expend for the purpose $50,000. The ex- 
 pense for advertislnff the eight editions of 
 the "Bncyclopoedia Britannia" is said to 
 have been $15,000. 
 
 In large cities nothing is more common 
 than to see large business establishments, 
 which seem to have an immense advantage 
 over all competitors, by the wealth, expe- 
 rience, and prestige they have acquired, 
 drop gradually out of public view, and be 
 succeeded by firms of a smaller capital, 
 more energy, and more determined to have 
 the fact that they sell such and such com- 
 modities known from one end of the land to 
 the other. In other words, the establish- 
 ments advertise ; the old die ol dignity.— 
 The former are ravenous to pass out of ob- 
 scurity into publicity; the latter believe 
 that their publicity is so obvious that it 
 cannot be ooscared. The first understand 
 that they must thrust themselves upon 
 public aUention, or be disregarded; the 
 second, having once obtained public atten- 
 tion, suppose they have arrested It perma- 
 nently; while, in fact, nothing Is more char- 
 acteristic of the world than the ease with 
 which it forgets. 
 
 Stephen Girard, than whom no shrewder 
 business man ever lived, used to say: ^I 
 have always considered advertising liber- 
 ally and long to be the great medium of 
 success In business, and the prelude to 
 wealth. And I have made it an Invariable 
 rule too, to advertise in the dullest times 
 as well as the busiest ; long experience 
 having taught me that money thus spent is 
 well laid out; as by keeping my business 
 continually before the public it has secured 
 me many sales that I would otherwise have 
 lost.

 BrlUlant Wbitewasb. 
 
 Many have heard of the brilliant atucco 
 whitewaBhon the east end of the Preel- 
 dent'B house at WaBhington. The follow- 
 ing is a recipe for it ; it fa gleaned f^om the 
 National Intelligencer, with some addi- 
 tional improvements learned hy experi- 
 ments : Take half a bushel of nice un- 
 slacked lime, slack it with boiling water, 
 cover it during the process to keep in the 
 steam. Strain the liquid through a fine 
 sieve or strainer, and add to it a peck of 
 salt, previously well dissolved in warm wa- 
 ter ; three pounds of ground rice, boiled to 
 a thin paste, and stirred in boiling hot ; half 
 a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and 
 a pound of clean glue, which has been pre- 
 viously dissolved by soaking it well, and 
 then hanging it over a slow are, in a small 
 kettle within a large one filled with water. 
 Add five gallons ofhot water to the mixture, 
 stir it well, and let it stand a few days cov- 
 ered flrom the dirt. 
 
 It should be put on right hot ; for this 
 purpose it can be kept m a kettle on a 
 portable ftimace. It is said that about a 
 pint of this mixture will cover a square 
 ?ard upon the ontBide of a house if proper- 
 y appued. Brushes more or less small may 
 be used according to the neatness of thejob 
 required. It answers as well as oil paint 
 for wood, brick or scone, and is cheaper. 
 It retains its brilliancy for many years. 
 There is nothing of the kind that will 
 compare vrith it, either for inside or outside 
 walls. 
 
 Coloring matter may be put in and made 
 of any shade you hke. Spanish brown 
 stirred in will make red pink, more or less 
 deep according to the quantity. A delicate 
 tinge of this is very pretty, for inside walls. 
 Finely pulverized common clay, well mixed 
 with Spanish brown, makes a reddish stone 
 color. Yellow-ochre stirred in makes yel- 
 low wash, but chrome goes fhrther, and 
 makes a color generally esteemed prettier. 
 In all these cases the darkness of the shades 
 of course is determined by the quantity of 
 coloring used. It is difftcult to make rules, 
 because tastes are different. It would be 
 'best to try experiments on a shingle and let 
 It dry. We have been told that green must 
 not be mixed with lime. The lime de- 
 stroys the color, and the color has an efi'ect 
 on the whitewash, which makes it crack 
 and peel. When walls have been badly 
 smoked, and you wish to have them a clean 
 white, it is well to squeeze indigo plenti- 
 fully through a bag into the water you use, 
 before it is stirred in the whole mixture. 
 If a larger quantity than five gallons be 
 wanted, the same proportion should be ob- 
 served. 
 
 How to get a Horse out of a 
 Fire. 
 
 The great diiBcnlty of getting horses from 
 a stable where surrounding bmldings are in 
 a state of conflagation, is well known. — 
 The plan of covermg their eyes with a blan- 
 ket will not always succeed. 
 
 A gentleman whose horses have been in 
 great peril flrom such a cause, having tried 
 
 in vain to save them, hit upon the expedi- 
 ent of having them harnessed as though go- 
 ing to their usual work; when, to his aston- 
 ishment, they were led ftom the stable 
 without difiSculty. 
 
 The Cbemlcal Barometer. 
 
 Take a long narrow bottle, such as an old- 
 fashioned Eau-de-Cologne bottle, and put 
 into it two and a half drachms of camphor, 
 and eleven drachms of spirits of wine ; 
 when the camphor is dissolved, which it 
 will readily do by slight agitation, add the 
 following mixture : Take water, nine 
 drachms; nitrate of potash (saltpetre) 
 thirty-eight grains; and muriate of am- 
 monia (sal ammoniac) thirty-eight grains. 
 Dissolve these salts in the water pnor to 
 mixing with the camphorated spirit : then 
 shake the whole well together. Cork "the 
 bottle well, and wax the top, but after- 
 wards make a very small aperture in the 
 cork with a red-hot needle. The bottle may 
 then be hung up, or placed in any stationa- 
 ry position. ' By oDserving the different 
 appearances which the materials assume, 
 as the weather changes, it ibecomes an ex- 
 cellent prognosticator of a coming storm or 
 of.a sunny sky. 
 
 I<eecb Barometer. 
 
 Take an eight ounce phial, and put in it 
 three gills of water, and place in it a healthy 
 leech, changing the water in summer once 
 a week, and in winter once in a fortnight, 
 and it will most accurately prognosticate 
 the weather. If the weather iS' to be fine, 
 the leech lies motionless at the bottom of 
 the glass and coiled together in a spiral 
 form ; if rain may be expected, it will creep 
 up to the top of its lodgings and remain 
 there till the weather is settled ; if we are 
 to have wind, It will move through its habi- 
 tation with amazing swiftness, and Beldom 
 goes to rest till it begins to blow hard ; if a 
 remarkable storm of thunder and rain is to 
 succeed, it will lodge for some days before 
 almost continually out of the water, and 
 discover great uneasiness in violent throes 
 and convulsive-like motions : in frost as in 
 clear summer-like weather it lies constantly 
 at the bottom ; and in snow as in rainy 
 weather it pitches its dwelling in the very 
 mouth of the phial. The top should be cov- 
 ered over with a piece of muslin. 
 
 To Mbasube Obain in a Bik.— Find the 
 number of cubic feet, from which deduct 
 om-fifth. The remainder is the number of 
 bushels — allowing, however, one bushel 
 extra to every 324. Thus in a remainder of 
 224 there would be 225 bushels. In a re- 
 mainder of 448 there would be 4S0 bushels, 
 &c.

 How to Judge a Itorse. 
 
 A correspondent, contrary to old maxitns, 
 undertakes to judge the character of a horse 
 by outward apfiearataces, and offers the fol- 
 lowing suggestions, the result of his close 
 observation and long experience : 
 
 If the color be light sorrell, or chestiut, 
 his feet, legs and face white, these are 
 marks of kindness. If he is broad and full 
 between the eyes, he may be depended on 
 as a horse of good sense, and capable of be- 
 ing trained to anything. 
 
 As respects such horses, the more kindly 
 you treat them the better you will he treat- 
 ed in return. Nor will a horse of this de- 
 scription stand a whip. If well fed. 
 
 Kyou want a safe horse, avoid one that 
 is dish-faced. He may be so far gentle as 
 not to scare ; but he wiU have too much go- 
 ahead in him to be safe with everybody. 
 
 If you wani a ^ool, but a horse of gre&t 
 bottom, get k deej^ bay, with not a white 
 hair about him. If hie face is a little dish- 
 ed, so much the wpi^ae. Let no man ride 
 such a horse that is not an adept in riding 
 —they are always tricky and unsafe. 
 
 If you want one that will never give out, 
 never buy a large, overgrown one. 
 
 A black horse cannot stand heat, nor a 
 white oni cold. 
 
 If you want a gentle horse, get one with 
 more or less white, about the head; the 
 more the better. Many persons Suppose 
 the parti-colored horses belonging to the 
 circuses, shows, &c., are selected for their 
 oddity. But the selections thus made are 
 on account of their great docility and gen- 
 tleness. 
 
 ineasiireinent or Hay In the 
 
 Mow or StaeK.— It is often desirable, 
 whefe conveniences for Weighing are not at 
 hand, to liurchase and sell hay by measure- 
 ment. It is evident that no fixed rule will 
 answer in all cases, as it would require 
 more cubic feet at the top of a mow than at 
 the boiioih. The general r^lb adopted by 
 those wh6 have tested it, is t^ cubic feet of 
 sdlld Timothy hay, as taken ftom mow or 
 bottom of ^tack. The rule may be varied 
 for upper part Of mow or btack atcordihg 
 to pressure.

CORTLAND COVNTT. 63 
 
 CORTLAND COUNTY. 
 
 THIS COUNTY y^ss formed from Onondaga, April 8, 
 1808, and embraces the original townships of Virgil, Cincinnnatus, 
 Homer, Solon, and the south halfof Tullyand Fabius, in the south- 
 east corner of the "Military Tract." It was named in honor of 
 ^Pierre Van Cortlandt, the first Lieutenant Governor of the State 
 of New York, and an extensive owner of lands upon the Military 
 Tract. It lies near the center of the State, upon the northern spurs 
 of the Alleghany Mountains, and just south of the watershed be- 
 tween Susquehanna Eiver and Lake Ontario. It contains an area 
 of 485 square miles, and is centrally distant 120 miles from Al- 
 bany. The surface is hilly ar.d in some places broken, consisting 
 chiefly of arable ridges with narrow valleys between them. The 
 highlands are divided into three general ridges, extending in a 
 northerly and southerly direction. The first of these ridges occu- 
 pies the extreme eastern border of the "County, and is bounded on 
 the west by the valley of Otselic Eiver ; the second lies between 
 the Otselie and Tioughnioga Elvers ; and the third embraces all 
 the highlands lying west of the Tioughnioga Eiver. The highlands 
 are all divided latterly by the valleys of small streams, and in 
 some places they are little more than a collection of sharp ridges, 
 separated by narrow ravines. The northern part of the County 
 spreads out into a high plateau, broken by hills. This level has an 
 average elevation of 1,100 to 1,200 feet above tide, and the ridges 
 are from 200 to 500 feet higher. A broad plain occupies the cen- 
 ter of the western part of the County, and into this most of the 
 valleys of the tributaries of the Tioughnioga open. South of this 
 the valleys contract until they become mere ravines. The highest 
 points of the County are Mount Toppin, in Preble ; the Truxton 
 Hills and the Owego Hills, in Virgil and Harford; which attain an 
 elevation of 1,600 to 2,100 feet above tide. 
 
64 COBTLAND CO'UNTT. 
 
 Tioughnioga Eiver constitutes the principal drainage of the 
 County, flowing as it does through near the center. It enters the 
 County by two branches, the eastern entering Cuyler from Madi- 
 son County, and the western taking its rise in the small lakes in 
 the northern part of Preble and the southern part of Onondaga 
 County. The principal branches of the Tioughnioga are the Ot- 
 selic, Trout, Cheningo iind Labrador Creeks, and Cold and Factory 
 Brooks. Otselic flows through a deep valley in the eastern part of 
 the County, from Chenango County. The Skaneateles Inlet drains 
 the north-western part of the County, the branches of Fall Creek 
 the extreme western, and Owego Creek the south-western parts. 
 Skaneateles Lake, bordering oh the north-westferh corner, is the 
 largest body of water in the County, There are several small 
 lakes in the northern part of the Tioughnioga Valley. 
 
 The Hamilton group of rocks enters the northern portions of 
 the County ; and towards the south, successively above this, ap- 
 pear the Genesee slate ahd the Portage and Chemung groups. 
 The Hamilton rocks consist of calcareous shale, with limestone and 
 slate intermixed. Quarries of sandstone and limestone, affording 
 excellent building material, are worked in Scott, Homer, Cortland- 
 ville, arid several other parts of the County. A short distance 
 south-ea&t from Cortlandville are several small lakes, containing 
 deposits of marl, from which an excellent quality of lime is inanu- 
 factured. The soil upon J;he hills is chiBfly a sandy or gravelly 
 loam ; and that of the valleys is Of Similai- character, with a large 
 mixture of disintegrated slate, shale and limestone. 
 
 This County is more elevated above tide than the regions north 
 and west, and as a consequence has a colder climate. The winters 
 are longer, and the snow falls to a greater depth. Agriculture con- 
 stitutes the chief occupation of the people. Spring grains are large- 
 ly produced in the valleys, but the whole County is better adapted 
 to pasturage than to tillage. Dairying and stock raising are car- 
 ried on extensively. Considerable attention is being paid to the 
 raising of wool. Fruits are produced to some extent, but are lia- 
 ble to injury from frosts in the fall and spring. There is but little 
 manufacturing carried on in the County. 
 
 ■ The Syr^eu'^e, Binghaniton and New York Railroad extends 
 through the County, along the valley of the Tioughnioga, connect- 
 ing with the New York <Ji Erie at Binghamton, and With the New 
 York Central at Syracuse. It has stations at Preble, Little York, 
 Homer, Cortland, Blodgetts Mills, State Bridge and Mara- 
 thon. The completion of this road ha^ given an additional im- 
 pulse to every branch of business, and has greatly increased the val- 
 ue of farms by furnishing an easy, direct and rapid communication 
 to the great markets of the cbuntry. 
 
OOSTL^l^D GOVNTT. 63 
 
 It was evident to the early settlers, pf this County th»t; the Ti- 
 oughnioga River, aa a commercial highway, could never bg.n^ade 
 available to any gre^t extent, and that other channels of commvini"- 
 cation must be provided ^o encourage enterprise and prpmote tb» 
 best interests of the inhabitants. Stftte roads iiad been l%id out 
 and were improved to some extent, and the y^^-ious towns wer<e 
 connected only by the imperfect roads which had si^cceeded tte 
 bridle paths through the forest, with marked t^ees as the only iftdir 
 cation that huma.n footsteps had ever before pressed the sqi],. Pre- 
 vious to the construction of the Erie Canal, the he&vy goods of the 
 merchants were brought up the Hudson Eiver to Albany, and con- 
 veyed by land to Schenectady ; thence up th^ Mohawk and through 
 the canal at Little Falls to ^ome ; thence to Wood Creek, Oneida 
 Lake, Seneca River, &c., a very roundabout way, from New York , 
 to Cortland. Sometimes gopds were transported by land from 
 Albany or Utica. Ca.ttle were usually driven to Philadelphia, and 
 potash was carried to New York or ^ontreql, for a market. Grain 
 was shipped on arks down the Tioughniog^ and S,U3quehanna to 
 Baltimore. Though th^e modes of conveyance ■vyere very tedious 
 they were the best available, ^nd at an early day the people set 
 ■ about dfevising some more expeditious means of transportation. 
 In 1836 the New York Legislature granted a charter for a railroad 
 from Syracuse to Binghamtpn. This was the first charter ever 
 granted by the Legislature of this State. The inhabitants of Cort- 
 land County were greatly elated at the prospect of direct and 
 speedy communication with the Erie C^iaal> which was completed 
 in 1825. Their hopes were destined t0|be disappointed, and for 
 more than a quarter of a century were not realized. In the mean 
 time the population of t^e County had greatly increased and the 
 commercial products had surpassed in amount the wildest dreams 
 of the most sanguine. The West was so rapidly increasing in pop- 
 ulation an(| resources th»t the Erie Canal was no longer d-eemed 
 sufficient for the commercial interests of the east and west, and the 
 New York and Erie Railroad was projected and fast approaching 
 completion. The coal fields of Pennsylvania and the Great Lakes 
 must be connected by some easy and cheap mode of transporta- 
 tion, whpse route would lie through this County and open to its in- 
 habitants a great thoroughfare for the transfer of their products. 
 Under these circumstances the project of a railroad to connect the 
 sea-board with the Great Lakes was revived and a new charter ob- 
 tained. Books were opened for subspriptipn,,andin 185,0 a suffi- 
 cient amount of stock had been obtained to warrant the necessary 
 surveys to be made. Most of the active, participants in this enter- 
 prise were residents of Homer and Cortland. The road from 
 Binghamton to Syracusci was commenced in 1853 and completed 
 in 1854. The formal opening took place on the 18th and 19th of 
 
66 CORTLAND COUNTY. 
 
 October, amidst bon-fires, illuminations and every demonstration 
 of joy. The length of the road is eighty miles and its cost about 
 one and a quarter millions of dollars. For some time the Direc- 
 tors of the Syracuse & Binghamton Road were unable to make any 
 satisfactory arrangements with the Oswego & Syracuse Koad, and 
 a charter was granted for another broad gage road on the east side 
 of Onondaga Lake, but on account of financial embarrassments the 
 road was not constructed. Recently a third rail has been laid on 
 the Oswego & Syracuse Road, and now freight from Oswego can 
 be shipped direct to New York and all points on the New York & 
 Erie Road without change of cars. The coal trade is of vast im- 
 portance to this road, as will be evident to any casual observer of 
 the coal yards of Syracuse and other places on the line. 
 
 The County Seat is located at the village of Cortland. The 
 Court House is a substantial brick building, located upon the cor- 
 ner of Court and Church streets. The Jail is of hewn stone and 
 stands in the rear of the Court House ; and the Clerk's Office is a 
 brick structure standing on the west side of Main street. The 
 County Courts were first held at the school house, on lot 45,. in 
 Homer. By an act of April 5, 1810, Joseph L. Richardson, of 
 Auburn, Nathan Smith, of Herkimer, and Nathaniel Locke, of Che- 
 nango, were appointed commissioners to select a site for a Court 
 House, and t2,000 were appropriated for the erection of the build- 
 ing. The first County Officers were John Keep, First Judge; Wil- 
 liam Mallory, Sheriff ; and John McWhorter, Surrogate. The 
 County Poor House is situated upon a farm about three miles 
 north-east of Cortland Village. 
 
 The first newspaper published in Cortland County was 
 
 The Cor<fa»rf (7oMrier, established at Homer in 1810, by James 
 and Samuel Percival. In 1813, H. R. Bender and R. Washburne 
 became the proprietors, and changed its name to 
 
 The Farmers Journal. In 1813, Jesse Searl became its proprie- 
 tor, and issued it as 
 
 The Cortland Repository, and continued it till 1825, when Milton 
 A. Kinney became its proprietor and changed its name to 
 
 The Cortland Observer. In 1833 it passed into the hands of S. S. 
 Bradford, and . in 1836 into those of Mr. Holmes, by whom its 
 name was changed to 
 
 The Homer Eagle. In 1837 it was united with the Cortland Re- 
 publican, and issued by R. A. Reid as 
 
 The Republican and Eagle, and continued until 1852. C. B. 
 Gould then became proprietor and changed it to 
 
 The Cortland County Whig. In 1856 J. R. Dixon became pro- 
 prietor and issued it as 
 
 THE CORTLAND COUNTY REPUBLICAN, and has con- 
 tinued its publication to the present time.

 The Protestant Sentinel yraa started at Homer in 1831, by John 
 Maxon, and continued until 1833. 
 
 The Cortland Republican was started in 1815, at Cortland Vil- 
 lage, by James Percival, and was continued by him, by Osbom & 
 Campbell, and by Campbell Brothers, until 1821. 
 
 The Western Courier was founded at Homer in 1821, by Roberts 
 & Hull, and was soon after removed to Cortland Village. In 1824 
 it appeared as 
 
 The Cortland Journal, and in 1832 as 
 
 The Cortland Advocate. It was published successively by C. W. 
 Gill, H. S. Kandall and David Fairchild, and in 1845 it was styled 
 
 The Cortland Democrat. It was subsequently published by Seth 
 Haight and H. G. Crouch, and by A. P. Cole, who changed it to 
 
 The Cortland Gazette in 1857. . 
 
 The Cortland Chronicle was started in 1828 by Eeed & Osborn. 
 It was sold to R. A. Eeed in 1832, and by him called

 The South Cortland Lv/minary was published in 1840, at South 
 Cortland, by M. Reynolds. 
 
 The Morning Star was published at McGrawville in 1850, and 
 
 The Central Reformer in 1858.* 
 
 The Military Tract, of which this County forms a part, consisted 
 of twenty-six. townships, granted by the Legislature of the State of 
 New York to soldiers of the Revolutionary war. Each township 
 was ten miles square and contained one hundred lots. Each non- 
 commissioned officer and private was entitled to 500 acres, to be 
 drawn by lot. Congress subsequently passed an act granting 100 
 acres to each soldier, the land appropriated for this purpose being 
 located in Ohio. Arrangements were made allowing the soldiers 
 from this State to draw the whole 600 acres here, on their relin- 
 quishing all claim to the Ohio lands ; but if the soldier neglected 
 to do this, one-sixth part of what his patent called for reverted to 
 the State, and subsequently became known as the " State's Hun- 
 dred." Certain lots in each township were set apart for the sup-

 port of the Gospel andsohaols. Lots 69, 76 and 81, in the town- 
 ship of Tully ; 55 and 58, in Fabius ; 4, 34, 70, 85, 93, 98, in Ho- 
 mer; 38, 85, 30, 41, 64, 98, in Solon ; 20, 36, 51, 86, 91, 99, in 
 Yir-gil ; and 1, 16, 37, 49, 53 and 62, in Cincinnatus, were set apart 
 for the foregoing purpose. 
 
 TJ\e.firgt settlements of the County were made at Homer in 1791, 
 in Yirgil and Cortland ville in 1794, and in other towns before the 
 commencement of the present century. Being remote from the 
 great, routes of travel, its settlement advanced more slowly than 
 the more distant Genesee Valley, whose fertility attracted the pio- 
 neers of this remote region. The early settlers were from the 
 Eastern States, and their habits of industry and frugality, as well 
 as their religious principles, have been impressed upon the present 
 generation, and are seen in their schools, academies and churches, 
 which form so prominent a feature in the County. The early set- 
 tlers were not entirely free from fear of Indian massacres, which 
 had so often desolated the homes of other settlers, and sent a thrill 
 of horror through their hearts almost as great as if actual hostilities 
 were being carried on. The wild beasts often robbed them of a 
 portion of their flocks and herds as well as of their growing crops, 
 and long weary journeys were made to mill and to market, over 
 roads impassable to all except the most daring. But these difficul- 
 ties have passed away, mills Jhave sprung up in all parts, good , 
 roads intersect the County in all directions, and the Iron Horse has 
 placed the citizens within a few hours ride of the great metropolis of 
 the nation; all this has been accomplished within little more than

 When the tocsin of war sounded in April, 1861, the inhabitants of 
 Cortland County were engaged in the peaceful pursuits of agricul- 
 ture. Like the great mass of American citizens, war had no charms 
 for them. But when the Stars and Stripes, the emblem of our Na-

 tion's freedom and glory, was stricken down by traitor bands, the 
 descendants of Revolutionary sires " rallied around the Flag," and 
 from every bill-top and every valley went forth the cry, " The Un- 
 ion, it must and shall be preserved." *The census reports about 
 one thoiisand as having volunteered to leave the comforts of .home 
 and the society of friends for the camp and the battle-field, that they 
 might preserve to their posterity the blessings of civil and religious 
 liberty bequeathed to us by our fathers. Nearly one-fourth of that 
 number are reported as having been killed in battle or died from 
 injuries received while in the service. While shafts of marble and 
 granite arise to commemorate the deeds of our fallen countrymen, 
 let us who survive see to it that we do not allow the enemies of our 
 country to gain at the ballot-box what they failed to gain upon the 
 battle-field, but that " Union and Liberty, now and forever, one and 
 inseparable," may ever be inscribed on our Nation's banner.

 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 
 
 CINCIJnfATUS was formed from Solon, April 8, 1804. 
 It embraced the original township of Cincinnatus, or No. 25 of the 
 Military Tract. The present town embraces one-fourth of the 
 original township of 100 lots, or 64,000 acres, Freetown, Willett 
 and Marathon having been taken from it in 1818. It is situated on 
 the east border of the County, south of the center. The surface 
 consists of the valley of the Otselic River and of the ridges which 
 rise upon each side. Nearly the whole surface of the town is di- 
 vided into steep ridges by the deep ravines, through which flow the 
 tributaries of the Otselic, extending far into the interior. The soil 
 is generally a gravelly loam, not as fertile as in some other sec- 
 tions, but well adapted to grazing. Lots 1, 16, 37, 49, 53 and 62, 
 of this township, were set apart for the support of the Gospel and 
 schools. 
 
 Cincinnatus, (p. v.,) situated on the Otselic Creek, contains three 
 churches, viz.. Congregational, Methodist and Baptist, an academy, 
 two hotels, two tanneries, a foundry, a gristmill, a sawmill, and 
 about 550 inhabitants. Cincinnatus Academy was .built in 1856, 
 and is under the Principalship of Q. E. Babcock, A; M. It is now 
 in a flourishing condition. 
 
 Lower Cincinnatus is a small village about a mile south of Cin- 
 cinnatus Village, and contains a church, a hotel, several shops and 
 about 200 inhabitants. 
 
 The first settlement of this town was commenced by Ezra and 
 Thadeus Rockwell, from Lenox, Mass. Ezra settled on lot 1^, in 
 1795, and Thadeus on lot 9, the same year. Zurial ilaymj^d, 
 from Williamstown, Mass., came in about the same time and set- 
 tled on lot 29, on a revolutionary claim which he received through 
 his wife. John Kingman was another of the early settlers^ a native 
 df Massachusetts. He came in and located on lot 19, in 1795, and

 worked during the Mpclearing his land, and ift the evening worked 
 at his trade, shoemaking. Dr. John McWhorter, from Oxford, 
 Chenango County, was also among the first settlers. He married 
 Miss Katy Young, step-daughter of Mr. Eaymon^ This was the 
 first wedding in the town, and as there was no oM authorized to 
 marry in the town, a clergyman from Oxford was^ixployed ; but 
 on his arrival another difficulty arose ; the clergymaB^Js^as not au- 
 thorized to marry outside of Chg^ngo County. To obviate this 
 difficulty the party started-'for dRnango County, and when they 
 supposed they were over the border, the ceremony was performed 
 in the open air, in the midst of the forept. Samuel Vining was an- 
 other early settler, as were also Phineas Sargent, Jesse Locke and 
 Ebenezer Crittenden. Charles DeBille, from Berkshire County, 
 Mass., settled on lot 9, in 1797. 
 
 During the first few years afber the settlement, the Indians were 
 accustomed to visit the Otselic Valley. In 1796, forty of the 
 Oneidas camped upon the site of the village, and, during the fall 
 and winter, killed forty-two bears. The oil preserved was used for 
 cooking purposes. The Indians were uniformly peaceable and well 
 disposed towards the whites. 
 
 The first merchants were James Tanner and Elijah Bliss. Col. 
 John Kingman kept the first inn and erected the first store. The 
 first frame house was erected by Dr. John McWhorter, about 1802; 
 and the first school was taught by Miss Hepsy Beebe. The first 
 death was that of Daniel Hartshorn, in 1796. The first birth was 
 that of Sally Rockwell, in 1796. The first sermon preached within 
 the limits of the town was by Rev. Dr. Williston, in a log barn, 
 from the text, " Hear Ye." The first church (Presbyterian) was 
 organized at a much later day by a union of the people of several of 
 the adjacent towns. Previous to 1798 the citizens were compelled 
 to go to Chenango Forks, Ludlowville, or Manlius Square, to have 
 their grinding done, transporting their grists on drays drawn by 
 oxen. These drays were made of the crotches of trees, with a few 
 pieces of board attached to them by wooden pins. They were 
 from six to eiato feet in length, and eight or ten bushels made a 
 very respectab^Road for one pair of oxen. 
 
 The population of the town in 1810 was 1,525, but the town at 
 that time embraced about four times the amount of territory con- 
 tained in it now. The population in 1865 was 1,169, and its area 
 15,819 acres. 
 
 CpBTLANDVILLJE was formed from Homer, April 11, 
 182!#,''and embraces the south half of the original township of Ho- 
 mer and a small portion of the north-east corner of Virgil. The 
 name was applied to the town from its being the County Seat of 
 Cortland County. It is situated on the west border of the County,

 but extdiis east to the center. The east and west branches of the 
 Tioughnioga River unite in this town. A considerable portion of 
 the surface is level, but the eastern and southern parts are hilly. 
 An observer, standing upon an eminence a short distance west of 
 Cortland Village, can see seven distinct valleys, separated by 
 ranges of hills, radiating in different directions. The ridges rise 
 from 200 to 400 feet above the valleys. The southern part of the 
 town is a broken upland region, the hill* being arable to their sum- 
 mits. The Tioughnioga River receives as tributaries in this town. 
 Trout Brook from the east, and Dry and Otter Brooks from the 
 west. A part of the western portion of the town is drained by 
 streams flowing west to Cayuga Lake. In the south-west part of 
 the town are three small ponds, fed by springs, and furnishing a 
 large amount of marl, from which an excellent quality of lime is 
 produced. The marl, as it comes from the ponds, is generally of 
 an ash color, but whitens on exposure to the air. When partially 
 dried it is moulded into tJie form of bricks, which are thoroughly 
 dried and burned. In sOTie places this marl is twenty feet thick. 
 The soil along the Tioughnioga^ River is a rich alluvium ; on the 
 higher lands it is a gravelly and argillaceous loam. 
 
 Cortland Village, (p. v.) incorporated in 1853, and special char- 
 ter obtained in 1864, is the County Seat of Cortland County, and 
 situated on the Syracuse, Binghamton and New York Railroad, 
 about midway between Binghamton and Syracuse, The main 
 street ^xtends nearly north and south, and is about one mile in 
 length. The streets and walks are wide and ornamented with shade 
 trees, and the main street is well paved. There are many neat and 
 beautiful residences in various parts of the village, with grounds or- 
 namented with flowers and shrubbery, which add greatly to the ap- 
 pearance of the village. There are five churches, three printing 
 offices, three banks, State Normal School building, four hotels, sev- 
 eral stores, manufactories, &c., and about 3,500 inhabitants. The 
 streets are lighted with gas. 
 
 The State Normal School is located on a beautiful site in this vil- 
 lage. We are indebted to the Hon. Charles Foster for the follow- 
 ing description of this magnificent structure: |^ 
 
 The Legislature of 1866 authorized any county, city or village, 
 to make propositions to a Commission composed of certain State 
 Officers, to furnish buildings, sites, &c., for a Normal School, to be 
 located in such county, city or village, and authorized the Commis- 
 sion to accept not to exceed four of such propositions. In Novem- 
 ber, 1866, the village of Cortland made a proposition which was 
 accepted by the Commission, and in the spring of 1867 the village 
 commenced the erection of the buildings proposed, and they will be 
 completed by the first of October, 1868. The site is in the central 
 ; part of the village and consists of nearly four acres. The school

 building is composed of a main or center building, 8-^44 feet, 
 with a wing 40x36 feet on either side, and at the end of each of 
 these wings is a building, parallel with the main building, 36x72 
 feet. The basement extends under the whole, and rises five feet 
 above the grade. The building is two stories above the basement, 
 of brict, with a French or Mansard roof, furnishing a third story. 
 The central or end buildings are each surmounted by a dome. The 
 top of the center dome is about sixty-four feet above the grade. 
 Two towers, one upon either side of the main building, rise ninety- 
 six feet above the grade. The extreme length of the entire struc- 
 ture is two hundred and twenty-six feet, ^e basepient contains 
 kitchen, pantries, cellars, laundries, and steam heating apparatus 
 and steam force pump. The first and second floors are occupied 
 for school and recitation rooms, family rooms, &c. The third 
 floor under. the center dome is furnished for a gymnasium, and the 
 remainder of this story is divided into smaller rooms, to be used as 
 dormitories, bath rooms, &c., for the students who may board in the 
 building. Steam is used for heating a|| rooms on the first and 
 second floors. Water is carried through all the building by force 
 pumps, and each story is supplied with hose to be used in case of 
 fire. All the main rooms and the dormitories are carefully ventila- 
 ted, and gas is supplied for lights. This school is to be managed 
 by a local Board of citizens, the State furnishing them yearly $12,- 
 000 for expenses, this Board being subject to the supervision of the 
 State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The school will prob- 
 ably be divided into primary, intermediate, normal and academi- 
 cal departments, so that a child may commence its education within 
 its walls and graduate as teacher from the normal department. 
 Tuition in all the department's, except the academical, will be free. 
 The building and site are furnished by the village of Cortland at a 
 cost of about $90,000. The construction has been carried on un- 
 der the supervision and control of the Village Trustees, as a corpo- 
 rate matter. The whole expense of this enterprise, to the comple- 
 tion of the building and its acceptance by the State, rests entirely 
 upon this public spirited village. 
 
 Cortlandville Academy. — We are indebted to Hon. Horatio Bal- 
 ftrd for the following article in re'lation to the Cortlandville Acad- 
 emy : 
 
 Public instruction commenced in this Institution on the 24th day 
 of August, 1842. The first report to the Eegehts bears date thte 
 3d day of January, 1843, and on the 3lst day of January, of the 
 same year', it was incorporated. It soon took rank among the best 
 academies of the State, and its high standing has been maintained. 
 Many of the most promising young men in the country have gone 
 forth from this Institution. Three times the building has been en- 
 larged to make room for the increasing number of students. The 
 
OSZETTEEB OF TOWNS. 75 
 
 average attendance is ov^ two hundred each term. Located at the 
 County Seat, in a village unsurpassed in beauty, and in the midst 
 of a population di«tinguished for enterprise and intelligence, it has 
 exerted an extended and elevating influence in this and adjacent 
 counties. Three members of the Board of Trustees formed in 1842, 
 viz., Henry Stephens, Horatio Ballard and Jas. C. Pomeroy, are 
 still members. The following is the present Faculty : 
 
 Prof. J. J. Pease Principal, 
 
 " Harkness Associate " 
 
 Miss L. Porter Preceptress. 
 
 " Hattie S. Curtis Associate " 
 
 " Libbie D. (!urtis Intermediate Department. 
 
 " Martha Eoe Primary " 
 
 Bates Teacher of Music. < 
 
 Under the administration of these teachers the prospects of the 
 school are unabated. 
 
 The site ultimately seUpted for the State Normal School joins the 
 site on which the Academy is located. On the 13th of July, 1867, 
 the Trustees of the Academy passed a resolution in favor of adding 
 the Academy lot to the site of the Normal School building, upon 
 the condition that an Academic Department be maintained in the 
 Normal School building. It is expected that the Academy will 
 thus be transferred to the Normal School building, and there be 
 continued under the patronage and at the expense of the State. 
 
 Messenger Hall. — Akin to the institutions of learning in the vil- 
 lage of Cor£land, is the beautiful Hall in the Messenger Block, on 
 the west aide of Main street. This Hall is gorgeously decorated 
 and fitted up with all the modern improvements. It is fifty-five 
 feet square. The following remarks taken from an address deliv- 
 ered at it^ dedication, by Hon. Horatio Ballard, will give a good 
 idea of its object and design : 
 
 " We are here to celebrate the completion of this magnificent 
 Hall ; and we do so because it is an event which illustrates the ma- 
 terial growth and prosperity of this beautiful town. He saw the 
 business of this town demanded more room, and he projected the 
 erection of this block, which liftsdts majestic proportions to the 
 sight and embraces this splendid Hall. And for this edifice, grand 
 in size, elegant in finish, useful in arrangement, durable in structure, 
 we would Ewe record our thanks and tender our gratitude to our 
 noble citizen, Hiram J. Messenger. It is a monument of his genius, 
 his taste and his liberality. He has connected his memory with 
 the beat specimens of architecture, and the most superb styles of 
 internal finish, as the exquisite work on this lofty Hall fully attests. 
 And while it is now dedicated to the use of public assemblies, let 
 us hope that its fair walls may hereafter be assodated in the mem-

 ory with all that is exalted in intellect andJattraotive in truth. Free 
 discussion in the public halls of the land is one of the most power- 
 ful agencies to purify, to strengthen and perpetuate our civil and 
 religious liberties. We will hold this place consecrated to these 
 high purposes — to the cause of Liberty and Union." 
 
 The Court House is a substantial brick building, standing upon 
 the corner of Church and Court streets. The Jail is of hewn stone 
 and stands in the rear of the Court House ; and the Clerk's Office, 
 of brick, stands on the west side of Main street. 
 
 The manufacturing establishments of the village consists of a 
 foundry, machine cooperage, oil mill, grist mill, two planing mills, 
 a sash, door and blind factory, a pottery, a woolen factory, two car- 
 riage factories, a saw mill and several mechanic shops. The foun- 
 dry is devoted chiefly to the manufacture of agricultural imple- 
 ments, and employs about twenty men. 
 
 Kinne's Machine Cooperage was commenced in 1843, and run 
 with varied success until 1859, when Trapp's Patent Barrel Ma- 
 chinery was introduced. The present o\«|er, C. W. Kinne, came 
 in posses»ion in 1861. In 1863 a new bunding was erected. The 
 motire power is water, with a 35 horse-power steam engine. The 
 Factory is turning out about 17,000 butter packages and $8,000 
 worth of churns annually. The present year the proprietor has 
 commenced the manufacture of cheese boxes and scale boards. It 
 is giving employment to 15 men constantly. The Oil Mill has two 
 hydraulic presses and is capable of running 100 bushels of seed per 
 day. The Planing Mills prepare lumber for any purpose for 
 which it is used about a building. The Mill is both a Grist and 
 Flouring Mill, and capable of running from 300 to 400 bushels of 
 grain p»r day. Thei"e is also a very extensive Lumber Yard, near 
 the depot, in the east part of the village. 
 
 Daily lines of stages run from this •"illage to Groton, Ithaca, 
 Norwich and Pitcher ; and a tri-weekly line to Virgil. 
 
 The Cortland Silver Cornet Band is an organization of this vil- 
 lage. 
 
 Cortland has an efficient Fire Department, consisting of three 
 separate organizations, viz.. Water Witch Co., Excelsior Hook and 
 Ladder Co. No. 1, and Water Witch Hose Co. No. 1. The Water 
 Witch Company was organized June 14, 1854, and numbers about 
 forty members. Excelsior Hook and Ladder was organized De- 
 cember 10, 1864, and numbers about fifty members. Water Witch 
 Hose Company No. 1 was organized in 1863, and consisted of 
 twenty members, the present number is twenty-five. 
 
 The Young MerCs Christian Association was organized in 1868, 
 for the development of Christian character and the promotion of 
 Evangelical Religion, and especially for the improvement of the 
 mental, moral and spiritual condition of young men.

 The first settler of Cortlandville was John Miller, ^ native of 
 New Jersey, but more recently from Binghamton. He located on 
 lot 56, in 1792. In 1794 Jonathan Hubbard and Moses Hopkins 
 came in, Mr. Hubbard locating on the site of Cortland Village and 
 Mr. Hopkins settling on lot 64, one mile west. Thomas Wilcox, • 
 from Whitestown, located on lot 64, in 1795, and Eeuben Doud 
 on lot 75. James Scott, John Morse and Levi Lee, located upon 
 the same lot ; and Dr. Lewis S. Owen, from Albany, on lot 66. 
 During the years 1796-97, Aaron Knapp settled on lot 55, and 
 Enoch Hotchkiss on lot 76. Samuel Crittenden and Eber Stone, 
 from Connecticut, located on lot 66. Mr. C. came with an ox 
 team and was twenty-five days on the road. Samuel Ingles and 
 his son Samuel came from Columbia county in 1798, and located 
 on lot 75 ; and in 1800, Wilmot Sperry came from "Woodbridg^ 
 Conn., and located on lot 73. Wm. Mallery,from Columbia coun- 
 ty, came in 1803. Samuel McGraw, from whom McGrawville de- 
 rived its name, came from New Haven, Conn., to Cortlandville, in 
 1803, and located on lot 87, purchasing 100 acres. In 1809 he re- 
 moved to McGrawville and purchased 200 acres. He had a large 
 family, eight sons and four daughters. David Merrick came from 
 Massachusetts in 1800, and located on lot 44. In 1797 he went to 
 Whitestown to purchase a tavern stand and one hundred acres of 
 land, then valued at three hundred dollars. He left without mak- 
 ing the purchase, but went to Whitestown the next year to close a 
 trade, and learned that the property was then valued at ten thou- 
 sand dollars. 
 
 The first inn was kept by Samuel Ingles, in 1810, on the site of 
 the Barnard Block ; and the first school, on the present site of the 
 Eagle Hotel. The first grist mill was erected by Jonathan Hub- 
 bard, in 1779. 
 
 The first church (Baptist) was organized Oct. 3d, 1801. There 
 has been some dispute as to this subject, but it appears from an 
 old record by Judge Keep, dated Oct. 3d, 1801, that _" a council 
 convened at Homer, at the request of a number of Baptist brethren, 
 for the purpose of organizing a Baptist Church." This was the first 
 church organization in the County. Eev. Mr. Hotchkin, in his 
 History of the Presbyterian Church in Western New York, says 
 the first organization was Oct. 12th, 1801, and that it was a Con- 
 gregational Church. This old record of Judge Keep appears to 
 settle the question. The number of members at the time of the 
 organizatioa was sixteen ; the present number ia 312. The first 
 church edifice of the First Baptist Church was erected in 1811 ; it 
 stood between the villages of Cortland and Homer, and was occu- 
 pied until 1833, when the present building was erected in Cortland 
 Village.

 The first Methodist meeting was held at the house of Jonathan 
 Hubbard, in 1804. A sermon was preached by Rev. Samuel Hill, 
 and subsequently a class was formed of ten members. This was 
 the germ of the Centenary M. E. Church, which now numbers 400 
 members. Their first church edifice was erected in 1821 and was 
 occupied until 1867, when their present building was erected. It 
 is a substantial brick structure, ninety-seven feet by sixty, and one 
 hundred and thirteen feet to the top of the spire. The cost was 
 $25,000. 
 
 Grace Church (Episcopal) was organized in 1859, with fifteen 
 members, and the church edifice was erected the same year. The 
 present number forty. 
 
 The Uhiversalist Church was organized in February, 1835, with 
 101 members. Their house of worship was erected in 1837, and 
 is a substantial ?tone structure, the basement of which is owned 
 by the town and used as a Town Hall. 
 
 At an early day the people of Cortland turned their attention to 
 the subject of education, as the following record will show. It is 
 given just as it was found in the Book of Records : 
 
 "Homer November 20—1806.

 School District in Homer [now Cortland]

 At another meeting we find the following :

 From such small teginnings their march hag been onward and 
 upward until the youth of Cortland are now permitted to attend, 
 within the shadow of their own homes, some of the best institutions 
 of learning in the State. 
 
 The populaUon of the town in 1865 was 5,008 and its area 31,1 19 
 acres. 
 
 Among the distinguished men who have at various times re- 
 sided in this town is Samuel Nelson, Justice of the Supireme 
 Court of the United States. He was born in Hebron, Washington 
 County, Nov. 10, 1792. He was sent to the district school at an 
 early age, where he made commendable progress. He fitted for 
 "college in Salem and at the Granville Academy, then in charge of 
 the distinguished Salem Town. He entered Middlebury College 
 in 1811 and graduated in 1813, at the age of twenty-one. He 
 adopted the legal profession and studied law in Salem, and was ad- 
 mitted to the Bar in 1817, and soon after located in Cortland Vil- 
 lage. His talents soon won for him an enviable position among his 
 associates. In 1823 he was appointed one of the Circuit Judges, 
 and in 1831 he was appointed to the Bench of the Supreme Court 
 of the State. In 1837 he was appointed Chief Justice of the State 
 of New York. He filled this position with distinguished ability 
 until 1845, when he was appointed Associate JtMitioe of the Su- 
 preme Court of the United States, a position which he still holds. 
 His career upon the Bench has been characterized by honesty, firm- 
 ness, discretion and liberal equity. His great learning, eloquence 
 and genius, have secured for him a pre-eminence in his profession, 
 affording an illustrious example for the ambitious youth of our 
 country. His present residence is Cooperstown, N. Y. 
 
 Ira Harrm was born in Charleston, Montgomery County, May 
 31, 1802. His parents removed to Cortland County in 1808, and 
 located on Preble Flats. He remained with his father, alternately 
 working upon the farm and attending the district school until he 
 was seventeen years old, when he entered Cortland Academy at 
 Homer, where he pursued the studies which enabled him to enter 
 the Junior Class of Union College in September, 1822. He grad- 
 uated with the highest honors in 1824, and immediately entered 
 upon the study of law in Cortland Village, where he remained one 
 year. He then directed his course to Albany and in two years was 
 admitted to the Bar. During the succeeding twenty years he rose 
 to an enviable position among the most distinguished of the Albany 
 Bar. In 1847 he was appointed to the Bench of the Supreme 
 Court, which position he held until 1861, when he was elected to 
 the United States Senate for %vs, years. He was elected to the As- 
 sembly of the State in 1844 and 1845. He was elected to the 
 Constitutional Convention in 1846, and was also a member of the 
 Convention in 1867. While in the United States Senate he served

 on several important committees, and was one of the National Com- 
 mittee appointed to accompany the remains of President Lincoln 
 to Illinois. 
 
 CUYLEB was formed from Truxton, November 18, 1858. 
 It is the north-east corner town of the County. The surface is a 
 broken and hilly upland. The east branch of the Tioughnioga 
 River enters the town near the north-east corner and flows diagon- 
 ally across, leaving near the center of the east line. The other 
 streams are small brooks, and most of them tributaries of the Ti- 
 oughnioga. Muncey Hill, near the center, is the highest land in 
 the town, and is a wild, broken region, poorly adapted to cultiva- 
 tion. The soil is chiefly a sandy and gravelly loam. 
 
 Cuyler, (p. v.) situated a little north of the center of the town, 
 contains a Methodist Church, a hotel, several mechanic shops and 
 about 200 inhabitants. 
 
 Keeney Settlement, situate on the north line of the town, contains 
 a Baptist Church and about a dozen houses. 
 
 The first settlement of this town was made in 1794, by Nathaniel 
 Potter, who removed from Saratoga County with a wife and a 
 daughter five weeks old. He settled on Jot 96, paying one dollar 
 and ten cents an acre for his land. He was killed in 1798 by the 
 fall of a tree ; his little boy about five years old was with him at 
 the time. Mrs. Joseph Keeler was the first to find him, crushed 
 beneath a large tree, but still alive. He asked for water and was 
 supplied by Mrs. Keeler, taking his hat as the only substitute for a 
 pail. He then requested her to pray with him, but this request 
 was not granted. The daughter of Mr, Potter is the mother of 
 Stephen Patrick, and now lives with Wesley PatriGl^%this town. 
 Mr. Morse was a soldier of the Eevolution and dreW Jot 87, upon 
 which he located. He came from New Jersey. James Lockwood 
 came with him from Pennsylvania. They came in a canoe up the 
 Tioughnioga River, and then took an ox team to their place of des- 
 tination. Joseph Keeler and brother settled on the same lot. 
 Isaac Brown settled on lot 99, about the year 1806, and Zebadiah 
 Gates on lot 88 in 1807. Charles Vincent settled on lot 78 in 
 ] 806, and James Vincent in 1800. Jesse Blanchard settled on lot 
 66 in 1798, and Benjamin Brown, from Connecticut, settled on lot 
 57 in 1795. Daniel Page settled on lot 79, where widow Hinds 
 now lives. James Dorwood, from Rhinebeck, came into the town 
 in 1806. He was an ingenious mechanic and is said to have built 
 the first carding machine in the State. He was a native of Scotland, 
 and left his native country when eighteen years of age to avoid be- 
 ing drafted into the army by King George III. Huldah Dorwood, 
 now 97 years of age, lives in the town. Jacob HoUenbeck and 
 John Brown settled on lot 77 in 1806-8. Thomas Fairbanks, from

 Theodore E, Hart kept the first store. The first school was 
 taught by Miss Betsey Curran, in 1807. The first birth was that 
 of Dr. Charles Barnes ; the first marriage that of Obed Graves and 
 Alice Munroe ; and the first death that of Mrs. Dorastus DeWolf. 
 Nathan Heaton built the first grist-mill in 1814, and Lewis Moore 
 kept the first inn. Rev. Seth Williston was the first preacher, and 
 the first religious services were held in 1804. The first church 
 (Baptist) was organized in 1815. The first post-oflS.ce was estab- 
 lished in 1825j the place being then called Worthington, but was 
 subsequently changed to Harford. 
 
 The first church edifice erected in this town was a Union church, 
 erected in 1832-3 by Methodists, Congregationalists arid Univer- 
 salists. It was dedicated in the fall of 1833. Organizations af 
 these denominations had existed for several years previous to the 
 erection of the church. In 1857 the Methodists erected a church 
 for themselves, and this is now the only chufch used regularly for 
 church purposes in the town. Rev. I. Lord is the present pastor. 
 
 The population in 1865 was 888, and its area 13,886 acres. 
 
 HOMEJEt was formed March 5, 1794. Solon was taken off 
 in 1798, Virgil in 1804 and Cortland ville in 1829. It lies upon the 
 west border of the County, a little ndrth of the center. The sur- 
 face is uneven and consists of the valleys of the two branches of 
 the Tioughnioga River and the ridges which border upon them. 
 The valley of the western branch is about a mile in width and ele- 
 vated 1,096 feet above tide. The eastern valley is narrower. The 
 two valleys are separated by a ridge of hills from 200 to 500 feet 
 above the river, and another similar ridge occupies the south-east- 
 ern corner of the town. The western part of the town is a hilly 
 upland, 1,500 to 1,600 feet above tide. The Tioughnioga receives 
 Cold and Factory Brooks from the west, which are its chief tribu- 
 taries. The valleys of these streams open into corresponding val- 
 leys to the northward, through which iiow streams emptymg into 
 Otisco and Skaneateles Lakes. The soil upon the river flats is a 
 deep, rich alluvial loam, well adapted to tillage ; upon the highlands 
 it is a sandy and gravelly loam, better adapted to pasturage. 
 
 Homer, (p. v.) incorporated May 11, 1835, is finely Situated on 
 the Tioughnioga River and is a station on the Syracuse, Bingham- 
 ton and New York Railroad. It contains four churches, an acade- 
 my, a newspaper office, a bank, three hotels, several manufactories 
 and about 2,000 inhabitants. -The streets and walks are very broad 
 and ornamented with beautiful shade trees, which add much to the 
 general appearance of the village. There are many very pretty 
 residences and some very fine business blocks. The main street 
 extends nearly north and south, is about a mile in length and em- 
 braces most of the business part of the village. Near the center of 
 
86 QAZETTEEB OF TOWNS, 
 
 the village is a beautiful park, upon the west side of which stand 
 the Baptist, Methodist, Congregational and Episcopal churches, 
 and the Cortland Academy, all facing the park. The streets are 
 lighted with gas. 
 
 Cortland Academy was incorporated February 4, 1819. The 
 course of study includes all the branches usually taught in the 
 common schools, in our best academies, and most of the studies 
 pursued in our colleges. The library numbers over fifteen hun- 
 dred volumes of choice works in the various departments of litera- 
 ture and science. The philosophical and chemical apparatus is am- 
 ple for illustrating the principles of these sciences. The geological 
 and mineralogical cabinet has been much enlarged by the liberality 
 of the President of the Academy, and now includes a complete suit 
 of rocks and minerals of this State, and many foreign specimens of 
 great beauty and value. The library, apparatus and cabinet are ar- 
 ranged in a room which has been elegantly fitted up by the citizens 
 of the village and is always open to visitors. A new edifice is in 
 process of erection which will be an ornament to the village and an 
 honor to its projectors. The new edifice occupies the site of the 
 old one, is of brick, ninety-six feet long, and its greatest width 
 seventy-two feet. The corners of the end projections and of the 
 central tower are of hewn stone. The main entrance in the tower 
 is finished in the same way and arched. The windows are all sur- 
 mounted by cut stone. The lower story is for the heating apparat- 
 us and for chemical and lecture rooms. The second story is for the 
 library, the cabinet, the mathematical and two large study rooms. 
 The third story is for chapel and four study and recitation rooms. 
 A Mansard roof gives room in the fourth story for two ante-rooms 
 and a large hall with a central height of twenty-six feet. There are 
 two rear entrances with stair-cases communicating with every story. 
 George Almy is the architect. 
 
 The village contains two public halls. 
 
 Barber's Hall is seventy-five feet by eighty, finished in the most 
 elaborate style and capable of seating 1,000 persons. It is one of 
 the finest halls in Central New York. 
 
 Wheadon Mall is forty by fifty feet in size and capable of seating 
 about 700 or 800 people. 
 
 Homer Flouring and ' Gristmill is situated on the west bank of 
 the Tioughnioga River, near the center of the village. . It is owned 
 by Messrs. Darby & Son, and is capable of grinding about 300 
 bushels per day. 
 
 An Oil MiH, located in the south-west part of the village, is do- 
 ing a good business. 
 
 The Edge Tool Manufactory of R. Blanshan & Co., upon the 
 east bank of the river, is run by steam and manufactures all kinds 
 of edge tools of an excellent quality. 
 
OAZETTEEB OF TOWHS. 87 
 
 A Marble Factory, near the depot, turns out very nice work. 
 A Brewery, upon " Brewery Hill," is doing a fair business. 
 A Flax and Cordage Mill is located a little outside of the corpo- 
 ration, owned by John L. Boorum. This mill produces about a 
 tun of cotton cordage per day, and manufactures the flax from 
 about 1,000 acres per year, valued at forty dollars per acre. There 
 are fifteen tenar.t houses connected with the factory which employs 
 about thirty-five hands. 
 
 Glen Wood Cemetery occupies an elevated position about half a 
 mile west fcf the village. The grounds include about thirty acres, 
 are laid out with much taste and overlook the villages of Homer 
 and Cortland, and a large extent of surrounding country. The 
 Cemetery is under the control of an association organized February 
 21, 1862. 
 
 Homer Mechanical Brass Band was organized in 1865, and fur- 
 nishes music for all occasions. 
 
 East Homer, (p. v.) situated in the east part of the town, near 
 the Tioughnioga River, contains a church (M. E.,) a hotel, a 
 blacksmith shop, a carpenter and wagon shop, a school house and 
 about 150 inhabitants. The church was erected in 1841 and dedi- 
 cated in 1842. Rev. H. Hawley was the first pastor. 
 
 Hibbard's Butter and Cheese Factory is situated about one-half 
 mile north-east of East Homer. The building was erected in 1866 ■ 
 and is thirty feet by one hundred and twenty, and ,two stories high. 
 The milk of from 300 to 500 cows is used, and from 20,000 to 37,- 
 000 pounds of butter, and from 55,000 to 100,000 pounds of cheese 
 are made annually. The heating of the vats and the churning are 
 done by steam. Twenty churns can be run at a time »nd thirty 
 cheeses pressed. 
 
 Carpenter ville, situated on the east branch of the Tioughnioga 
 River, about four miles from Cortland Village, contains a gristmill, 
 a sawmill, a wagon shop, a blacksmith shop, two turning shops and 
 about a dozen houses. 
 
 Mr. V. Carpenter, on lot 47, has a fine trout pond, well stocked 
 with fish of all sizes from the smallest size to two pounds in "weight. 
 
 Little York, (p. v.) situated on the west branch of Tioughnioga 
 River, in the north part of the town, contains a hotel, a store, a very 
 fine school house, a gristmill, a sawmill, a peg factory, a wagon shop 
 and about twenty dwellings. 
 
 Homer Cheese Factory is situated about one and a half miles 
 from Homer Village, it was erected in 1864 and uses the milk of 
 from 600 to 1200 cows. The building is 175 feet by 32, and two 
 stories high. In 1865, 573,868 pounds of cheese were made ; in 
 1866, 382,579 pounds; and in 1867,233,571 pounds were made. 
 
 The first settlement of this town, and of Cortland County, was 
 made in 1791, by Spencer Beebe and his brother-in-law, Amos 
 
88 OAZETTEBE OF TOWNS. 
 
 Todd. They emigrated from New Haven, Conn., in 1789, and lo- 
 cated at Windsor, Broome County. In the fall of 1791 they settled 
 a little north of Homer Village. Mrs. Beebe was the only female 
 who accompanied them. Their first residence was composed of 
 poles and was twelve by fifteen feet. Previous to its. completion 
 their team strayed away and Messrs. Beebe and Todd both went in 
 pursuit, lea'^ing Mrs. B. alone for three days, with no protection 
 but the four walls of their cabin, without roof or floor, and only a 
 blanket fastened by forks for a door. Without, the howling wolf 
 and screaming panther made night hideous. During the following 
 winter the husband and the brother of Mrs. Beebe again left her to 
 return to Windsor for their goods, and were snow-bound for six 
 weeks, during "which time she was the sole occupant of her lonely 
 cabin and the only human being within a circuit of thirty miles. 
 Their goods were brought up the river in a boat. At Binghamton 
 they were joined by John Miller, who assisted them in removing 
 obstructions and propelling the boat. Where the water was too 
 shallow for the boat it was drawn across by the oxen. Mr. Todd 
 located on lot 42. In the ipring of 1792 John House, James Mat- 
 thews, Jam^s Moore, Silas and Daniel Miller, came from Bingham- 
 ton. Squire Miller located on lot 56 and Mr. Matthews on the same 
 lot. Darius Kinney came from Brimfiel'd, Mass., in 1793, and lo- 
 cated on the east river. Thomas L. and Jacob Bishop located on 
 lot 25 in 1795, and Thomas Wilcox on lot 64. John Keep, Solo- 
 mon and John Hubbard, came from Massachusetts and settled, 
 Mr. Keep on lot 56, Solomon Hubbard on lot 25, and John on 
 lot 26. 
 
 The first male child born in the town was Homer Moore, and the 
 first female, Betsey House. The first death was that of Mrs. 
 Thomas Gould Alvord, in 1795 ; and the first marriage that of Za- 
 doo Strong and Widow Eussell. The first school house was built 
 a little north of Homer village'in 1798, and the first teacher was 
 Joshua Ballard. Enos Stimson kept the first inn and John Coats 
 the first store. Jedediah Barber was the first permanent and suc- 
 cessful merchant. The first gristmill was built in 1798 by John 
 Keep, Solomon Hubbard and Asa White. Luther Rice was the 
 first physician and Townsend Ross was the first lawyer and post- 
 master. Prof. W. B. Beck was the first daguerreiap artist and 
 built the first daguerreian carriage in the State. 
 
 In 1798 forty dollars and seventy-eight cents were appropriated 
 for the common schools of the town. The annual town meeting 
 was held at Mr. Miller's house, April 8, 1796. John Miller was 
 elected supervisor and Peter Ingersoll town clerk. In 1796 it was 
 voted ' that every man make his own pound. That hogs run at large 
 without yokes or rings. That fences be made four feet and a half 
 high, and not to exceed four inches between logs or poles.' In 1797 
 
0AZETTBEB Off TOWNS. 89 
 
 it was agreed by a unanimous vote ' that every man in the town 
 may provide his own pound for every creature that does him dam- 
 age, and yet be entitled to damage the same as at the town pound, 
 and that hogs be free commoners.' In 1798 a wolfs scalp com- 
 manded a premium of from five to ten dollars, according to size ; 
 that of a bear, five dollars ; a panther ten dollars, and fox fifty 
 cents. The population of Homer in 1797 was ninety-two. 
 
 In 1815 William Sherman came to Homer and erected a ma- 
 chine shop for the manufacture of nails, the machinery being so 
 constructed as to feed, cut, head and stamp the letter S on the head 
 of each nail, without any hand work. This was the first of the kind 
 in the State of Ntrf" York. Iron was very high at that time and 
 fourpenny nails were worth twenty-five cents a pound. Mr. Sher- 
 man also engaged in the manufacture of oil. In 1827 he erected 
 the " Homer Exchange " store in which for nearly thirty years he 
 conducted a heavy mercantile trade. 
 
 John Hubbard, the father of Simon Hubbard, was one of the 
 early settlers ; he located here in 1794. The first millstone ever 
 used in Cortland County was taken from the farm now owned by 
 Simon Hubbard. The place from which it was taken is distinctly 
 visible at this time. William Blashfield came from Hampden 
 County, Mass., in 1802, and helped to clear the land upon which 
 Homer village is located. Mr. Blashfield died in 1864, upon the 
 farm where he had lived for forty-seven years. Mrs. Electa Ho- 
 bert came in 1800, and has lived sixty years upon the same farm, 
 known as the Hobert farm. Mr. Gideon Hobart, whose name was 
 formerly Hoar, came to this town in 1799, with an ox team, from 
 Brimfield, Mass; Harvey Fairbanks, one of the early settlers, is 
 still alive, and has lived for fifty-three years on the same farm. 
 The valley in which he now lives was a wilderness which he helped 
 to clear. William Walter came from Litchfield, Conn., in 1808, 
 and has since lived upon the farm upon which he first settled. On 
 lot 13 is a small but finely situated cemetery, called the Atwater 
 burying ground, the land having been given by Mr. Atwater. 
 Some of the most distinguished of the early settlers are buried 
 here ; among them Thomas Q., Ebenezer and Charles Alvord, and 
 others. 
 
 Mr. Conrad Belong, the father of Mrs-. Daniel Topping, who re- 
 sides upon lot 8, is now living and retains his faculties to a re- 
 markable degree for one of his age. He was born March 4, 1772, 
 in Dutchess County, and is of course a little more than four years 
 older than our Eepublic. With one exception he has voted at 
 every spring and fall election since he oast his first vote, and greatly 
 regrets that he failed in one instance. He has voted at every Pres- 
 idential election since, and at the last one he rode two miles and 
 cast his vote for Ulysses S. Grant. His hearing is greatly im-

 paired but his eyesight and his memory are good, and with the aid 
 of a staff is able to walk half a mile and return without serious in- 
 convenience. 
 
 The pioneers of Homer were religious people, and when six fam- 
 ilies had arrived they assembled together for religious worship on 
 the Sabbath, and from that time (1793) to this there has been only 
 one occasion on which the Sabbath service has been omitted. In 
 1794 or 1795 a number of families came from Massachusetts and 
 Connecticut, and these formed the germ of the future church. 
 Meetings were held in a log barn in the summer and in a dwelling 
 house in the winter. In the fall of 1798 a grist mill was erected 
 which served the people as a place of worship upon the Sabbath. 
 The first sermon was preached by Elder Peter P. Eoots, of the 
 Baptist denomination, in Mr. Baker's barn, from the text, " Faith, 
 Hope, Charity." The second was preached by Rev. Asa Hillyer, 
 of New Jersey. Mr. H. was in the place on business and attended 
 the raising of a building ; when it became known that ne was a 
 preacher he was invited to preach to the settlers, which he did in 
 the open air under a beech tree. In 1799 an organization for sus- 
 taining-public worship was formed under the title of " The First 
 Religious Society of the town of Homer," which is the title of the 
 society connected with the Congregational Church at the present 
 time. In December of the same year a house of worship was 
 erected on the north-east corner of the village green. Rev. Dr. 
 Williston, one of the early preachers .of this town, says, under date 
 December 15, 1799 : " This is a)«\ost the only house in all this 
 western country which has been erected with a principal reference 
 to the worship of God." 
 
 The first Congregational CAwrcA was organized October 12, 1801, 
 by Rev. Hugh Willis, of Solon. It consisted of fourteen members. 
 The first stated supply was by a Mr. Jones. The first settled pas- 
 tor was Rev. Nathan B. Darrow, who was ordained and installed 
 February 2, 1803. This was the first instance of ordination by 
 the denomination in the Military Tract, and the third installation. 
 By the terms of his settlement he was to receive a salary of $300 
 a year, one-half of which was to be paid iji cash and one-half in 
 wheat, and it was to be increased' annually ten dollars until it 
 should amount to $400.. The ordination was performed by an 
 Ecclesiastical Council, composed of ministers and delegates from 
 churches in Aurelius, Geneva, Qwasoo, Lisle, Pompey, Clinton 
 and Cazeno , .a. Mr. Darrow, after serving the church about six 
 years, was succeeded by Rev. Elnathan Walker, October 25, 1809. 
 Mr. Walker continued until his death in 1820. Rev. John Keep 
 was the next pastor, and Rev. Dennis Platt and Rev. Thomas K. 
 Fessenden were successively pastors of this church. The church 
 now numbers five hundred and fifty. Rev. J. C, Holbrook, D. D., 
 
OAZETTEEB OF TOWNS. 91 
 
 is the present pastor. The present house of worship is an elegant 
 brick structure with stone facings, stained glass windows, and a 
 tower surmounted by a tall and gracefiil spire, furnished with a 
 bell and clock. 
 
 The First Baptist Church was dedicated November 4th, 1827. 
 The number .of members at the date of its organization was 130 and 
 the present number 384. ' 
 
 The M. E. Church was organized in 1833, with forty -five m.em- 
 bers, under the pastoral labors of Kev. Nelson Rounds. The pres- 
 ent number is 124. Rev. A. M. Lake is the present pastor. 
 
 Calvary Protestant Episcopal Church was organized in 1831, and 
 the church edifice erected in 1882. The first rector was Rev. 
 Henry Gregory. The number of communicants at the date of or- 
 ganization was twenty; the present number is forty-five. Rev. A. 
 W. Cornell is the present rector. 
 
 Among the former residents of this town who have attained a 
 national reputation is Mr. Francis B. Carpenter, the artist who 
 gave to the world the "First Reading of the Emancipation Procla- 
 mation." The history of that picture is told in his " Six Months at 
 the White House." Mr. Carpenter was born in Homer, August 6, 
 1830, his father having settled here in 1800. His educational ad- 
 vantages were limited to the common school and one term at the 
 acadeiny in his native town. He early manifested a desire to be-^ 
 come an artist and of course exhibited a strong aversion to the la- 
 bors of the farm. The fences and out-buildings upon the farm were 
 decorated- by the ideal images formed in the brain of the young ar- 
 tist and executed with chalk, brick-dust, lamp-black and any other 
 materials upon which he could lay his hands. The father opposed 
 what he regarded the " boy's nonsense," but the mother sympa- 
 thized with him and at length sat for her portrait, which was so ac- 
 curate a likeness that the father gave up his opposition and became 
 the second person to sit for a likeness. Soon after completing the 
 portrait of his father he entered the studio of Sandford Thayer, of 
 Syracuse, where he remained about five months, receiving assist- 
 ance from that artist and making rapid progress in his chosen avo- 
 cation. While here he made the acquaintance of the artist Elliott, , 
 recently deceased, who encouraged him and gave him such instruc- 
 tion as he thought would aid him in his work. In 1846, before he 
 was sixteen years of age, he rpturned to his native town and opened 
 a studio. Here he received little encouragement at first, the citi- 
 zens distrusting his ability. As prejudice gradually wore away, he 
 began to receive encouragement, and the field of his operations was 
 gradually enlarged. Hon. Henry S. Randall was one of the first 
 to encourage the young artist by his patronage, having employed 
 him to prepare some drawings for a work which he was about to 
 publish, and subsequently sat for his portrait. In 1850 he located 
 in New York and has been growing in favor ever since.

 The population of Homer in 1865 was 3,856 and its area 29,321 
 acres. 
 
 LAPJEEK was formed from Virgil, May 2, 1845, and em- 
 braces the south-east quarter of that township. It is situated upon 
 the high ridges west of the Tioughnioga River, on the south border 
 of the County, west of the center. The declivities of the hills bor- 
 dering upon the river are precipitous. " Luce Hill," in the north- 
 west part of the town, is the highest point and is 1,600 to 1,700 
 feet above tide. The streams are all small brooks. Hunt's Falls, 
 upon Fall Creek, near the south border of the town, is a beautiful 
 cascade about 70 feet high. The soil is a gravelly and sandy loam. 
 A large part of the town is stilly unsettled. 
 
 Hunts Corners (p. o.) is a hamlet in the south part of the town ; 
 and 
 
 Lapeer (p. o.) is near the center. 
 
 The first settlement was made in this town in 1799, by Primus 
 Grant, a colored man, on lot 594. He was a native of Guinea and 
 the farm upon which he settled has since been called by that name. 
 Aaron Jennings now occupies the place. Peter Gray, a native of 
 Fishkill, Dutchess County, was the first white settler. He came 
 from Ulster (now Sullivan County) in July, 1802, and settled on 
 lot 70. In 1803 Seth Jennings, from Conn.ecticut,. settled on lot 
 597, where he resided until his death. Mason Jennings now re- 
 sides on the same farm. Simeon Luce, from Massachusetts, settled 
 on lot 57 in 1805. The farm is now occupied by his son, Ebe- 
 nezer Luce. Mr. L. died at an extreme old age, leaving a numer- 
 ous posterity. At the time of his settlement he had no neighbors 
 within four miles in one direction and five in the other. Captain 
 Thomas Kingsbury, a Revolutionary soldier, settled in the south- 
 east part of the town in 1802, on the farm now occupied by E. 
 Evans. Timothy Robertson came into the town about 1803. He 
 was a Revolutionary soldier and was with Montgomery at the 
 storming of Quebec, in 1775. Zachariah Squires and Robert 
 Smith came in 1806, and settled on lot 70. Mr. Smith was a sol- 
 dier of the Revolution and held a commission under Washington. 
 He was the father of A.bram Smith, now living in town. John S. 
 Squires from New Haven, Conn., settled on lot 68 in 1807. The 
 place is now owned by Hon. Dan C. Squires. In 1813 a company 
 of volunteers was organized for the war ; Simeon West was Cap- 
 tain, John S. Squires, Lieutenant, and William Powers, Ensign. 
 The members of the company were regarded as minute men, but 
 their services were not required. 
 
 Simeon Luce and Rebecca Ayers were married in Virgil, in 1805, 
 while on their way to their home on Luce Hill. 
 
 The first marriage in the town was that of James Parker and 
 Lucy Wood, who settled where Alford Alvord now lives. The 
 
OAZETTEEB OF TOWNS. 93 
 
 first birth was that of John Gray, son of Peter Gray, in 1803. 
 The first death was that of Robert C. Squires, May 9th, 1809. 
 
 Sixteen soldiers of the Revolution settled in Lapeer, all but one 
 of whom died here. The following are the names of fourteen of 
 them : Robert Smith, George Tatman, Thomas Kingsbury, Stephen 
 Kelley, Oliver Hopkins, William Parker, David Crowell, Nathan 
 Smith, Henry Turk, Nathan Walker, Timothy Robertson, Samuel 
 Soule, Asa Parker, James Pollard. 
 
 Prince Freeman, from Queensbury, N. Y., settled on lot 67 in 
 1810, on the farm now occupied by Elijah Freeman. Wolves 
 were very numerous at this time and in one night killed twelve 
 sheep for Mr. Freeman. Jabez Hazen, from Windham, Conn., 
 came in 1809, and settled on lot 53, where Luke Hazen now lives. 
 
 Simeon Luce erected the first grist mill, in 1827, and Samuel and 
 John Gee the first saw mill, in 1825. Messrs. Nichols and Turpen- 
 ing were the first merchants, having commenced business in 1834 
 or 1835. The first postmaster was Royal Johnson, who still holds 
 the office. Ebenezer Luce taught the first school, in 1814. Among 
 the early clergymen of Lapeer were Rev. Mr. Harrison and Dr. 
 Williston, of the Presbyterian order ; Rev. Mr. Sheopard, of the 
 Baptist, and Rev. Mr. Densmore, of the Methodist denomination. 
 
 A noted camping ground of the Indians was located a short dis- 
 tance north ot the present residence of Jerome Squires. It was 
 upon a bluiF that overlooks Big Brook, and covered with an im- 
 mense forest of elms, tasswood, maple and other timber, in which 
 roamed a multitude of wild animals. From the camping ground 
 the Indians scourtd the surrounding country in quest of game and 
 returned at night loaded with the products of the chase. Bears, 
 wolves, panthers, deer and other animals were very numerous. 
 
 This town, with a population of about 800, furnished fifty -two for 
 the United States service during the late rebellion, many of whom 
 became distinguished upon the battle-field and sealed their devotion 
 to their country with their blood. We know of no town with the 
 same population that showed a better record. The following are 
 the names of those who died in the service of their country : David 
 M. Turner, Francis E. Verran, Sfimuel D. Squires, William W. 
 Jennison, Squires S. Barrows, Frederic Wilcox, David W. Parker, 
 Linden Parker, Edgar Freeman, William H, Parker and John 
 Flanley. 
 
 The population in 1865 was 762 and its area 14,147 acres. 
 
 JMEAJRATSdlf was formed from' Cincinnatus, April 21, 
 1818, as "Harrison," embracing the south-west quarter of the mili- 
 tary township. Its name was changed in 1827 in consequence of 
 there being another town in the State of the same name. It lies , 
 upon the southern border of the County, east of the center. It has

 a rugged and hilly surface, the ridges rising from 500 to 700 feet 
 above the valleys. The Tioughnioga flows through the w^estern 
 part, in a deep, narrow valley, bordered by precipitous hillsides. 
 Hunt Creek, in the north-west, flows through a narrow, deep val- 
 ley, and Merrill Creek, in the east part, flows through a similar 
 valley. The principal part of the arable land lies along the valleys; 
 the uplands are broken and better adapted to pasturage. The soil 
 is a sandy and gravelly loam. 
 
 Marathon, (p. v.) situated on both sides of the Tioughnioga, is a 
 station on the Syracuse, Binghamton and New York Railroad, and 
 contains three churches, an academy, a newspaper office, two hotels, 
 a large grist and flouring mill, a number of sawmills, a large tan- 
 nery, a number of stores and mechanic shops and about 1,000 in- 
 habitants. The main street extends east and west, and divides the 
 village into two nearly equal parts. 
 
 Marathon Grist and FUmrmg Mill is capable of grinding 500 
 bushels per day, and gives employment to six or eight men. Deals 
 largely in flour and feed, and has a capital of 140,000 invested. 
 
 JBurgesi Mill (circular saw) will cut 16,000 feet per day, and 
 Livingston's Mill (circular saw) will cut about 20,000 feet in 24 
 hours. 
 
 Cooperage business gives employment to eight or ten tneniand 
 turns out about $10,000 worth of work annually. 
 
 Marathon Tannery employs eleven men and manufactures about 
 25,000 or 30,000 pounds annually. The capital invested is $50,000. 
 
 Marathon Rural Cemetery embraces about twelve acres, on a rise 
 of ground about one fourth of a mile north-east of the village. It 
 is under the control of an association of which Samuel M. Hunt is 
 President, 
 
 Marathon Academy. — This institution is situated on the west 
 side of the river, about sixty rods from the railroad depot. It has 
 a beautiful location on a good sized lot which slopes gradually to 
 the east. It was chartered as an Academy by the Regents of the 
 University in February, 1866. The building, as it then was, had 
 been used and owned by E. S. Weld, an enterprising young man, 
 who, at the call of his country, left his " High School," as it was 
 called, to engage in his country's defense, and who now fills an hon- 
 ored soldier's grave. Its dimensions were the same as now, but it 
 required an expenditure of about $1,000 to bring it to its present 
 condition. This was done by the stockholders the first season af- 
 ter they purchased it. There are forty shares of $100 each in the 
 stock. The present value of the lot and buildings is set down at 
 $4,800. M. L. Hawley, Esq., now editor of the Binghamton Stan- 
 dard, was engaged as Principal during the first two years of its ex- 
 . istence as an academy. Mr. Hawley is an excellent teacher and 
 well calculated to advance the interests of a school. The school is

 under the direction, for the present academic year, of Stephen Man- 
 chester, an experienced teacher and a good disciplinarian. The 
 officers of the Board of Trustees are : Hon. Dann C. Squires, 
 President; Sanford L. Baum, Secretary; Alanson Benjamin, 
 Treasurer. 
 
 An Iron Bridge is being erected across the river in this village, 
 which will cost about $14,000. 
 
 Texas Valley, (p. v.) in the north-east corner of the town, con- 
 tains three churches and is quite a flourishing village. 
 
 The first settlement of this town was commenced in 1794, by 
 Dr. Japheth Hunt and his wife and two sons, James and William, 
 ani three daughters. They entered the Tioughnioga Valley from 
 the south, in canoes, and located on lot 93, about a mile south of 
 the present village of Marathon. Dr. Hunt came from New Eng- 
 land, and had served his country in the Eevolutionary war as sur- 
 geon. He was too far advanped-iin life to'commence a new settle- 
 ment, but his children were of mature age aiid possessed vigorous 
 constitutions which fitted them for the laborious duties that de- 
 volved upon them. In 1796, John Hunt, the oldest son of the 
 Doctor came and settled on lot 72. Samuel M. Hunt, his son, born 
 October 30, 1798, was the first child born in the town. John 
 Hunt was appointed a justice of the peace, about the commence- 
 ment of the present century, and held the office until his death iii 
 1815. His widow survived him a little more than half a century 
 and died May 7th, 1866, at the age of ninety-five years and seven 
 months. Abram Brinls, with his family, moved into the town in 
 1800, and located on lot 82. He came up the river in a canoe, 
 opened an inn soon after his arrival, and kept it for more than 
 twenty years. Though he could neither read or write he was ap- 
 pointed the first postmaster in the town. A family by the name 
 of Alford and a man by the name of Lee* were among the early 
 settlers. . Among the other early settlers were John S. Squires, 
 Ebenezer Carley and Patrick Mallory. The last named was a 
 brother of Esq. Hunt's wife, and settled one mile north of Marathon 
 village. 
 
 The first marriage in the town was that of Nicholas Brink and 
 Polly Alford ; and the first death that of Dr. Hunt, in 1808, at the 
 age of 97. William Cowdrey taught the first school, in 1803 ; 
 John Hunt built the first sawmill ; and Weed & Waldo, James 
 Burgess and David Munroe were early merchants. 
 
 In 1808 the father of Thurlow Weed removed to this town, and 
 here was laid the foundation of that career which made "T. W." a 
 I power in the Empire State. Mr. Weed says, in a communication 
 to H. C. Goodwin, the Historian of Cortland County : " My first 
 employment was in attendance upon an ashery. The process of ex- 
 tracting lye from ashes, and of boiling the lye into black salts, was

 common-place enough ; but when the melting down into potash 
 came, all was bustle and excitement. This labor was succeeded, 
 when the spring had advanced far enough, by the duties of the ' sap- 
 bush.' This is a season to which the farmers' s«ns and daughters 
 look forward with agreeable anticipations. In that employment 
 toil is more than literally sweetened. The occupation and its asso- 
 ciations are healthful and beneftcial. When your troughs are dug 
 out, (of basswood, for there were no buckets in those days,) your 
 trees tapped, your sap gathered, your wood cut, and your fires fed, 
 there is leisure for reading or ' sparking.' And what youthful den- 
 izens of the sap-bush will ever forget, while ' sugaring off,' their 
 share in the transparent and delicious streaks of candy congealed 
 and cooled on snow ? Many a farmer's son has found his best op- 
 portunities for improvement in his intervals of leisure while ' tend- 
 ing sap-bush.' Such at any rate wast my experience. At night 
 you had only to feed the kettles and keep up the fires, the sap hav- 
 ing been gathered and the wood cut before dark. During the day 
 we would also lay in a good stock of ' fat pine,' by the light of 
 which, blazing brightly in front of the sugar-house, in the posture 
 the serpent was condemned to assume as a penalty for tempting 
 our great first grandmother, I have passed many and many a de- 
 lightful night in reading. I remember in this way to have read a 
 history of the French Revolution,: and to have obtained from it a 
 better and more enduring knowledge of its events and horrors, and 
 of the actors in that great national tragedy, than I have received 
 from all subsequent readings. I remember how happy I was in 
 being able to borrow the book of Mr. Keyes, after a two mile 
 tramp through the snow, shoeless, my feet swaddled in remnants 
 of a rag-carpet." He says he was large, healthy and strong, and 
 ambitious " to keep his row " in hoeing corn and potatoes. The 
 " logging bees " and other gatherings, accompanied by the indis- 
 pensable gallon bottle of whisky, are duly noticed, as clearing the 
 land constituted the principal employment of the early settlers. 
 He says : " Our first ac4uisition in the way of ' live stock' was a 
 rooster and four hens ; and I remember with what a gush of glad- 
 ness I was awakened at break of day the next morning by the loud 
 defiant voice of chanticleer ; and when, several days afterwards, I 
 found a real hen's nest in a brush-heap, with eggs in it, I cackled al- 
 most as boisterously as the feathered iQother whom. I had surprised 
 in the feat of parturition." The same writer gives the following 
 amusing account of an expedition to a new store and its results : 
 " I remember the stir which a new store, established in Lisle (some 
 seven or esigjit miles down the river) by the Rathbones, from Ox- 
 ford, created, in our neighborhood. It was 'all the talk' for several 
 weeks, and until a party of housewives, by clubbing with their pro- 
 ducts, fitted out an expedition. Vehicles and horses were scarce,' 
 
&AZETTEER OF TOWNS. 97 
 
 but it was finally arranged : A, furnishing a wagon ; B, a horse ; C, 
 a mare, and D,. a boy to drive. Six matrons, with a commodity 
 of black salts, tow cloth, flax and maple sugar, went their way re- 
 joicing, and returned triumphantly at sunset with fragrant Bohea 
 for themselves, plug tobacco for their husbands, flashy calico for the 
 children, gay ribbons for the girls, jack-knives for the boys, crock- 
 ery for the cupbaard, and snuff for granny." This expedition was 
 a theme for much gossip. The wonders of the 'new store' were 
 described to staring eyes and open mouths. The merchant and his 
 clerk were criticised in their deportment, manners and dress. The 
 former wore shiny boots and tassels, the latter a ruffle shirt, and 
 both smelt of pomatum ! I do not believe that the word ' dandy' 
 had been invented, or it would have certainly come in play on that 
 occasion. Thirty years afterwards I laughed over all this with my , 
 old friend. General Ransom Rathbone, the venerable proprietor of 
 that ' new store.' " The same writer says : " There were neither 
 churches nor ' stated preaching ' in town. A Methodist minister 
 came occasionally and held meetings in private houses or at the 
 school house. In the winter there was a school on the river, and 
 the master, who ' boarded round,' must have ' had a good time of 
 it' on johnny-cake for breakfast, lean salt pork for dinner, and samp 
 and milk for supper. There were few amusements in those days, 
 and but little of leisure or disposition to indulge in them. Those 
 that I remember as most pleasant and exciting were ' huskings ' 
 and ' coon hunts.' There was fun too in smoking woodchucks out 
 of their holes." 
 
 The First Presbyterian Church was organized February 11, 
 1814, with ten members. The present 'edifice was erected in .1830. 
 The church now numbers .thirty-eight members. 
 
 Marathon Baptist Church was organized October 20, 1860, with 
 twenty-five members ; the present number is eighty-three. The 
 church is in a flourishing condition with the prospect of a new build- 
 ing. J. H. Sage is the pastor. 
 
 The Methodist Church was organized by the formation of a class 
 
 consisting of four members, in 1830 ; Orrin Carley was leader. 
 
 Three members of the original class are still living, viz., Mrs. C. 
 
 . Newton, Orrin Carley and Mrs. Griffin. The church now numbers 
 
 170 members. Rev. A. C. Bowdfsh is the present pastor. 
 
 The population in 1865 was 1,485 and its area 15,945 acres. 
 
 Thublow Weed was born in Cairo, Greene County, N. Y., No- 
 vember 15, 1797, and, at the age of eleven, removed with his pa- 
 rents to Cincinnatus-, now embraced in the town of Marathon. In 
 the summer of 1806 he was employfed as cook and cabin boy on 
 board the sloop Banger, of Catskill, and on the sloop Jefferson in 
 1807. In the winter of 1808 his father removed to this County and 
 young Thurlow found himself soon after in an ashery, engaged in

 making black salts. His parents were poor and unable to give 
 him the advantages of a school education. Previous to his re- 
 moval from Greene County, he had veorked in the printing office of 
 Macky Croswell, at Catskill, and had acquired the title of " Print- 
 er's Devil." In 1811 he was employed in the Lynx office, at On- 
 ondaga Hollovf, and in 1812 he was employed in the office of 
 Thomas Walker, of Utica, and worked on the Columbian Gazette ; 
 and in 1813 on the Herkimer American. From this time until 
 1815 he was employed at Auburn, Spring Mills, Sangerfield, Caze- 
 novia and Cooperstown. He worked at offices in Utica and Her- 
 kimer for a time, and then went to Albany and New York, work- 
 ing as a journeyman until 1819. At this time he established a 
 weekly newspaper in Norwich, Chenango County, called The 
 Agriculturist. In 1821 he removed to Manlius and established the 
 Onondaga County Republican. From this place he went to 
 Rochester, where, after working two years, he purchased the paper, 
 The Rochester Telegraph. He subsequently published the Anti- 
 Masonic Inquirer, which soon became the leading paper of his party 
 in the State. In 1830 he removed to Albany and established the 
 Hvening Journal, which was conducted with great ability for more 
 than a quarter of a century, during most of which time heprob- 
 ably exerted a greater influence upon the political affiiirs of the 
 State than any other man. In 1843 he went to Europe and visited 
 the British Islands and several countries upon the continent. His 
 letters furnished for the Journal during his travels were exceedingly 
 interesting and were extensively copied into other papers and sub- 
 sequently published in book form. Since his retirement from the 
 Evening Journal he has befen connected with the Press of New 
 York City. 
 
 David R. Locke, known throughout the country as Petroleum V. 
 JVasby, is a native of this town, and his father, Nathaniel Locke, 
 still resides here. 
 
 JPREJBLE) named in honor of Commodore Edward Preble, 
 was formed from Tully, upon the organization of Cortland County, 
 April 8, 1808, and em.braced the south-half of that town. Its 
 size was diminished in 1815 by taking off the town of Scott. It is 
 situated upon the north border of the County, west of the center. 
 The surface is somewhat broken and diversified, consisting of the 
 valley of the western branch of the Tioughnioga River, which is 
 about two miles wide, and the ridges which rise on the east and 
 west. Mount Topping, situated south-west of the village, is 1,700 
 feet above tide. The declivities of the hills are steep, and their 
 summits in some instances sharp ridges. A valley extending 
 northward, opens into the valley of Otisco Inlet. Several small 
 lakes are situated in the north part of the town, and others similar 
 
OAZETTEEB OF TOWNS. 99 
 
 are situated in the south part, known as Little York Lakes. The 
 soil is a fine quality of gravelly loam. 
 
 Preble, (p. v.) situated on the Syracuse, Binghamton and New 
 York Railroad, contains two churches, a hotel, two general mer- 
 chandise stores, one hardware and one drug store, one cooper shop, 
 one school, employing two teachers ; a harness shop, two black- 
 smith shops, one wagon shop and several other shops of various 
 kinds, and about 400 inhabitants. 
 
 A Good Templar's Lodge was organized in July, 1868. 
 
 Preble Cheese Factory is located about a mile south-east of the 
 village. It was built in 1863—4 by Moses and William Palmer. 
 The building is 100 feet by 35, and two stories high, with an engine 
 room 12 by 16 feet. The vats are heated by steam, and the milk 
 of from 500 to 600 cows is used annually. • 
 
 Baltimore and Preble Center are hamlets. 
 
 The' %st settlement of this town was made in 1796 by James 
 Cravat and John Gill. Mr. Cravat was a native of Connecticut, 
 but removed from Pompey HilL and located on lot 68. In 1798 
 Harry Hill and Elijah Mason came in and settled on lots 87 and 78. 
 Huring the next two years Seth Trowbridge, Minnah Hyatt and 
 Samuel Orvis settled on lot 59. Augustus Thorp located on lot 
 78 in 1801j and Jabez B. Phelps, John Osgood, Silas Topping and 
 Samuel C. Buckelow settled in various locations in the town in 
 1802. Judge Phelps located on lot 88, practiced medicine for a 
 time but subsequently turned his attention to politics, and was 
 elected to various responsible offices. Lytle Ferguson, Amos 
 Skeel and Jason Comstock came into the town in 1802-3, and 
 John Callyer, Dr. Robert D. Taggart and Edward Cummings in 
 1804. Mr. Cummings came from Peterboro, N. H., and settled 
 on lot 59. He purchased one hundred acres and reared a family of 
 thirteen children. Among the other early settlers were Garret 
 Van Hoesen and his sons, Garret, Francis and Albert, William 
 Vandenburgh, John 0. HoUenbeck and Richard Egbertson, most 
 of whom were from Greene County. 
 
 The first school in this town was taught by Miss "iluth Thorp, in 
 1801. Previous to the establishment of a post-office at Preble Cor- 
 ners, about 1812, the settlers received their mail from Pompey 
 Hill. The first birth in the town was that of Nancy Gill, October 
 25, 1796 ; the first marriage was that of Amos Bull and Sally Ma- 
 son, in 1799; and the first death that of John Patterson, in 1798. 
 The first gristmill was erectad in 1806 by Samuel C. Woolson. In 
 1827 the building was taken down and the main part of the present 
 mill erected on the original site. Amos Skeel was the first super- 
 visor and the first justice of the peace of the town ; Garret Van 
 Hoesen the first town clerk, and Samuel Taggert the first constable.

 The first church was organized the 27th of August, 1804, consist- 
 ing of eleven members. It was called the Congregational Church 
 of Tully, but has since been designated as the First Presbyterian 
 Church of Preble. It was formed chiefly through the instrumental- 
 ity of Rev. Theodore Hinsdale and Joel Hale, missionaries from 
 Connecticut. Rev. Matthew Harrison, the first pastor, commenced 
 his labors in 1812. 
 
 The Baptist denomination was organized at an early period with 
 fourteen members, under the labors of Elder Abbott. 
 
 The Methodist Church was organized in 1827 by Calvin Win- 
 slow ; Rev. Mr. Sayers was the first regular preacher. Elder 
 Puflfer, commonly called "Old Chapter and Verse," was at one 
 time the preacher at this place. It was said that if the Bible should 
 be destroyed he could re-write every chapter, verse and even word 
 in its proper place. 
 
 The population in 1865 was 1,267 and the area 16,114 acrgs. 
 
 /SCOTT was formed from Preble, April 14, 1815, and named 
 in honor of General Winfield Scott. It lies in the north-west corner 
 of the County. Its surface is chiefly an upland, broken by two 
 deep and narrow valleys which extend north and south through 
 the town. The declivities of the hills are very steep and in some 
 places precipitous. Cold Brook flows through the eastern valley 
 and Factory Brook and Skaneateles Inlet through the western. 
 Skaneateles Lake touches the north-west corner. The soil is chiefly 
 a sandy and gravelly loam, better adapted to grazing than to tillage. 
 
 Scott Center, (Scott p. o.) situated near the center of the town, 
 contains three churches, viz., Presbyterian, Methodist and Seventh 
 Day Baptist, and about 300 inhabitants. 
 
 JEasty^Scott, (p. o.) in the north-east part, on Cold Brook, is a 
 hamlet.' 
 
 The mills of J. L. & L. H. Conistock are situated on Skaneateles 
 Inlet, about a mile from Scott. The gristmill is three stories high 
 and contains three runs of stones. The gristmill and shingle mill 
 of George Southwick is situated on Skaneateles Inlet. There are 
 several other .mills in various parts of the town. 
 
 The first permanent settlement was made in 1799 on lot 82, by 
 Peleg and Solomon Babcock and Asa Howard,, from Ley den, 
 Mass., and George Dennison, from Vermont. Cornish Messenger 
 and Daniel Jakeway, from De Ruyter, settled on lot 92 in 1800, 
 and Maxon Babcock upon lot 82 in ISQI. Gershom Richardson 
 and his two sons-in-law, by the name of Clark, came from Pompey 
 and settled on lot 71, and Henry Burdick, from Colraine, Mass., on 
 lot 72. John Gillet, from Connecticut, capie here in 1805, and sub- 
 sequently located on lot 84. Mr. Gillett was a justice of the peace 
 for twenty years, associate judge for fifteen years, a member of the

 Legislature and Presidential Eleptor, all of which offices he filled to 
 the general satisfaction of the public and with credit to himself. 
 Jacob Smith, from Delphi, located on lot 84, and Daniel Double- 
 day on lot 85, where he spent a long and prosperous life. . In 1805 
 Elisha Sabins and John Babcock cleared a road from Scott's cor- 
 ners to Babcock's corners. They transported their goods to their 
 new homes on sleds. The next year Isaac Hall passed over the 
 road with a wagon and a load of lumber. Game was very abund- 
 ant, bears were very troublesome to the farmers, destroying their 
 corn and in other respects proving themselves very troublesome 
 neighbors. Deer were also very numerous, and one of the' early 
 settlers relates that he went to the woods to cut a broom-stick, 'ac- 
 companied by a large dog. The snow w^as deep and the crust suffi- 
 ciently hard to bear a man. Before he had secured his broom-stick 
 he had killed seven deer. 
 
 The first merchant in the town was Nathan Babcock ; the first 
 inn keeper, James Babcock, and the first postmaster, Joh^ Gillett. 
 The first birth was that of Harriet Babcock ; the first marriage that 
 of Solomon Babcock and Amy Morgan, in 1802. There being no 
 person near who was authorized to marry, the parties went to Ho- 
 mer on horseback, attended church and then called on Esquire 
 Bishop, who performed the ceremony for them. The first death 
 was that of an infant daughter of Peleg Babcock. The first school 
 was taught by Amy Morgan. The first post-master at East Scott 
 was Alvin' Kellogg, of whom Ex-President Fillmore learned his 
 trade, that of a clothier. The first ordained preacher was Elder 
 Town. , ,_ 
 
 The town of Scott was greatly harrassed by the depredations of 
 bears, and in March, 1799, three persons started in pursuit. One 
 of the hunters soon gave out and the other two continued the trail 
 leading towards Skaneateles Lake. The snow was deep and these 
 two soon gave up the chase and returned by a circuitous route, hop- 
 ing to meet with an old bear that had winteted in the neighbor- 
 hood of the hunters' home. As they approached the den oft he old 
 depredator he was discovered and both hunters discharged their 
 guns, but only wounded the bear. He hastily left for other quar- 
 ters and was pursued all day, and, after camping out near Skaneate- 
 les Lake, they drove the bear into a clearing some eight miles from 
 home, where they killed him and took off his hide, out of which they 
 made each of them a cap, which served to commemorate the event. 
 
 The population in 1865 was. 1,149 and its area 12,928 acres. 
 
 SOLOir was formed from Homer, March 9, 1798. It em- 
 braced the original military township. No. 20. Its original area 
 was diminished April 4, 1811 , by annexing a part to Truxton, and, 
 in 1849, by the formation of Taylor. It is an interior town, lying

 near the center of the County. The surface is broken and diversi- 
 fied by numerous narrow valleys of small streams which flow 
 through it. The hills upon the east border are from 1,400 to 1,500 
 feet in height above tide. Many of the highest summits are cov- 
 ered with forests and are too rough for cultivation. Trout Brook 
 flows in a westerly direction through near the center of the town, 
 in a narrow, fertile valley. The soil is a gravelly loam, better 
 adapted to grazing than to the raising of grain. 
 • 'isofofi, (p. V.) situated in the central part of the town, contains 
 two churches, a hotel, a store, several shops and about 100 inhab- 
 itants. 
 
 The first permanent settlement was made in 1794 by Eoderick 
 Beebe and iTohnson Bingham. The former settled on lot 75 and 
 the latter on lot 62. Mr. Bingham purchased 550 acres, reared a 
 large family of children and died at the age of 79. Col. Elijah 
 Wheeler, from New Haven, Conn., located on lot 100 in 1801. 
 Garret Pritchard, from Litchfield, Conn., located on lot 74 in 1807. 
 He came with a pack on his back, having only $16.50 in money. 
 His father came in the previous year under very embarrassing cir- 
 cumstances, but the son, with the nerve and energy which charac- 
 terized many of the early settlers, determined to succeed. After 
 earning and paying $f 00 for his father, he located on lot 75, where 
 he became a prosperous farmer. Henry L. Eandall came from 
 Sharon, Conn., in 1808, and located on lot 74. He came with a 
 two-horse team, bringing a few necessary articles for immediate 
 use. He resided for more than fifty years on the same lot and 
 reared a large family, two of whom, William Randall and Eliza 
 Stephens, now reside in the town. Jonathan Rundall also located 
 on lot 74, and Ebenezer Blake on 84. The latter was a soldier of 
 the Revolution and fought at the battle of Bunker Hill. Luke 
 Cass, from New Hampshire, settled on lot 51, where F. L. Boyoe 
 now lives. Columbus Cass, son of Luke, came with his father and 
 now' lives on lot 61. In 1812 Eben Wilcox built the gristmill now 
 owned by Philo F. Moses ; it has two runs of stones and is a flour- 
 ing and custom mill. Stephen N. Peck, with his wife and two chil- 
 dreo, eame from Dutchess County in 1805. He located on lot 62, 
 and is still living at the age of ninety years and retains to a good 
 degree all his faculties. Lyman Peck, E. Burlingham, Piatt and 
 John Peck, now live in town. Russell Warren settled on lot 51, 
 where M. O'Brien now lives, in 1817. Four of his children, viz., 
 Pierce, Ransom, Alfred and Polly Gilbert, now reside in town. 
 Samuel Gilbert and Stephen Pendleton, Revolutionary soldiers, 
 settled and died here. Josiah Bean, from New Hampshire, settled 
 om lot 72, where Quigley now lives. Lydia Randall, his daughter, 
 now lives in town. Luke Chapin, the father of Hiram Chapin, now 
 lisrfag in town, came from Massachusetts in 1805 and settled on

 was organized in 1811, by Rev. Wm. J. Wilcox, assisted by Rev. 
 John Davenport and Rev. Joseph Avery, missionaries from Massa- 
 chusetts, Deacon John Severance is the oldest member now liv- 
 ing, he having joined in 1812. 
 The population in 1865 was 1,689 and its area 27,780 acres. 
 
 VHtGIZi was formed from Homer, April 3, 1804, and named 
 in honor of the distinguished Roman poet. It was number 24 of 
 the Milita,ry Townships. Harford and Lapeer were taken off in 
 1845. A small portion of the east part has been annexed to Cort- 
 laadville and Freetown. It lies upon the west border of the Coun- 
 ty, south of the center. The surface is a broken and hilly upland; 
 greatly diversified, and exhibits a variety of picturesque scenery. 
 The Owego Hills, in the south-west part, are about 600 feet above 
 the valleys and about 1,700 feet above tide. The valleys are nar- 
 row and bordered by the steep declivities of the hills. The princi- 
 pal streams are Virgil and Gridley Creeks, the former flowing west, 
 the latter east. The soil is a gravelly and sandy loam, best adapt- 
 ed to pasturage. 
 
 Virgil, (p. v.) situated a little west of the center of the town, on 
 Virgil Creek, contains three churches, a hotel, a marble shop, seve- 
 ral stores and mechanic shops, and between 200 and 300 inhabitants. 
 
 East Virgil, (p. v.) situated in the south-east part, contains a 
 church, several mills and mechanic shops, and about 100 inhabitants. 
 
 State Bridge (Messengerville p. o.) is a station on the Syracuse, 
 Binghamton and New York Railroad, in the south-east corner of 
 the town. 
 
 Frank's Corners, in the south-west part, is a hamlet. 
 
 The first permanent settlement was made by Joseph Chaplin, on 
 lot 50. He erected a log house here in 1792, while engaged in lay- 
 ing out the road from Oxford to Cayuga Lake, but did not move 
 his family until 1794. This road, about sixty miles in length, was 
 a very great improvement and was a general thoroughfare for em- 
 igrants. John M. Frank settled on lot 43 in 1795. John Gee, 
 from Pennsylvania, settled on lot 21 in 1796. He was a soldier of 
 the Revolution and had previously erected a log house, twelve by 
 sixteen feet, for the reception of his fa-^ily, which consisted of his 
 wife and six children together with his father and mother. 
 
 John E. Roe, from Ulster County, moved into the town in the 
 winter of 1797-8. The journey was made in a sleigh which con- 
 tained also a few of the most valuable of their household effects. 
 When they arrived atthe river opposite the residence of Mr. Chap- 
 lin, there was no bridge, and in consequence of the rise of the wa- 
 ter the canoe in which the passage was usually made had been car- 
 ried away. The prospect was not very encouraging, for they must 
 either cross the stream or remain where they were without shelter. 
 
108 G"^ ZETTEEB OF TO WN8. 
 
 Mr. Chaplin's hog trough was procured and in it Mrs. R. was safely 
 landed upon the opposite shore. The horses and the cow swam 
 the stream in safety, and our pioneers put up for the night. The 
 horses were tied to the sleigh, and for want of more nutritious feed 
 ate th^ flag bottoms of the chairs. The next day they proceeded 
 on their journey to their new home. Mr. Roe had erected a log 
 house in the spring, split plank and laid the floor, and peeled baric 
 for the roof which a man in Homer had agreed to put on, but on 
 their arrival they found their cabin roofless and the snow as deep 
 inside as out. The snow was shoveled away from one side and a 
 fire built against the logs, some blankets drawn across the beams 
 for a shelter, and thus they passed their first night in their new 
 home. 
 
 In 1798, James Bright, James Knapp, Bailey, John and James 
 Glenny, and Wait Ball, came in and settled in different parts of the 
 town. The next year Enos Bouton, Dana Miles, John Lucas, Hen- 
 ry WpIIs, Jared Thorn and Primus Gault came in. The early set- 
 tlers had to contend against wild beasts, and after all their precau- 
 tions their flocks and herds sometimes fell a prey to the wolves. 
 The first flock of sheep brought into the town by Mr. Frank were 
 all destroyed. Fifteen wolves were killed in one year by Mr. Roe 
 and Capfc Knapp. The following incident will show the dangers to 
 which the children were exposed : 
 
 David Scofield, when but a lad, was once playing upon a brush- 
 fence; and suddenly falling off was seized by a bear that hastened 
 with him towards her den. Passing near his father's house his aged 
 grandmother saw his perilous condition and snatched a warm loaf 
 of bread and hastened to his rescue. Just as the bear was entering 
 her den the old lady threw the bread in front of the bear, at which 
 she dropped the boy, seized the bread and disappeared, leaving the 
 boy to return to the arms of his doting grandmother. 
 
 During the year 1800 we find the names of several additional 
 settlers ; among them James Wright, John Calvert, James Sher- 
 wood, Peter Jones, Seth Larabee, John Ellis, Moses Rice, Abiel 
 Brown, Oren Jones, Moses Stevens and Jason Crawford. The next 
 year Daniel Edwards, Nathaniel Bouton, Prince Freeman and 
 James Clark came in and settled in various parts of the town. Dur- 
 ing the next two or three years we find the names of Jonathan Ed- 
 wards, Samuel Carson, Alex. Hunt, George Wright, Abner and 
 Ezra Bruce, Wm. Lincoln, Peter Graw, Moses Olmsted, John I. 
 Gee and others. Elisha Woods settled in this town in 1815, four 
 yeiars after which he removed to Freetown. June 17, 1815, snow 
 fell in this town to the depth of two and a half inches. 
 
 Some of the early settlers are described as being destitute of all 
 the luxuries and most of what would be considered the necessaries 
 of life. One man had a cow, an ax and an auger, and his furniture

 consisted of a hewn slab, standing on four legs, for a table, square 
 blocks for chairs and a corn husk rug for a carpet. Chips served 
 for plates, and a bake kettle for dish kettle, water and milk pail, 
 soup dish, frying pan and coffee pot, showing conclusively that the 
 real necessaries of life are very few. 
 
 Considerable interest was manifest at an early day in the cause 
 of education. The "Virgil Library" was established in 1807, and 
 another under the name of the "Virgil Union Library" in 1814. 
 
 The first birth in the town was that of a son of Mr. Chaplin, and 
 the first death that of a stranger, Charles Hoffman, in April, 1798. 
 The first death of a resident was that of Mrs. Derosel Gee, in March, 
 1802. The first marriage was that of Ruluff Whitney, of Dryden, 
 and Susan Glenny, of Virgil, in 1 800. The first school house was 
 erected in 1799, and the first teacher was Charles Joyce. Daniel 
 Sheldon was the first merchant, and Daniel Edwards built the first 
 saw mill, Peter Vanderlyn and Nathaniel Knapp erected the first 
 grist mill, in 1805. This was an important work, for previous to 
 its erection the settlers were compelled to go to Chenango Point or 
 Ludlow ville. It was not uncommon for them to carry a grist upon 
 their backs more than twenty miles. The first cider was made by 
 Enos Bouton, in 1819 ; it was worth four dollars a barrel. The ap- 
 ples were mashed by a pestle hung to a spring sweep, and the 
 juice extracted by a simple lever press. The first supervisor of 
 the town was Moses Rice, and the first town clerk, Gideon Mes- 
 senger. 
 
 The first religious meeting was held in 1802 ; and the first church 
 (Congregational) was organized February 28, 1805, consisting of 
 eight members, by Rev. Seth Williston. The Baptist Church was 
 organized in 1807. The Methodist Church was organized in 1826 
 or 1827, and their house of worship erected in 1831. 
 
 An Agricultural Society was organized in 1853 and held its first 
 annual Fair in 1854. In 1857 it was re-organized and a piece of 
 ground was secured upon which to hold their Fairs, and buildings 
 were erected upon it for the use of the society. 
 
 The population in 1865 was 2,009 and its area 28,751 acres. 
 
 WILLETT, named in honor of Colonel Marinus Willett, 
 was formed from Cincinnatus, April 21, 1818. It lies in the south- 
 east corner of the County. The surface consists of the narrow val- 
 ley of Otselio River and of the high ridges which rise on either side. 
 The uplands are broken by narrow ravines through which the small 
 streams flow. Much of the surface is unsettled and too rough for 
 profitable cultivation. Bloody Pond is a small sheet of water in 
 the north-west part. The soil is a sandy and gravelly loam. 
 
 Willett, (p. V.) situated a little north of the center of the town, 
 contains three churches, two stores, a hotel, several mechanic shops 
 and mills, and about twenty dwellings.

 Burlingame's Mills is situated a short distance east of Willett and 
 contains several mills, mechanic shops, stores, &;o. 
 
 The first settler in this town was Ebenezer Crittenden, in 1797. 
 He was from Barrington, Mass., but had married in Binghamton. 
 Having embarked upon a rude boat, with his wife, child and goods, 
 at Chenango Forks, he forced his way up the river by means of one 
 paddle and a setting pole, to his place of settlement. His first 
 shelter was formed by means of some crotches and poles covered 
 with bed clothes. He soon after built a log house which he cover- 
 ed with shingles of his own make. His gristmill was made by hol- 
 lowing out the top of a stump and erecting a spring-pole for a pes- 
 tle. His gun furnished his meat and the Otselic his drink. For 
 nine years he was the only inhabitant of the town. In 1806 or 
 1807, Benjamin Wilson, from Westchester County, John Fisher, 
 from England, John Gozlay, from Dutchess County, and Thomas 
 Leach, from Madison County, settled here. Jabez Johnson, 
 Phineas Sargent and Ebenezer Andrew came in in 1807-8. Other 
 early settlers were Joseph Merritt, Solomon Smith, Daniel Eob- 
 erts, John Coverts, William Greene, Ira Burlingame, Altitius Bur- 
 lingame and Edward Nickerson, all of them settling in 1809. Ar- 
 nold Thomas came here in 1810, and Solomon Dodge in 1811. 
 
 The first birth was that of a child of Ebenezer Crittenden ; the 
 first marriage was that of Solomon Smith, and the first death that 
 of the wife of Solomon Smith. Benjamin Wilson built a grist mill, 
 a saw mill and a clothing mill, in 1807-8. The first school house 
 was built in 1814 ; the first post-office was established in 1823, and 
 Samuel Dyer was appointed post-master. William Throop was 
 the first supervisor and Samuel Dyer the first town clerk. The 
 first church (Methodist) was organized in 1816. In 1818 Mr. Ar- 
 nold Thomas and his wife were drowned in Otselic River, in at- 
 tempting to cross on- a raft. The Baptist Church was organized in 
 1821, and the Congregational in 1852. 
 
 The population in 1865 was 982 and its area 15,664 acres.

 Davison's Thornless Raspberries. 
 
 Waterloo, N. T., 1868. 
 
 The andereigned who is the one who first introdnced the Seneca Raspberry to the pub- 
 lic, will now be prepared to famish No, One First Class Plants, of Senecas and Dayi- 
 son's Thornless, which are to be the leading Raspberries and should go together. 
 
 The THORNLESS is early, ripens a trifle earlier than the Doolittle ; the SENECA 
 ripens about two weeks later than THORNLESS, which makes the season complete in 
 the berry line. 
 
 All wishing good, first-claes plants of these two valuable berries, can rely on me for 
 them, as I will send but no poor plants. 
 
 fciend stamp and get my prices, when issued next fall. 
 
 My soil enables me to grow plants equal to any grown in the country, and they are 
 pronounced ]^o. One, by reuable dealers. Yours Truly,

 mind that this firm will not be undersold, 
 and that all of their work is warranted as

 Warren 'Wiglit,Propaffatorand deal- 
 er in the celebrated Sen-eca Black Cap and 
 Davison's Thomless Raspberries, Grape 
 Vines, Strawberries, and other small fruits, 
 at Waterloo, Seneca Co., publishes a card 
 on page 146. His experience in the busi- 
 ness is large, and his soil is excellent, 
 probably no better can be found in the 
 State for the purpose he uses it. We ad- 
 vise our friends to peruse his advertisement 
 and purchase their supplies of him. He nsef 
 great care in packing for shipment, and 
 sends out none but first-class plants. It 
 would do no harm to address him for a cir- 
 cular, and might be the means of affording 
 you an abnuoance of his delicious fruits. 
 
 1I« S. Cone, manufacturer and dealer 
 in Improved Slat Window Shades, Mara- 
 thon, N. Y., publishes a card on page 124. 
 These shades are superior to any others 
 now before the public, and have only to be 
 seen to be appreciated. They have an ad- 
 vantage over every lother shade in the fol- 
 lowing particulars : They are the most du- 
 rable and will last a life time if used care- 
 fully. They are made of wood and can be 
 cleaned like any other wood work. They 
 arethemoft convenient and can be made 
 to suit a window of any size. For storeSi 
 offices, public buildings and private dwell- 
 ings, they have no equal. Those in want 
 of a superior shade can be supplied by send- 
 ing the length and breadth of tneir win- 
 dows to Mr. Cone. 
 
 Mothers, Read Xhis!— So says 
 
 Dr. 6. T. Taft & Co., of Seneca Falls. In 
 their advertisement on page 20, they desire 
 to inform you of the wonderful qualities of 
 their "Oriental Syrup," for children. We 
 have heard of many cases where this valu- 
 able medicine has given great relief. They 
 are also proprietors of " Rosenberger'a 
 Balm of Gilead Ointment," for old sores, 
 ulcers, rheumatism, bums, chilblains, 
 
 giles, &c., and for galls, or wounds on 
 orses, it is unsarpassed. 
 
 Important Knowledge.— As mu~ 
 
 sic is now an indispensable necessity in 
 every household, any reliable information 
 is valuable as to the best place to buy mu- 
 sical instruments. We have been acquaint- 
 ed for years personally with the firm of 
 Redington & Howe, and have known of 
 their business facilities. We know that no 
 House between New York and Chicago can 
 compete with them successfully, as their 
 facihties are unequaled. In addition to 
 the immense capital at their control, they 
 have special contracts with several leading 
 first-class manufacturers, whereby they buy 
 cheaper than any other dealers in the Uni- 
 ted States anywhere. Their immense trade 
 requires only a small profit on each one of 
 their many transactions to ensure them a 
 handsome income. Their terms are most 
 highly liberal. And another important 
 consideration is that their treatment of 
 their customers is perfectly honorable, a 
 very important matter in the purchase of 
 such a complicated affair as a musical in- 
 strument. Their recommendation of in- 
 struments can be deip&nded on implicitly. — 
 This we know from an extensive acquaiD^ 
 ance among hundreds to whom they have 
 sold instrumerite. We advise our readers 
 to give them a calif or certainly to write to 
 them before deciding on the purchase of a 
 Piano Forte, Organ or Melodeon, or any 
 musical merchandise. See the Addenda to 
 this volume, which contains a portioi of 
 their catalogue. Also see card on Co. Map. 
 
 "W. C. Orcutt, General Agent for Cen- 
 tral New York for the celebrated Florence 
 Sewing Machine^ printp a well displayed 
 advertisement on page 1£2. The Florence 
 Machine makes a beautiful piece of lumi- 
 ture, and as a Sewing Machine, is capable 
 of taking a greater number of stitches than

 PUBLISHER'S NOTICES. 
 
 The Reynold's Steel Temper- 
 ing Works, Reynolds, Barber & Co., 
 Proprietors, at Auburn, are largely engaged 
 in the manufacture of Reaper and Mower 
 Knives, Plane Irons, Chisels, &c. The 
 process by which they temper steel is a pe- 
 culiar one, and as patented by Mr. Rey- 
 nolds, is the result of over forty years 
 labor. This gentleman always worked on 
 the plan that tempering steel was simply 
 cbanginff it from a Jiorous to a gramdar 
 state. He certainly has succeeded in pro- 
 ducing a finer granulation (temper) man 
 has ever before been produced. Messrs. 
 Reynolds, Barber & Co., control the patents 
 for these processes, and are applying them 
 euccees^Ily in all their manufactures. — 
 Their establishmeot is capable of turning 
 out an immense amount of work, yet their 
 orders are now, and have been for some 
 months, accumulating far in advance of 
 their present ability to supply; a circum- 
 stance which they will not long allow to be 
 the case. We predict that the time is not 
 far distant when all Mower and Reaper 
 Factories and farmers will use their im- 
 proved sections. See their advertisement 
 on page 6, fronting the Introduction. 
 
 Charles 'Vr.,Klnne, proprietor of 
 the Machine .Cooperage establishment, 
 Cortland, N. T.,' publishes a card on color- 
 ed ^ page 183, setting forth his work, to 
 which we take pleasure in calling the at- 
 tention of the public. For twenty-five 
 years thl(« establishment has been in oper- 
 ation, and by introducing the most appro- 
 ved machinery Mr. Kinne is able to furnish 
 the best of work at reasonable ratet. 
 
 Chas. Tremaln & €o.« manufac- 
 turers of Rag, Book, News, Tea and Wrap- 
 ping Paper, at Manlius, publish a card on 
 page 146. Publishers and paper dealers 
 win find them fair and honorable men to 
 purchase from. In the manufacture of 
 hook and news, they use only domestic stock, 
 which is conceded to be superior to import- 
 ed rags. They employ^ experienced paper 
 makers only, and having improved machin- 
 ery, they can insure a superior article in 
 all cases. We use their paper in the pub- 
 lication of our directories. 
 
 "E. A,» Shnm way's Wholesale and 
 
 Retail Paper Warehouse, Syracuse, is 
 always supplied with a large assortment 
 of Paper, Stationery and Printers' Mater- 
 ials, which he will furnish to the trade or 
 to consumers on as good terms as any 
 house iii Central New York. Mr. S. un- 
 derstands the wants of the public and will 
 spare no pains to suit his castomers. 
 Dealers and others will do well to give 
 him a call before purchasing elsewhere.

 gans, Melodeons and Musical Merchandise to be met with any where in the State, 
 outside of New York City. Wo offer another advantage : New York City Houses 
 keep only one Maker's instruments or their own. Here you see eighteen. • 
 
 2d. — You can see the instrument you wish to buy, and know exactly its tone. 
 Persons at tlieir homes are often in doubt whether to buy a Piano, Organ or Me- 
 lodeon. There are always great varieties in tone and finish. 
 
 3d. — You can compare each instrument with tliose of several other makers, 
 thereby judging what will suit jou best. 
 
 4th. — ^You will finifirst does instraments. Wc arc no experimental manufact- 
 urers. We select our entire stock from good reliable makers who are not ashamed 
 to own their work, and will not allow the name of a dealer to be placed on their 
 name boards as the manufacturer. We have no interest in any factory and no 
 reason to recommend any instrument except for its reliability. 
 
 5th. — We have experts in each department to test thorougM/g all goods we sell. 
 The purchases we make are only of instrimieuts selected expressly for our trade. 
 
 6th. — We warrant perfect satisfaction to every purchaser. We have always 
 done this through a successful business experience of twelve years before com- 
 ing to Syracuse. 
 
 7th. — As we buy much more largely than any other House in the State, we 
 buy cheaper. Wo give our customers the benefit of this. You save money. 
 
 8th. — We have the best wholesale facilities, so that we supply all classes of 
 dealers at the lowest New York and Boston prices. Wo have the only Whole- 
 mle Agency for the Steinway Piano Forte in Central or Western New York. We 
 can of course, retail at the lowest prices. 
 
 9th. — We employ only the best tuners, who will see to the reliability of in- 
 struments after they leave our Ware Eooms. Our traveling agents will also assist 
 in caring for instruments. 
 
 10th. — If you want low priced instruments, you will find thom hero cheaper 
 then elsewhere. We can sell you at a profit and charge you only what the retail 
 dealers jjav for their goods. 
 
 11th. — Our buying facilities enable us to purchase a lower grade of instruments 
 of large Eastern Factories, (which manufacture from two to tour hmidred instru- 
 ments per month,) at a less price than the actual first cost of constructing the 
 same, at any factory (Piano, Organ or Melodeon) in Central New York. 
 
 12th. — Our speciality is first-doss goods. On no other can we maintain per- 
 manently our large business. We shall tell you therefore, candidly, the grade 
 of instruments, if we offer you any other than first quality. 
 
 18th. — We can furnish you unequaled opportunities for exchanging instru- 
 ments ; new for new, or old for new. 
 
 14th. — The commercial standing of our house, furnishes you the strongest se- 
 curity for the reliability of the instruments, we, or our agents, sell you ; and for 
 the value of our warrant, (which we give you in addition to the warrant of the

 The Mainmotli Musical Empriii of Reiiniton & Howe. 
 
 For some time we have designed an account of tbis immense establishment, 
 that our readers might be posted in regard to one of the leading business 
 establishments of our city, and which has been brought so rapidly to magni- 
 tude by the well directed tact and indomitable energy of its proprietors. 
 
 The store No. 2 Wieting Block, is one of the largest and most elegant on 
 the main thoroughfare, and right in the very centre of the business part of 
 the town. As we pass along the street, and more especially on entering the 
 store, the eye is attracted by the elaborate and tasiefuUy arranged exhibit 
 in the show window of all the smaller class of musical instrumente, &c-, that 
 mate as an attractive a display as any window on South Salina Street. As 
 we enter, glancing to the right, the eye quickly runs over a large array of 
 Guitars, Violins, and all varieties of musical instruments and wares, on 
 shelves, hanging up, and in eases. Upon the counter of this department is a 
 Burdett Keed Organ, in a most elaborately carved case, worth $1,500. It is 
 a beauty. Next, upon the same side, we come to a long eounter, behind 
 which the shelves are loaded with Sheet Music. Prof. T. H. Hinton super- 
 Aises tqis department ; the best guarantee that the assortment is not only well 
 selected but complete. The opposite side of the store is crowded with Stein- 
 way and Dunharia Pianos, the sides being lined with the unequaled Vox 
 Humana Organs: with a large variety ot Piano and Melodeon covers, and 
 stools added above. 
 
 Passing by the center arch we come to rows and rows more of Pianos, Or 
 gans and Melodeons, of all varieties and styles. On the right is the depart 
 ment for Music Books, — a branch to which this house gives the most prompt 
 attention- Drawers the entire length of the store (140 feet) are devoted to 
 the storage of Violin and Guitar strings, Accordeons, Harmonicas, Piano 
 Polish, and multitude of the different wares to be found in a complete music 
 store, for the wholesale as well as retail trade. And still above, we find 
 more Piano and Melodeon stools, cords of Violins, Guitars, Banjos, Drums, 
 &c.. &o. Goods are also stored in the basement— the whole size of the main 
 store — finished and lighted for the purpose . 
 
 In glancing through this great establishment one particularly notices the 
 large stock and variety of Piano Fortes, Organs and Melodeons, numbering 
 more than fifty different kinds. The speciality of the proprietors is first-class 
 instruments— on which the public can rely implicitly as being worthy in 
 every way of confidence. This is an important matter for purchasers. Many 
 dealers do not hesitate to tell buyers that second grade instruments are first 
 class. Sometimes small dealers are really ignorant of what is a first class 
 instrument. Others are themselves manufacturers of second quality instru- 
 ments, and of course are bound to call their own as good as any made. 
 Sometimes, also, they sell second and third rate goods as firat grade for out- 
 rageous profits, calculating on only a brief business career in each place 
 they visit. We say then, be careful to buy first class goods, and at a house 
 where they are sure to have such. 
 
 Messrs. Redington & Howe, in a twelve years business history, have earned 
 an unblemished reputation for giving perfect satisfaction to their customers. 
 This they accomplish by knowing that everything sent out by them is exactly 
 what it is represented to be. Besides, they are independent of any parlicu-

 lap factory, and therefore the better fitted to judge between different makers. 
 While R. & H. mal^e a speciality of first class goods, they are enabled through 
 their great advantages in buying, to sell second and third grade instruments at 
 cheaper rates than any house in Central or WeBtern New York. They buy 
 at the large factories east, at a price actually less than the small makers can 
 manufacture. The proof of the matter is in the trying. We say, go to Red- 
 ington & Howe's and see what their facilities are. Their establishment is 
 well worth a visit, even if one does not wish to buy anything. All will be 
 made welcome. 
 
 (From the Syracuse Daily Courier and Union.) 
 The Immense Musical Establishment of Remnoton & Howe.— The enter- 
 prising wholesale Musio Dealers of our city, Messrs. Redington & Howe, 
 have just closed a most successful business year. Their sales have been im- 
 mense—something entirely unparalleled in the history of the Musio tradean 
 Central New York. They have deserved their increasing success. Their 
 store is the most magnificent emporium between New York and Chicago. 
 Their stock would supply a dozen ordinary city music stores. Theirs is the 
 only strictly wholesale Music House in the State outside of New York City. 
 They have even some advantages over the Metropolitan houses. Our Syra- 
 cuse wholesale store keeps constantly on hand, the Pianos; Organs and Melo- 
 deons, of several different makers, (a total of eighteen, with over fifty different 
 varieties,) while Now York houses keep only one maker's instruments. Be- 
 sides, business expenses are much less in Syracuse than in New York ; con- 
 sequently Redington & Howe are diverting much wholesale trade from New 
 York, and building up for themselves a mammoth business in supplying 
 dealers. The question is sometimes asked, whether other dealers cannot buy 
 in New York, as cheaply as Redington & Howe. The dealers have thorough- 
 ly satisfied themselves that they cannot, for there is not a house in Central 
 New York that will agree to take the great quantities of Musical Goods that 
 Redington & Howe buy. Consequently, others have to buy on a higher tariff; 
 It is on the same principle that Stewart of New York forced a neighboring 
 house to withdraw. He could sell at a profit, cheaper than his competitor 
 could buy. Messrs. Redington & Howe, have similar purchasing facilities. 
 Indeed, they can justly be called the " Stewarts " of the Music trade in Cen- 
 tral New York. 
 
 We are glad, also, to notice that Redington & Howe do a first class busi- 
 ness in the Pianos, Organs and Melodeons they furnish. Their principal 
 stock is composed of first grade instruments. The.se they advertise and rec- 
 ommend because they know their reliability. This house can furnish second 
 class instruments cheaper than any other establishment in Central New York. 
 (for the reason of buying cheaper,) so that if purchasers want a low-priced 
 instrument, Redington & Howe's is the place to procure it. We advise our 
 readers not to buy any instrument without first seeing or writing to Reding- 
 ton & Howe. They will also tell honestly the quality of the goods. 
 
 Another point : this house is financially responsible for all they recom- 
 mend. Besides having the largest capital in the Music business in Central 
 New York, they are backed up by as much more as they choose to call upon. 
 
 For everything in the musical line, go to Redington & Howe, No, 2 Wiet 
 ing Block. 
 
 (From The Eocliester Daily Union.) 
 " The House of Redington & Howe is attracting the attention of the trade 
 everywhere, on account of their superior facilities for wholesaling the ac- 
 knowledged first-class Pianos, Organs and Melodeons, as well as every 
 variety of Musical Merchandise. 
 
6 RBDiNaTOH & Howe's Ca.taxogtje. 
 
 From the Syracuse Daily Journal. 
 
 They haye a musical emporium second to none west of New York city. 
 In saying thisire do but simple 'justice to Messrs, Bedington & Hove, wha 
 occupy one of the lai^est -stores ill Central New Yxitk, fitted ttp"wito 
 an especial view to the accommodation of theitrapidly increasiifg business. 
 The Tarions departments of the mnsical business have each received pmfet 
 atteiitionj and each is conducted with a View to meet the 'demands and cater 
 to the tastes of a most fastidious public. First and foremost, Messrs. 'Red- 
 ington & Howe have in their Piano Department a full line of the Various 
 : malces of Pianos, thus restricting purchasers to no particular make of Piano, 
 but affording tiiem unusual facilities for the comparing of the various instru- 
 ments. They haVe in rtleif Organ and Melodeon 'Department all of the most 
 approved Instruments'mami&^rkd^and offer Inducements superior to any 
 establishment, to persons desirous of purchasing this kind of instruments, la 
 tbisy as in tlie Piano trade, Messrs Redingtdn ' & Howe have the e^tcblsive 
 State agency for the sale of certain makes of Pianos, Organs and Melodeons, 
 and all business connected with such instruments passes through their hands, 
 thus givibg them a chance to furnish at lower rates than any other establish- 
 ment outside of the manufacturers. 
 
 This statement is established beyond a doubt, from the fact that the manu- 
 facturers of the best grades of instruments refuse to furnish smaller dealers 
 with instruments as low as they do those dealers whom they designate as 
 their wholesale agents. The fact is well known and conceded by all persons 
 that any article can be manufactured at less cost where the manufacturers 
 are turning out hundreds of such articles monthly than they can be made by 
 manufacturers who make on a smaller scale. This would lead to the con- 
 clusion that this line of goods can be sold by Messrs. R. & H. at the lowest 
 jiossible figures. 
 
 In the smaller instrument department their stock embraces the most com- 
 ,plete and varied assortment ever opened in Central New York, with instru- 
 ments from the various leading manufactories of this and other States. The 
 isheet music department of this firm is one of the especial features of their 
 trade, and to enable them to be first and foremost in the introduction of all 
 new and popular sheet music, they have secured the services of onr well 
 known townsman. Professor T. H. Hinton, who superintends this depart- 
 ment. His well known capability, is the surest guarantee of the manner in 
 which this branch of their trade is conducted. In this departmen t at all 
 times may be found all the latest vocal and instrumental gems issued in New 
 York, Philadelphia and Boston which will be received so as to enable Messrs 
 Bedington & Howe to offer them to the public simultaneous with their 
 appearance in the Eastern cities. The department of general musical mer- 
 chandise has been supplied with everything pertaining in any wise to music, 
 and which assortment they keep fully supplied. 
 
 The immense musical emporium of Messrs. B. & H. is open at all times to 
 musicians and the public generally as a place where they can call at all 
 hours of the day and examine for themselves the various features of a well 
 conducted and stocked musical establishment. The acknowledged leader- 
 ship in the musical business has secured for them the ticket-sellitig 6f all ope- 
 ras, concerts and other first class entertainments'given in our city. 
 
 From the Daily Journal Oct., 24th, 1868. 
 
 SoMETHiNO New and Bbautifol. — Messrs Bedington & Howe have just re- 
 ceived a newly patented Burdett organ, with what we should call a Fairy 
 Bell accompaniment. By means of a stop the effect of a beautiful music 
 box or Mandoline is added. The organ is a perfect gem — worthy of a spec- 
 ial visit to their store. 
 
 This house is always foremost in introducing to the public in Central New., 
 York the various really valuable improvements that appear in tousical'

 mstraments. They are just as careful to reject tbe humbugs, and have act- 
 ually declined the agency of several pianos and organs which less informed 
 dealers here have since adopted and are trying to, sell. 
 
 *u''^''l^°"°^°*® business acquaintance of Redington & Howe, together vith 
 their high reputation in New Yorli, Boston and Chicago, as the strongest and 
 most energetic house in New York State (outside of the city), secures to 
 them the first choice in regard to the agency of any manufacturers of musical 
 instruments in the United States. 
 
 Their Mammoth trade enables them to buy cheaper than any other Cen- 
 tral New York House, as they buy so much more largely. While their 
 principal trade is in first-class articles, they are able to furnish second or 
 third grade instrumenta, cheaper than the first cost of manufacture in this 
 city. They buy of large eastern factories, which, on account of operating 
 on a larger basis, can manufacture much cheaper than small concerns. And 
 K. & H. buy very closely, because buying so much, On this account tjey 
 can and do sell cheaper— qualities of the goods being considered, than any 
 other house. For this reason parties in Albany, Troy, Utica, Rochester and 
 Buffalo are sending to Redington & Howe for instruments. 
 
 We advise our readers to call there— No. 2 Wieting block— by all means, 
 before buying any musical instrument or merchandise. 
 
 (From The Northern Christian Advocate, Auburn.) 
 " This is an old House, and has the best kind of a record for prompt busi- 
 ness ability and for reliable and honorable dealing. They secure perfect 
 satisfaction to all customers, whether wholesale or retail. Their facilities are 
 the best of any establishment in Central or Western New York, and their 
 prices correspondingly liberal. Pastors, Churches, Sabbath Schools and 
 families will do well to correspond with or visit this House. Redington & 
 Howe are known to us and we can recommend them as reliable dealers.'' 
 
 (.From The Auburn D.aily Advertiser.) 
 
 " A prompt, honorable House, who have the best facilities in Western New 
 York for the Mnsic Business, and whn secure satisfaction to all customers." 
 
 (From Tlie Oswego Daily Palladiiim.) 
 " They are thorough, honorable business men, with a larger capital and 
 better facilities than any House in the State, outside of New York City. They 
 keep the best instruments manufactured, and are fully responsible for the 
 warrant they give of perfect satisfaction. We are certain that our citizens 
 will do well to visit or correspond with this House."

 MncH Music. — We bad no adequate idea of the magnitude of Redington & 
 Howe's transactions in musical instruments until permitted the other day to 
 see their order book. We were surprised at the number of instruments 
 making their way over the country. We noticed especially a single order 
 recently sent, which surpasses the entire yearly business of many retail es- 
 tablishmenlB. The order was for one hundred and seven Burdett organs 
 and melodeons, having an aggregate value of over $20,000. We now see 
 why Redington & Howe pay the only wholesale dealer's license in the music 
 line, assessed by "Unele Sam" in Central New York. They sell such large 
 quantities because they can sell cheaper than any other dealers, (as low, if 
 neccessary, as their competitors buy or manufacture their goods.) They are 
 also well known to be entirely reliable and honorable in their transactions.

 TO THE PUBLIC. 
 
 The great combination of improvements attained in the Dunham 
 Piano-Forte in regard to tone, touch, power, equality, durability and 
 workmanship, has built for it a reputation which, to-day, stands un- 
 rivalled in every section of the country, and has also elicited from the 
 most eminent prof essors, oriticB, connoisseurs, and the most energetic 
 of our competitors, the unanimous opinion that the Dunham Piano 
 can not be excelled. 
 
 Being confident that the production of a good article is the best 
 and surest road to success, we have always aimed for perfection in our 
 manufactures, regardless of cost. The patronage which such a course 
 of business has gained for us, without the meretricious aid of Medals 
 or Foreign Decorations, has proven satisfactory to us beyond our most 
 sanguine expectations, and placed us in the highest position of the 
 Piano-Forte trade. 
 
Redington & Howe's Catalogue. 9 
 
 While claiming as we do, without the fear of contradiction, for our 
 house, the honor of first introducing to the American public this last 
 great era of Piano-Forte improvement, which has given to American 
 Pianos the highest honors, and whose perfections have astonished the 
 world, we would state that the First Grand Square Piano made by us 
 some fifteen years since, served as the model for the great improve- 
 ment in American Piano Fortes. 
 
 We also own the patent, now expired, for the cross or Over-Strings, 
 which is now in general use — so popular has it become, and so pecu- 
 niarily satisfactory has it proved to us, that we freely gave it to the 
 world. 
 
 The Agraffe arrangement we have used in Pianos for a period of 
 thirty years. 
 
 MERITS OF THE DUNHAM pmNO-FORTE- 
 
 Its Dtrrability Iia8,become a proverb. 
 
 Thousands of them can be found in use, which have required no 
 repairs, other than tuning, during a period of thirty years. 
 
 In Workmanship, It cannot be 'surpassed if equaled. 
 
 The best materials and the most accomplished woi-kmen, only are 
 employed in its construction. 
 
 In Power, Solidity, Purity, and Equality of Tone, it has no 
 compeer. i 
 
 It is pronounced by the elite of the musical profession, and the 
 diletianti the most perfect Piano made. 
 
 As a Safe Investment, it is the best. 
 
 Dealers throughout the country, who have sold thousands of 
 them during our business career, have never had one returned 
 for being defective; nor have they, during a period of nearly 
 twenty years, been called on to pay five dollars for repairs on the 
 whole number sold. 
 
 It can be sold after years of use, for nearly, if not quite, its 
 original cost. 
 
 We havo orders for any quantity of them, at an advance of 33K 
 
 per cent over any other make of half its age. 
 
 It is warranted in the most satisfactory manner. 
 
 The commercial standing of our house ia sufScient guarantee that 
 any claim will meet with instant liquidation. 
 
 The Juries of the Universal Exposition'of Paris, admit that Amer- 
 ican Pianos are the best, therefore Americans must be the best judges. 
 Convinced that such is the fact, we have always striven to meet their 
 critical requirements, and their approbation and patronage has been 
 our reward; and we shall continue to manufacture such Instruments 
 as wiU command the HICJHESX POSITION \TS THE ART, 
 regardless of Foreign Medals or Boyal Decorations.

 THE DUNHAM PIANO^FORTE. 
 
 In asking attention to the preceding circnlar of the mEkmfacturers.' we add 
 a few 
 
 REASONS FOR BUYING A DUNHAM PIANO. 
 
 This establishment is the oldest in the country and possessed of the most 
 valuable experience, taking the lead in important improTemenis. (Tbey 
 were the inventors of the Overstrung Bass and own the Patent.) 
 
 The; have the largest capital of any establishment, without exception. 
 
 Their workmanship is the most perfect and durable possible. 
 
 Their scales are the most perfect. 
 
 Note — We ask attention to the following criticism from Watson's Art 
 Journal. 
 
 " Their new square is one of the most beautiful instruments we ever heard. 
 In depth, purity, and grandeur of tone, it can hardly be equaled ; its touch 
 is exquisitely sensitive ; the registers are perfectly equalized ; it sings with 
 a wonderful purity of vibration, and the quality of its sound is refined, lim- 
 pid and melodious, and at the same time, great in sonority and briliance. 
 
 It is truly a perfect Piano. 
 
 The house of Dnnham.has also been among the intellectual leaders of Piano 
 improvers, and this new Piano is another step in advance, whiph mil still 
 further enhance its reputation." 
 
 The Action of the Dunham is perfect. 
 
 These Pianos have a peculiar timbre of tone, clear and melodeous, pre- 
 ferred by the majority of musicians to thai of any other Piaru> whatever. 
 
 The price is more reasonable than that of any other first-class maker. 
 
 Finally the house is of the most honorable character and ensure beyondvthe 
 possibility of doubt the moxt perfect satisfaction, to every owner of one of the 
 Dunham Pianos. 
 
 A most important improvement has just been introduced by Messrs. Dunham 
 & Sons' in the construction of the Upright or Boudoir Piano. 
 
 The large size 6f the Full Scale Square Piano has always been an objection 
 from the amount of standing room required for the instrument. The Upright 
 form has always been preferred and is the popular style in Europe and among 
 the older miisical nations. 
 
 While possessing a quality of tone so peculiarly its own and generally pre- 
 ferred to the other grades of Pianos, an objection has always been raised to 
 its general use on account of its complicated action. Messrs. Dunham ASons 
 have removed this great objection in the new 
 
 Dunluim Upright Grand. 
 
 This Piano has all the merits of the compactness and beauty of form of the 
 Upright pattern and employs at the same time the simple action of the Square 
 Piano. 
 
 The arrangement of the Scale in the Dunham Upright is diagonal instead of 
 perpendiculai;, thereby giving an immense advantage in power omA beauty cf 
 tone, as well as in the arrangement of the action. In full, round, rich power 
 
 IT EQUALS A FULL SIZED CONCERT GRAND! 
 
 with an indescribable sweetness that the Grand does not possess. 
 
 Another most important feature is tlie woTiderftd cheapness in price as com- 
 pared with the same qualtity and quantity of tone In any other form. 
 
 We ore the Manufacturer's Special Agents for the State of Now York and por- 
 tions of some other States, and svippfy dealers of all grades, as well ae retail

 As these wonderful instruments are so well known, we do not take, 
 the space to re-produoe theii- price list, (ranging from $650, to $1800.) 
 
 rhese Piano-Fortes have twice taken the first prize over all the 
 Pianos of the World, and are universally acknowledged to be the beat

 The Compeer and only Boston rival of the Chickering, (having sever-

 furnished by the manufacturers at a very small margin of profit. It 
 is sold wonderfully low for such a complete first-class Piano Forte, 
 affording customers a large saving of money. When we consider its 
 extremely reasonable price, in connection with its unsurpassed quali- 
 ty and durability, and the unexcelled perfection and beauty of its 
 scales, this Piano is UNKrvAiLED.

 HINTS ON THB PRESERVATION OF THE PIANO. 
 
 It is evident that if the Piano is to remain in good order for many years, 
 good care must be taken of it. Tlie iastrament should be closed when not in 
 use, in order to prevent the collection of dust, pins, etc., on the sound-board; 
 however, it must not be closed tor a period of several months or longer, but 
 be opened occasionally, and the daylight allowed to strike the keys, or else 
 the ivory may turn yellow. 
 
 Any hard substance, no matter how small, dropped inside the Piano, will 
 caus>t a rattling, jarring noise. 
 
 It is ia every case desirable that an india-rubber or cloth should protect 
 the instrnment from bruises and scratches, as well as dampness. 
 
 The Piano should not be placed in a damp room, or left open in a draught 
 of air — dampness is its most dangerous enemy, causing the strings and turn- 
 ing pins to rust, the cloth used in the construction of uie keys of action, to 
 swell, whereby the mechanism will move sluggishly, or often stick altogether. 
 This occurs chiefly in the summer season, and the best Pianos,tmade of the 
 most thoronghly seasoned material, are necessarily the mast affected by 
 dampness, the absorption being more rapid. Extreme heat is scarcely less 
 injarious. The Piano should not be placed very near to an open fire or a 
 heated stove, nor over close to the hot air from furnaces now in general use. 
 
 Moths are very destructive to the cloth and felt used in the Piano, and may 
 be kept out of it by placing a lump of camphor, wrapped in soft paper, in 
 the inside corner, care being taken to renew it from time to time. 
 
 Many persons are unaware of the great importance of having their Pianos 
 kept in order, and only tuned by a competent tuner. A new Piano should be 
 tuned at least every three or four months, during the first year, and at long- 
 er intervals afterward. 
 
 Sow to Unjtack a Piano. 
 
 Take out the screws holding the lid of the box, remove the lid, take out 
 the Piano legs and lyre, rem5ve the board across the inside box. Place two 
 benches or strong wide chairs, which should be covered with a quilt or other 
 soft substance, alongside the box where the back of the Piano is, slide the 
 Piano toward the end where the legs were — about six inches, have the Piano 
 lifted out by four persons, one at each corner, and set it on the two benches 
 or chairs on its back. 
 
 Unscrew the cross-boards on each end of the bottom, and put the lyre and 
 legs on, which are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, for their respective places. Have the 
 four persons lift.the Piano off the benches and set it down so that the four 
 legs will touch the floor at the same time. Unlock the instrument (the key 
 will be found tied to the lyre,) and wipe off the dust lightly with a soft silk 
 handkerchief, or piece of buck-skin. 
 
 Purchasing Musical Instruments. 
 
 There is, probably, no article of household equipment, the construction of 
 which the majority of purchasers know so little of as pianos. There are few 
 articles that are used so continuously, and for the length of time that pianos 
 are, hence the importance of durability. The finest case may cover a fifth 
 rate interior ; a fine tone piano when new may subsequently prove to be 
 made of cheap material that fails after a few years use. 
 
 Cheap Pianos with which the country is flooded, are invariably the most ex- 
 pensive in the end, i. e., if we estimate loss of tone and constant annoyance 
 by the instrument being out of repair, of any account. It is wisest therefore, 
 for purchasers to get their instruments of dealers, if they are to be found, 
 who are known as practical men, both musically and mechanically, as well 
 as honorable. — Ogdensburg Daily Journal.

 THE BURDETT ORGANS. 
 
 Are happy to announce that they have secured the State Agency for the above 
 Organs. Our own opinion agrees with the acknowledgement of all leading Mu- 
 sicians as to the groat superiority of the Burdctt Organ, with its present patented

 A careftil examination of tliese Instruments will -convince any lover of the 
 beautiful in music, that these organs contain more purity of tone — more variety 
 of expression— more power, than any other Organ known. 
 
 We would call cspepial attention to their last great improvements, the Combi- 
 KATioJT Okoan of Mr. Burdett, and the wonderful Vox Celestb Stop ; the Cam- 
 PAKELiA ATTAcnMENT of Mr. K. M. Cai-pcntcr, together with his Improved Vox 
 Humana Tremolo. Also, the impioved Haemonio Attaohmeht, (douhline the 
 power ;) the Patent Manual Sub-Bass, (giving a wonderful depth and volume 
 of tone ;) the Orchestral Swell ; the Double Blow Pedals, and otherrf 
 
 THE COMBINATION OEGAN 
 
 Has one and a half Banks of Keys, with four Sets of Seeds, tuned in a manner 
 to eive the gi-eatest variety possible in a Eeed instrument. 
 
 We have only space to mention one peculiar and beautiful stop in the Combina- 
 tion Organ, the effect of which heretofore has never been heard in a Eeod Organ. 
 
 THE VIOLINCELLO STOP, 
 
 used for solos alone, is most entrancing when used witli the Vox Humana. It 
 se^ns almost to speak w^ords— certainly it speaks to the heart of every listener. 
 No one should fail to make inquiry about this Organ. 
 .THE VOX CELESTE STOP 
 
 Is a new and most valuable improvement, which brings into use an extra set of 
 reeds, which, by their peculiar arrangement and method of tuning, produce a 
 wonderfully beautiful string quality of tone, with a most astonishing power, sur- 
 passing all the previous efforts of the inventor. This admirable improvement, 
 which has created such a sensation among Organ makers, as well as with the 
 Musical Public, is found only in the Burdett Organ. 
 
 THE CAMPANELLA ATTACHMENT, 
 The latest and best of all Mr. Carpenters inventions, now for the Mrst timeplaced 
 before the public, will, when listened to, teU its own sweet story. The Campa- 
 . nella is a stop resembling the tinkling of Fairy' Bells, . or the rippling waters of 
 a fountain, making music so sweet and harmonious, that it passes jEolian-like 
 over the senses— as passes the music of a Harp at night touched by Fairy fingers. 
 This enchanting stop should certainly be heard by all lovers of music. The 
 patent has been applied for by Mr. Capenter, the inventor. 
 THE VOX HUMANA TEEMOL(J 
 of Ml'. K. M. Carpenter, so much admired by musicians every where, needs only 
 a word. It has already become a Household Glory, and no Organ is complete 
 without the beauty it imparts to the tone. This stop should not be confounded 
 with Mr. Cai'penter's former invention. It is an improved Vox Humana^-has no 
 third pedal— as perfectly noiseless in its operation--has no clock work to get out 
 of orcfer— is entirely simple in construction— is found only in the Burdett Organ— 
 and when once heard, delights and fascinates the listener. 
 
 We invite the most rigid scrutiny of these Organs by Dealers, the Profession 
 and the Musical Public, to prove the justice of the title acknowledged to them as 
 THE BEST OEGAN IN THE WOELT). 
 
 We have constantly on hand a large stock of these E.vcelsior Instruments. We 
 supply all classes or dealers, as well as retail customers, at the lowest Factory 
 rates. Agents will soon be found at aU principal points. 
 
 Satisfaction warranted in all transactions. Send for Illustrated Catalogue.

 THE ESTEY ORGANS. ^-^^^ 
 
 This Voteran House (ostabliBhed ia 1846) )iolds its raiik at the head, and are 
 now finishing eveiy month hundreds of Organs'and Melodcons, which are a just 
 ei-cdit to American skill and enterprise. 
 
 The vast amount of patronage received, has been secured more by the actual 
 merits of the instrument, than by extensive advertising and the pretentious pa- 
 i-ade of their wares before the public. They have emploved and retained, from 
 the first, some of the finest mechanics and inventors of the age, and have adopt- 
 ted, and patented more valuable imiirovcments, than anv other establishment in ' 
 the hind. As the result, their instruments stand unrivalled' by anything found 
 in this country or in Eijrope, as is admitted by all impai'tial judges. The most 
 eminent Pipe-Organ builders and performers — the last to discover excellence in 
 reed tones — pronounce them much superior to others. 
 
 They possess the following iuiprovciiiculs : 
 
 THE PATENT HAltllONKJ ATTACHMENT is an octave coupler ui*d on 
 a single manual, and doubles the power of the instrument without increasing its 
 size or number of reeds. Thus, by the use of this improvement, an Organ con- 
 taining two sets of reeds is instantly made equivalent to one of four ; and a tri- 
 recd equals an instrument of si.x sets of reeds, making the most poweekul 
 instrument of its size yet known in this country. 
 
 THE PATENT MANUAL SUB-BASS brings into use an independent set of 
 large aud powerful sub-bass heeds, which are played with the ordinary keys and 
 controlled by a stop. The manner in which this set of reeds is placed upon the 
 air chamber increases the volume of tone at least one-third. This new and val- 
 uabl<i invention requires no extra room, and has all the effect of pedal bass, and 
 can be used by any ordinary performer. 
 
 THE PATENT KNEE-SWELL, whereby the player has complete control 
 over the instrument, obtaining a perfect Cbesoendo or Diminuendo, more beau- 
 tiful than the Automatic Swell, or any other ever before used. 
 
 THE PATENT ORGAN BELLOWS greatly enhances the power and quality 
 of the tone without increasing the size of the case. 
 
 THE PATENT EEED BOAED, whereby the tone is greatly improved, ren- 
 dering it more like a Pipe Organ than is found in any other instrument. This 
 important improvement is covered by two patoiit.s. 
 
 THE 1'ATE^■T VOX HUMANA TK£MOL(X 
 In attempting to describe the effect of this stop, wo are at a loss for language ; 
 it« beauties cannot be written, but must be heard to bo appreciated. By this 
 stop an ordinary performer can produce an elfuet wliioli requires a lifetime of 
 practice for an artist upon the Violin. 
 
 It changes entirely the rced-tonc, jriving tlic sympathotio sweetness of the 
 HuMAS Voice, making it so melodious and pure that it never fails to enchant 
 the appreciative listener. » 
 
 The Tremolo is produced by means of a kevolving rA.v jilaced just back of 
 the swell, which imparts to the tone a charming wave-like eft'ect hitherto un- 
 known in instrumental music. 
 
 THE VOX JU'BILANTE 
 
 Is a new and beautiful stop, peculiar to the Estey Okua.n.-. The character of 
 the tone is marked and wonderfully effective, givi^^g. at style of music hitherto 
 unattained in instruments of this class. This is accomplished by an extra set of 
 reedsT, ingeniously arranged, and adjusted to meet this special, and hitherto un- 
 supplied want. It is considered by competent judges a great success.

 Popularity of the Dunham Piano. 
 
 We are Bometimes asked why the Dunham Piano Forte has not been more 
 prominently before the public for the last 'eight years. We give the reason. 
 At the commencement of theHaie war, the Dunham, senior, concluded to de- 
 crease the very large|manufacturiiig done by himself, so long as public at- 
 tention should be so completely absorbed in the stirring events then tran- 
 spiring, consequently he diminished his force employed and sent during the 
 war the greater portion' of bis|pianos to the CanadianIProvinces,l( Where the 
 demand for the Dunham Pianos call for more than five hundred instru- 
 ments every year). 
 
 At the conclusion of the war, he associated with him two sons as partners, 
 built a new factory, and the firm of John B. Ddnuam & Sons are now manu- 
 facturing very largely. 
 
 The high opinion of their pianos entertaineu by Piano Dealers is evinced 
 by the great desire of the principal houses to secure the Dunham agency. 
 
 Leiter Brother's Jewelry House. 
 
 These gentlemen occupy a portion of the shelf 'and counter room in our 
 store With a very fine stock of well assorted Jewelry and Silver Ware. Their 
 connections' with a New York Importing House enable them to sell at whole- 
 sale and retail cheaperjthan_any House west of New,York City.
