In presenting to the public the "Gazetteer and Business Directory of Schoharie County," the publisher desires to return his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly aided in obtaining the information it contains, and without whose aid it would have been impossible to cpUect it in the brief space of time in which it is e'ssential that all such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to the several Editors of the Schoharie Union and. Schoharie Bepublican, Soh.6h.axie; CohlesJeill Index, Cobleskill ; Schoharie County Democrat, Richmondville ; and the Middleburgh Gazette, Middleburgh; for the uniform kindness which has been evinced in calling attention to the author's efforts ; and to the following persons, viz., Wm. T. Broughton, Town Clerk, Summit ; Dr. Peter S. Swart, Almerin Gallup, John Morrison, County Clerk, Ghas. Holmes, County Judge, Rev. J. H. Heck, Schoharie ; John Van Voris, School Commissioner, Cobleskill ; Ambrose E. Hunting, School Com- missioner, Gallnpville ; and John F. Hazelton, Aest. Assessor Internal Revenue, Esperance, for essential aid in furnishing material for the work. Many others have kindly volunteered their assistance, to all of whom we return our sincere thanks. The following works have been consulted in its preparation : French's, Gordon's and Spafford's Gazetteers of the State of New York; "Documentary History of New York;" Lossing's " Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution ;" Simms' « History of Schoharie ;" Campbell's " Annals of Tryon County ;" Census Reports; Proceedings of Board of Supervisors; and many others. INTSODUaTION. That errors have occurred in 8o great a number of names and dates as are here given is probable ; and that names hare been omitted which should have been inserted is quite certain. We can only say that we have exercised more than ordinary dili- gence and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book- making. Of such as feel aggrieved in consequence of errors or omission we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in marking such as have been observed in the subsequent read- ing of the proofs, and which are found in the JErrata, following the Introduction. It was designed to give a brief history of all the church or- ganizations in the County, but owing, in some cases, to the neg- ligence of those who alone were able to give the necessary in- formation, and in others, to the inability of any o»e to do so, we have been obliged to omit many or indefinitely delay the completion of the work. We would suggest 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 Weed, Parsons & Co., of Albany, and will, it is believed, prove a valuable acquisition to the work. The Advertisers represent some of the leading business men and firms of »this and other counties ; and we most cheerfully commend them all to the patronage of those under whose observation these pages may come. With thanks to our friends generally, we leave our work to secure the favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating public. HAMILTON CHILD. BSBATA. ERRA-Tj^. ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. Tbe Territories.— The 41st Congress erected tbe District of Colombia into a Territory, nnder the name of "Territory of Columbia." Stamp Dntles.— The last (Congress passed an act, " That on and after the first day of October, 1870, the stamp tax imposed in Schedule B, on promissory notes for a less snm than one hundred dollars, and on receipts for any sum of money, or for the pay- ment of any debt, and the stamp tax imposed in Schedule C, on canned and preserved fish, be, and the same are hereby repealed. And no stamp shall be regnirea upon the transferor assignmentof a mortgage, where it or the instrument it secures has been once duly stamped." Postal Bates and Regnlatlons. — The postal arrangements with foreign countries are subject to such freanent changes, that, as given is this work, they should not be relied upon for any great length of time. The rates and reguUtlons for Domestic mail matter, however, can be relied upon at all times. nilddlebnrsb.— 3^ Toung Peopl»'$ Moral Aaioeiation, of Euntereland, was or- ganized in the summer of 1871, and now numbers 70 members. The Association publish- es a literary journal, called the Leiture Bour, which is edited by Alice Sweet. This society, we are informed, is in a very prosperous condition. Scbobarle.— The following was fhrnished to us by Almerin GaMhp, Esq., of Schoharie: "Old Stonb Fobt Csmbtebt, Sohohakib, N. Y.— The old stone Fort,Btand!ng on the f rounds of the Cemetery, and situate one mile north-east of the Schoharie County Court [ouse, on the hill near Fox's Creek, (of which yon have a splendid view f^om the rail road as you approach the village of Schoharie) was formerly the German High Dutch Be- formed church, and used for more than 70 years for Divine worship by that congregation. It was built in 1772, (one hundred years ago,) and during the Bevolution was used as a fort, and often times as a place of safety for the entire families of the early settlers for < miles around, of whom we may safely say there is none now living, *no not one,' bat the remains of many are now restmg in their graves in the adjoining Cemetery surrounding the old Fort, among which is that of Col. Peter Yroman, who commanded the Fort, and many of his brave companions in arms. In 1780 it was attacked by the Indians and Tories, under the command of Johnson and Brant, and the holes made by cannon ball are BtiU plainly to be seen. The old Fort is a substantial, well built building, and is still in a good state of preservation ; it is now owned and used by the State as an Arsenal, and la to be preserved as a relic of the Bevolution and in memory of the brave men who displayed their courage and patriotism in defending their country in the fearfhl Btrug^e for American Independence. It has lone been in contemplation to have the re- mains of David Williams, (one of the captors of Major Andre,)who died in this County, removed to the Old Stone Fort Cemetery, and a suitable monument erected to ms memory ; also that of Col. Yroman and others. The Old Stone Fort Cemetery was dnly incorporated as a Bnral Cemetery under the laws of the State in 1859, but the grounds were sadly neglected nntil 1868, when the inhabitants were aroused to a sense of their duty to the departed, a new board of trustees were elected, consisting of Doctor Feter 10 EBSATA.

A very large number of lots have been sold within the last four years, and many people, for seTcral miles round, are removing the remains from their private burial groonds to this Cemetery, which now contains a Vault, and soma of the finest and most costly monuments in the County."

In all cases where an adhesive stamp is used for denoting the stamp duty upon an instrument, the person using or affixing the same must write or imprint thereupon in ink the initials of bis name, and the date (the year, month, and day) on which the same Is attached or used. * Each stomp should be separately cancelled. Wheh stamps are printed upon checks. Sua., so that m fflling up the instrument, the fiice of the stamp is and must necessarily be writ- ten across, no other cancellation will be re- guired. : All cancellation must be distinct and legi- ble, and except in the case of proprietary stamps from pnvate dies, no method of cancellation which differs from thi^t above described can be recognized as legal and sufficient. PENALTIES. A penalty of fifty (lollars is imposed upon every person who makes, signs, or issues, or who causes to be madq, signed, or issu- ed, any paper of any kind or description whatever, or who accepts, negotiates, or pays, or causes to be accepted, negotiated, or paid, any bill of exchange, draft, or or- der, or promissory note, for the payment of money, without the same being duly stamp- ed, or having thereupon an adhesive stamp for denoting the tax chargeable thereon, cancelled in the manner required by law, with intent to evade the provisions of the revenue act. A penalty of two hundred dollars is im- posed upon every person who pays, negJ^ tiates, or offers in payment, or receives or takes inpayment, any bill of exchange or order for the payment ofany sum of money drawn or purporting to be drawn in a for- eign country, but payable in the Unitei States, until the proper stomp has been af- fixed thereto. A penalty of fifty dollars is Imposed upon. every person who fraudulently makes use of an adhesive stamp to denote the dnt^ re- quired by the revenue act, vrithont efi'ectu- ally cancelling and obliterating the same in the manner required bylaw. Attention is particularly called to the fol- lowing extract from section 156, of the act of June 30, 1864, as amended by the act of July 13, 1866 : "If any person shall wilfhlly 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 tne use of the same, after it shall have been used once, or shall know- ingly or wilfoUy sell or buy such washed or restored stamps, or offer the same for sale, or give or expose the same to any per- 38 STAMP DUTIES. son for nse, or knowingly use the same or prepare the same with intent for the far- ther nse thereof, or if any person shall knowingly and without lawful excuse (the proof whereof shall lie on the person accus- ed) have in his possession any washed," re- stored, or altered stamps, which have heen 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 confinement to hard labor not exceeding five years, or both, at the. discretion of the court." ■ It is not lawful to record any instrument, document, or paper required by law to be stamped, or any copy thereof, unless a stamp or stamps of the proper amonnt have been affixed and cancelled in the manner required by law ; and such instrument or copy and the record thereof are utterly null and 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. should be reported to the United States District Attor- ney within and for the district where they are committed. GENERAL KEMAKKS. Bevenne stamps may be used indiscrimi- nately upon any of the matters or things enumerated in Schedule 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 instm- 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 Bevenue assume to determine that it shall be supplied by one party rather tffianby 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, pr used in ev- idence, in any court, until a legal stamp or stamps, denoting the amonnt of tax, shall have been affixed 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 revenue act. The first act imposing a stamp tax upon certain specified instruments took effect, 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 snrren- • der, or prior to the establishment of collec- tion districts there, is erroneous. Instruments issued in those States since October 1, 1862. are subject to the same tax- es as similar ones issued at the same time in the other States. . No stamp is necessary upon an Instrument executed pnor to October 1, 1862, to make it admissible in evidence, or to entitle it to record. Certificate! iif loan in which there shall appear any written or printed evidence of an amonnt 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 instrument, the stamp to which the instrument is liable under the law, may be affixed and cancelled by either of them ; *id "when more than one signatnreis affix- ed to the same paper, one or more stamps may be afiixed thereto, representing the whole amount of the stamp required for such signatures." No stamp is required on any warrant of attorney accompanying 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— siich stamp 4uty being the highest rate required for such in- struments, or either of them. In such case a note or memorandum of the value or de- 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 154, by striking out the words "or used ;" the exemption thereun- der is thus restricted to documents, &c. itsued by the officers therein named Also to the changes in sectiops 152 and 158, by inserting the words "and cancelled in the manner required by law." The acceptor 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 country, bnt payable in the United States, most, before paying or accepting the same, place thereupon a stamp indicating the duty. It is only upon conveyances of realty joW that conveyance stamps are necessary: A deed of real estate made without valuable consideration need not be stamped as a conveyance ; bnt if it contains covenants, such, for instance, as a covenant to warrant and defend the title, it should be stamned as an agreement or contract. Whrai a deed purporting to be a convey anoe of realty sold, and stamned according- ly, IS inoperative, a deed of^confirmation, made simply to cure the defect, requires no stam^ In such case, the second deed should contain a recital of the facts, and ^''■2"lS5'""' **'§ 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 1o each: but where money or other valuaKe consii eratlon is paid by one co-tenant to another for equality of partition, there is a sale to the extent ofsnch consideration, and the conveyance: by the party receiving it. should be stamped accordingly. A conveyance ol lands sold for nnnaid t^es, issued since August 1, 1866, by the officers of any county, (own, or other mu- STAMP DUTIES. 39 nicipal corooraUon in the discharge of their strictly official daties, Is exempt from stamp tax, A conveyance of realty sold, snbject to a mortgage, should he stamped according to the consideration, or the value gf the prop- erty ttnencmnierea. The consideration m 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 tbe mortgagor and the other part to the mort- gagee does not change the liability ot the conveyance. The stamp tas upon a mortgage is based upon the amonnt itls given to secure. The fact that the value of the property mortgag- ed is less than that amount, and that conse- quently the security is- only partial, does not change theliability 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 mortgages 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 firom loss, or given for any purpose whatever, other than as security for tne payment of a definite and certain sum of money, is taxa- able only as an agreement or contract. The stamp duty upon a lease, agreement, memorandum, or contract for the nire, 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 y6ar, 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 amonnt remaining unpaid ; this tax Js re- quired upon every such transfer in writing, whether there is a sa/e of the mortgage or not ; but no stamp Is necessary upon the endorsement of a negotiable instrument, even though the legal effect of such In dorse- ment is to transfer a mortgage by which the instrument is secured. An assignment of a lease wltliin the mean- ing and intent of Schedule B, is an assign- ment of the leaeeTiold, 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 rignta, or some portion of the rights, of tbe lessee, or of the person standing in nis 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 snbject to stamp tax as a contract or agreement only. The stamp tax upon a Are 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 asBessments to meet the losses incurred by the oampany, should not he reckoned as premium in de- termining the amount of stamp taxes upon thepolicies. When a policy of Insurance properly stamped has been issuea and lost, no stamp is necessary upon another issued by the same company to the same party, covering the same property, time, &o., and designed simply to supply the loss. The second policy should recite the loss of the first. An Instrument which operates as ^he re- newal ofa policy 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 instrument which as the legal effect to continue the contract and extend its operation beyond that time, re- quires the same amount of revenue stamps as the policy Itself; but such a receipt as Is usually given for the payment of the 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 conaitions ; 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 payment has passed, and a tender of the premium is not Bufiicient to bind the company, but a new policy or a new contract in some form, with the mutuality essential to every contract, becoines necessary between the insurer and the insured, the same amonnt of stamps should be used as that required upon the original policy. A permit issued by a life insurance com- pany changing the terms of a policy as to travel, residence, occupation, &c., shonld be stamped as a contractor agreement. A bill single or a bill obligatory, i. e., an instrument in the form ofa promissory note, uncter seal, is snbject to stamp duty as written or printed evidence of an amount of money to be paid on demand or aUa time designated, at the rate of five cems for each one hundred dollars or fractional part thereof. A waiver of protest, or of demand and notice, written upon negotiable paper and signed by tlie indorser, is an agreement, and requiMs a five-cent stamp. A stamp duty of twenty-flve 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 affida- vit of the deponent, such as a certificate that the parties were or were not notified, that thej did or did not appear, that they did or did not object, &e., it Is subject to a stamp duty of five cents. When am attested copy ofa writ or other 40 STAMP DUTIES. process is nsedhya sheriff or other person m making personal service, or in attaching property, a flve-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- tnmeoto aw officer of a State, county, city, town, or other municipal corporation, to constitute part of a public record, reguires no stamp; but if it is to be retained by the parties, a five-cent stamp should be af- fixed. The Btamp 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, orofboth, for the benefit of creditors, should be stamped as an agreement or con- tract. Written or printed assignments of agree- ments, bonds, notes not neg;otiable, and of all other instmm.^ts the assignments pf which are not particularly specified in the foregoing spheaQle, should be stamped as agreements. ' ' ' No stamp is necessary upon the registry of a judgment, 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 religions, 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 may be used representing the whole amount reqnir^. A notice from landlord to tenant t» quit poBsesridn 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. a a vessel clears in ballast and has no cargo whatever, no stamp is necessary; Witifshe has any, however small theamount —a stamp shomd 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 upon 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 belon^ng 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 bonit mm should be stamped according to the amount of property re- mainingto be administered npon thereun- der, regardless of the stamps upon the orig- inal letters. A mere copy of an instrumentis not sub- ject to stamp duty unless it is a certified one, in which case a five-cent stamp should be affixed to the certificate of the person attesting it : but when the 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.

Infallible Rules for Detecting Counterfeit or. Spurious Bank Notes. BiTLiE 1st.— Examine the Bbading of the letters in title of Bank called LATBSTrpitE, which in genuine notes presents an eVen, straight, light and silky appearance, gen- erally so flne and smooth as to appear to he all in one solid, pale body. In the connter- feit the lines are coarse and irregnlar, and in many of the longer lines breaks will be perceived, thns presenting a very inferior finish in comparison togennine work, 2d.— Observe the dies, circles and ovals in the genuine ; they are composed of a network of lines, which, by crossing each other at certain angles, prodace an endless variety of figures ; sezthkokeobhtstaitp ATTACHED. The fine line alone is the unit which enables you to detect spurious work. In the counterfeit, the bbpbxsxntbd white lines are coarse, irregular, and cross each other in a confused, inegnlar manner, thns producing . blurred and imperfect flgnres. 8d,— Examine the form and features of all human figures on the note. In (he gen- nine, the texture of the skin is represented by fine dots and lines intermixed. In'the eyes, the pupil is distinctly visible, and the white dearly 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 accniatel^ defined. The hair of the head 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 ; the hair does not Dear that soft and finished appearance as in the genuine. 4th.— Examine the imprint or engraver's names in the evenness and shape of the flne letters. Counterfeits never bear the imprint perfect. This rule should be strict- ly obserred, as It Is infeUible in detecting counterfeits. 5th. — ^In the genuine note the landscapes are well toiened ; trees and shrubs are neatly drawn; the lim1>s well proportioned, and the foliage presenting a fine natural appearance ; ^ear sky is formed of fine parallel lines, and when clonds or heavy skies appear, they cross each other, and bear a soft, smooth and natural appear- ance. ' The perspective, showing a view of the Burronnding; country, is always clear and distinct. The small figures in the iiackgronnd are always plainly seen, and their ontlines and general character 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 careftilly the car most distant. In the counterfeit the landscape is usually po6rly executed ; the leaves of trees poorly and unnaturally defined. — The lines representing still water are scratchy rather than parallel, the sky is represented generally in like manner, and where rolling clonds are to be aeen, 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, thns giving an artificial appearance. Railroad cars are also poorly executed ; the car farthest Ji'om the eye is usually the most imperfect. The perspective is always imperfect, the figures in the background can sidldom be recognized. 6th.— Bills altered f^om 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 difference 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 HOW TO STJCCEEB IN BUSINESS. 45 too dark, but from the back or flniBh of the white lines yon have a sure test. Again observe particularly the words " FlTe " or " Ten Dollars " as the case may be, denot- ing the denomination of' the note; the parallel outlines and shading (if any) are coarse and imperfect. Alterations are fre- quently made by pasting a greater denomi- nation oyer a smaller, out by holding the bill up to the light, the fraud will be per- ceived. Another method resorted to is to cut out the flanres in the dies as well as the words onedollar, 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 perceivable ; 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 fraud will be de- tected by the stiflhess 0% the outer edges, " occasioned by the gum or method adopted" in afixing 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 out- lines for its shading will readily ^ow the fraud. Bills of broken banks are fremient- ly altered by extracting the name of bank, state 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.

The ink generally lacks the rich luster of the gen- nine ; 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 different appearance. There are bills in circulation bearing either genuine dies or vignettes; but upon close examiijation you will be enabled to detect any spurious bill, whether counterfeit or altered, by the instructions here given, if persevered in for a short time.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. What will my readers ;^Te to know how to get rich? Sow, Iwul 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 means, and retains his wealth for any length of time, he must practice upon the pnnci^es laid down In the following essay.. The re- marks are not original with me, but I strongly commend uiem to the attention of every young man, at least aS' affbrding the true secret of success in attaining wealth. A single pemsal of such an essay at an Impressible moment, has sometimes a very wonderflil effect upon the disposi- tion and character. ., „ . .„ Fortune, they say, is a fickle dame— nill of her ft«aks and caprices; who blindly distributes her favors without the slightest discrimination. So inconstant, so \faver- Ing is she represented, tihat her most feith- fuF votaries can place no reliance on her promises. Disappointment, they tell us, 18 the lot of those who make offermgsat her shrine. Now, all this is a vile slander upon the dear blind Udy. Although wealth often appears the result of mere accident, or a Ibrtunate 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 &ir and upright Inhis deal- ings and he vriH possess the confidence of all vfho know him. Without these qualities every other merit vriU prove unavailing. Aekconceml^ a man, ^'Isheactiv»and capable?" Yes. "IndnBtrionB, temper- ate and regular in his habits f"— Oh yes. "Is he honest! Is he ■ tmstworthy f " 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 wUl take an undue advantage, if he can, "Then I will have nothing to do with him," will be the in- •46 HOW TO 8UCCBED IN BUSINESS. variaWe reply. Why, then, is honesty the best yolioy ? Becanse, wlthont It, yon will get a baa name, and everybody will shnn you. A character for knavery will prove an in- Burmountable obstacle to success in al- most every undertaking. It will be found that the straight 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 ttam the rule of integrity, under the plea that ne- cessity knows no law ; they might as well add that it knows no shame. The course is suicidal, and by destroying all confidence, ever keeps them immured in poverty, although they may possess j 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 getlimg. The man known to be scrupnloufly exact in the ful- fillment of his engagements, gains the confidence of all, and may command all the means he can nse with advantage; whereas, a man careless and regardless of his 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 you will find in most cases that it has been owing to mis- S laced confidence. One has lost by en- orsing, another b^ crediting, another by false representations ; all of which a little more foresight and a little more dis- trust would have prevented. In the af- fairs 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 mey 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, when un^er 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 yon a loss, possess yourself, of every available * information relative to tilm. Learn his history, his habits, inclinations and propensities: Us reputation for honor, industry, ftugality andT punctuality; his prospects, resources, supports, advantages and tisadvantages ; bis intentions and mo- tives of action; who are his fl-iends and enemies, and what are his good or bad qual- ities. Youmajr learn a man'sgood qualities and advantages from his Mends^ts bad qualities and disadvantages bom. his ene- mies. Make due allowance for exaggeration in both. Finally, examine carefuuy before engaging; in anything, and act with energy afterwards. Have the hundred eyes of Argus beforehand, and the hundred hands of Briarins afterwards. • Order and system in the management of business mnst not be neglected. Nothing contributes more to dispatfch. Have a place for everything and everything in its place ; a time for everything, and everyr • thing in its time. Do first what jiresses 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 is hurry and confhsion, little or nothing is accomplished, and business is attended to with neither pleasure nor profit. A polite, afi'able deportment is recom- mended. Agreeable manners contribute powerfully to a njan's success. Take two men, possessing pqual advantages in every other respect, bnt let one be gentlemanly, kind, obliging and conciliating in his man- ners; the other harsh, rude and disobliging; ' and the one will become rich, while the other will starve. ~ \ We are now consider a very important principle in the business of money-getting, namely — ^Industry — persevering, ihdefau- table attention to business. Persevering iligence is the Philosopher's stone, which tnrns everything to gold. Constant, regu- lar, habitual and systematic application to business, must in time, if properly directed, produce great results. It must lead to wealth, with the same certainty that pov- erty follows in the train of idleness and inattention. It has been trdly remarked that he who follows his amusements in- stead of his business, will, in a short time, have no bnsiness 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 ont of idleness and extrava- gance, so most large fortunes have been the result of habitufl 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, take 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 as 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— the disposition to sacrifice the future to the present ; the inability to fore- go a small present pleasure for great fliture advantages. Men fail of fortune in this world, as they foil 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 uappiness. 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 which are never paid. Others, there are, the melee drones of so- clety, 'Who pass their days in idleness, and snhslst Taj pirating on the hives of the In- dastrions. Many who ran a short-Uved career of splendid heggary, could they be hnt persuaded to adopt a system of rigid economy for a few years, mieiht pass the remainder of their days In affluence. But no I They must keep up appearances, they must live like other folks. Their debts accumulate; their credit fails ; they are harassed by duns, and be- sieged by constables and sheriff. In this eztremity.'as a last resort, they submit to a shameml dependence, or engage in crim- inal practices which entail hopeless wretch- edness and Infamy on themselves and families. Stick to the business in which you are regularly einployed. 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, it you are a merchant, a professional man, or a me- chanic, never bay lots or stocks, unless you have surplus money which yon wish to invest. Your own business you under- stand as well as other men ; but other peo- Ele's busiujessyou do not understand. et your basiness be some one which is useful to the community. All such occu- pations possess the elements of profit In themselves. How to Secure the Public Lands, OB THEENTKT OF THE SAME UNDBE 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 : Depaktment op the Iktbbioe; I Gbn'l Land Obtiob, July 19, 1865. ) Numerous questions having arisen as to the mode of procedure to purchase public lands, or acquue title to the same by bounty land locations, by pre-emptions or by home- stead, this circular is communicated 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 land desired may be situated. A list of all the land offices In the United States is ftimished by the Department, with the seats of the different offices, where it Is the duty of the Begister and Eeceiver to be in attendance, and give Sroper facilities and information to persons es&ous of obtaining lands. The minimum price of ordinary public lands Is fl,25 per acre. The even or re- served sections Billing within _ railroad grants are increased to double the minimum price, being $2,50 per acre. Lands once offered at public sale, and not afterwards kept out of market by reserva- tion, or otherwise, so as to prevent ftee competition, may be entered or located. •2. By the applicant filing with the Eegis- 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 so, the applicant must pay that price per acre, or may locate the same with land warrant; and thereafter the Eeceiver 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 Begister 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, bat may be secured by a party legally qualifled, upon his compliance with the requirements of the pre-emption laws of 4th September, 1841, and 3d March, 1843; and after such party shall have made ac- tuEll settlement for such a length of time as will show he designs it for Ms 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 $1,25, either In cash or with bounty land warrant, unless the premises should be $3,50 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 qualifled desire to obtain title under the Homestead Act of 20th May, 1862, they can do so on com- 48 LAW MA:xiMa. plying with the Department Circular, dated aOlli October, 1868. 6. The law coi^tnes Homestead entries to surveyed lairds; and although, in cer- tain States and Territories notedin the sub- joined list, pre-emptors may go on land be- fore surrey, yet they can onfy establish their claim after return of sorre^y, but must file their pre-eniption declaration within three months after receipt of ofScial plat, at the local land-ofSce where the settlement was made before survey. Where, however, it was made-after survey, the claimant mast 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 ^ame at any time before the date of the public sale of lands within the range in which his settlement may fall. 6. All unoffered suryi^ed lands not ac- quired under pre-emption, homestead^ ot otherwise, under express legal sanction, must be offered at public sale under the President's Proclamation, and struck off to the highest bidder, as required by act of April §4, 1880. J. M. BDMtnSTDS, Commissioner Oeneral Land Office. LAW MAXIMS. 1. A promise of a debtor to give " satls- ftctory security" for the payment of a por- tion of his debt, is a sumcient considera- tion for a release of the residue by his creditor. 8. Administrators are liable to account for interest on funds in their hands, al- though no profit shall have been made upon them, unless the exigencies of the estate rendered it prudent that they should hold the funds ^us uninvested. 3. Any person who voluntarily becomes an agent for another, and in that capacity obtains information to which as a stranger he could have had no access, is boimd in subsequent dealing with his principal, as purchaser of the property that formed the subject of Ms agency, to eonuminicate such information. 4.

Dlscoi/nt and Premlnm. When a person buys an article for tl.OOr- 20 per cent ofE, (or discount,) and sellB It again for $1,00, he makes a profit of 36 per cent, on his investment. Thug : He pays 80 cents and sells for $1,00— a giun of SO cents, or 35 per cent of 80 cents. And for any transacnon where the sale or purchase of gold, silver, or currency is concerned, the following rules will apply in all cases. Rule 1st.— To find premnim when dis- count is given: MMtlply 100 by rate of discount and dividoby lOu, less rate of dis- count. EuiB 2d.— To find discount when pre- mium is given. Multiply the rate of interest by 100, 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, ho* much gold should he receive 1 In this case the pre- mium is given, consequently we must find the discount on A's currency and subtract it from 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.

Pacts on Advertising. The advertisements in an ordinary num- 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 $60,000. The ex- pense for advertising the eight editions of the "Bncyclopoedla Britannia" is said to have been $16,000. In large cities nothing is more common than to see large business establishments, which seem to nave an immense advantage over all competitors, by the wealth, expe- rience, and prestige tney have acquired, drop graduauy out of pnblic view, and be succeeded by flmu pf 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 of dignity.— The former are ravenous to pass out of ob- scurity into publicity; the latter believe that ttieir publicity is so obvious that it cannot be obscured. The first understand that they must thrust themselves upon public attention, 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 Girqrd, than whom no shrewder business man ever lived, need to say : I have always considered advertisins 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 ^oney 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.

Many have heard of the brilliant Btncco whitewash on the east end of the Presi- dent's (lonse at Washington. The fbUow- ing is a recipe for It ; it is gleaned flrom the National Intelligencer, with some addi- tional improTements learned by experi- ments : Take half a bnshel of nice nn- 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 ttun paste, and stiired 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 from the dirt. It should be put on right hot; for this purpose it can be kept m a kettle on a portable fhmace. It is said that about a pint of this mixture will cover a square yard upon the ontside of a house if proper- ly applied. Brushes more or less small mav be used according to the neatness of the job required. It answers as well as oU paint for wood, brick or stone, and is cheaper. It retains its brilliancy for many years. There is nothing of the kind that will compare with it, either for inside or outside walls. Coloring matter may be put in and mad^ of any shade you like. Spanish brown stirred in will make red pinl^ more or less deep according to the quantity. A delicate tinge of this is very pretty, for inside walls. Finelypulverized common clay, well mixed with Spanish brown, makes a reddish stone color. Yellow-ochre stirred in makes yel- low wash, but chrome goes further, and makes a color generally esteemed prettier. In all these cases the darkness of the shades ofcoorse is determined by the quantity of coloring used. It is difficult to make rules, because tastes are different. It would be best to \iv 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 effect on tne 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 yon 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. • TSLoxv to get a Horse but of a Fire. The great difficulty of getting horses from a stable where surrounding buildings are in a state of conflagation, is well known.— The plan of covering their eyes with a blan- ket will not always succeed. A gentleman whose horses have been in great peril from such i^use, 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- IsEment, they were led from the stable without difficulty. Tbe Chemical 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 win readily do by slight agitation, add the following mixture: Take water, nine drachms : nitrate . of potash (saltpetre) thirl7-eight grains; and muriate of am- monia (sal ammoniac) thirty-eight grains. Dissolve these salts in the water pnor to mixing with the camphorated sjint ; 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 observing the different appearances which the materials assume, as the weather changes, it becomes an ex- cellent prognostioator of a coming storm or ofa sunny sky. Iieech Barometer. Take an eight onnce phial, and put in it three gills ofwater,andplacelnita healthy leech, changing the water in summer once a week, and in winter once in a fortnight, and it will most accurate^' prognosticate the weather. If the weanfer is to he 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 lod^gs and remain there till the weather is settled; if we are to have wind, it will move through its habi- tation with amazing swiltness, and seldom goes to rest till it begins to blow hard ; if a remarkable storm or thunder and rain is to succeed, it will lodge for some days before almost GOntinufi^y out of the water, and discover great uneasiness in violent throes and convulsive-like motions : in frost as in dear 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 muBlin. ^ To Mkascbb QBAm rs A Bra.— Find the number of cubic feet, from which deduct onA-Mth.

A correspondent, contrary to old maxims, undertakes to judge the character of ahorse by outward appearances, and offers the fol- lowing suggestions, the result of his close observation and long expen^ce; If the color be light sorrell, or chestnut, his feet, legs and fiice white, these are marks of kindness. If he is broad and fhll 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 be treat- ed in return. Nor will a horse of this de- scription stand a whip, if well fed. If you want a safe horse, avoid one that is dish-faced. He ma^ be so far gentle as not to scare ; but he will have too much go- ahead in him to be safe with everybody. Ifyouwantafool, but a horse of great bottom, get a deep bay, with not a white hair about him. U his lace is a little dish- ed, so much the worse. 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 one 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. measarement of Hay In tbe 'Slow or Stack.— It is often desirable, where conveniences for weighing are not at hand, to purchase 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 bottom. The general rule adopted by those who have tested it, is that a cube, each Bld« of which shall measure eight feet, of mlid Timothy hay , as taken from mow or bottom of Btack will weigh a ton. The rule may be varied for upper part of mow or stack according to pressure. 02 TWENTY TEAR CALENDAR. 1 , ' Almanac or Calendar for 20 Years.

THUS COITJYTY was formed froiii Albany and Ot- sego, April 6, 1795. A small part of Greene County was annex- ed in 1836. The session laws of 1801 define the boundaries of the County and of the six towns included in it at that time as follows: y > " The County of Schoharie shall contain all that part of the State bounded easterly by the County of Albany, northerly by Eart of the south bounds of the County of Montgomery, as ereafter described, westerly by a line beginning at the south- west corner of a tract of land formerly granted to John Lyne and running thence the following courses and distances as marked by order of the Surveyor General; south twenty-one degrees and forty-eight minutes west, two hundred and nine- teen chains, to the place where Joshua Tucker formerly resided ; thence south seven degrees and forty-eight minutes west, one hundred and ninety-three chains to the eastermost line of a tract of land known by the name of Belvidere Patent ; thence south nine degrees east, six hundred and ninety-five chains to a certain hill known by the name of Grosvenor's Hill ;. thence with a direct line from the northwest corner of Stroughburgh Patent ; thence with a direct line to the most northerly corner of Harpersfield on the Charlotte or Adegataugie Branch of the Susquehanna River; thence south-easterly along the north bounds of Harpersfield to Lake Utsarantho, and southerly by a line formerly run from the head of Kaaters Creek where the same issues out of the southerly side or end of a certain lake or pond lying in the blue mountains to the said Lake Utsayantho, and by part of the north bounds of the County of Greene." It is an interior county, lying south-east of the center of the State, is centrally distant 35 miles from Albany and contains Schoharie is a name of Indian origin, and signifleB " driftwood." To-wos-a<^u>-fu>r was the Indian orthographr, and it has been spelled varioaaly according to the person writing it; as Shoary, SKohary, iShuelton/, Sehohon &c. At a place a sboit distance above Hid- dlebnrgh, the Linekill and Little Schoharie enter the Hchoharle Creek fW>ni opposite sides, and here drift-wood is said to have accamnlated to such ab extent as to form a niitnral bridge, whidi contained a large amount of timber when the place was first settled by white men ; hence the name. 64 SOBOBABIE COUNTY. 675 square miles. The surface is an upland, broken by moun- tains in the south, and by hills in the center and north. A northerly spur of the Catskill Mountains lies along the south border, the highest summits of ■«rhich are 3,000 feet above tide. From these, irregular spurs extend northward, occupying the greater part of the County. Many of the summits along the east and west borders are from. 800 to 1000 feet above the val- leys, and about 8,000 feet above tide. The hills in the north are generally rounded and arable to the summits, but in the center and south, the declivities are steep and in many cases precipitous. The high ridge along the east border and extend- ing into Albany County is known as the Helderbergh Moun- tains. The hills derive their general outline from the underly- ing rocks. The extreme north part of the County is terraced like the limestone region further west. Towards the south the hills are steeper, and in the shaly region they are broken by deep and irregular ravines. In many places the hills bordering upon the streams are 1000 feet high, and in some places very steep. Schoharie Creek flows north-east through the County, a little east of the center. It receives as tributaries from the east, Fox, Little Schoharie or Stony, and Keysers Creeks, and PlattenkiH and Manorkill. From the west it receives Cripple Bush, Cobles- kill, Line, Panther, "West and Minekill Creeks. West and Punch- kill flow into the Oobleskill. Charlotte River, a branch of the Susquehanna, takes its rise in the west part, and Catskill Creek in the south-east part, having its source in a swamp called the Vlaie. Utsyantha and Summit lakes are two imall bodies of water ; the former being 1,900 feet and the latter 2,150 feet above tide. ^ The rocks in the County, commencing upon the north bor- der and appearing successively towards the south, are those be- longing to the Hudson Eiver group, Clinton group, Onondaga salt group, Helderbergh series, Hamilton group, Portage and Chemung group, and the Catskill group. Among the limestones are numerous caves, in which are found minerals particularly interesting to mineralogists. Among the most interesting are stalactites of pure white, translucent and solid, sulphate of barytes, calcite, satin spar, tufa, bog ore, black oxide of mangan- ese, sulphate and carbonate of strontia, fluor spar, carbonate of iron and arragonite. Fossils in great variety, and peculiar to the respective formations, are found in the County. Drift is found Scattered over the County to a limited extent, and water- linie IS also found. The soils are principally derived from the disintegration of the underlying rocks. In the north the soil IS a productive clay loam, and m the center and south it is a aCBOHARIB COUNTY. 65 clay and sandy loam, the latter predominaffcing on the south hills. The alluvial flats along Schoharie Creek are very fertile. Agriculture forms the chief occupation of the inhabitants. Spring grains are largely produced, hops are cultivated in the west part, and broomcorn on the Schoharie flats. Dairying is carried on extensively, especially in the south part. Manufac- turing is quite limited and confined to such as is customary in an agricultural region. The County Seat la located in the village of Schoharie. The Court House, which for many years had served the people of the County, was burned January 17, 1870. A new one has since been erecfeed on the old site, much better adapted to the wants of the County. It is built of dressed limestone, is 54 by 57 feet in size, and three stories high. The first floor contains the rooms appropriated to the County Clerk and the Surrogate, and a large kitchen where cooking is done for the prisoners confined in the Jail. The second floor is occupied by the Sherifi" and his family. The Supervisors also have a room on the same floor. The third floor is appropriated to the Court and Jury rooms, a gallery over the latter affording additional room. The space appropriated to the Court and Bar is elevated a little above the general level of the room, and is inclosed by a black walnut railing. The building cost only about $20,000, but could not be replaced for a much larger sum. The building is considered fire proof, the cornices, domes and pinnacles being galvanized iron. It is said to have cost less than any other'building* of the same size and character in the State. It was built at the ex- pense of the Town and County of Schoharie jointly. The Jail is a substantial stone building in the rear of the Court House. The first courts were held in a wagon-house of Johannis Ingold, and prisoners were at first sent to the Albany Jail. The fii;st meeting of the Judges, Justices and Supervisors, .was held December 16,. 1795, and it was decided to locate the County buildings two miles west of the present site, but the location was changed before the buildings were erected. The first build- ings were erected soon after and were burned in 1847. The first Court House was erected under the direction of Joost Borst, Jr., Jacob Lawyer, Peter Sayder, John H. Shafer and William Phrall, Commissioners. Abraham A. Post of Ontario, Alex- ander H. Buel of Herkimer, and William Duerof Oswego, were appointed to locate the present site. The, first Countj oflQcers were William Beekman, First Judge ; who was re-appomted and held the office until 1838; Joachim G. Staats, Clerk; Saadb Lawyer .Tr., Sheriff; and Stephen A. Becker, Surrogate. 66 SCHOBABIB COUNTY. The Poor House is located upon a farm of 62 acres in the town of Middleburgh. The building is two stories with a basement. The main part is 35 by 26 feet, and the wing 90 by 26 feet. The average number of paupers during the past year has been about eighty. The Albany and Susquehanna Railroad is located along the valley of the Cobleskill, extending through the towns of Esper- ance, Schoharie, Cobleskill and Eichmondville. The elevation of this road where it enters the County on the east, is 700 feet above tide; at Schoharie Creek it is.550feet: at Cobleskill, 900 feet; at Eichmondville, 1,175 feet, and at thie west line of the County, 1,470 feet. The Schoharie Valley and the MMdleburgh tfc Schoharie Railroads connect with the A. & S. E. E. atOentral Bridge, and extend to Middleburgh, via Schoharie Court House. The A. & S. E. E. is now operated by the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company, under a lease. 2%e Sharon dk Cherry Valley Railroad extendi^ from Cobleskill, along the valley of Westkill, through the towns of SeWard and Sharon, to Cherry Valley in Otsego County. The principal turnpikes in the County in early times were the Great Western, built in 1802 and extendii^ to Cherry Val- ley, and the Charlotte River Turnpike, built in 1809. The lattes formed the great thoi^oughfare to the settlements in Delaware County and adjacent regions. Like many other counties, Scho- harie partook of the plank road mania, but abandoned it after a sacrifice of nearly all the capital invested. Previous to the settlement of the County by the whites, a number of Indians belonging to the Mohawks, Mohicans, Dela- wares, Tuscaroras and Oneidas, uniting togetlier, formed the Schoharie tribe and took up their abode along the valley of Sch6harie Creek. The Mohicans settled near the mouth of the Little Schoharie, in the present town of Middleburgh, while the largest settlement of the others was in the present town of Fulton. Their principal Chief wag ICariffhoAdonlee, who had been a prisoner of the French in Canada, and had married a Mohawk woman. This tribe was subordinate to the Six Nations. "Besides the village of the Mohegans ialready located, the bChohane tribe had several others ; one of which was on the farni formerly owned l^ Alexander Vrooman, on the west side ot the nver. Nearly opposite that, on the other side of the river, they had another; and a distance of several miles farther up the valley, on the farm of the late Peter P. Snyder, a third. At each of the two former tliey had a small castle; and at the latter, where they dwelt for many, years after the two nortljiern SOHOBAMIB COUNTY. 67 Tillages were abandoned, they had a burying ground. Those villages were all within four miles of the present site of the Court House. Within the recollection of some now living, twenty-one wigwams were yet standing upon the Snyder farm; and a few old apple trees still to be seen there, are supposed to have been planted by the natives. Near this orchard maay burials are said to have been made at their place of sepulture ; nor, indeed were the manes of nature's children without com- panions, to share the potage taken along at their death ; as a portion of the consecrated ground was set apart for the defunct slaves of the early Germans. ' " The fifth and most important village of the tribe, where dwelt Karighondontee and his principal chiefs, was in Vroo- man's land ; where they had a strong castle and a place of buriaL This castle was built by John Becker, who received from Sir William Johnson, as agent for the British government, eighty pounds for its erection. It was built at the commence- ment of the French war, and constructed of hewn timber. The Indians held some four hundred acres of land around it, which they leased for several years. Contiguous to this castle, along both sides of the river, could have been counted at one time seventy huts; and relics of savage ingenuity are now often plowed up near its site. An angle of la;nd,, occasioned by a bend in the river, on which this castle stood, was called the Wilder. Hook, by the Dutch who settled near it, and signified the Indian's Corner." — -Simm'a Hist. Schoharie-, The number of warriors of the Schoharie tribe has been va- riously estimated at from 300 to 600. Their coat of arms was a turtle and snake; and they^ placed figures of these animals on deeds and writings as an evidence of faith. Whenever land was deeded, th^ trees marking the boundaries bore the charac- teristic emblem of the tribe. During the wars between the British and Erenchj the Indians adhered to the British. A band of about 20O remained in the valley, at peace with the settlers until the Eevolution, when yielding to the temptinz offers of the British, they took up arms against their old neigh- bors. Previous to this a pestilence had swept off the greater part of the tribe, though the Whites were not affected by ii The first white settlement in this County was made in 1711, by German Palatinates. They came over the previous year under the patronage of Queen Anne of England, and settled at the East and West Gamps on the Hudson. On arriving in the val- ley of the Schoharie Creek they settled in several villages, or dorfs, as they were called) under the direction of seven men who had previously been their captains or commissaries. gg SOHOHABIB COUNTY. " Weiser's dorf, (so called after Conrad Weiser the founder,) was the southern village and occupied part of the present site of the village of Middleburgh. This 'dorf contained some forty dwellings. They were small rude huts, built of logs and earth, and covered with bark, grass &c. They were built on both sides of the street, which ran nearly east and west, and may have been called Weiser street Hai-tman's dorf was the next settlement down the river, and was about two miles noWh of Weiser's dorf. This was the only one of the settlements called after the Chris- tian name of its founder or patroon, his name having been Hartman Winteker. This flekken (if the larg'est village in seven merited the name,) is said to have contained sixty-five dwellings, similar in construction to those spoken of in the dorf above. The Germans, (as is the custom of their descend- ants,) built their ovens detached from their dwellings; and thirteen are said to have answered all the good houseswives of Hartman's dorf, the purposes of baking.^ * * * The next village north, was in the vicinity of the Court House, and was called Brunnen or Bruna dorf,which signified the town of springs. There are several springs in this vicininy, and a living one which issues from beneath the rooks a little distance south-east from the court house, supplies most of the villagers with excel- lent water. The prindpal or most infinential man among the first settlers at this place was John Lawyer. Some of his de- scendants, as also those of some of the Shsefifers and Ingolds, who were among the first settlers, still reside near the location of their ancestors. The next settlement was in the vicinity of the present residence of Dr, 0. H. Van Dyck, about a mile north of Bruna dorf, and consisted of Johannes George Smidt, (or Smith in English,) with a few followers of the people, for whoni he had acted as commissioner at the Camps. Smith is said to have had the best house in Smith's dorf, which was thatched with straw. ******* pox'a dorf was next to Smith's, north, and took its name from William Fox, its leading man. He settled about a mile from Smith, in the vicinity of Fox's creek, so called after him. The Shyders, Beckers, ZiB|- . mars, Balls and Weidmans, now residing along and near that stream, are regular descendants of the first settlers. Elias Gar- lock, with a few faithful followers, who. doubtless adhered to him on account of his great wisdom, which remains to be shown, located about two miles farther down the river, near the present residence of Jacob Vrooman. This was called Garlocks dorf. The Dietzes^ Manns and Sternbergs were timong the first settlers at Garlocks dorf, whose descendants still occupy the f rounds. The last and most northerly settlement was called Lueiskern's dorf, after John Peter Kneiskern, its leading man. aCHOHABIE OOUNTY. QQ It was two or three miles from the last mentioned settlement, and was made along the east side of the river, opposite the mouth of Oobel's kill. The Kneiskerns, Stubrachs, Enderses, Sidneys, Berghs, and Houoks, residing in that vicinity, are descendants of the original settlers." — Simms Hist. Schoharie. The whole number who settled in the County during the year 1711, is supposed to be from 600 to 700. The first settlers came from Albany on foot, with no vehicle of any kind, and not even a horse, but carried all their goods in packs on Ijheir backs. Within one week after their arrival, four children were born, whose names were Catharine Mattice, Elizabeth Lawyer, WilhelmuB Bouck and Johannes Earhart. They left Albany on Thursday, sleeping in the open air at night, with fires to keep off the wolves. On Saturday they reached, the present site of Knoxville, and through some cause that tradition has failed to transmit, they had a free fight, from which circumstance the place was called by the settlers Fegt Berg or Fighting Hill. As no serious injury resulted from this contest, they resumed their march, and on Sunday arrived at a toall creek which forms part of the boundary between Schoharie and Wright. Here they performed their weekly ablution and " while waishing, the lice were swimming down the brook, which is called Lousekill to this day." As there were no grist mills, the settlers resorted to the Stump Mortar or went to Schenectady, carrying their grists upon their backs, and in the same manner was the first Skipple of wheat brought to the County in the berry, by Lambert Sternberg, -who planted it on a piece of ground on the opposite side of the river from Garloclcs dorf, where thete had been an Indian castle. It was hoed in the spring like a patch of corn, and at harvest the one Skipple produced eighty-three. The want of horses and cattle was a serious impediment to the progress of the early settlements. The first horse was purchased in Schenectady by nine individuals of Weiser's dorf. Soon after the German" settlement was commenced, the Dutch began a set- tlement at Vrooman's Land, on the west side of the river, two or three miles above Weisers dorf. Adam Vrooman of Schenec- tady, obtained a patent of 1,100 acres, more or less, August 36, 1714. The tract was afterwards found to contain 1,400 acres. It embraced the flats along the creek in the present town of Ful- ton, except Wilder Hook, where there was an Indian castle and settlement. Mr Vrooman had previously obtained an Indian title to the laud, but in 1726 he obtained a new title of the In- dians, giving all the land previously conveyed, with the sen- tence, " let there be as much as. there will, more or less, for we are no surveyors." It was executed with the ensign of the Mo- hawk nation, the turtle, wolf and bear. 70 SCHOBABIE COUNTT. The Germans and Dutch did not live-on the most friendly termis, the foriner opposing very strongly the settlement of the Dutch in Vrooman's land, as shown by the following letter to Governor Hunter : . "May it Please your Excellency As in duty bound by my Last to you I give your Excy an aoct How the ^^alintines threatened In a Bebelious manner If I should build or manure the Land at Schore that your Excllcy was Pleased to Grant me a Pattent for and In Please your Excellency I have manured a great part of the Laud and sowed considerable grain thereon they still drove their horses on it by night.

The Palatinates located upon the land without any title ex- cept the word of Queen Anne that they should have their land free. They had not long been in possesion before Nicholas Bayard, an agent of the British G-overnment, appeated and of- fered to give to every householder a deed in the name of his Sovereign, of his land, if he would make known the boundaries. The settlers were very ignorant, and fearing that the design was to bring them under tyrannic landholders, resolved to kill Bay- krd and thus establish more firmly the itidependenoe which they had for several years enjoyed. Bayard had put up at the house of John George Smith, of Smith's dorf, and early next morning the settlers assembled,. armed with guns and pitcqforks, surrounded 'the house and demanded Bayard, and on Smith's refusing to surrender him, the house was besieged; sixty balls were fired by the assailants through the roof, and the siege kept up until the failing ahimunition and the darkness admonished them to desist. Bayard left in the night and went to Schenec- tady, whence he sent word that to all who shoul4 appear there with a single ear of corn, acknowledge him as the royal agent and name the bounds of their land, a free deed should be given. As no one called on him he went to Albany and disposed of the land to Myndert Schuyler, Peter Van Brugh,Eobert Livingston Jr., John Schuyler and William Wileman, to whom a patent was given and executed Nov. 3, 1714, in the first year of the reign of George L, by Robert Hunter, Governor of the Province. This patent began on the northern line of the Vrooman Patent, on the west side of the river, and the little Sohohariekill on the east, extending north nearly to the south boundary of Mont- gomery County, taking in a strip on both sides of the river. The intention was to take in all of the flats, but this was npt effected, though some curves were made. Lewis Morris and An- drus GoeyikanB, who were employed to survey and divide the land, finding that a large piece of the fiat at the mouth of the ' Cobleskill was not taken in, made haste to secure it, as also . the flats along Pox's Creek. Finding it difficult to divide their land, these patents sometimes running into each oth6r> and sometimes leaving a gore, the five first purchasers »greed to make joint stock ,with their surveyors, and were afterwards known as the Seven Partners. Patents and deeds granted sub- sequently, for lands lying a^djacent to those of the Seven Part- ners, were sometimes bounded in such a manner as to infringe 72 SCBOHABIE COUNTY. on their lands, and gave rise t9 much' litigation. Suits for parti- ' tion T^re brought in the Courts in 1819—25—26—28 and '29, when they were finally adjusted. After the Seven Partners received- their title to the Schoharie flats, they called on the German settlers to purchase, take leases or quit them altogether, but they stubbornly refused, still rely- ing on the word of Queen Anne. Mild measures having failed, the partners appealed to the strong arm of the law. A sheriff from Albany, named Adams, was sent to apprehend some of the boldest of the trespassers and frighten others into a compro- mise. Adams stopped at Weiser's dorf, and attempted to arrest a man, when a mob immediately collected, Adams was knocked . down, dragged through the mud and finally rode upon a rail throiagh most of the settlements, suffering as he went such iii- dignities as the excited rabble saw fit to heap u|Jt)n him. For some time after this outrage the settlers of Schoharie were very cautious about visiting Albany ; at first sending their wives for salt and such other necessaries as could not be obtained else- where, the men not daring to appear there except on Sunday, and were careful to leave the same night. At, length suspicion having been allayed, several of the Schoharie citizens ventured to Albany for salt, when they were arrested and committed to jail. The most notorious of the' party, among whom were Con- rad Weiser, Jr., were placed in the dungeon. Great was the consternation when the news of this outrage reached Schoharie, and a meeting of the citizens was called, when it was decided to draw up a petition setting forth their grievances and delegate ;three of their number to lay it before the King. This peti- tion was entrusted to Conrad Weiser, Casselman and one other. The parties imprisoned at Albany were compelled to sign a statement of their .treatment of Bayard and Adams before they were released, and they agreed also to take leases and pay the rent or purchase their lands. Weiser and his comrades proceeded to England and shortly after presented their petition, but were horror stricken to find a statement of their treatment of Bayard and Adams already in the hands of the King. Their guilt was manifest and they were immediately imprisoned in the Tower. After a time they were released and permitted to return home. Many o£the settlers concluded to purchase their lands, but Weiser and sixty families removed to Berks County, Pa. Some removed to German Flats and others to Stone Arabia. Petef Vrooman, son of the patentee of "Vrooman's Land, commenced improvements soon after the purchase, and settled there. During the first summer he employed several hands, planted corn, fenced some of his land and in the fall returned to Schenectady to spend the winter, leaving a hired man, aOBOBAEIE GOVNTT. 73 named Truax, and two colored persons named Morter and his wife Mary, to take care bf his property. Not long after Vroo- man's departure, Truax was murdered in his room. Morter and Mary were tried and convicted of the crime, though Mary persisted in declaring her innocence. They were burned alive ■ at Albany, after which nothing more was known for several years. A man named Moore, who lived at Weise.rs dorf at the time of the murder, afterwauds went to Pennsylvania, and on his dying bed confessed that he and Morter were the mur- . derers,* Mary being entirely ignorant of the whole affair. The second season after bhe murder, Peter Vrooman returned and established a permanent residpnce. Several other Dutch families settled there about the same time. ■ • Simeon Laraway erected the first grist mill in the County. Bolting cloths were first introduced about 1760 by Henry Weaver. The settlers procured their shoes at Albany or East Camp until near the time of the Eevolution, and one pair was the yearly allowance for each member of the family. Travel- ing cobblers went from house to house repairing such as needed. The first cider made in the County was by Lawrence School- craft. It was made by pounding the apples in a mortar, similar to those used for corn, the pumice was then placed in a large Indian basket, previously suspended to a tree, and weights placed in the basket, the' juice being caught by a spout made of two planks fastened together at the edges. The first cider press ever used in the County was made by a man named Brown, who removed from West Camp. He was a wheelwright and the first one of the trade to prosecute the business in the County. John Mattice Young taught the first German school ever taught in America, at the Camps, about 1740. Schools were taught in Schoharie shortly after ; a man named Spease taught the first, and Keller the second. English instruction was introduced about 1760, and in some instaace^ the English, German and Dutch languages were all taught by the same teacher. The implements of husbandry were of the riidest kind, tlieir rakes being made with teeth on both sides, and their hay forks were crotched sticks. Their wagons were with- out tires until 1760. Ia 1763 slaves were introduced into the County from New England, females being worth about $150 each, and males a lit- tle more. A duty was imposed upon slaves imported from 'another Colony. Under the Colonial Government, persons were not obliged to fence their lands along the " Kin^ Highway," as public roads were called, but where the line fenbe between two neighbors crossed them, gates were erected. As this was a . great annoyance to travders, the law was afterwards changed. 74 SCBOBABIE aOUNTT. requiring a permit, signed by several of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace, before such obstructions could -be placed across the road. These gates were continued to some extent until after the Revolutionary War. Among the peculiarities of the early set- tlers vre select the following description from Simm's History : " Few dishes were formerly seen upon the tables of the Scho- harie people. It was no uncommon sight to see a family of eight or ten persons seated at an old fashioned round tabl^^^ ■which was turned up in every dwelling when not in use — each with a, spoon eating from a single dish of supawn. Every mem- ber had a cavity in the pudding filled with milk, from which he or she was allowed freely to scoop. On eating through into each other's divisions, a quickened motion of the spoon ensued, if trouble did not. If bowls were not then found indispensable in a large family, for eating a supper of supawn and milk, neither were plates in eating a hearty dinner. Each member of the family; — seated at the round table, the quality and neatness of which no cloth concealed — was given a large slice of bread upon which they ate their meat and potatoes ; after which the time serving plate was broken up, thrust into a dish to receive a coat of dope (gravy) an(J soon devoured. Bread was then sliced by one of the heads of the family, and dealt out around the table as a whist player would deal his cards. Eice and milk was like supawn, also eaten from one dish, after receiving the liberal scrapings of a cake of maple sugar. Happy days were those when the good hotise-wife had few howls or plates to wash, and little envy about the quality or number of those pos- sessed by her neighbors." Pleasure carriages were unknown, and a single horse often carried upon his back a man and woman at the same time. The Germans and Dutch of the County remained distinct for a long time, very few intermarriages occuring between them. The Dutch were generally wealthier than the more hardy and laborious Germans, and preferred to contract marriages with their own class in the older Dutch settlements. They often kept slaves, while the Germans seldom had further assistance than such as their own households afforded. Gradually the barrier became obliterated and hereditary distinctions in socie- ty have disappeared. When the stormy period of the Eevolution commenced, a few of the people espoused the cause of the British, but the ma.- jority were ardent patriots. In many instances members of the same family were arrayed against each other, and the struggle assumed all the horrors of a civil war, aggravated by Indian barbarities. A council of safety was chosen in 1774, of which Johannes Ball was chairman until the close of the war. It 30E0SABIE OOXTSTY. 75 consisted of six members, but we have no means of determin- ing who were the first, though the following persons are believed to have been members at some time during the war : Joseph Borst, Joseph Becker, Peter Becker, Col. Peter Vrooman, Lieut. Odl. Peter Zielie, Peter Swart, William Zim- mer, William Dietz, Samuel 'Yrooman, Nicholas Sternberg, Adam Vrooman, George Warner and Jacob Zimmer. Ool. Vrooman did most of the writing for the board. At an early period of the difficulties, an effort was made by the settlers to induce the Indians to remain neutral. A mee^ting was held for that purpose, at the old council ground in Middleburgh. It is said that Brant and several other Mohawk chiefs were present, and a Mrs. Richtmyer acted as interpreter. The Indians agreed to remain neutral or join the Americans, but they were two fond of war to remain inactive, and yielded to the induce- ments offered by the agents of the British Government. Mr. Ball, the chairman of the oomniitee, had two sons, Peter and Mattice, who engaged with their father in their country's cause, while two other sons espoused the cause of the British. A regiment of militia was organized for the ." Schoharie and Duanesbnrgh districts,'.' as the 15th Regiment of N. Y. Militia, and commissions were issued to its officers, Oct. 20, 1775. It consisted of only three companies. A small company was af- terwards organized at Cobles'kill under Capt. Christian Brown and Lieut. Jacob Borst. At a meeting of the New York State Committee of Safety, at Fishkill, Oct. J, 1776, a resolution was passed appointing persons in each County " to purchase at the cheapest rate in their several counties, all the coarse woolen cloth, Hnsey woolsey, blankets, woolen hqSe, mittens, coarse linen, felt hats, and shoes fitting for soldiers, and that they have the linen made into shirts.' Among the relics of Eevolutionary times is the following paper : " Schoharie, July 7th, 1777, in Committee Chamber first Resolved that all the persons between the ages of sixteen and flfty years, from the dwel- ling house of (Jhristiaa Shaftier and to north-ward in Schoharie, are to bring their arms and accoutrements when they come to the meeting at either of the two churches in Pnuntain Town and Fox's Town, on Suiiday or any other day when kept ; and if any of them shall neglect in bringing their arms and accoutrements to either of the churches, shall forfeit and pay the sum of (Aree iihWing», New York Currency, into the hands of Jo- hannes Ball, for the use of paying the cost for the districl* of Schoharie; or if any person shall not pay the said suip as aforesaid, it shall be lawful for ,Mr. Johannes Ball to give a warrant directed to a sergeant or cbrppral,, *aud levy thb same on the offender's goods and chattels, and also the cost thereof. " And the persons inhabiting from the dwelling of Baltus KrySler to the said Dhristian Bhafifer, are to bring their arms &c. to the cdiurch at Weiser's 76 aCBOKABJE COUNTY. Town, as they are ordered to in Foxes Town ; and if neglected to pay the same to Johannes Becker, and be put in execution by him as ordered by Mr. Ball aforesaid. " And persons southward ftom Baltus Krjrslers are to be armed when they come to any meetings that may be kept in Brakabeen, and if neglect- ed, to pay the fines to Mr. William Zimmer, and to be put by him in exe- cution as before mentioned, and for the use as aforesaid. "N. B. Their resolve in Pountann T6wn Church is to be paid to Mr. Johannes Lawyer, and to be put by him in execution as within mentioned, and for the use as aforesaid; and George Warner is appointed to see that the inhabitants of Cobleskill bring their arms when they come to meeting there, and put this resolve in execution as within mentioned, and for the use aforesaid. " Secondly, Resolved that four watches are to be kept in Schoharie every night from this time constant : the first to be kept at the dwelling house of Capt. George Mann, and under his command, and in his absence the next in command ; the inhabitants from Christian Shaffer's dwelling house and to northward are to be under Capt. Mann's command for the watch to con- sist of eight men. The second is to be kept at the dwelling house of Mr. HeHdrick P. Becker, and under the command of Capt. George Eichtmyer, and in his absence the next officer in command ; the inhabitants from Hendrick Tansen's house and so northward to Christian Shafier's are un- der the command Of this second watch, and to consist of «& men. The tlfird is to be kept at the dwelling house of Mr. Johannes Feak, and under the command of Lieut Martynus Van Slyck, and in his absence the next officer in command ; the inhabitants from Baltus Krysler's dwelling house and so northward to Hendrick Tansen's are under the command of this third watch, and to consist of «& men. And the fourth is to be kept by the inhabitants from Baltus Krysler's and so southward at the dwelling house of Mr. Hendrick Hager under the command of Capt. Jacob Hager, in his absence the next officer in command ; and this watch is to consist of «& m^n. Every person or persons neglecting to serve on such or either of such watches aforementioned, shall for evf ry neglect pay and forfeit the sum of twelve sMUings for the use of the district of Schoharie." In 1777 a company of volunteers under Capt. Hager pro- ceeded to Loonenburg, now Athens, to arrest Col. James Huet- son, who was enlisting Tories. After a search of thirteen days; during a part of which time they made a levy upon his poultry yard, they arrested him and about twenty others, whom thgy delivered to the military department at Albany. Col. Huetson was afterwards hanged. In August of this year a company of Tories under Capt. McDonald were defeated by Col. John Har- per. Capt. George Mann, one of the Tories, secreted himself in the vicinity until December, when he surrendered himself to the military authority and was sent to Albany for trial. Owing to the influence' of his Whig neighbors, his trial was put off until the close of the war, when he was set at liberty , and returned to his family and the possession of his property, which was not confiscated. Some persons in the Schoharie settlements accepted of kingly protection from McDonald, when the prospects of the Colonies were the most gloomy, but aCBOHABlB COUNTY. 77 after his defeat and hasty flight, they managed to return home and became the supporters of the federal compact. The fol- lowing letter was written by Ool. Harper to the Committee of Safety : " Schoharie, August 28, 1777. " Gentlemen— Since we put CaptMcDonald and his army to flight, I pro- ceeded with some volunteers to Harpersfleld where we met many that had been forced by McDonald, and some of them much abused. Many others were in the woods who were volunteers, and as we could not get hands on these that were active in tiie matter, I gave orders to all to make their ap- pearance when called on, at Schoharie, in order to give satisfaction to the authority for what they have done ; and if tiiey do not, that they are to be proclaimed traitors to the United States cf America; which they readily, agreed to, and farther declare that they will use their best endeavors to bring in those that have been the cause of the present disturbance. I would, therefore, beg the honorable Council of Safety, that they would ap- point proper persons to try these people, as there wUl, be many that can witness to the proceedings of our enemy, and are not in ability to go abroad. " From your most obedient, humble servant, John Hakper, Colo. " P. S. The people here are so confused that they do not fcnow how to proceed. I therefore would beg the favor of your honorable body to ap- point such men as are strangers m these parts. " To the honorable, ithe council of safety, at Kingston," In the fall of the same year, the following advertisement was published : " Adwrtis&nent. — This is to give notice to all persons, that the Commit- tee of Schoharie have Besohed that nobody shall sell anything to disaffect- ed persons, and especially to such persons as buy and send it to the Scotch settlements [on the Charlotte and Susquehanna rivers;] and if any person does it, we shall seize it. ^ By oraer of the Committee, JoHAmrss Ball, Ch'n. " Schoharie, Nov. 24th, 1777." A fort was erected near Middleburgh in the fall of 1777, by citizens and soldiers, the former drawing the timber and the latter assisting in putting it in its proper place. It was known during the Eevolution as the Middle Fort. It consisted of an inclosure by pickets of about three quarters of an acre of ground, with block-houses in the north-east and south-west corners, where cannon were mounted. The principal entrance was on the south side, and on each side of the gate were bar- racks for the soldiers. The pickets were about a foot in diame- ter and ten feet high, with loop holes ffom which to fire on in- vaders. Along the east and west sides were huts in which the citizens deposited their most valuable eflects and tookrefuge in times of danger. The Upper Fort was about five miles further up and on the opposite side of the river. It was commenced the same fall as 78 BCBOUSniE COVNTT. the Middle Fort, and completed the next summer. It consist- ed of an inclosure like the preceeding, picketed on one side, and on the others were breastworks, eight or ten feet high, com- posed of earth and timber, and wide enough on the top for a wagon to be drawn. A ditch surrounded the fort thus con- structed. Military barracks and huts for citizens were within the inclosure, as well as block-houses and sentry-boxes. The Lower Fort was erected about tl^e same time and was situated about a mile north of the Court House. The old stone church, still standing in the cemetery, was inclosed with about half an acre of ground, by strong pickets. Block houses were erected in the north-east and south-west corners, mount- ing small cannon. Along the west side of the inclosure were huts of rough boards for the -protection of the families living in the vicinity, and "here they deposited their most valuable effects and fled for protection in timeof danger. The Middle Fort was the headquarters during the war, and usually the residence of the principal commandant of all three. A battle was fought at Cobleskill, on the first of June 1778, between- the Americans under Capt. Patrick, and the Tories and Indians, under Brant. The enemy is said to have number- ed 350, While the Americans were less than fifty, twenty- two of whom were killedy including Gapt. Patrick. All of the houses in the settlement except one, were plundered and burnt after the engagement, ten in all, with about the same number of barns and outbuildings. • In July, Lieut.-Ool. Wm. Butler, with three companies of riflemen from Morgan's Corps, and the 4th Pennsylvania Regi- ment, was, placed m command of the Middle Fort. Among these were some of the most distinguished marksmen of the war, including Lieut. Thomas Boyd, Timpthy Murphy, David Elerson, William Leek, Wm. Lloyd, Sergt. John Wilber, Joseph Evans, Philip Hpever, Elijah Efendricks, John Garsaway and Derrick Haggidorn. Early in October 1777, Col. Butler pro- ceeded with troops under iis command to Unadilla and Oqua- go, Indian towns on the Susquehanna, which he destroyed, with large quantities of prpvisions. . The troops suffered greatly in this expedition, being obliged to carry their provisions on their backs, and frequently to ford creeks and rivers, and at night lie down without covering or the means of keeping their arms dry. The expedition was absent sixteen days. A regiment of New York SDate troops, under Col. Dubois, went into winter quarters at Schoharie in the fall of 1778. Adjutant Dodge, Major Eosencrans, Capt. Stewart and Ensign Johnson were quartered in the kitchen of the chairman of the Committee of Safety. aCHOHAMlS COVNTT. 79 On the 9tlj of August, 1778, a p^rty of ^eventy-three In- dians and five Tories, commanded by Brant, invaded Vroo- mansland, near the Upper Fort, killing five and taking thirty prisoners. They burnt nine dwellings and the barns and bar- racks stored with grain, ai^d took away ninety good horses. In the latter part of September 1780, Sir John Johnson left Niagara with a force of five hundred British and Tories, and proceeded to the Susqmehanna, wh'ere he was joined by Brant with several hundred Indians, for the purpose of invading the valleys of the Schoharie and Mohawk. They proceeded up Charlotte Eiver, thence to Panther Creek, and down that stream near its mouth, where they encamped on the evening of October 16th. It was the intention of Jonnson to resume his march so early in the morning as to pass the Upper Fort unobserved and make an attack on the Middle Fort, surprise and capture it, which would cause the surrender of the other two which were more f(?ebly garrisoned. The troops were not set in motion as early as intended, and while crossing the river near the Upper Fort, they were discovered and the alarm gun fired. The Fort ■yas in command of Capt. Jacob Hager, with about one hun- dred men. He sent a party to the river, who captured an In- dian who lagged behind big fellows. The Middle Fort was un- der the command of Major Woolsey, a Continental officer, who proved himself utterly unworthy of the trust committed to him. The Fort was garrisoned by about 350 troops, among whom were Col. Vrooman, Lieut. Col. Zielie, and Major Thomas Ecker of the same regiment. The firing of the alarm guns was the signal for the enemy to apply the incendiary torch. Most of the inhabitants were at the forts where they usually lodged. A party of volunte'ers were sent out and had a slight skirmish with the advance of the enemy near Middleburgh. The wind was blowing so that these men left their hats at the Fort and tied handkerchiefs over their heads. Johnson had a small mor- tar and a six-pounder brass cannon, with which he commenced the bombardment of the Fort, the small arms at the same time keeping up a continuous fire. The firing continued for some time, when it suddenly ceased and a white flag was seen to leave the ranks of the enemy and advance towards the Fort. Major Woolsey gave orders that the flag should be received, but Tim- othy Murphy and David Elerson, for whose scalps an extra price bad been offered, determined that before the flag should enter the Fort one or the other of them would shoot Wfiolsey. As the flag drew near, Murphy fired upon it, with no intention of killing its beaf er, but to warn him not to approach nearer. The flag was immediately returned. Woolsey was absent when the flag was fired upon, but immediately returned with pistol in 80 SOBOHABJX COUNTY. hand and inquired who dared to disobey his orders. Murphy replied that he fired on the flag. - Major Woolsey then threat- ened him with instant death if he repeated the act. Murphy declared that sooner than see the flag enter the Fort, he would send a bullet through the heart of the Major. Murphy was sustained by the other officers of the Fort, who were desirous of seeing it defended at all hazards-. The Major walked a'n'ay and as the flag appeared, Murphy again flred upon it. A third time an effort was made to get a flag of truce into the Fort, and a third time was the bearer warned by a shot from Mnrph/s rifle, to return. Major Wool- sey gave up the command to Col. Vrooman and sought safety among the women and children. The firing was continued un- der the command of Col. Vrooman, the officers taking guns and fighting with the soldiers. The ^rrison was too weak to allow a successful sortie against the enemy, but several parties were sent out during the day to harass the enemy, and, if possible, save a large barn of John Becker, which stood almostHn the direction of Johnson's position, and was surrounded with numerous stacks of hay and grain. The enemy remained*, about the Forfc until all the property in the vicinity was de- stroyed, and about 3 o'clock in the afterlloon moved down the valley. Less than half a dozen of the garrison were injured during the siege. The loss of the besiegers is not known, though it must have been much greater than that of the beseig- ed. Major Becker was in command of the Lower Fort with about 150 men. Ample time was given to make everything in the Lower Fort ready for defense. Several barrels of water were provided to extinguish the fire, should the church in which were the women and children be set on fire. In the tower, under the command of Ensign Jacob Lawyer, Jr., fifteen or twenty good marksmen were stationed, and a number of women stood at the pickets with pitchforks, spears &c., ready to repel an attack. Several shots from the enemy were lodged in the tower of the church. On the 18th a small force was col- lected to pursue the enemy and doubtless tended to restrict the field of their operations somewhat. It is said that 134 build- ings were burned in Schoharie County during the war, a large part of which were during this expedition. The citizens were living in good frame houses and had large barns well filled with grain. Schoharie had not only supplied her own citizens and soldiers, but had furnished large quantities of grain for the troops at other stations. Such was the destruction, that the most rigid ecomony would scarcely enable them to subsist on what remained, until the next year's harvest. Added to the great loss of gram, dwellings, stock &c., was the great deprecia- SGBOEABIE 00TINX7. 81 tion of the paper money of the country, large amounts of whicli were in the possession of some of the farmers, having been tak- en in exchange for the products of their farms. Fifty or sixty dollars in currency, in 1780, "woiild command no more than one dollar in specie. An officer once paid seventy dollars for a single mug of J{ip. In 1781 block houses were erected at Kneiskern's and Hart- man's dorf, and at Cobleskill. The last was erected by Capt. Dubois, of Oatskill, and called Port Dubois. It inclosed about half ati acre of land, with pickets and a ditch, filled with water from a brook. July 10th an engagement took place about two miles east of Sharon Springs^ between' a party of Tories and Indians under Doxtader and Col. Willett. Though the force of the enemy was greatly superior to that of Willett, they were defeated, and a Targe amount of plunder taken the day before at Currytown, was recovered. Some of the prisoners taken by the enemy on the previous day, were killed, to prevent their falling into the hands of their friends. The loss of the Americans was five killed and eight wounded. The loss of the enemy was supposed to be about fifty. Most of the cattle driven away from Currytown were abandoned by their captors and found their way back to their former pastures. Several persons in Middleburgh were surprised and taken prisoners while in the harvest field. Christian Myndert, who resided in Sharon, removed in the summer of 1781 to Fort Dubois, to escape the savages, leaving several.hogs in the field and a quantity of peas growing on the ground, in the latter part of October, Myndert, accompa|nied' by Lieut., Jacob Borst, of Cobleskill, Wm. Kneiskem and Jacob Kerker, proceeded to his former dwelling to secure his peas, shut up his hogs and secure some other property. While endeavoring to secure the hogs, six Indians, commanded by Walradt, a Tory, from the Mohawk Valley, secreted themselves in Mynderf 8 barn. The day was cold and stormy, and after securing the property, Lieut.. Borst and his companions re- paired to the house to. warm tiiemselves, setting their guns in one corner while they gathered around the fire. While thus engaged, the Indians suddenly burst in upon them and made them prisoners before they had time to seize their guns. The prisoners were bound and started for Canada. They encamped the first night at New Dorlach, but such was the vigilance of the enemy that there was no chance of escape. They suffered greatly on their march, being compelled to run the gauntlet at the Indian settlements, at which they suffered severely. Lieiit. Borst died soon after arriving at Niagara. Kneiskern, who was imprisoned on an island in the St. Lawrence, succeeded one 82 aeHOHASIB COXTSTT. night in making his escape with several other prisoners. They dug ont beneath the pickets which inclosed their prison, and made a raft on which to float down the river. One of the prisoners, fearing the raft would not sustain all of the party, swam several miles to where they effected a landing on the American shore. After suffering incredible hardships in the forest, living on birch bark, roots (fee, they arrived safe 'among their friends, where their wants were supplied until they reach- ed their homes. About the 1st of Novemberj 1781, a party of Tories and In- dians under Brant and Capt. Adam Crysler, a former resident of the vicinity, entered Vroomansland near the Upper Fort. Mr. Isaac Vrooman was murdered and scalped near the house of his son, who escaped to the Fort and gave the alarm- A small party was dispatched in pursuit, and at " Bouck's Island " had a slight skirmish in which Derick Haggidorn was mortally wounded. The eneiny were concealed, and their 'number was unknown; the party returned to the Fort. Col. Vrooman then dispatched Capt. Hager, with fifteen or twenty Schoharie rangers and a company of troops under Capt. Hale^ the command being given to Hager. With two or three days rations they moved up the river, and the next morning, near Lake Utsyantha, they encountered the enemy, numbering about sixty or seventy In- dians and Tories. At the first fire, Hale and his men, with a single exception, retreated, leaving Hager with less than twenty men to resist a force three times that of his own. Capt. Hager and Murphy ran to intercept Hale, and, placing themselves in front, threatened to run him through if he did not halt. They retraced their steps, but the enemy retreated, and though pur- sued for some distance^ they were unable to bring theni , again into action. July 29th, ^82, Adam Crysler, his brother William and another Tory named Peter Erkert, with twenty-two Indians, appeared in the valley of Pox's Creek, murdered several and laid siege to the house of Major Becker," which was defended by the -in mates with such spirit that after several hours siege they ^ departed. As soon as information of the attack was conveyed to the Fort, Capt, Brown sent out a party which arrived soon after Crysler had left. One of the enemy killed was found to be Erkert, a cooper who had made flour barrels for Major Becker bcrfore the war. He was not dead when found, and on being re- cognized by the Major, was iiccused of ingratitude. The Tory appeared penitent and said he did not care which succeeded, King or Congress. Few counties suffered more from hostile ; incursions during the Eevolutiondry war than Schoharie. SCBOHABIE COVSTT. 83 After the war many of the Tories returned to Schoharie, some of whom boasted of their evil deeds. The climate, how- ever, did not agree with them and they soon disappeared. Some of the Schoharie Indians ^Iso returned, but were looked upon with as much distrust as the Tories. In 1845 and 1846 this County partook somewhat of the anti- rent excitement, in common with surrounding counties, though no actual violence occurred within its limits. The State Gazetteer, published in 1860, says: "Within the last ten years, a mania for building large seminaries, far beyond the wants of the jeople, has spread through the County. The speculation has proved a tuinous one, and the entire amount of capital invested in the enterprises has been sunk, (^f nine acad- emies built in this County, three have been burned, three are ' to let ' and three are still open." The first newspaper published in the Gounty was The American Herald, commenced at Schoharie in June 1809, by Derick Van Veghten. In 1813 the name was changed to , The Schoharie Herald, and soon after it was discontinned. The True American was commenced at Schoharie in Decem- ber 1809, by Thomas M. Tillman. It was discontinued in 1813 or 1813. ^ • The Schoharie Budget was commenced iii June 181? by Derick Van Veghten. Iii 1820 it w^^ changed to THE SOHOHAEIE EEPUBLIOAN. It soon after passed into the hands of Peter Keyser. It was afterwards published by Lemuel Cuthbert, A. A. Keyser, Wm. H. Underwood, Wm. Hi Gal- lup, P. D. Lawyer arid Rossiter, su'ccessively, for several years, J. p. Hall then became theipublisher and contibued until May 1860, when be was succeeded by J. G. Campbell, who published it until- August 1861, when it passed into the hands of A. B. P. Pond. In April 1865, Sleight & Hunt became the publish- ers and continued until January 1, 1869, when Mr. Sleight sold his interest to his partner, A. A. Hunt, who has continued the publication to the present time. The Observer was commenced at Schoharie in October 1818. In 1819 it passed into the hinds of Solomon Baker, and in 1820 to Baker & Fish, and in 1822 Baker became the sole pro- prietor anc^ soon after discontii.ued its publication. The Evangelical Luminary w&s commenced at Schoharie, Jan- uary 1, 1824, by George A. Lintrier arid L. Cilthbert. It was published about a year. The Lutheran Magazine was commended in February 1827, by the Western Conference of Lutheran Ministers. It was 84 BCHOBABIE COUNTY. published for several years as a monthly, and printed by L. Cuthbert. The Schoharie Free Press was commenced February 9, 1830, by Duncan McDonald. In 1833 it was removed to Esperance and the name changed to The Haperance Sentinel and S<^hoharie . and Montgomery Re- porter, It was discontinued in 1835 or 1836. The Qem was published a short time in 1837. The Schoharie Patriot was started February 13, 1838, by Peter Mix. It was subsequently published by S. H. ,Mix. In 1863 it passed into the hands of Henry E. Abel and the name changed to the SCHOHAEIE UNION. In 1867 it passed into the hands ' of Charles C. Kromer, the present proprietor. The Star was commenced in April 1838 by S. H. Mix, then a school boy. The Sun was commenced as an opposition paper in May 1838, by D. L. Underwood, another lad of the same a/ge. These papers were about three by four inches, but were enliarged in 1839. They both ceased to shed their light in a short time. The Huge Paw was a campaign paper, published from August 12 to November 11, 1840, by William H.. Gallup. - The Eelderbergh Advocate wasL commenced in 1841 by Wm. H. Gallup. In 1843 its name was changed to The Guardian of the Soil, after which it was published one year. The Americam Christian was commenced at Leesville, January 7, 1847, by J. D. Lawyer. It was d^continued soon after. The Schoharie Cowaty Sentinel was commenced at Cobleskill Jan. 32, 1852, by Hiram C. Page. It was published a short time by Charles Cleveland and by Wadhams and Kniskern, and was soon after purchased by J. B. Hall, who merged it with the Schoharie Republican. The Charlotteville Journal was commenced at Charlotteville in 1854 by Furman & Brown. In 1855 John Brown became the sole proprietor and removed it to Cobleskill and changed the name to The Cobleskill Journal. It was published only a short time. The Oasis was published semi-monthly, by the students of the Academy, a short time in 1855. The Schoharie Jeffer^onian was commenced at Cobleskill in 1859, by Mathew Freeman, and was continued until 1862. aCBOBABlE COUNTY. 85 THE COBLESKILL IND:^X \jas started in October 1865, by W. H. Weeks, the present- proprietor. THE SCHOHARIE COUNTY DEMOCRAT was started November 5, 1870, at Richmondville, by J. L. Multer, pub- lisher, and J. J. & J. L. Multer, editors. THE MIDDLfiBURGH GAZETTE was started Oct. 11, 1871, at Middlebnrgh, by 0. B. Ireland, the present publisher. The Schoharie Oounty Agricultural Society and Stock Growers' Association have a fine Pair Ground of fifteen acres, situated a short distance south-west of the Court House. It contains sev- eral buildings, is well fenced and has a half mile track. The annual Fairs are generally successful and the Society ia in a flourishing conidit^n. We have not as full statistics of the ^art taken by this County in the suppression of the great Rebellion, as is desirable. Im- mediately after the first proclamation of the President, Captain Hiram A. Blodget, of Co. D, Fortieth Regiment,. N. Y. M., procured enlistment papers from the Adjutant General, and en- listed 28 men belonging to his company, but as the number was not sufficient to form a company, six of thfe men went to Al- bany and enlisted, and the remainder enlisted in the Seventy- Sixth Regiment, one company of which was chiefly raised in Schoharie County. One company of the Third N". i. Cavalry was raised in this and Otsego tlounties through the 'efforts of S. H. Mix, who became Lieut. Col. of the Regiment. Many of the citizens enlisted in the various regiments raised in this part of the State, but we have no means of determining the number. 86 OAZETTEEB OF TOWNS. GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 3LENMMIM, named from the Blenhejm Patent, apart of which lies in the north part of the town, was formed ftom Schoharie, March 17, 1797., Jefferson was taken of in 1803, and a part of Grilboa in 18^8. It is an interior town, lying south- west of the center of the County. The surface is a hilly up- land, broken by the deep ravines of the streams. Schohatt'e Creek flows north through the east part, receiving Westkill and several smaller streams from the west. These streams of- ten rise very rapidbr, sometimes doing great damage. They are bordered by steep hills, rising to a hight of 300 to 500 feet. A wide fiat extends along the Scoharie, equal in fertility to any land in the County. The soil is chiefly a clayey loam. Wheat is raised to some extent, and hops and broom corb are quite ex- tensively raised. North Blenheim, (p. v.), known also as Patchin Hollow, is situated on the west bank of Schoharie Creek, at the mouth of the Westkill. It is divided into two parts by a steep hill that approaches so near the creek as to leave little room for more than a road. It contains two churches, viz., Methodist and Eeformed ; two school houses, two hotels, two stores, two wagon shops, two blacksmith shops,^a harness shop, a shoema- ker shop, a tailor shop, a paint shop, a grist mill, two saw mills and about fifty dwellings. There is a fine water power that is not all improved. It is on the line of the Middleburgh and Gilboa, stage. A steam sash and blind factory is near. \ Eminence, (p. v.) on the west border, partly in Summit and Jefferson, contains two churches, Methodist and Eeformed; a hotel, two stores, a wagon shop, a blacksmith shop, a shoe shop, a milliner and dressmaker shop, and about twenty dwellings. Minekill Falls is a post oflice. __^ Blenheim Sill, Cole Hollow and Burnt Hill are local names of neighborhoods. 0AZETTEES OF TOWIfS. 87 On the west side of Schoharie Creek, opposite the residence of Daniel Hager, was formerly an Indian burying ground. Two Indian setflements were formerly in this town. The first settlements were made by Dutch and Palatinates, \previous to 1761, but many of them were driven out during the Kevolution. Among the early settlers were Gen. Freegift Pat- chin, Lawrence Mattice, Henry Eflfner, Henry and Jacob Hager, Lamberj; Sternberg, Wm. Freeck, Isaac Smith, Banks More- house and George Martin. Most of the settlers who came in after the war, were from New England. Hendrick Mattice, who erected the first mill on the Westkill, became a loyalist and went to Canada. Many of the early settlers were soldiers of the Eevolution. Daniel Hager and Philip Bartholomew were captains in the war of 1813. The former is still living, though stjU feeling the eflfects of wounds received at Sacketts Harbor and at Plattsburg. He is a grandson of Jacob Hager, who was a captain during the Revolution, and was with the army that captured Bnrgoyne. In 1777, when McDonald and his party invaded this County, he reached the river above Breakabeen on Sunday, August 10, and marched up and down the road stationing guards. Capt. Jacob H'ager's , father, then about- seventy years of age, was anxious to give notice to the patriots below at the stone house, afterwards surrounded by pickets and known as the Upper Fort, but most of his neighbors had given in their adherence to the Boyal authorities and he started to do the errand himself, a distaqce of nine miles. Leaving'home about sundown, he had proceeded but a short distance when he was met by an emis- sary of royalty, who asked where he was going, his business &c. Pretending to have some business with a blacksmith a short distance below, he was told that the man he wished to see was in a house near by. Having made arrangements for his black- smithing, he was allowed to return home. Having proceeded on his way until out of sight of tlffe Tory sentinel, he turned from the road, went down the bank of the river, which he ford- ed, and .at length reached the stone house, making known to the patriots the near approach of the enemy. He met his son, Capt. Hager, who had just returned from the Northern Army. Capt. H. and Henry Becker were immediately sent to Albany for assistance. In the afternoon of the same day, Col. John Harper arrived to consult with 6ol. Vrooman and others as to the best course to be pursued in the emergency. As the Tories were expected to pass down through the valley, it was necessary to be as ex- peditious as possible in obtaining aid, and Col. Harper volun- teered to go to Albany on horseback, and procee'ded as far as 88 &AZETTEEB OF TOWNS. the taTern of John I. Lawyer, near Schoharie Court House, and put up, as it was not deemed safe to travel in the,night. ^he same night there was quite a gathering of Indians and Tories at the "Brick House," about a mile distant. After Harper had retired, a jiarty from the Brick House called and wished to see Col. H. and haye him accompany them to their place of rendezvous. Lawyer tried in vain to dissuade them from disturbing his guest. Harper, hearing the disturbance, stepped to the door and with pistols in hand threatened to shoot the first man who should step over the threshold. Thinking that discretion was the better part of valor, they retired, and Harper locked his door and was not further dis- turbed. The next morning he started on his journey, armed with sword and pistols, and was followed by two Indians armed with knives and tomahawks. Passing over a knoll or turn in the road which hid him from their view, he dismounted, drew his sword from the scabbard and, holding a pistol in each hand, awaited the approach of the savages. Biding rapidly, they were brought to a sudden halt within pistol shot of Harper, who exclaimed, " Slop you villains, face about and he off, this instant, or these bullets shall whistle through your hearts." They turned about and followed at a respectful distance' after thia.' Col. Harper proceeded to Albany and returned with a small company of cavalry, giving great joy to the patriots along the valley. After a slight skirmish, in which Lieut. David Wirt was killed, the enemy retreated up the valley and departed for Niagara. It is said that more than twenty citizens from Vroo- mans Land and vicinity went with them. On the 2d of April 1780, a scout of fourteen men, command- ed by Lieut. Alexander Harper, was sent from the Schoharie Forts, by Col. Vrooman, to the vicinity of Harpersfield, to keep an eye on the conduct of certain suspected persons, and if pos- sible make a quantity of maple sugar. Here they were sur- prised by a party of Indiats and Tories under Capt. Brant, and hurried off to Canada. The surprise was so complete that the Americans did not fire a gun. The ostensible object of this expedition was to invade the Schoharie settlements, but being assured by Lieut. Hanjerj that three hundred continental troops had recently arrived there. Brant wry reluctantly gave up the expedition, and the settlements were undisturbed until October of the- same year. This statement was received with some doubt, but he persisted in his assertion though it was utterly false. This is regarded as one of those falsehoods which are allowable m times of war. Freegift Patchin was one of the cap- tured party. The snow was very deep and the prisoners found it difficult to keep np with the Indians, who wore snow shoes. &AZETTESS OF TOWNS. 89 Brant was taken ill with fever and ague and compelled to lie by every other day, rendering the journey more endurable to the captors. After journeying about two weeks and arriving in a warmer latitude, a rattlesnake was found, and a soup made, a free jise of which effected a cure of Captain Brant. About fifteen miles from the place of capture, they obtained three bushels of corn, which was afterwards equally divided among the whole party. ^ The division was made by counting the ker- nels. While in the vicinity of Tioga Point, the prisoners came near being sacrificed to gratify a savage disposition for revenge, even upon innocent parties. It appears that on their way down the Chemung, Brant detached ten of his warriors to Minisink, for plunder and prisoners. The object of the expedition was ac- complished and they were returning with their prisoners, when one night the latter fell upon their captors, killing nine and severely wounding the . tenth, who alone escaped to tell the news. The wounded Indian interfered, telling the excited multitude that the prisoners, just arrived, had nothing to do with the affair anf that it would be unjust to wreak their vengeance on innocent men. The party suffered greatly irom hunger. Near the present site of Elmira, they found the car- cass of a horse frozen in the snow, and despoiling the wolves of their meat, the party feasted i^on it. Arriving near Niag- ara, they passed the gauntlet, no one except Patchin being seriously injured. The prisoners, except Harper, were finally lodged in prison at Ohamblee, where they remained in irons for two years, suffering for the necessaries of life. Preegift Patchin became go reduced as to be unable to rise from the floor without assistance. The physician in charge totally neg- lected his duties. At length he was succeeded by a man with a humane heart, who on his first visit ordered the shackles re- moved from the prisoners, and their condition rendered more tolerable. At the close of the war the prisoners were released and arrived in Schoharie about three years after their capture. General Patchin' settled in this town in 1798, built a mill and gave his name to the village. The first inn was kept by H. Bffner, and the first store by Tobias Cuyler, in 1803. The first tannery was built in 1825 by Jones & L9,throp. Jacob Sutherland, afterwards a Judge of the Supreme Court of this State, was formerly a resident of this toi^n. Walter Butler formerly owned a large tract, including the flats in this town, and the hill portion was owned by John Lansing, Jr. It is said that Lansing gave a shilling ah acre for his land, a large portion of which was leased to the occupants until the anti- rent excitement. Mr. Daniel Hager assisted in surveying this 90 GAZETTEEB OF TOWNS. patent about 1809. The first lease given by Judge Lansing, was Stephe^ Mayhem, an Irishman. , After the anti-rent excite- ment broke out, Mayhem purchased his land for two dollars an acre. ■ > . The citizens of this town partook of the excitement which prevailed in other localities, and meetings were held at which the anti-rent advocates appeared in the dress of Indians, and personal violence was threatened. Sheriffs Brown and Bouck were at one time' stopping at a hotel in North Blenheim, and while quietly seated in conversation, the room was suddenly filled with men disguised as Indians. The Sheriffs were over- powered and taken to Baldwin's Hights with the intention of giving them a coat of tar and feathers, but better counsels pre-, vailed and the plan was abandoned. If the anti-renters were lawless, the legal authorities were sometimes scarcely less so, the posse of the Sheriff sometimes taking unwarrantable liberties in searching premises and in the pretended exercise of their duty. At the close of tlje Revolution, some of the Tories from this town returned, to the great disgust of patriotic citizens. Among these was one named Beacraft, who .boasted of his deeds of barbarity until they could no longer be endured. He jvas taken by about a dozen whigs, stripped, bound and punished with fifty lashes with*hickory withes, the executioner telling him at every ten strokes, for what crime they were in- flicted. He was then released and disappeared forever from this town. The Methodist Church of North Blenheim was organized about 1801 by Eevs. Heman and Nathan Bangs, with about 20 members. About the year 1828 a house of worship was erected ; it will seat 500 and is valued at $2,500. The parsonage is valued at $1,000. Kev. Wm. W. Taylor is the present pastor. The Methodist Church of Blenheim Hill, erected a house of worship in 1854, at an expense of $1,500, and capable of seat- ing 300. The present membership is 60 and the pastor is Rev. Wm. W. Taylor. ^ The Methodist Church of Eminence has a membership of 271 ; their house of worship will seat 600, and is valued at $1,200; the^arsonage -is Valued at $1,000. Rev. Geo. W. Martin is the pastor. , The Reformed Church of North Blenheim was organized in 1852, by Rev. Jacob Van Woert, the first pastor, with 31 mem- bers. Their house of worship was erected in 1853 and cost originally $2,100. The present value of church and lot is GAZETTEER OF TOWH^ $3,000, and that of the parsonage $1,700 ; their house of wor- ship will seat 300 ; their membership is 34. The population of the town in 1870 was 1,437, and its area 25,966 acres. The number of school districts is 12, employing 23 teachers. The number of children of school age is 481 ; the average at- tendance, 165 ; the aimount expended for teachers' wages during the year ending September 30, 1871, was 42,488.33 ; other ex- penses, $575,31. BMOOME, named in honor of Lieut. Governor John Broome, was formed March 17, 1797, as Bristol. Its name was changed April 6, 1808. A part of Conesville was taken off in 1836, a part of Gilboa in 1848, and parts of Middleburgh wel-e annexed Feb. 9, and October 5, 1849. It lies upon the east bor- der of the County, south of the center. The surface is a hilly upland, broken by the deep ravines of the streams. The high- est summits are from 350 to 500 feet above the valleys. Oats- kill Oreek takes its rise in the north part, and several branches of the Schoharie Creek drain the north and west portions. The soil is a gravelly and clayey loam. Livingstonvillf, (p. v.) in the east part, south of the teenter, contains two churches, a store, a hotel, a grocery, two black- smith shops, a wagon shop, a shoe shop and about twenty dwel- lings. Franklinton, (p. v.) in the east part, contains a church, a store, a sash and blind shop, a wagon shop, two blacksmith shops and about a dozen dwellings. Smithton is a hamlet on^he south border. The first settlements were made before the Revolution. Among the early settlers, some of whom came in after the close of the Revolution, were Derick Van Dyck, John Robbins, a half- breed namfid Guillem, Allen Leet, Joshua and Asa Bushnell, George and Hezekiah Watson, Ebenezer Wickham, George Burt- wick, Timothy Kelsey, John Gillet and Ezra Chapman, all of whom came in previous to 1796. The first birth in the town, so far as known, was that of Francis Kelsey, in April 1794 ; the first death was that of Ezra Chapman, August 1794. In 1794, Griswold, Garden & Wells began the erection of a saw mill, and the next season a grist mill. David Elerson, distinguished among the riflemen of the Re- volution, settled in this town in 1793. Previous to the Revo- lution he was engaged in the Indian wars of Virginia, during which he received a bultet through his left shoulder. He was 93 \ GAZETTEER OF TOWKB. in the battle of Monmouth, under Col. Morgan. Col. M. hung upon I the rear of the retreating army for some distance. Arriv- ing near Middletown, Elerson, Murphy, Wilbur and Tnffts, all of whom were afterwards on duty in Schoharie, obtained per- mission to leaye the ranks and pursue the enemy to Raritan Bay. At length Elerson became separated from his compan- ions and found himself in sight of his foes. The army had ef- fected a landing on* Staten Island, under the cof er of the fleet in the bay, leaving nothing on the Middletown shore but some horses, wagons and a phaeton, supposed to belong to Sir Henry Clinton. This property was guarded by only two sentinels,one of whom stood on the beach near the water. Elerson ap- proached unperceived within a few_ yards of them, one ofiwhom WS.S a mounted trooper, and leveling his rifle ordered tnem to surrender. The soldier on foot was so surprised that he drop- ped his gun into the water, wetting the powder. The dragoon attempted to swim his horse to the island, but the tide was too strong and he was compelled to return. In the mean time Elerson ordered the other man to harness a pair of good horses to the carriage. By this time the dragoon had returned and, drawing a pistol on Elerson, the latter sent a bullet from his trusty rifle through the heart of his foe. This called the at- tention of the enemy, who immediately directed their artillery towards £he point. Elerson reloaded his rifle, and j nst as the sec- ond ball struck near him, leaped into the carriage and compelled his prisoner to drive him to the American camp. Elerson sold his horses and carriage for $187.50, and sent the money to his father in Virginia. Elerson died in 1838 or '39. David 'Willialns, one of the captors of Major Andre, removed to this town in 1805 and settled near Jjivingstonville, on a farm previously owned by Gen. Shay, the leader of what has since been known in the "history of Massachusetts, as Shay's Eebell- ion. John Paulding and Isaac Van Wart were the other two who captured Andre. As a reward for their services. Congress gave each an annual i)ension of $200, in specie, and a silver med- al, inscribed on one side "^Fidelity," and on the other " Vincit Amor Patriaa." In addition to this, each of the captors was allowed the privilege of locating any confiscated lands in West- chester County, to the value of $1,250 or receive the same sum in cash. In the fall of 1830, the corporation of the city of New York sent an invitation to Mr. WilUams to be present at the celebration of the French Eevolution.

The Com- mittee, in speaking qt the Endless Chain Horse Powers made by Mr. Harder, say, that ",It works more equably, more smooth- ly and wifti less waste of power than any machines that we have ever met with. * * * The construction of this ma- chine is such as to produce a suflBcieht speed for threshing, by a very slow and easy movement of the hoijpes," while the me- chanical execution of this power is deserving of the highest commendation. The best of materials and the best workman- ship are combined in all machines coming from Mr. Harder's establishment. The Combined Thresher and Cleaner has sev- eral new features, rendering it suplerior to any other in use. Mr. Harder is about to erect new works commensurate with the increasing demand for his machines.

A body of water occupies one portion of the Cave and must be crossed by a boat Stalactites and other mineral formations are found here. The Cave extends for several miles and is visited by large numbers every summer. CohlesUll Center (Mineral Springs p. o.) is a hamlet, a little south-west of the center. The first settlement was jnade about f?50, along the flats bor- dering' on the creek.

Lewis, on the organization of a brigade of infantry, being the first man in the County who held that oflSce. The first land grants were made about 1730. During the Re- volution most of the inhabitants were ardent supporters of the Colonists, and as a consequence were exposed to the incursions •f Indians and Tories. At the outbreak of hostilities, there were twenty families located on the rich flats of the Cobleskill, within a distance of three miles. As they were all Whigs, they organized a militia company for their own defense. Christian Brown Being Captain, and Jacob Borst, Lieutenant. In June 1778 a-battle was fought in this town between Tories and In- dians under Brant, and provincial troops and militia under Cap- tains Patrick and Brown. The Americans were drawn into an ambuscade and defeated. Captain Patrick was killed. The settlers in the vicinity, hearing- the firing, fled to the forest for refuge, or towards the Fort at Schoharie, ten miles distant. Three of Patrick's and two of Brown's men took refuge in a house from which they fired upon the Indians. The latter stopped to dislodge them, thus giving the fleeing ones an oppor- tunity to escape. The house was set on fire and three of the soldiers were buried in the ruins, the other two were killed. The whole nuniber killed in the engagement was twenty-two, more than half of the Americans engaged being either killed or wounded. The enemy consisted of about 350, under the com- mand of Joseph Brant. The loss of the enemy was Supposed to equal if it did not exceed that of the Americans. Ten houses were burned on this occasion, and about the same number of barns. Jonas Belknap, one of the soldiers engaged in this battle, was wounded in the hip and carried from the field by Lawrence Lawyer. He then crept into a hollow log where he remained OAZETTEBB OF TOWNS. 99 until the next day, when he hacked out, and Beating himself upon a fence near hy, saw two Indisins apj^roaching witii their plunder. Unperceived by them he let himself down into a bunch of briars. The Indians halted near him and the dogs placed their feet upon the fence and growled. Taking a drink from a bottle, they then went on their way, to the great relief of Belknap. He then found his way to a house which had been deserted so hastily that food was left upon the table. Haying satisfied the cravings of his appetite, he lay down to rest. In. the afternoon he was conveyed to Schoharie Fort and properly cared for. The day before the battle of Cobleskill, Lieut. Borst, his broth- er Joseph and a man named Freemire were on a scout several miles up the creek. The latter was some distance ffom his com- panions when two Indians sprang suddenly upon them with a savage yell, intended to intimidate them., A friendly salutation ensued, when Han Yerry, one of the Indians, approached Joseph Borst, seized^his gun in a playful manner, threw open the pan,* and, with a sudden jerk, spilled the priming, saying, " It is good if this be gone." Borst, seeing that the object of the Indian was to disarm him, droj^ed his own gun and siezing that of the Indian, wrenched the flint from the lock, saying " It is good if this is served so." The Indian dropped his gun and clinched Borst. While the struggle was going on, the other Indian approached the Lieutenant, ordering him to surrender. Instead of doing so he instantly shot him. Han Yerry freed himself from the grasp of Borst and fled, leaving his gun. Captain Christian Brown, one of the early settlers of this town, erected a grist mill and a saw mill, previous to the Eev- olution, on a creek which flows into the Cobleskill near Barner- ville. These mills were not burned during the war, becauge a Tory named Sommer owned land near, and expected that Brown's place would be confiscated to the British Government a^d that he would then be able to obtain it. At the time the lower part of Cobleskill was plundered. Captain Brown hurried his family into the woods to protect them, and then returned to his house to secure some of his eflfects. While there, he saw from a window, a party of Indians approaching, and as he could not escape without being seen, he concealed himself, and after the Indians had pliindered it, he sought hirfan^ly and fled to a place of greater safety. While Brown was absent a wedding took place at his house. The parties were Brown's hired man and servant girl. The soldiers in the vicinity were invited guests, and all were abundantly served with pork and sour-crout, the best the house afforded. Brown's mills were erected on a stream a few rods from a deep pool from which the 100 OAZETTSES OF TOWNS. water issued. Some years after a saw mill was erected in Car- lisle op a stream which sank into the ground and disappeared near the mill. After this mill went into operation, sawdust appeared in the pool near Brown's mill, some ^hree miles dis- tant.

The town embraces a part of the Blenheim Patent, with parts of grants to Ury Rightmeyer, David Buffington-and Scott, and a part of the "State Lands." The last, named tracts com- prised the lands escheated to the State by failure of titles and the confiscated estates of Tories. The Reformed Church of Gilboa was organized about 1800. During its early history it had several different names, but was known especially as the " The Manor Church." The early records of the Ohftrch not being accessible, we are unable to give particulars of its early history. Eev. Cornelius D. Scher- merhorn was the first pastor, his ministry .beginning about 1803. The first house of worship was erected soon after 1800, and stood in the town of Conesville, about three miles east of .the present site. About the year 1836, the church edifice was removed from its original site and rebuilt where it now stands, at which time the Church received its present name. The present number of members is 120 ; the pastor is Eev. Wm. S. Moore, and the value pf church property is $4,000. The Flat Creek Baptist Church, in North Gilboa^ was organized January 2, 1831, by Rev. John Ormsbee with thirteen members. Mr. Ormsbee was the first pastor, and the first house of worship was erected in 1843. The present house was eredted in 1865, at a cost of $3,30O, with a seating ca^ci^ of 300. The present membership is 135 ; the pastor is Rev. J. B. Yanhoesen, and the value of church property is $3,500. A violent freshet occurred in this town and all along the Schoharie Valley a few years since, doing a great deal of damage. The population of the town in 1870 was 2,222, and its area, 36,538 acres.

JEFFEB80N was formed from Blenheim, February 12, 1803. A part of Summit was taken off in 1819. It is on the south line of the County, near the south-west corner. The sur- face is a hilly uplalid, the principal summits being about 1,000 feet above the valleys and 2,000 above tide. Mine Hill, in the south part, is estimated to be 3,200 feet above tid«. A high ridge extending through the town near the center, forms the water- shed between Ddawa,re and Mohawk Rivers. Uts^antha Lake is a small sheet of water on the south line. It is 1,800 feet above tide; it is often mentioned in old documents and was an angle in the bounds of Albany County in Coloniial times. It is the source of the west branch of the Delaware. < Jefferson, (p. o.) situated near the center, contains two churches, viz., Methodist and Presbyterian, a hotel, six stores, a printing office, two dental oflSces, two blacksmith shops, a wagon shop, two shoe shops, a cabin»3t shop and undertaker, a harness shop, a tailor shop, two milliner shops and 43 dwell- ings. Morseville is a hamlet in the north part. South Jefferson (p. o.) is a hamlet in the south part Westkill, in the nort-east part, contains about a dozen dwel- lings. The first settlements were made in different parts of the town in 1794. , Amos and Caleb Northrop settled in the east part; Samuel and Noah Judson settled near Utsyamtha Lake ; Henry Shelmerdine and James McKenzie, in the north-east part, on Westkill ; Stephen Marvin, Erastus Judd and Aaron Jones settled near the village. Most of these settlers were from New England. The first marriage was that of Marvin Judd and Lois Gibbs, in August 1800, and the first death was that of Elsie Judd, in June 1799. Heman Hickok taught the first school, in 1799. Canfield Coe kept the first inn, m 1794, and Rodman Lewis the first store, in 1800. Stephen Judd built the first saw mill, in 1796, and Heman Hickok the first grist mill, in 1799. The first tannery was built by Eli Jones, in 1810. A battle occurred near Lake Utsyantha, on the border of this town, between a party of Rangers under Captain Hager, with a company of eastern troops under Captain Hale, on one OAZETTBEB OF TOWNS. HI ( '■ — . — : side, and a party of Tories and Indians under Brant. Owing to the cowardly cond.uct of Gaptain Hale, the enemy were allowed to escape. The raid of the enemy was made at this time, Not. 1781, partly for the purpose of carrying to Canada the family of Captain Adam Crysler, a notorious Tory, whose family had remained near the Upper Port until this time. They had doubtless hoped that the rebellion would be put down and that th^ would still have the privilege of living in peace under the reign of King George. The night previous to the battle, the Americans encamped without building a fire, not deeming it prudent to do so, while so near an enemy of whose numbers they were ignorant They suffered consider- ably from the cold during the night, and th&.next day, Johan Jost Dietz and Peter Vrooman were left at the place of en- campment, in charge of a keg of rum and a quantity of pro- visions, to await the return of the troops. The rum was faith- fully guarded, by taking a large quantity of it into their own stomachs. Mrs. Polly Dyer, now aged 91 years, moved into this town in 1803. Mrs. Eeuben Merchant came in from Watertown, Conn., in 1803. The Methodist Church of West Jefferson was organized in 1800 with about a dozen members.

Pulton was taken oflf in 1828, and parts were attfieked, to Broome in 1849, It is the central town on the east border of the County. The surface is a hilly upland, divided into two ridges by the valley of Schoharie Creek, which extends north and south through the town. The|highest summits are from 600 to 800 feet above' the valley^ A hill opposite Middleburgh village was called by the Indians On-can-ge-na, meaning " Mountain of Snakes." A mountain just above Middleburgh, on the west side, was called 0-nis-ta-gra-wa ; the one next west was called To-wole-nou-ra, or " Spring Hill," and one south-east of Middleburgh, Mo-he-gou-. ter. Schoharie Creek receives Little Schoharie Creek from the east, and Linekill from the west. The hills bordering upon the streams are generally steep and sometimes precipitous. The soil is a clayey loam upon the hills and a sandy loam in the valleys. Hops and broom-corn are extensively cultivated.. Middleburgh, (p.

The motive power is water, having a fall of 35 feet and a wheel 28 feet in diameter. The first settlements were made by Palatines in 1711. Weis- ers Doif, one of the first established in the County, was located on a part of the present site of the village of Middleburgh. It contained about forty dwellings, small rude huts, built of logs and earth , and edvered with bark or grass. Hartman's Dorf was 114 OAZETTEEB OF TOWNS. also in this towni about two miles north of Weiser's. Hart- man's Dorf was the largest of the seven Tillages in this County founded by the Palatines. It is said to have contained sixty- live dwellings, similar in construction tp those of Weiser's Dorf. The first horse owned by the settlers was purchased at Schenec- tady by nine residents of this dorf. From Simm's "History of Schoharie," we quote the following account of a foot race, which ■doubtless created as great an interest as a horse race does in these days : "In the summer of 1713 or '14: & Stump was given by the In- dians to their German neighbors at Weiser's Dorf, to run a foot race, offering to stake on the issue, a lot of dressed deer-skins against some article the Germans possessed, possibly their old mare. The challenge was accepted, and a son of Conrad Weiser was selected, to run against a little dark Indian called the most agile on foot of all the tribe. On a beautiful dm the parties assembled at Weiser's Dorf to witness the race. llie race-course was above the village, and on either side the Germans and In- dians took stations to encourage their favorites. About individual bets on the occasion I have nothing to say. The couple started a distance of half a mile or more from the goal, at a given signal, and onward they dashed with the fleetness of antelopes, amid' the shouts and huzzas of the spectators. The race was to terminate just beyond the most southern dwelling of Weiser's Dorf. They ran with nearly equal- speed until their arrival at the dwelling mentioned, sometimes fortune inclining to the white, and sometimes to the red skin ; when an unex- Eected event decided the contest in favor of the German. They ad to run very close to the building, and Weiser, being on the outside as they approached it side by side, sprang with all his might against his competitor. The sudden impetus forced the Indian against thebuilding, and he rebounded and fell half dead upon the ground. Weiser then easily won the race, amid the loud triumphant shouts of his counteymen." Though the Indians were greatly enraged at first, they were appeased on Weiser's expressing himself very sorry that it hap- pened, arid declaring that it was unavoidable. It was at Weiser's Dorf that the people assembled under commandjof Madeline Zeh and administered summary punish- ment upon the Sheriff Adams fop daring to enforce the law against the inhabitants of that village> as stated Jn the County [history. Finding they could not enjoy their lands rent free, Weiser and some of his neighbors removed to Pennsylvania. GAZETTEBB OF TOWNS. 116 This town comprises parts of Schoharie Patent, Lawyer's and Zimmer's 1st Allotment, together with the patents of Thomas Eckerson, Becker & Eckerson, Thomas and Cornelius Eokerson, Clark, Depeyster, Vrooman, John Butler, Bouck, Lawrence Lawyer, Nichol*9 Mattice and the Vlaie Patent. The. Vrooman family were remarkable for their strength. There were four brothers, sons of Peter Vrooman, named Cornelius, Samuel, Peter and Isaac. They erected the first saw mill in the County^ on the Little Schoharie. It is said that two of them could carry a good' sized log on the cu'riage. At a hill called the Long Berg, on the Albany road, Cornelius Vrooman was accustomed to carry one or two bags of wheat on his shoulders, to favor his horsC; when going to Albany with a load of wheat. Samuel Vrooman is said to hare carried at one time twelve skipples of wheat and a harrow with iron teeth, from his father's house to the field, a shori distance off. A qhallenge of speed and strength between the inhabitants of the Mohawk and Schoharie Valleys took place at Schoharie. A sleigh was placed on bare ground, and with twelve heavy men in it, Cornelius Vi^pom^n, by the end of the tongue, drew it one and a half feet. Cornelius Eonda,, the Mohawk bully, attempted in vain to start it. Adam Crysler ran a,fp9t race with a man named Doxstader, from the Mohawk Valley, and easily won the race. - At the beginning of the French war, a treaty with the Indians was held in the present town of Mjddleburgh, It was numerously attended. Queter, an Oquago chief, who spoke in the interest of the French, alluding to their union, laid an iron wedge upon a fallen tree saying, "We are like that, strong and cannot be broken." Mrs. Josias Swart is said to have acted as interpreter upon the occasion. Takinga guinea from her pocket, she placed it upon the wedge, saying, "We are like that, which is equally strong and can outlive your symbol ; ibr if both be buried in the ground, the rust will destroy yours, wbile ours will come out as strong and bright as ever," It is supposed that Sir William Johnson was present on this occa- sion, as there were chiefs assembled from seiveral diflferent tribes. After the conquest of Canada, a jubilee was held on the same ground, at which a barrel of rnnl was drank. A bonfire was also built by piling pine knots around a dry tree. On this occasion Judge Bi^Own was present andwrestled with a young Indian whom he threw. His cries on getting up, brought his mother into the arena, who struck Brown on the head with a pine knot, knocking him down and nearly taking his life. 116 OAZETTEBB OP TOWNS. This was a promiiieiiirj»oint during the Revolution, the Mid- dle Fort being erected near the present site of the village. The siege by Sir John Johnson is described in tbe general history of the County. Most of the riflemen whose headquarters were at the forts in this County, were em^oyedas scouts, some of them being out most of the time. They were called Rangers and their duties were both fatiguing and hazardous. A scout was sent out from the Middle Fort and returned the evening before the attack of Sir John Johnson, having been absent thirteen days, visiting during their absence, Punchkill, Cherry Valley, Sharon, Uinadilla, Susquehanna, Delhi, Minisink and Cairo. At the close of the war, prosperity returned to this valley, and the arts of peace have had full sway. The following advertisement appeared in The True American in 1811. As a sample of hotel advertising in "ye olden time," it is worth preserving : " MiDDLKBUBGH, May 8th, 1811. "NOTICE.

The course of study is extensive, affording young ladies and geiitlemen all the facilities of a first-class academy. The apparatus and library are sufficient for the necessities of the students. Under its present management it bids fair to return to its former standing among the institutions of the State. Central Bridge, (p. v.) in the north part of the town, near the junction of the Schoharie Creek and Cobleskill, is a station on the A. & S. E. E. and the junction of the Schoharie Valley E. E. The old village of Central Bridge, on the south side ot the Cobleskill, about half a mile from the station, contains two churches, a hotel, a store, a harness shop, a blacksmith shop, a wagon shop, two grist mills, two saw mills, a machine shop and about twenty houses. At the station the building* are nearly all new, and quite a number in process of construction, and consist of two hotels,five stores, severai mechanic shops of various kinds, and abouktwenty dwelliligs. The Lutheran Cemetery is located on high grounds near the village of Schoharie and commands a fine view of the, surround- ing scenery. There are some fine monuments, and portions of • the ground indicate good taste in its arrangement. The old parsonage of the Lutheran .Church is still standing upon the ground. The Old Stone Fort Oemefery takes its. name from the stone church which was inclosed by pickets during the Eevolution OAZETTEEB OF TOWNS. 121 • and is still standing in the inclosure. This association was in- corporated about ten years ago, but little was done to improve the grounds; About three years ago a new Board of Trustees was appointed, and under the the management of the President, Dr. Peter S. Swart, and Mr. Almerin Gallup, the Secretary and Treasurer, the grounds are undergoing great improvement and the place bids fair to become one .of the most attractive points in this beautiful valley. The grounds embrace about seven acres, including the old cemetery, where rest the ashes of the actors in the Eevolutionary struggle. The first settlement was made in 1711 by a colony of Ger- man Palatinates who had previoudy settled on the Hudson. Bruna Dorf was near the present site- of the Court House. The name is said to signify the "Town of Springs." John Lawyer was the principal man in this settlement. About a mile north of this was Smith's Dorf. Fox's Dorf . was the next, and rjeceived its name from William Fox. It was in the vicinity of Fox's Creek, which still bears his name. Garlock's Dorf was the next on the north. Kneiskern's Dorf was on the east side of Schoharie Creek, opposite the mouth of Cobleskill. The descendants of many of the first settlers still reside in the County. The town includes parts of the Schoharie, Morris & Coeyman's, Lawyer & Bergh's, and the 2d Allotment of Lawyer & Zimmer's Patents. The first grist mill in the County was erected by Simeon ]^ara,way, on a small stream that flows into Fox Creek about a niiile above its mouth. A man named Cobel afterwards erected a mill on a small creek that flows into the Schoharie just below the bridge, about a mile from the Court House, and another near the mouth of the creek that still bears his name. Bolting cloths were not introduced until about 1760, by Henry "Weaver. When Johnson made his raid into the valley in October 1780, the Lower Fort, including the old stone church, was gar- risoned by about 150 or 200 men under the command of Major Becker. Hearing the firing at the forts up the valley. Major Becker dispatched Jacob Van Dyck, Anthony Brantner and Barney Cadugney, on the morning of October 17, to learn its cause. They proceeded up towards the Middle Fort until they were met by the advance of the enemy and were pursued by seven Indians led by one who was known in those times as Seth's Henry. They were fired upon and one of the scouts was wounded by a splinter torn from the fence by a shot. When the firing ceased at the Middle Fort for the flag of truce to advance. Major Becker sent out another scout, consisting of George Snyder, Jacob Bnders, John Van Wart and John Hutt, to nscertain whether the Fort was captured. The second scout 123 GAZETTEES 01' TOWNB. met the first and joined it in the flight. They were hotly pur- sued and were obhged to separate, Enders and Snyder taking refuge behind a rock just as a volley of bullets spent their force upon it. They however arrived at the Eort in safety. Van Wart stopped at a house for a lunoli and was surprised and killed. John Ingold with all his family was in the Fort, except his stepfather, A^nthony Witner, who refused to leave the house. He had with him an old gun with which to defend himself. The house was burned and in the ruins were found the remains of two skeletons, that of Witner being identified . by the silver knee-buckles. Ample time had been given to get everything in readiness for the defense of the Lower Port. Several barrds of water were in readiness in case the church should be set onflre. The magazine, which was well supplied,^ was under the pulpit and in charge of Dr. George Werth, who acted as surgeon. In the tower of the church, under the com- mand of Ensign Jacob Lawyer, Jr., some fifteen or twenty good marksmen were stationed. A number of women stood at the pickets with spears, pitchforks and other implements, with which to greet the enemy. The enemy approached the Fort about four o'clock in the afternoon and were saluted with a discharge of grape and canister from a small cannon. This was called by Col. Johnson, the " grass-hopper." As many of the enemy were seen to fall when it was discharged, it was sup- posed to have done good execution, but they had only drop- ped down to escape the shot. When fired upon, the regulars under Johnson passed across the flats, west of the Fort, and crossed Fox Creek below the old saw mill. The Indians under Brant passed to the east and crossed the creek, a few only re- maining to burn the buildings. The wood work of Tunis Swart's tavern, the walls of which are still . standing, was burned. The house now owned by Mrs. Deitz, a short distance south-east of the Fort, was built before the Eevolution. An Indian was seen approaching the house with a fire-brand, when several rifles were discharged at him from the tower, causing him to take refuge behind a tree to escape from view. Five balls- struck the faee, and the Indian made no further attempt to burn, the house. Several shots from a small cannon carried by the enemy, were fired ^t the church, and two bajls lodged in the roof. The hole made by one of them in the cornice is still to be seen. An Indian who was concealed behind a tree on the bank of the creek, lodged three balls in the tower of the church, but upon the shot being returned from the tower, he decamped in haste. A dwelling and grist mill, standing near the Fort, were set on fire, but were extinguished after the enemy left.

It was sold to the State a few years ago for an armory, and a new roof put on and some change made in the interior. The names of many of the contributors to its erection were cut upon the walls and are still legible. The following are among them : Dennis Swait, 1772, Johannes Lawyer, Esq., Archibald Oamell, Geo.

M., was the pastor at the time the church was built, and Philip Schuyler was the builder. There are indications that certain names have been erased, and tradition says that the price for carving the names of those not contributors to its erection was a gallon of rum, and some whose names were cut upon the stones, failed to fulfill their part of the contract, and their names were erased. Upon a small headstone in the cemetery is the following inscription : " In memory of Col. Peter Vro- man who departed this life Dec. %% 1793, aged 57 years, 9 months and 9 days." He had command of the Schoharie forts most of the time after their erection. The first town meeting of which any records can be found, was held at the house of Johannis Ingold, the first Tuesday in April 1797, and continued by adjournment till Wednesday. Henry Becker was chosen Town Clerk ; Jacob Beecker, Jacob Kniskern, P. Swart, Casper Rouse, Henricus Shafer, Assessors; David Sternb^rgh, Peter Swart, Johh Enders, Commissioners of Highways; Wm.

St. Paula Church (Evangelical Lutheran) was the first organ- ized in the town. The precise time is not known, but it is sup- posed to have been soon after the settlement. Eev. Peter . Nicholas Sommer, the first pastor, a native of Hamburgh, Ger- many, received a call from the Congregation on the 7th of Sept, 1743, while yet a candidate for the ministry. He arrived at Schoharie May 25, 1,743, and on the 30th of the same month preached his introductory sermon and entered upon the per- formance of pastoral , duties. The first vestry meeting of which there is any record, was held June 8, 1743, at which were the following ofiBcers : Abraham Berg, elder; Henry Schaeffer and Peter Loewenstein, deacons. It was re- solved to commence the erection of a parsonage as a place of residence for the minister and ^place of worship for the con- gregation. On the 3d of July 1743 the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered to 100 communicants, and on the 13th of September of the same year, the^r services were held for the first time in the new parsonage. The corner stone of the first church edifice was laid May 10, 1750, and it was dedi- cated on Whitsuntide, May 6th, 1751. It was a stone structure, located on the present cemetery grounds. Mr. Sommer continu- ed as pastor until the close of the year 1780. He was succeeded by Kev. Anthonjr Theodore Braun, who was followed by'Kev. Frederick H. Quitman, in the second year of whose ministry, 1796, the present house of worship was erected. It is a sub- stantial brick structure, seating abouti600. It has been twice remodeled, and with suitable repairs will serve the congregation for many years. Ten settled pastors,, including the present in- cumbent, Eej. J. H. Heck, have ministered to this congrega- tion since i«s organization. After becoming the mother of several churches in the County, this Church has a recorded membership of about 300 communicants. The original cost of the present church edifice was about $5,000, exclusive of con- tributions of materials and labor. The present value of the church and parsonage is about $30,000. Some of the stones in OAZETTEEB OF TOWNS. 1S6 .

M., Johannes Lawyer Jr., Johannes Kniskern, Ludwic Kickert, Henrich Schaffer, Jost Borst, Margaretta Ingolt, Elisabeth Lawyer and Philip Berg. The Reformed Church was organized about 1728, but the early records have been burned. The old stone church was erected in 1773 ; Eev. Johannes Schuyler .was for many years the pastor. The J)resent edifice was erected in 1844 ; it cost $5,500 and 'will seat 350. The present membership is 122, and the value of the church property is about $10,000. The Methodist Church was -organized in 1840 by Eev. Mr. Poor, with twelve members. Their house of worship was erected in 1842 ; it will seat 300 and cost $4,000, The present value of church and parsonage is $5,000. The membership numbers 110, and the pastor is Bev. 0. Mott. The African M. E. Zion's Church was organized in 1857 by Eev. E. T. Easter, with twelve members. The .present mem- bership is 32. They worship in a house rented for the purpose. Eev. Zachariah Tyler is the pastor. Prom copies of Schoharie newspapers of an early date, we give a few advertisements. In The True American, 1811, is the following: "FOE SALE.

SEW AMD, named in honor of Wm. H, Seward, was formed from Sharon", Feb. 11, 1840. It lies on the west border of the County, north of the center. The surface is a hilly and broken upland, the highest summits being from 300 to 500 feet above the yalleys. Westkill, ttie principal staream, flows south-east through near the center. The soil is a clayey loam. Hops and other products are raised to considerable extent. Dairying is also carried on. Bound Head Hill, half a mile south-east of Seward Valley, is about 500 feet high. Frdm its summit is a fine view of the surrounding countryv Hyndaville, (p. v.) in the south part, is a station on the Sharon & Cherry Valley R.

When the Eetolutionary War broke out, three brothersj' named Wm., John; and Philip Crysler, who lived in New Dor- lach, were Tories, and went to Canada m 1777. Philip Crysler, whose family remained at New Dorlach, was desirous of re^^ moving to Canada, and for that purpose had a party assigned to him in 1780, just'before Johnson's invasion of Schoharie. The party, consisting of eighteen Indians and three Tories, first .made their appearance at the house of Michael Merckley. They captured his two daughters, a son and two other boys, the rest of the family being absent from home at the time. When Mr. Merckley returned home, he saw tlie Indians, and while dismounting from his horse, was shot dead and scalped. Miss Catharine Merckley, a niece of the one just mentioned, was also shot and scalped. Bastian Prance, on hearing the firing, took his gun and started for the Schoharie Port. One of his children was killed and several were taken prisoners. Those who escaped, concealed themselves in the woods until the enemy were gone and it was considered safe to come from their con- cealment. The descendants of Mr. Prance are now quite nu- merous in this town. Christopher Prance, who was at the Schoharie Port at the time of this attack, was afterwards taken prisoner by the In- dians and escaped on the second day of his captivity, by running, being one of the swiftest runners of the country. He was pur- sued in his flight, and coming to a stream with high banks and' a deep swift current, he seized a pole and placing one end in the water, leaped across, tb the great astonishment of his pur- surers, who gave up the chase. At another time his feet saved him from cfipture by an unarmed band of Indians. Jacob Prance served during the war and was one of the most daring and effective actors in this County. During the same season, previous to the events already nar- rated, a party consisting of seven Indians, a 8q,uaw, and Adam Crysler, a Tory, arrived in the settlement and put up at the house of Michael Merckley. Their, object was to capture Bas- tian Prance, but he being absent, it was suggested that the fam- ily of Wm.Hynds would serve as a substitute. The next day, while at dinner, the family of Hynds, consisting of himself, wife and seven children, were surprised and taken prisoners. Pour horses were taken ; the plunder was placed upon the backs of three of them, and upon the fourth Mrs. Hynds and several Of her small children were placed. The party were three weeks in going to Niagara. On passing Indian villages they were much abused by squaws and children. Mrs. Hynds and four of the children died while in captivity. After suffer- ing the hardships of their captivity for two years and a half, GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 1S9 Mr. Hynds and two of his remaining children returned home, with nearly three hundred other prisoners. One daughter remained in Canada nearly three years longer. The Lutheran Church of Gardnerville was organized in 1837 by Rev. P. Wieting, the first pastor. The first house of wor- ship was erected in 1849 at a cost of $3,000. The present house was erected in 1861 ; it will seat 500 and is valued at $5,000. The present membership is 285. The first pastor con- tinued with this Church until his death. Rev. P. H. Turner was his successor, and after serving the Church for a little more than two years, he died suddenly, leaving the Church without a pastor. The population of the town in 1870 wa,8 1,766, and the area, ,19,701 acres. The number of school districts is 12, employing 7 male and 12 female teachers. The number of children of school age is 596 ; the number attending school, 484 ; the average attend- ance, 217^ the value of school houses and sites, $4,750, and the amount expended for school purposes during the year ending Sept. 30, 1871, was $3,450.92.* 8HAItOJ!f, named from Sharon, Connecticut, was formed from Schoharie, March 17, 1797, as Borlaxh. Its name was lubsequently changed. Seward wastaken off in 1840. It is the north-west corner town of the County. The surface is a rolling and hilly upland. The highest summits in jhe. south- west corner are about 500 feet above the valleys. Westkill is the principal stream and flows south thtough the west part. The soil is a gravelly loam. Hops are raised to a considerable extent. The underlying limestone contains numerous caves. Sharon Springs, (p. v.) located a little north-west of the center of the town, is noted for its sulphur and chalybeate springs, which have a high reputation for the cure of cutaneous diseases. The hotel accommodations are increasing annually to meet the demands of the visiting community. The im- provements, added to the natural attractions 6f the place, render it unsurpassed in the number of its visitors, except by Saratoga. The Sharon & Cherry Valley Railroad passes within half a mile of the village, affording all needed facilities for transportation. It contains two churches, nine hotels, several stores and mechanic shops, and about 1,000 inhabitants. The springs are so strongly impregnated with sulphur that chips, leaves and pebbles, exposed to the action of the water for a short time, become coated with a thin whitish coat of sulphur. A short distance below the springs is a fine cascade. The view 130 QAZETTiSSn OV TOWNS. from the Pavilion is one of the finest in this region. It stands npon the summit of a hill, that oterlooks a landscape of rare beauty. Bqekville, about a third of a mile from Sharon Springs,^ con- tains two churches, two hotels, a store, a blacksmith shop^ two wagon shops, and about thirty dwellings. It is situated between the railroad station and tile Springs. Sharon Hill, (Sharon p. o.) situated about three miles from the Springs, contains a church, a school house, a hotel, a store, a blacksmith shop, an iron foundry and about 25 dwellings. Leesville, (p. v.) in the west part of the town, on the Sharon and Cherry Valley Eailroad, conjains two/ churches, a wagon shop, a blacksmith shop, a carpenter shop and about thirty dwellings. ' Sharon Oenter, (p. t.) about two miles east of RookTille,, con- tains a hotel, a blacksmith shop,.a wagon shop, a ch^se factory and about a dozen dwellings. Engellville, in the south-west part, contains a grist mill, a blacksinith shop and ten dwellings. Beekman^g Corners is a hamlet. Col. Calvin Kich, from New England,, is said to have been the first settler in this town. He was afterwards at Sack^ts Harbor as Colonel of drafted militia in Gen. Eichard Dodge's brigade. Calvin Pike, William Vanderwarker, Conrad Fritbhe, Abraham and John Mereness, John Malick and Peter Courment, were early settler? and; were obliged to flee to Schoharie or Fort Hunter for safety during the war. "William Beekman kept the first store; John Hutt built the first saW mill, and Omeo La- grange the first grist mill. The first tannery was built by Frederick & Crouck, and the first clothing works by John Hutt. The town conprises part qf Frederick Young's Patent of 20- 000 acres, granted September 25, 1761 ; a tract of 8,000 acres, granted to Bradt and Livingston ; a tract of 7,000 acres, grant- ed to Johannes Lawyer, Jr., Jacob Borst and others, August 14, 1761, and a, spiall part of the New Dorlach Patent. The first owners of Kew Dorlach latent were Michael and Johannes Jost, Jacob B. Borst, Johan Braun, Wm. BaucU, Michael Helt- zinger, Henrick Hanes, Johannes Shaflfer, Johannes and Jacob Lawyer, Christian Zeh, Mathias Beftumann, Lambert Sternberg, ■I^^^ J^eyser and Pfeter Nicholas Sommer. The patent pro- vided that any differences that might arise were to be settled by arbitration. "' 9A.ZETTSEB OF TOWNS. 131 On the 9tli of SviHj 1781, a party of Tories and Indians, com- poaedjnostly of Indians, under the command of a Tory named Doxtader, entered a small settlement in the present -town of Boot, known as Ourrytovn, plundered and burnt all the build- ings except one which belonged to a Tory, murdered some of the inhabitants, and taking others prisoners^ departed. They encamped that night about two miles east of Sharon Springs, on the north side of the present line of the Western Tttrupike. The enemy numbered about 500, and encamped on the highest grounds in a cedar swamp. A party numbering about 260, under command of Col. Willett, started in puiBuit and arrived in the yicihity of their camp about daylight. A little south of the road is a ridge of land, and just beyond this, a little valley. By a circuitous route, Col. Willett reached JIhis- Ibw land, haviii^ i^e ridge between him and the enemy, and drew up his men in a crescent. He then sent a few of his men over the ridge to fire on the enemy and retreat, hoping by that means to draw the enemy .within his power ana thua defeat them, though their number was nfearly double that bf his own. The plan succeeded admintbly. The enemy, immediately snatching thdr weapons, pursued the attaeking party until within easy range of the main force, when a hotly contested battle took place. Both parties fought in Indian style, from beljind stumps and trees, continuing the combat for about two hours, when the enemy retreated, hotly pursued by Col. Willett, who jouted them so completely that most of the camp equipage and the plunder taken the day before fell into his hands. The enemy, not wishing to be fetardedin their flight by prisoners, murdered and scalped most of them, that they ihight not lose everything. Jacob bievendorf, who was then a lad, while attempting to escape, was knocked down and scalped. He recovered, lived to a good old age and becaihe one of the wealthiest fiirmers in the town of Boot In this engagement Col. Willett lost five men killed and eiiriltt woundted, two mortally. Atnoog ihe latter was Captain Bob'ert McKean, who died me next day. He was a brave and meritorious ofiBcer. The loss of the enemy was very severe, probably amounting to near fifty. One of their wounded was carried on a blanket, between two polea, to the Genesee Valley, where he died. Most ot the cattle, being abandoned by their captors, fbtindthei!r Way back to ther former pastures. A few other depre&tioiiti) were committed by small parties of savages Who retutti^ to the settlements. The first church organized in the town was Saint John's EimngeUtitl Lutheran, about 1776, by Bev. Petel: N. Sommer. Bev. Henry A. Moeller was the first settled pastor. The present 132 OAZETTEHB OF TOWSSj mem'berghip is 92; ,the, pastor is Bey., N. g^lock, and the raluei of churcli property, is $11,000. The Reformed Church of Sharon was organized July 31, 1795. Eev.

WRIGHT, named in honor of Governor Silas Wright, was formed from Schoharie, April 4, 1846. It lies in the north part, on the east border of ^he County. The surface is a hilly upland. The highest summits along the south line are from 600 to 800 feet above the valleys. Fox Creek is the principal stream and flows in a north-westerly course through the center. The soil is a clay and gravelly loam. 6allupville,{Tp. v.) near the center of the town, contains three churches, a saw mill, a grist mill, a tannery, a hotel, three stores, several mechanic shops and about 40 dwellings. Shutters Comers, (p. v.) in the west part, on Fox Creek, con- tains a store, a hotel, a saw mill, a grist mill and about a dozen dwellings. Waldenvitte, in the south-east part, is a hamlet containing a store and a glove factory. The first settlement was made by Jacob Zimmer, near Gallup- ville, previous to the Revolution. Johannes Becker settled about two miles from Gallupville, on the creek. He had five sons living with him or near him during the Revolution. Frederick Denning, John Nashold, Frederick Seller, Christo- pher Shoefelt, John Hilsley and a man named Shaffer, were other early settlers. Jacob Zimmer kept the first inn, John and Henry Becker, the first store. Jacab Zimmer built the first grist mill, and Zimmer, Becker and Shaffer, the first saw mill. On the morning of JuTy 36th, 1782, a band of Tories and Indians under Caplain Adam Orysler, made their appearance 136 OAZBTTBEB OF TOfiNS. in the valley of Fox Creek. They first proceeded to the house of Jacob Zimmer, who, with his son Peter, was absent. They murdered and scalped Jacob, Jr., set fire to the house and barn after taking what plunder they could carry, and proceeded towards Becker's. Soon after leaving the house, they met Peter Zimmer, whom they made prisoner, and killed and scalped a Hessian who had deserted from the British. Major Joseph Becker lived in a stone house on the bank of the creek; his three brothers Jacob, John and William were in the field, Jacob and William hoeing, and John cutting brush at a short distance from them. The two former discovered the Indians and started for the house, pursued by the enemy. Though they did not succeed in that, they eluded the Indians and thus escaped death or captivity. They were not fired upon, doubtless through fear of alarming the Major, whom they hoped to cap- ture. The enemy were discovered in time for those near the house to take refuge in it and secure the doors and windows. The inmates of the house, when the siege commenced, con- sisted of Major Becker, John Hutts and George Shell, besides several women and children. The windows werfe protected by thick plank, except the upper portion. Each was stationed at a window to fife upon the enemy as chance might be offered, the Indians meantime, by their shots, rendering it extremely hazardous for any one to approach in sight. After continuing the attack for some time, the Indians attempted to set fire to the house, the only conibustible portiom of which was the roof and a wooden spout extending from the eaves to within three or four feet of the ground. Placing a wheelbarrow loaded with combustibles under the spout, they set it on fire. As the flames began^ to ascend towards the roof, Major Becker suc- ceeded in removing some shingles near . the eaves, and through the aperture thus made extinguished the fire. The Indians continued to renew their efforts until the spout was burned beyond their reach, when they gave it up. While a part of the enemy was firing at the windows. Shell discovered one skulking along the bank of the creek with a fire brand with which to set the mill on fire. Watching his opportunity, he sent a bullet through him. After several hours the siege was raised. The firing was not heard at the Lower Fort, though only three miles distant, but was heard at the Middle Fort, twice that distance. Though the news of the attack was carried to the Fort by some who fled from the immediate vicinity, and a party started out. under Lieut. Snyder, they did not arrive until the enemy had left. Johu Snyder was captured by OryS- ler's party, and the next day, in the town of Oobleskill, George Warner, Jr„ was captured. The party than started for the GAZETTEEE OF TOWNS. I37 • ^ ^^ :Susquehanna, thence to Niagara. The second day after leaving Cobleskill they were obliged to subsist on horse flesh, without bread or seasoning of any kind. On the way they were sup- plied with deer, wolf, rattlesnake and hen-hawk, but without bread or salt. The Indians seldom harmed a rattlesnake unless it was killed for food. The prisoners suffered the usual hard- ships and were compelled to run the gaumtlet on arriving at the Indian villages. The Lutheran Church of Gallupville was organized in 1852 by Eev. Swackhammer, the first pastor, with 25 members. Their house of worship was erected in 185.3 at a cost Of $3,000, and having a capacity to seat 300. The present membership is 175 ; the pastor is Eev.

LBUCOREHEA, the general and inBldnous destroyer of women's strength and beauty, is invariably overcome by our treatment, to all diseases of woman, from whatever cause and the longest standing, we have the ™Tliere*'S%o°mncrconnected with this subject of woman's health, that all women should consult a physician, herself a woman and conversant with all the improvements aSd discoveries o! science. The nreservation of woman's beauty should be an object of scientific care, and is one of which American women are ven; ignorant. Mrs. BUH- LEIGH, while in Europe, made herself familiar with the habits and customs of dls- tineuislied women In France and elsewhere. . , „ ^,, _ . , . Mbs BURLEIGH removes all obstructions to the Monthiy Courets at one interview. An elesant and strictly private home for those desiring Board and.Nnremg. Ladies ait- tended in confinement or provided with medical care and nursing in Mrs. B.'s house. Painful Menstruation is relieved in all cases. Catarrh, so often pronounced incurable, and Bronchitis, Spinal Diseases and Neuralgia, are entirely overcome by Chrono Ther- mal treatment after years of Ineffectual trial of the ordinary practice. Ladies suffer no min in severe labors under ottr care. Mrs. Burleigh spent four years in France in the study of Midwifery, and the various modes of treating female diseases, m which the ■^MK?BUKLKI&H'can be consulted by letter, but all letters must contain one dollar to insure'attentlon.

BtntLEioB is a lady of the finest intellectual powers and very uncommon literary attainments, and, as she has had very great advantages In the study and practice of medicine, both in this country and Europe, we cannot doubt that she is a skillful physician.
