Y. j Has discovered a perfect cure for Cancers without the use of the knife. Thousands of cases cured can testify to the efficacy of this plan of treatment. This preparation will destroy the specific nature of most Cancers in from ten to sixty minutes. Even in those , large Cancerous affections of the breast, from which so many females die annually, my specific is equally as effectual as in those smaller surface Cancers. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of all thoBe persons who have died from Cancer, could easily have been cured. ' Cancer has been considered from time immemorial the greatest scourge of the human race ; but the time will come when all shall sec that it is as remediable .as any other dis ease. At the same time remedies are given to purify the blood and fortify the system against a renewed attack. In all cases, if the Cancer is not too far advanced, a perfect cure, is warranted, or n'o charge. Most persons are greatly deceived in regard to the first symptoms and appearance of Cancer, considering it very" painful from the commencement. This is a sad mistake, , (causing the death of thousands,) there being but little or no pain until the Cancer is far : advanced. The only symptoms for months, and in some cases even for years, is occa sionally either a stinging, itching, smarting, burning, creeping or shooting sensation, and in some cases not even any oftnese. Nearly all of those kernels or lumps that occur in: the female brea6t, and also those unnatural appearances in the form of crusts or warty excrescence, which appear in either sex on the face, lips, nose, eye lids, or any other part of the surface, are cancers'. Cancer is very easily cured, in its early stage, consequently it is of the very greatest importance that all thus afflicted should haye immediate treat- : ment ; as thousands of very valuable lives have been lost from pure neglect, having been misguided by physicians having no knowledge of the disease, who, by calling it Scrofula, < Erysipelas, Salt Rheum or some other non-terrifying disease, lull this unfortunate class | in the cradle of ignorance, until upon the very verge of death, when, to hide such ignor ance, thephyBician tellB the patient that it has finally turned to Cancer, and cannot be 1 cured. There is no such thing as turning to (lancer. "Whatever endB in Cancer, began in Cancer. Bo no longer deceived. If you have the slightest suspicion of trouble, seek ; immediate relief and thereby preserve life. Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh; Asthma, Heart Disease, Dyspepsia, Liver Com- , plaint, Fits, St. Vitus' Dance, Neuralgia, Scald Head, Piles, Tape Worms, or Worms oC any kind, all Diseases of the Skin, Pimples, Scrofula or King's Evil, Fever Sores, Spinal Diseases, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Diabetes, Kidney Diseases, Gravel, ana all Diseases peculiar to Males or Females, successfully treafcea.

Patients from a distance, except in Surgical and Cancer cases, by sending a full des cription of their symptoms, can have medicmes sent by Mail or Express, and be treated at home. All letters promptly answered, and medicines ordered, immediately forwarded. The Doctor is a graduate with an experience of\$over fourteen years in the practice of medicine, twelve of which have been spent in Rome. N. B.— All persons troubled with Asthma should send for Dr. Kingsley's ASTHMA SPECIFIC, which is warranted to relieve any case or money refunded. Send for DR. KINGSLEY'S AGUE SPECIFIC, which is purely vegetable and never fails to cure. All troubled with a Cough of any kind should be sure to send for DR. KINGSLEY'S COUGH BALSAM, which cures as by magic.

SYRACUSE : FEINTED AT THE JOURNAL OFFICE, 23 & 24 E. WASHINGTON STEEET. 1878. This Institution, now the private property of the Principal, F. Gt. SNOOK, former Principal ot the Liberty Normal Institute, is by special act of the Legislature continued subject to the visitation ol the Regents, and the control of a Board of Trustees. Thus while in point of supervision it enjoys all the advantages possessed by any similar institution in the State, it at the same time, in the fact of its being private property, enjoys other and equally important advantages possessed by but few of its compeers. No person who has ever been called upon to take any part in the supervision of institutions ot this kind, can have failed to realize the positive necessity for a direct pecuniary interest on the part of the principal in the institution itself, to insure that constant watchfulness and care in every particular, so necessary to entire and complete success. since the transfer, the buildings have been thoroughly repaired, the grounds improved, and the general appearance of everything about the premises very much changed for the better. SOCIAL ADVANTAGES. The boarding-house, being kept by the Principal, an opportunity is afforded to add to the instruction o the school-room the advantages of the social circle. Every reasonable effort will be made to promote the comfort and happiness, as well as to advance the interest of those attending the school. HOURS OF STUDY. Boarders are required to spend from 6 till 8 in the evening, and from 7 till 8 in the morning, in the s tndy room with the Principal. The time spent in the school room is chiefly devoted to recitation, hence the necessity for study out of school. The above arrangement, while it allows ample time for recreation, per mits none to be wasted ; and further, it secures habits of industry and in a great measure does away with all opportunities for forming evil associations. PHYSICAL AND MORAL TRAINING. Parents may rest assured that here the physical and moral being of their sons and daughters will be properly cared for. We never lose sight of the fact that to cultivate the intellect at the expense of the health, or the morals, is the very worst policy that can be adopted. A true education aims at an harmonious develop ment of the whole being. F. ft. SNOOK, Principal and Proprietor. INTRODUCTION. INTRODUCTION. In presenting to the public the "Gazetteer and Business Directory of Sullivan County," the publisher desires to return his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly aided him in obtaining the 'information it contains, and rendered it possible to present it in the brief space of time in which it is essential such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to the several editors of the papers published in the County, for the uniform kindness which has been evinced in calling public attention to the author's efforts ; and to the following named gentlemen, James E. Quinlan,* Gen. A. C. Niven and' W. B. Niven of Monticello, for essential aid in furnishing material for the work. Many others have placed us under similar obligations, but as credit has been given in such cases, as well as in works from-which we have quoted, in connection with the substance of the information gleaned from each, we omit special mention here; while others hate kindly volunteered their assistance, to all of whom we tender our grateful acknow ledgement. That errors have occurred in so great a number of names and dates as are here given is probable ; and that names have been omitted which should have been inserted is quite certain. We can only say that we have exercised more than ordinary diligence and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book making. Of such as feel aggrieved in consequence of errors or omissions we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader i • *Mr Quinlan very generously permitted us to examine and make extracts from the MS for his "History of Sullivan County," which is to be issued the present year, a privilege of which we have gladly availed ourselves and for which and the verbal infor mation obtained from him ,we cannot too warmly express our thanks. We respectfully invite the attention of our patrons and others into whose hands this work may fall, to a further notice of Mr. Quinlan's work, which appears on page 340. INTRODUCTION. in marking such as have been observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs, and which are found in the Errata, following the Introduction. It was designed to give a brief history of all the Church organizations in the County, but owing, in some cases, to the negligence of those who alone were able to give the necessary information, and in others, to the inability of any one 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 to the patronage of those under whose obser vation these pages may come. While thanking our patrons and friends generally for the liberality and cordiality with which our efforts have been seconded, we take this occasion to express the hope that the information found in these pages will not prove devoid of interest and value, though we are fully conscious that the brief history of the County we are enabled to give, is by no means an exhaustive one, and can only hope that it may prove a nucleus and incentive to future historians, "who will be the better able to do full justice to the subject, and leave our work to secure that favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discrimi nating public.

Nom— 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 sum than one hundred dollars, and on receipts for any sum of money, or for the payment ofany 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 required upon the transfer or assignment of a mortgage, where it or the instrument it secures has been once duly stamped." CANCELLATION. 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 his name, and the date (the year, month, and day) on which the same is attached or used. Each stamp should be separately cancelled. When stamps are printed upon checks, &c, so that infilling up the instrument, th%face of the stamp is and must necessarily be writ ten across, no other cancellation will be re quired. All cancellation must be distinct and legi ble, and except in the case of proprietary stamps from private dies, no method of cancellation which differs from that above described can be recognized as legal and sufficient. PENALTIES. A penalty of fifty dollars is imposed upon every person who makes, signs, or issues, or who causes to be made, 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 stomp for denoting the tax chargeable thereon, cancelled in the manner required by law, with intent to evade the provisions of the revenue1 act. A penalty of two hundred dollars is im posed upon every person who pays, nego tiates, or offers in payment, or receives or takes in payment; any bill of exchange or order for the payment ofany sum of money drawn or purporting to be drawn in a for eign country, hut payable in the United States, untfl the proper stamp has Jjeen af fixed thereto. A penalty of fifty dollars is imposed upon every person who fraudulently makes use of an adhesive stamp to denote the duty re quired by the revenue act, without effectu ally cancelling and obliterating the same in the manner required bylaw. 38 STAMP DUTIES. Attention is particularly called to the fol lowing extract from section 155, of the act of June 30, 1864, as amended by the act of July 13, 1866 : "If any person shall wilfully remove or cause to be removed, alter or cause to be al tered, the cancelling or defacing marks on any adhesive stamp, with intent to use the same, or to cause tne use of the same, after it shall have been used once, or shall know ingly or wilfully sell or buy such washed or restored stamps, or offer the same for sale, or give or expose the same to any per son for use, or knowingly use the same or prepare the same with intent for the fur ther use thereof, or if any person shall knowingly and without lawful excuse (the proof whereof shall lie on the person accus ed) have in his possession any washed, re stored, or altered stamps, which have been removed from any vellum, parchment, pa per, instrument or writing ; ' then, and in every such case, every person so offending, and every person knowingly and wilfully aiding, abetting, or assisting in committing any snch 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 i sjiot 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 amount 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 REMARKS. Revenue stamps may be UBed 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 instru ments. The law does not designate which of the parties to an instrument shall furnish the necessary stamp, nor does the Commission er of Internal Revenue assume to determine that it shall be supplied by one party rather than by another: but if m instrument sub ject to stamp duty is issued without having the necessary stamps affixed thereto, it can not be recorded, or admitted, or used in ev idence, in any court, until a legal stamp or stamps, denoting the amount of tax, 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 surren 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 prior to October 1, 1862, to make it admissible in evidence, or to entitle it to record. Certificates of loan in which there shall appear any written or printed evidence of an amount of money to be paid on demand, or at a time designated, are subj ect 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 ; and "when more than one signature is affix ed to the same paper, one or more stamps may be affixed thereto,' representing the whole amount of 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— such stamp duty being the highest rate required for Buch 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, issued by the officers therein named. Also to the changes in sections 162 and 168, 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 ofany sum of money, drawn or purporting to be drawn in any foreign country, but payable in the United States, must, before paying or accepting the same, place thereupon a stamp indicating the duty. It is only upon conveyances of realty sold that conveyance stamps are necessary. A deed of real estate made without valuable consideration need not be stamped as a conveyance; but if it contains covenants, such, for instance, as a covenant to warrant and defend the title, it should be stamped as an agreement or contract. When a deed purporting to be a convey ance of realty Bold, and stamped according ly, is inoperative, a deed of confirmation, made simply to cure the defect, requires no stamp. In such case; the second deed should contain a recltalofthe facts, and should show the reasons for its execution. Partition deeds between tenants in com- STAMP DUTIES. 39 mon, need not he stamped as conveyances, inasmuch as there is no sale of realty, but merely a marking out, or a defining, of the boundaries of the part belonging to each : but where money or other valuable consid eration is paid by one co-tenant to another for equality of partition, there is a sale to , the extent of such consideration, and the conveyance, by the party receiving it, should be stamped accordingly. A conveyance ol lands sold for unpaid taxes, issued Bince August 1, 1866, by the officers of any county, town, or other mu nicipal corporation in the discharge of their Btrictly official duties, Is exempt from stamp tax. A conveyance of realty sold, subject to a mortgage, should be stamped according to the consideration, or the value of the prop erty unencumbered. The consideration in such case is to be found by adding the amount paid for the equity of redemption to the mortgage debt. The fact that one part of the consideration is paid to the mortgagor and the other part to the mort gagee does not change the liability of the conveyance. The stamp tax upon a mortgage is based upon the amount it is given to secure. The fact that the value of the property mortgag ed is less than that amount, and that conse quently the Becurlty is only partial, does not change the liability of the instrument. When, therefore, a second mortgage is giv en to secure the payment of a sum of mon ey partially secured by a priormortgage 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 from loss, or given for any purpose whatever, other than as security for the 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 ofany land, tenement, or portion thereof, is based upon the annual rent or rental value of the property leased, and the duty is the same whether the lease be for one year, for a term of years, or for the fractional part of a year only. An assignment of a lease within the mean ing and intent of Schedule B, is an assign ment of the leasehold, or of some portion thereof, by the lessee, or by some person claiming by, from, or under him ; snch an assignment as subrogates the assignee to the rights, or some portion of the rights, of the lessee, or of the person standing in his place. A transfer by the lessor of his part of a lease, neither giving nor purporting to give a claim to the leasehold, or to any part thereof, but simply a right to the rents, &c, is subject to stamp tax as a contract or agreement only. The stamp tax upon a fire insurance policy is based upon the premium. Deposit notes taken by a mutual fire in surance company, not as payment of pre mium nor as evidence of indebtedness therefor, but to be used simply as a basis upon which to make rateable assessments to meet the losses incurred by the company, should not be reckoned as premium in de termining the amount of stamp taxes upon the policies. When a policy of insurance properly stamped has been issued and lost, no stamp is necessary upon another issued by the same company to the same party, covering the some property, time, &c, and designed simply to supply the loss. The second policy should recite the loss of the first. An instrument which operates as the re newal of a policy of insurance, is snbject to the same stamp tax as the policy. When a policy of insurance is issned 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 tbj| meaning of the statute. The payment Bjinply prevents the policy from expiring, by reason of non-per formance of its conditions ; a receipt given for such a payment requires no stamp. When, however, the time of payment has passed, and a tender of the premium is not sufficient to bind the company, but a new policy or a new contract in some form, with the mutuality essential to every contract, becomes necessary between the insurer and the insured, the same amount of stamps should 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, Ac, should be stamped as a contractor agreement. A bill single or a bill obligatory, i. «., an instrument in ' the form of a promissory note, under seal, is subject to stamp duty as written or printed evidence of an amount of money to be paid on demand or at a time designated, at the rate of five cents for each one hundred dollars or fractional part thereof. A waiver of protest, or of demand and notice, written upon negotiable paper and signed by the indorser, is an agreement, and requires 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 they did or did not appear, that they did or did not object, &a, it is subject to a stamp duty of five cents. 40 STAMP DUTIES. When an attested copy of a writ or other process Is used by a sheriff or other person in making personal service, or in attaching property, a five-cent stamp should be affix ed to the certificate of attestation. A marriage certificate issued by the offi ciating clergyman or magistrate, to be re turned to any officer of a State, county, city, town, or other municipal corporation, to constitute part of a public record, requires no stamp ; but if ft is to be retained by the parties, a five-cent stamp should be af fixed. The stamp tax upon a bill of sale, by which any snip or vessel, or any part there of, is conveyed to or vested in any other person or persons, Is at the same rote as that imposed upon conveyances of realty sold; a bill or sale ofany 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, Tlotes not negotiable, and of all other instruments the assignments of which are not particularly specified in the foregoing schedule, 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 ton voting at any election for officers ofany incorporated company or society, except religious, charitable, or literary societies, or public cemeteries," is signed by sever al stockholders, owning separate and dis tinct shares, it is, in its legal effect, the separate instrument of each, and requires stamps to the amount of ten cents for each and every signature; one or more stamps may be used representing the whole amount required. A notice from landlord to tenant to quit possession of premises requires no stamp. A stamp' tax ie Imposed upon every "manifest for cuBtom-house entry or clear ance of the cargo of any ship, vessel, or steamer for a foreign port." The amount of this tax in each case depends upon the registered tonnage of the vessel. If a vessel clears in ballast and has no cargo whatever, no stamp iB necessary: but if she has any, however small the amount — a stamp should be used. A bond to convey real estate requires stamps to the amount of twenty-five cents. The stamp duty upon the probate of a will, or upon letters of administration, is based npon the sworn or declared value of all the estate and effects, real, personal, and mixed, undiminished by the debts of the estate for or iu respect of whiph such probate or letters are applied for. When the property belonging to the es tate of a person deceased, lies under dif ferent jurisdictions and it becomes neces sary to take out letters in two or more places, the letters should be stamped ac cording to the value of all the property, real, personal, and mixed, for or in respect of which the particular letters in each case ore issued. Letters de bonis non should be stamped according to the amount of property re maining to be administered upon thereun der, regardless of the stamps upon the orig inal letters. A mere copy of an instrument is 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 ofalease of two or more parts, each part has the same legal effect as the other, and each should be stamped as I an original.

' , 43 RULES FOR DETECTING COUNTERFEIT BANK NOTES. "1 Infallible Rules for Detecting Counterfeit or Spurious Bank Notes. Rulb 1st.— Examine the shading of the letters in title of Bank called lathewobk, which in genuine notes presents an even, straight, light and silky appearance, gen erally eo fine and smooth as to appear to be all in one solid, pale body. In the counter feit the lines are coarse and irregular, and in many of the longer lines breaks will be perceived, thus presenting a very inferior finish in comparison to genuine 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, produce an endless variety of figures ; see the one cent stamp attached. The fine line alone is the unit which enables you to detect spurious work. In the counterfeit, the represented white lines are coarse, irregular, and cross each other in a confused, irregular manner, thus producing blurred and imperfect figures. 3d,— Examine the form and features of all human figures on the note. In the gen uine, the texture of the skin is represented by fine dote and lines intermixed. In the eyes, the pupil is distinctly visible, and the white clearly seen; the nose, mouth and chin, well formed, natural and expressive ; the lips are slightly pouting, and the chin well thrown out ; and the delicate shading of the neck perfectly harmonizes with the rest of the figure. Observe the fingers and toes ; they should be clearly and accurately defined. The hair of the 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 bear mat soft and fini shed appearance as in the genuine. 4th. — Examine the imprint or engraver's names in the evenness and shape of the fine letters. Counterfeits never bear the imprint perfect. This rule should be strict ly observed, as It is infallible in detecting counterfeits. 6th.— In the genuine note the landscapes are well finished : trees and shrubs are neatly drawn ; the limbs well proportioned, and the foliage presenting a fine natural appearance ; clear sky is formed of fine parallel lines, and when 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 surrounding; country, iB always clear and distinct. The small figures in the background are always plainly seen, and their outlines 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 carefully the car most distant. In the counterfeit the landscape is usually poorly executed ; the leaves of trees poony and unnaturally defined.— The lines' representing still water are scratchy rather" than parallel, the sky is represented generally in like manner, and where rolling clouds are to be seen, the unnatural effect is obvious. Domestic animals are generally poorly executed, particularly the head and limbs ; the eyes are seldom clearly denned. Ships are poorly drawn, the texture of the canvass coarse and inferior in style of workman ship, thus giving an artificial appearance, Railroad cars are also poorly executed ; the car farthest from the eye is usually the most imperfect. The perspective Is always imperfect, the figures in the background can seldom be recognized. 6th.— Bills altered from 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 SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 43 too dark, but from the back or finish of the white lines you have a sure test. Again observe particularly the words " Five " or " Ten Dollars " as the case may be, denot ing the denomination of the note; the parallel outlines and shading (if any) are coarse and imperfect. Alterations are fre quently made by pasting a greater denomi nation over a smaller, but by holding the bill up to the light, the fraud will be per ceived. Another method resorted to is to cut out the figures in the dies as well as the words one dollar, or the words two or three as the case may be, and with a sharp eraser, scrape down the ends and also the edges of the pieces to be inserted ; when the pieces thus prepared are affixed they are. hardly perceivable; bnt 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 stiffness of the outer edges, " occasioned by the gum or method adopted" in affixing the parts. The letter S should always be examined, as in many alterations it is pasted or stamped at the end of the word " dollar;" and even when stamped there, the carrying out of the out lines for its shading will readily show the fraud. Bills of broken banks are frequent 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. General Remarks in Reference to Counterfeits.— The paper on which they are printed is generally of a very inferior quality, with less body, finish and tough ness than bank note paper has. The ink generally lacks the rich luster of the gen uine ; the red letters and figures are gen erally imperfec^ and the ink does not pre sent the vermilhon 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 examination 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. We beg to suggest, it time will admit, the learner should examine minutely every bill he receives. A pow erful pocket magnifying glass, which can be purchased for from fifty cents to one dol lar at any of the opticians, will greatly en able you to see ana comprehend' the differ ence between genuine and spurious work. HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. What will my readers give to know how to get rijCh ? Now, I will not vouch that the following rules will enable every per son who may read them to acquire wealth ; but this I will answer for, that, if ever a man does grow rich by honest means, and retains hiB wealth for any length of time, he must practice upon the principles laid down in the following essay. The re marks are not original with me, but I strongly commend mem to the attention of every young man, at least as affording the true secret of success in attaining wealth. A single perusal of such an essay at an impressible moment, has sometimes a very wonderful effect upon the disposi tion and character. Fortune, they say, is a fickle dame— full of her freaks and caprices ; who blindly distributes her favors without the slightest discrimination. So inconstant, so waver ing is she represented, that her most faith ful votaries can place no reliance on her promises. Disappointment, they tell us, is the lot of those who make offerings at her shrine. Now, all this is a vile slander upon the dear blind lady. Although wealth often appears the result of mere, accident, or a fortunate concur rence of favorable circumstances without any exertion of skill or foresight, yet any man of sound health and unimpaired mind may become wealthy, if he takeB the prop er steps. Foremost in the list of requisites are honesty and strict integrity in every trans action of life. Let a' man have the reputa tion of being fair and upright in his deal ings, and he will possess the confidence of aliwho knowhim. Without these qualities every other merit will prove unavailing. Ask concerning a man, " Is he active and capable?" Yes. "Industrious, temper ate and regular in his habits ? "—Oh yes. "Is he honest ? Is he trustworthy 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 will take an undue advantage, if he can. "Then I will have nothing to do with him," will be the in- 44 HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. variable reply. Why, then, is honesty the best policy f Because, withont it, you will get a bad name, and everybody will shun you. A, character for knavery will prove an in surmountable obstacle to success in al most every undertaking. It will be found that the 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 from 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 every other quality for success in the world. Punctuality, which is said to be the soul of business, is another important element in the art of money getting. The man known to be scrupulously exact in the ful fillment of his engagements, gains the confidence of all, and may command all the means he can use with advantage; whereas, a man careless and regardless of his promises in money matters will have every puree 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 by crediting, another by false representations; all of which a little more foresight and a little more dis trust would have prevented. ' In the af 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 they 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 under the influ ence of excitement, The passions have been compared to tortures which force men to reveal their secrets. Before trusting a man, before putting it in his power to cause you a loss, possess yourself of every available information relative to him. Learn his history, his habits, inclinations and propensities j his reputation for honor, industry, frugality and punctuality; his prospects, resources, supports, advantages and disadvantages ; his intentions and mo tives of action; who are his friends and enemies, and what are his good or bad qual ities. Ton may learn a man's good qualities and advantages from his friends— his bad qualities and disadvantages from his ene mies. Make due allowance for exaggeration in both. Finally, examine carefully before engaging in anything, and act with energy afterwards. Have the hundred eyes of Argns beforehand, and the hundred hands of Briarius afterwards. Order and system in the management of business must not be neglected. Nothing contributes more to dispatch. Have a place for everything and everything in its place; a time for everything, and every thing in its time. Do first what presses most, and having determined what is to be done, and how it is to be done, lose no time in doing it. Withont this method, all is hurry and confusion, little or nothing ia accomplished, and business is attended to with neither pleasure nor profit. A polite, affable deportment- is recom mended. Agreeable manners contribute powerfully to a man's success. Take two men, possessing equal 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 to consider a very important principle in the business of money-getting, namely— Industry— persevering, indefati gable attention to business. Persevering diligence is the Philosopher's stone, which turns 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 truly remarked that he who follows Mb amusements in stead of his business, will, in a short time; have no business to follow. The art of money-saving is an important part of the art of money-getting, without frugality no one can become rich ; with it, few would be poor. Those who consume as fast as they produce, are on the road to ruin. As most of the poverty we meet with growB ont of idleness and extrava gance, bo most large fortunes have been the result of habitual industry and frugali ty. The practice of economy is as neces sary in the expenditure of time as of money. They say if " we take care of the pence the pounds will 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 mhch 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 future advantages. Men fail of fortune in this world, as they fail of happiness in the world to come, simply because they are un willing to deny themselves momentary en joyments for the sake of permanent future happiness. Every large city is filled with persons, who, in order to support the appearance of wealth, constantly live beyond their in come, and make up the deficiency by contracting debts which are never paid. Others, there are, the mere drones of so- HOW TO SECURE TEE PUBLIC LANDS. 45 ciety, who pass their days in idleness, and subsist by pirating; on the hives of the in dustrious. Many who run a short-lived career of splendid beggary, could they be but persuaded to adopt a system of rigid economy for a few years, might paSB 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 extremity, as a last resort, they submit to a shameful dependence, or engage in crim inal practices which entail hopeless wretch edness and infamy on themselves and families. Stick to the business in which yon are regularly employed. Let speculators make thousands in a year or a day ; mind your own regular trade, never turning from it to the right hand or to the left. If you are a merchant, a professional man, or a me chanic, never buy lots or stocks, unless you have surplus money which you wish to invest. Your own business you under stand as well as other men ; but other peo ple's business you do not understand. Let your business be some one which is useful to the community. All such occu pations possess the elements of profit in themselves. How to Secure the Public Lands, OR THE ENTRY OF THE SAME UNDER THE PRE-EMPTION AND HOMESTEAD LAWS. The following circular gives all necessary information as to the procedure necessary in purchasing and securing the public lands : Department op the Interior, 1 Gen'l Land Office, July 19, 1865. f Numerous questions having arisen as -to the mode of procedure to purchase public lands, or acquire title to the same by bounty land locations, by pre-emptions or by home stead, this circular is 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 hi the United States is furnished by the Department, with the seats of the different offices, where it is the duty of the Register and Receiver to be in attendance, and give proper facilities and information to persons desirous of obtaining lands. The minimum price of ordinary public lands iB $1,25 per acre. The even or re served sections falling 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 free competition, may be entered or located. 2. By the applicant flTing with the Regis ter his written application describing the tract, with Its area ; the Register will then certify to the receiver whether the land is vacant, with its price ; and when found to be so, the applicant must pay that price per acre, or may locate the same with land warrant, and thereafter the Receiver will give him a " duplicate receipt," which he is required to surrender previous to the delivery to him of the patent, which may be had either by application for it to the Register or to the General Land Office. 3. If the tract has not been offered at public sale it is not liable to ordinary pri vate entry, but may be secured by a party legally qualified, upon his compliance with tne requirements of the- pre-emption laws of 4th September, 1841, and 3d March, 1843; and after such party shall have made ac tual settlement for such a length of time as will show he designs it for his perma nent home, and is acting in good faith, building a house and residing therein, he may proceed to the district land office, es tablish his pre-emption claim according to law, by proving bis actual residence and cultivation, and showing that he is other wise within the purview of these acts.— Then he can enter the land at $1,26, either in cash or with bounty .land warrant, unless the premises should be $2,50 acre lands. In that case the whole purchase-money con be paid in cash, or one-half in cash, the residue with a bounty land warrant. 4. But if parties legally qualified desire to obtain title under the Homestead Act of 20th May, 1862, they can do so on com- 46 LAW MAXIMS. plying with the Department Circular, dated 30th October, 1862. 6. The law confines Homestead entries to surveyed lands; and although, in cer tain States and Territories noted in the sub joined list, pre-emptors may go on land be fore survey, yet they can only establish their claim after return of survey, but must file their pre-emption declaration within three months after receipt of official plat, at the local land-office where the settlement was made before survey. Where, however, it was made after survey, the claimant must file within three months after date of set tlement; and where actual residence and cultivation have been long enough to show that the claimant has made the land his permanent home, he can establish his claim and pay for the same at any time before the date of the public sole of lands within the range in which his settlement may fall. 6. All unoffered surveyed lands not ac quired under pre-emption, homestead, or otherwise, under express legal sanction, must be offered at public sale under the President's Proclamation, and struck off to the highest bidder, as required by act of April 24, 1820. J. M. EDMUNDS, Commissioner General Land Office. LAW MAXIMS. 1. A promise of a debtor to give "satis factory security" for the payment of a por tion of his debt, is a sufficient considera tion for a release of the residue by Mb creditor. 2. Administrators are liable to, account for interest on funds in their honds, 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 thus 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 bound in subsequent dealing with his principal, as purchaser of the property that formed the subject of his agency, to communicate such information. 4. When a house is rendered untenanta ble in consequence of improvements made on the adjoining lot, the owner of such cannot recover damages, because it is pre sumed that he had knowledge of the ap proaching danger in time to protect him self from it. 5. When a merchant ship is abandoned by order of the master, for the purpose of savfi* life, and a part of the crew subse quently meet the vessel so abandoned and bring her safe into port, they will be enti tled to salvage. 6. A person who has been led to sell goods by means of false pretenses, cannot recover them from one who has purchased them in good faith from the fraudulent vendor. 1. An agreement by the holder of a note to give the principal debtor time for pay ment, without depriving himself of the right to sue, does not discharge the surety. 8. A seller of goods who accepts, at the time of Bale, the note of a third party, not endorsed by the buyer, in payment, can not In case the note is not paid, hold the buyer responsible for the value of the goods. 9. A day-book copied from a "blotter" in which charges are 'first made, will not be received in evidence as a book of origi nal entries. , 10. Common carriers are not liable for' extraordinary results of negligence that could not have 'been foreseen by ordinary skill and foresight. 11. A bidder at a Sheriff's sale may re tract his bid at any time before the prop erty is knocked down to him, whatever may be the conditions of the sale. 12. Acknowledgment of debt to a stran ger does not preclude the operation of the statute. 18. The fruits and grass on the farm or garden of an intestate descend to the heir. 14. Agents are solely liable to their prin cipals, IS. A deposit of money in bank by a hus band, in the name of his wife, survives to her. LAW MAXIMS. 47 16. Money paid on Sunday contracts may be recovered. 17. A debtor may give preference to one creditor over another, unless fraud or special legislation can be proved.^ 18. A court cannot give judgment for a larger sum than that specfeen in the ver dict. 19. Imbecility on the part of either husband or wife, invalidates the mar riage. 20. An action for malicious prosecution will lie, though nothing further was done than suing out warrants. 21. An agreement not to continue the practice of a profession or business in any specified town, if the party so agreeing has received a consideration for the same, is valid. 22. When A consigns goods to B to sell on commission, and B delivers them to C, in payment of his own antecedent debts, A can recover their value. 23. A finder of property is compelled to make diligent inquiry for the owner there of, and to restore the same. If, on finding such property, he attempts to conceal such fact, he may be prosecuted for larceny. 24. A private person may obtain an in junction to prevent a public mischief by which he is affected in common with others. 25. Any person interested may obtain an injunction to restrain the State or a munici pal corporation from maintaining a nuisance on its lands. 26. A discharge under the insolvent laws of one State will not- discharge the insol vent from a contract made with a citizen of another State. 27. To prosecute a party with any other motive than to bring him to justice, is malicious prosecution, and actionable as such. . 28. Ministers of the gospel, residing in any incorporated town, are not exempt from jury, military, or fire service. 29. When a person contracts to build a house, and is prevented by sickness from finishing it, he can recover for the part per formed, if such part is beneficial to the other party. 30. In a suit for enticing away a man's wife, actual proof of the marriage is not ne cessary. Cohabitation, reputation, and the admission of marriage by .the parties, are sufficient. ' 81. Permanent erections and fixtures, made by a mortgagor after the execution of the mortgage upon land conveyed by it, be come a part of the mortgaged premises. 32. When a marriage is denied, and plain tiff has given sufficient evidence to estab lish it, the defendant cannot examine the wife to disprove the marriage. 33. The amount of an express debt can not be enlarged by application. 84. Contracts for advertisements in Sun day newspapers cannot be enforced. 35. A seller of goods, chattels, or other Eroperty, commits no fraud, in law, when e neglects to tell the purchaser of any flaws, defects, or unsoundness in the same. 36. The opinionB of witnesses, as to the value of a dog that has been killed, are not admissible in evidence. The value of the animal is to be decided by the jury. 87. If any person puts a fence on or plows the land of another, he is liable for trespass whether the owner has sustained injury or not. 38. If a person, who iB nnable from ill ness to sign his will, has his hand guided in making his mark, the signature is valid. 39. When land trespassed upon is occu pied by a tenant, he alone can bring the action. 40. To say of a person, "If he does not come and make terms with me, I will make a bankrupt of him and ruin him," or j any such threatening language, is actionable, without proof or special damage. 41. In an action for slander, the party making the complaint must prove the words alleged: other words of like meaning will not suffice. 42. In a suit of damages for seduction. proof of pregnancy, and the. birth of a child, is not essential. It is sufficient if the ill ness of the girl, whereby she was unable to labor, was produced by shame for the seduc tion ; and this is such a loss of service as will sustain the action. 43. Addressing to a wife a letter contain ing matter defamatory to the character of her husband is a publication, and renders the writer amenable to damages. 44. A parent cannot sustain an action for any wrong doUe to a child, unless he has in curred some direct pecuniary injury there from in consequence of some loss'Of ser vice or expenses necessarily consequent thereupon. 45. A master is responsible for an injury resulting from the negligence of his ser vant, whilst driving his cart or carriage, provided the servant is at the time engaged in his master's business, even though the accident happens in a place to 'which his master's business does not call him ; but if the journey of a servant be solely for a pur pose of bis own, and undertaken without the knowledge and consent of his master, the latter is not responsible. 46. An emigrant depot is not a nuisance inlaw. 47. A railroad track through the streets is not a nuisance in law. 48 LAW MAXIMS. 46.. If an agreement upon which a party relies be oral only, it must be proved by evidence. But if the contract be reduced to writing, it proves itself: and now no evidence whatever is receivable for the Ft' mrpose of varying the contract or affecting ts obligations. The reasons are obvious. The law prefers written to oral evidence, from its greater precision and certainty, and because it is less open to fraud. And where parties have closed a negotiation and reduced the result to writing, it is pre sumed that they have written all they in tended to agree to, and therefore, that what is omitted was finally rejected by them. — [Parsons. 49. Delivery of a husband's goods by a wife to her adulterer, he having knowledge that Bhe has taken them without her hus band's authority, iB sufficient to sustain an indictment for larceny against the adul terer. 50. The fact that the insurer was not in formed of the existence of impending liti gation, affecting the premises insured, at the time the insurance was effected, does not vitiate the policy. 61. The liability of an innkeeper is not confined to personal baggage, but extends to all the property of the guest that he con sents to receive. 52. When a minor executes a contract, and pays money, or delivers property on the same, he cannot afterwards disaffirm such contract and recover the money, or prop erty, unless he restores to the other party the consideration received from him for such money or property. 63. When a person has, by legal inquisi tion been found an habitual drunkard, he cannot, even in his sober Intervals, make contracts to bind himself or hiB property, until the inquisition is removed. 54. Any person dealing with the repre sentative of a deceased person, is presumed, in law, to be fully apprized of the extent of such representative's authority to act In behalf of such estate. 55. In an action against a railroad com pany, by a passenger, to recover damages for injuries sustained on the road, it iB not compulsory upon the plaintiff to prove ac tual negligence in the defendants ; but it is obligatory on the part of the latter to prove that the injury was not owing to any fault or negligence of theirs. 56. A guest is a competent witness, in an action between himself and an inn-keeper,' to prove the character and value of lost personal baggage. Money in a trunk, not exceeding the amount reasonably required by the traveler to defray the expenses of the journey which he has undertaken, is a part of his baggage ; and in case of its loss, while at any inn, the plaintiff may prove its amount by his own testimony. 67. The deed of a minor is not absolutely void. The court is authorized to judge, from the instrument, whether it is void or not, according to its terms being favorable or unfavorable to the interests of the minor. 68. A married woman can neither sue nor be sued on any contract .made by her dur ing her marriage, except in an action relat ing to her individual property. The action must be commenced either by or againBt her husband. It is only when an action is brought on a contract made by her be fore her marriage, that she is to be joined as a co-plaintiff, or defendant, with her hus band. 59. Any contract made with a person Ju dicially declared a lunatic is void. 60. Money paid voluntarily in any trans action, with a knowledge of the facts, can not be recovered. 61. In all cases of special contract for ser vices, except in the case of a minor, the plaintiff can recover only the amount stip ulated in the contract. 62. A wife is a competent witness with her husband, to prove the contents of a lost trunk, or when a party. 63. A^wife cannot he convicted of receiv ing stolen goods when she received them of her husband. 64. Insurance against fire, by lightning or otherwise, does not cover loss by lightning when there is no combustion. 65. Failure to prove plea of justification, in a case of slander, aggravates the offence. 66. It is the agreement of the parties to sell by sample that constitutes a#ale by sample, not the mere exhibition of a speci men of the goods. ,, 67. An agent is liable to his principals for Iobs caused by his misstatements, tho' unintentional. 68. Makers' of promissory notes given in advance for premiums on policies of insur ance, thereafter to be taken, are liable there on. 69. An agreement to pay for procuring an appointment to office is void. 70. An attorney may plead the statute of limitations, when sued by a client for mon ey which he has collected and failed to pay over. 71. Testimony given by a deceased wit ness on first trial, is not required to be re peated verbatim on the second. 72. A person entitling himself to a reward offered for lost property, has a lien upon the property for the reward; but only when a definite reward is offered. 78. Confession by a prisoner must be vol untarily made, to constitute evidence against him. 74. The defendant in a, suit must be serv ed with process; but service of such pro cess upon his wife, even in his absence from the State, is mot, in the absence of statuto ry provisions, sufficient. LAW MAXIMS. 49 75. The measure of damages in trespass for cutting timber, is its value as a chattel on the land where it was felled, and not the market price of the lumber manufactured. ¦ 76. To support an indictment for mali cious mischief in killing an animal, mal ice towards its owner, must be shown, not merely passion excited against the animal itself. 77. No action can be maintained against a sheriff for omitting to account for money obtained upon an execution within a reas onable time. He has till the return day to render such account. 78. An interest in the profits of an enter prise, as. profits, renders the party hold ing it a partner in the enterprise, and makes him presumptively liable to share any loss. 79. Males can marry at fourteen, and fe males at twelve years of age. 80. All cattle foundatlarge upon any pub lic road, can be- driven by any person to the public pound. 81. Any dog chasing, barking, or other wise threatening a passer-by in any street, lane, road, or other public thoroughfare, may be lawfully killed for the same. 82. A written promise for the payment of such amount as may come into the hands of the promisor, is held to be an instru ment in writing for the payment of money. 83. the declaration of an agent is not ad missible to establish the fact of agency.— But when other proper evidence is given, tending to establish the fact of agency, it is not error to admit the declarations of the agent, accompanying acts, though tend ing to show the capacity in which he act ed! When evidence is competent in one respect and incompetent in another, it is the duty of the court to admit it, and con trol its effects by suitable instructions to the jury. 84. The court has a general power to re move or suspend an attorney for such im moral conduct as rendered him unworthy of confidence in his official capacity. 85. Bankruptcy is pleadable in bar to all actions and in aU courts, and this bar may be avoided whenever it is interposed, by showing fraud in the procurement of the discharge, or a violation of any of the pro visions of the bankrupt act. 86. An instrument in the form of a deed, but limited to take effect at the termination of the grantor's natural life, is held to be a deed, not a will. 87. A sale will not be set aside as fraud ulent,, simply because the buyer was at the time unable to make the payment agreed upon, and knew his inability, and did not intend to pay. 88. No man is under an obligation to make known his circumstances when he is buying goods. 89. Contracting parties ore bound to dis close material factB known to each, but of which either supposes the other to be igno rant, only when they stand in some special relation of trust and confidence in relation to the subject matter of the contract. But neither will be protected if he does any thing, however slight, to mislead or deceive the other. 90. A contract negotiated by mail is formed when notice of acceptance of the of fer is duly deposited in the post-office, pro perly addressed. This rule applies, although the party making the offer expressly re quires that if it is accepted, speedy notice of acceptance shall be given him. 91. The date of an instrument is so far a material part of it, that an alteration of the date by the holder after execution, makes the instrument void. 92. A corporation may maintain an action for libel, for words published of them and relating to its trade or business, by which it has incurred special damages. . J. It is unprofessional for a lawyer who has abandoned his case without trying it, a term or two before trial, to claim a fee conditional upon the success of his client, although his client was successful. 94. Although a party obtaining damages for injuries received through the default of another, waB himself guilty of negligence, Set that will not defeat his recovery, unless is negligence contributed to cause the in jury. 95. A person may contract to labor for an other during life, in consideration of receiv ing his support ; but his creditors have the right to inquire into the intention with which such arrangement is made, and it will be Bet aside if entered into to deprive them ofhiB future earnings. , 96. A grantor may by express terms ex clude the bed of a river, or a" highway, mentioned as boundary; but if without language of exclusion a line is described as ' along^. or ' upon,' or as ' running to ' the highway or river, or as ' by,' or ' running to the bank of the river; these expressions carry the grantee to the center of the high way or river. 97. The court will take plains to construe the words used in a deed in such a way as to effect the intention of the parties, how ever unskillfully the instrument may be drawn. But a court of law cannot exchange on intelligible word plainly employed in a deed for another, however evident it may be that the word used was used by mistake for another. 98. One who' has lost his memory and understanding is entitled' to legal protec tion, whether such loss is occasioned by his own misconduct or by an act of Provi dence. 50 LAW MAXIMS. 99. When a wife leaves her husband vol untarily, it must be shown, in order to make him liable for necessaries furnished to her, that she could not Bijiy with safety. Personal violence, either threatened or in flicted, will be sufficient cause for such sep aration. 100. Necessaries of dress furnished to a discarded wife must correspond with the pecuniary circumstances of the husband, and be Buch articles as the wife, if prudent, would expect, and the husband should furnish, if the parties lived harmoniously together. 101.A fugitive from justice from one of the United States to another, may be arrested and detained in order to his surrender by authority of the latter, without a previous demand for his surrender by the executive of the State whence he fled. 102. A watch will not pass under a be quest of "wearing apparel," nor of 1 household furniture and articles for fami ly use." 103. Money paid for the purpose of set tling or compounding a prosecution for a supposed felony, cannot be recovered back by a party paying it. 104. An innkeeper is liable for the death of an animal in his possession, but may free himself from liability by showing that the death was not occasioned by negligence on his part. 105. Notice to the agent of a company is notice to the company. 106. An employer is not liable to one of his employes for an Injury sustained by the latter in consequence of the neglect of oth ers of his employes engaged in the same general business. 107. Where a purchaser at a Sheriffs sale has bid the full price of property under the erroneous belief that the sale would di vest the property of all liens, it is the duty of the court to give relief by setting aside the Bale. 108. When notice of protest is properly sent by mail, it may be sent by the mail of the day of the dishonor; if not, it must be mailed for the mail of the next day; ex cept that if there is none, or it closes at an unseasonably early hour, then notice must be mailed in season for the next possible mail. 109. A powder-house located in a populonB part of a city, and containing large quanti ties of gunpowder, is a nuisance. 110. When the seller of goods accepts at the time of the sale, the note of a third per son, unindorsed by the purchaser, in pay ment, the presumption is that the pay ment was intended to be absolute ; and though the note should be dishonored, the purchaser will not be liable for the value of the goods. 111. A man charged with crime before a committing magistrate, but discharged on his own recognizance, is not privileged from arrest on civil process while returning from the magistrate's office. 112. When one has been induced to Bell goods by means of false pretences, he can not recover them from one who has bona fide purchased and obtained posaession of them from the fraudulent vendor. 118. If the circumstances attendant upon a sale and delivery of personal property are such as usually and naturally accompany such a transaction, it cannot be declared a legal fraud upon creditors. 114. A stamp impressed upon an Instrn ment by way of seal, is good as a seal, if it creates a durable impression in the texture of the paper. 115. If a party bound to make a payment use due diligence to make a tender, but through the payee's absence from home is unable to find nim or any agent authorized to take payment for him, no forfeiture will be incurred through his failure to make a tender.

DECIMAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 51 THE DECIMAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. As Autnorized Dy Act of Congress— Approve! Inly 28, 1866. . STANDARDS. In every system of Weights and Measures it is necessary to have what are called " Standards," as the pound, yard, gallon, &c, to be divided and multiplied into smaller and larger parts and denominations. The definition and construction of these Standards Involve philosophical and scien tific principles of a somewhat abstruse character, and are made and procured by the legislative department of the govern ment. The nominal Standards in the new system are the Meter, the Are, the Liter, and the Gram. The only real Standard, the one by which all the other standards are measured, and from which the system de rives its name of " Metric," is the Meter. THE METER Is used for all measures of length, distance, breadth, depth, heighth, &c, aid was in tended to be, and is very nearly, one ten- millionth of the distance oh' the earth's surface from the equator to the pole. It is about 39% inches, or 3 feet, 3 inches and 3 eighths, and is to be substituted for the yard. THE ARE Is a surface whose side is ten Meters, and is equal to 100 square Meters or about 4 square rods. THE LITER Is the unit for measuring solids and capa city, and is equal to the contents of a cube whose edge is one-tenth of a meter. It is about equal to 1 quart, and is a standard in cubic, dry and liquid measures. ^T" A cubic Meter (or Klloliter) is called a stere, and is also useaaB a standard In cer tain cubic measures. THE GRAM Is the Unit of weight, and is the weight of a cube of pure water, each edge of the cube being one one-hundredth of a Meter. It is about equal to 15>f grains. It is intended as the Standard in aU weights, and with its divisions and multiples, to supersede the use of what are now called Avoirdupois, Apothecaries and Troy Weights. Bach of the foregoing Standards is divi ded decimally, and larger units are also formed by multiples of 10, 100, &c. The successive subordinate parts are designa ted by the prefixes Deci, Centi and Milli ; the successive multiples by Deka, Hecto, Kilo and Myria ; each having its own nu merical signification as will tie more clear ly seen in the tables hereinafter given. The terma used may, at first sight, have a formidable appearance, seem difficult to pronounce, and to retain in memory, and to be, therefore, objectionable ; but with a lit tle attention and nse, the apprehended dif ficulty will be found more apparent than real, as has been abundantly proved by ex perience. The importance, also, of con formity in the use of commercial terms, on the part of the United States, with the practice of the many nations in which the system, with its present nomenclature, has already been adopted, must greatly over balance the comparatively slight objection alluded to. 52 DECIMAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Whenia person buys gnarttcle for $1:00— 30 per cent off, (or 'discount,) and sells it again for $1,00, he makes ayrofit of 25 per cent, on his investment. Thus : He pays 80 cents and sells for $1,00— a gain of 20' cents, or 25 per cent of 80 cents. And for any transaction where the sale or purchase of gold, silVer, or currency is concerned, the fouowing rule's will apply in all case's. ' Rule 1st.— To 'find premium when dis count is given: Multiply 100 by rate of discount and divide by 100, less rate of dis count. Rule 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, how mnch gold should he receive r In this case the pre mium is given, consequently we must find the discount on A's currency end subtract it from the $140, as per rule 2d, showing the discount to be a trifle more than 21 per cent, and that he should receive $110.60 in gold.5 pr ct.

In large cities nothing is more common than to see large business establishments, WrlchTseem to liave an Immense advantage over all competitors, by the wealth, expe rience, and prestige they have acquired, drop gradually out tit public View, arid be ! succeeded "by firms of a smaller capital,; rntire energy, Snd more determined to have the fact that they sell such -and such com- raofi^tids known from one end of the land to • the other. -In 'other words." the establish ments advertise ; the old die of dignity.— The former aire raVenoue to pass out Of ob scurity into publicity; the -latter believe that their publicity is so obVioiiB that it Cannot be'obpcured. The first understand that they must thrust themselves Upon public 'attention, 'or be disregarded; the second, having once obtained public -St'ten-ii! tion, suppose they have arrested it perma nently; while, In- fact, nothing is more char acteristic of the world than the ease with which it forgets. Stephen Girard, than whom bo shrewder business man ever lived, used to say : I * have always considered advertising liber- ' ally and long to be the great medium of success in business, and the prelude to; wealth.

Many have heard of the brilliant stncco whitewash on the east end of the Presi dent's house at Washington. The follow ing is a recipe for it ; it is gleaned' from the National Intelligencer, with some addi tional improvements learned by experi ments : Take, half a bushel of nice un- slacked lime, slock it with boiling water, cover it during the process to keep in the steam. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer, and add to it a peck of salt, previously well dissolved in warm wa ter ; three pounds' of ground rice, boiled to a thin paste, and stirred in bojling-hot ; half a pound of pow,dered Spanish yhlting, and a pound of fclean glue, which has bees pre viously dissolved by soaking it well, and then hanging it over a slow fire, in a Bmall kettle within a large one filled with water. Add five gallons of hot 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 u> a kettle on a portable furnace. It is said that about a pint Ot thiB mixture will cover a square J'ard upon the pqtsiae of a, house if proper-: y appjled, ' Brushes mojabrless, small may be u,sed according to, the neatness of the job required.

Tne 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 drachm* of spirit*, 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 ) thirty-eight grains; and muriate of am monia (sal ammoniac) thirty-eight grains. Dissolve these salts in the water prior to mixing with the camphorated spirit ; then shake the whole well , together. Cork the bottle well, and wax the top, but; after wards make a very small 'aperture in the corkvjrlth a red-hot needle. The bottle may then be' hung up, or placed in any statipna- ry position? By observing the different appearances which the materials assume; as the weather changes, it becomes an ex cellent prognosticator of a coming storm or of a sunny sky. Leech Barometer. Take an eight ounce phial, and pnt in it three gills of water, and place m it a healthy leech, changing the water in Bummer once a week, and in winter once in a fortnight, and it will most accurately prognosticate the weather. If the weather is to be fine, the leech lies motionless at the bottom of the glass and- coiled together in a spiral form ; If rain may he. expected, it wiU creep up to the top of its lodgings and remain there till the weather is settled; if we are to have wind, it will move through its habi tation with amazing swiftness, and seldom goes to rest till It begins to Mflw. hard ; if a remarkable Btorm or thunder and rain is to succeed, it will lodge tor some days before slmqst cpntinuanj out pf the W*ter, and discover great uneasiness in violent throes and eanvujs^«-Uke motions : In frost as in clear BummerrUke weather it, lies constantly a.t>he"bpHqm; >hd in. snow a? m rainy weather it plicW ftsdwejjing »» ffi« Tery mouth of the phial?

How to Judge a Horse. , A correspondent, contrary to old maxims, undertakes to judge the character of a horse by outward appearances, and offers the fol lowing suggestions, the result of his close observation and long experience: If the color be light sorren, or chestnut, his feet, legs and face white, these are marks of kindness. If he is broad and full between the eyes, he may be depended on as a horse of good sense, and capable of be ing trained to anything. As respects such horses, the more kindly you treat them the better you wiU be treat ed in return. Nor wiU 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 may he so far gentle as not to scare ; but he' wiU hove too much go- ahead in him to be safe with everybody. Ifyou!wantafool, but a horse of great bottom, get a deep T>ay, with not a white hair about him. If his face 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. Measurement of Hay In the Mow 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, iB that a cube, each side of which shall measure eight feet, ot solid Timothy hay, as taken from mow or bottom of stack will weigh a ton. The rule may be varied for upper part of mow or stack according to pressure. 60 TWENTY. YBAR CALENDAR. A,linanae or Oalemdar far SO Years.

With the exception ¦ of a small tract on the south-east, in the Minisink Patent, the whole County is covered by the Hardenburgh Patent, under which there were formerly some extensive landholders; the lands, were chiefly held by the tenants in fee, some small por tions having been held on long leases ; but the feudal systems Which men obtained, have gradually given way to *the more enlightened usages which now prevail and which stimulate the husbandmen to industry and frugality, and an intelligent dis charge of the duties devolving- upon them as. citizens of a Re public. The surface is generally very hilly and some portions of it is mountainous, especially along the east border. Upon the, south-east lies the Shawangunk* Mountain, having its eastern foot washed by the kill which bears its name, and its western by Basha's Kill. This ridge,, whose width is about two miles, has a gentle ascent from the east and sinks precipitously on the west. Ther eastern side admits of profitable euHsvation, while the western is rugged and broken. In. the south and west it consists chiefly oi" ridges separated by narrow ravines; but in the middle and north, assumes more the eharaieter ol a rolling plateau, which rises, into a ridge of semi-circular form, extending easterly across the towns of Liberty and Neversink, and divides the waters which flow into, tha Delaware and Hudson rivers. From this elevated portion, numerous ridges extend toward the Delaware, giving the County a general southerly inclination ; but this, however, remains strikingly conspicuous. This feature, which gives the surface a rolling appearance, is doubtless due to the action of the streams which,, in their course, have cut the whole country into ridges, deepen? ing the valleys as they approach their recipients.

Delaware, which extends about fifty miles within the limits of , the County, forming its western and a portion of its southern boundary, cuts these ridges diagonally, its valley forming the only division between the Oatskills (of which the highlands in this County may be considered the southern slope,) and the mountains of Eastern Pennsylvania. Walnut Hill, in Liberty, the highest peak in the County, has an elevation of 2,J30 feet. The lowest summit of the Shawangunk Mountain, between Bloomingburgh and Wurtsboro, is 1,271 feet above tide, and the highest summit is about 500 feet higher. This range of mountains, when viewed at a distance, presents a st? iking uni: formityof outline, which is due to the evenness of stratification of the rock composing it. The lowest point in the County is upon the Delaware, at the mouth of the Mongaup, which has an elevation of 550 feet above tide. The County line on the Rondout is elevated 773 feet. With the exception of a small district on its east border, through which .flow the upper waters of Shawangunk Kill and Laokawack Creek, this County is drained by the Delaware and its branches, the principal of which are Neversink* and Mon- gaupf rivers, Beaver and Basha'st kills, and Callicoon (Oaw-li- coon) and Ten Mile creeks. The Neversink flows entirely across the Coflnty, into and through Orange County; having for its tributaries Basha's Kill, Wynkoop Brook, Bush Kill, Cherry Meadow Brook and several minor streams. •On Santhler's Hap or the Province of New York in 1779 it is named Mahackamack, or Neversink, the former heing the Indian name. Says Eager, in his history of Orange County, 1846—7, " the present name is considered to be expressive of the Indian idea which implies 'a continual running stream,' which never sinks into the ground, so as to be dry in places. So far as we are Informed by those acquainted with the river, no part of it ever Becomes dry.. The name is also said to refer to the rapidity of the stream, in which things never sink, but are carried along with the current. We think this fanciful guess work, and a mere explanation by two English words which happen to correspond in sound with what had always been rapposed to be Indian. Doubtless the river was known to the Indiana by its present name, before they ever heard a pale face speak English." tOn Sauthier's Hap of the Province of New York in 1779 it is named Mangawping, or , Mlngwing. The word is Indian and is spelt In the old records " Hongaapa." It signi fies " Dancing feather." The latter name (Mingwlng) signifies '» plurality of streams," and doubtless referred to the headwaters, or east, west and middle branches. JThis stream received its name from a squaw named Bashes, who resided near West- brookville.— Eager' e Hist. Orange Co., p. 892. J. V. Horrison, as appears in his writ ings, inclines to the opinion that the tradition to which some authors ascribe the origin of this name, if there be any truth in it, applies to Pine Kill, since, he says : " In the first map of the country, when this valley [Mamakating] was the frontier, I find a stream of that name laid ont at Westhrookville, coming down from a westerly course, evidently what is now known as Pine Kill. The Bashas Kill heads up north of Wurtsboro and is not recognized by that name on the map at all. Its present name was given it by Manuel ' Gunsaulue, the first white settler in Sullivan, and named after his daughter Elizabeth who woe invariably called Bessie," pronounced by early settlers as If written Bossy, or Bassht. " Major Hasten recollects well in his boyhood, when the kill was called Bessy's Kill, and was always informed by the early settlers, who knew the true origin of the • name, that snch was the fact.'' On Sou thier'i Hap of 1779 we find a stream located as Is Pine Kill, which is named " Baskers Kill." SULLIVAN COUNTY. 63 The Mongaup is a beautiful stream, eighty feet in width, and furnishes considerable hydraulic power. It has three branches, the East, West and 'Middle, each of which takes. the name of the main stream and rises in the town of Liberty. It flows almost directly south, having a length of thirty miles. The streams flowing north are the WUlowemoc and Little Beaver creeks, tributaries to Beaver Kill, which runs near to and parallel with the north-west boundary. Most of these streams are rapid, and afford at numerous points a great amount of water power. In the valleys and forests in the County are numerous small lakes, which form peculiar and often picturesque and highly beautiful features in its scenery. Most of these ponds and streams abound in fish, prominent among which are pike and pickerel. Perch, eels, sunfish and black bass are being introduced. Formerly an abundance of trout rewarded the skill of the lovers of piscatorial sports, but now none are found in the lakes. Lords, Mastens, Yankee, and Sheldrake poads have been dammed below their outlets, and are used as feeders ' for the Delaware and Hudson Canal. McKee's Pond is being dammed for the same purpose; and perhaps the waters in a few others have been, or are beings similarly economized, as improvements in this respect are being continually made. The various towns in which the ponds employed as feeders are located, derive a pecuniary benefit by way of taxes. *¦ The geological formation of the County is exceedingly simple. The whole surface istoderlaid by red sandstone of the Catskill Group and the Shawangunk Conglomerate. These rocks extend southward into Pennsylvania, and form the floor of the coal measures. Of these rocks the latter possesses an economical value for millstones, building stones, and the manufacture of glass. Esopus millstones, formerly in high repute, were made from the Shawangunk grit. The Shawangunk consists chiefly, if not wholly, of the transition mill stone grit; west of this, in the town of Mamakating and along the Delaware and Hudson Canal, is a broad vein of secondary limestone, bounded on the north-west by carboniferous slate, covering the center of, the County, wliich has on the north-west an extensive formation of quartzose rock, containing a secondary mill stone grit and rubble. From the writings of J. V. Morrison we extract the follow ing allusion to the geological formation of this County: "Shot Prints of'the Mood. — That this county has oncebeen under water is evident from the marine formation of its rocks, and from the broken pieces found detached from their parent beds and scattered over the country. 64 SULLIVAN OOUMTYi "That a.migfolysurgingcurjjent once, sweet fprestsi rooks and hUls, with long protracted swell and irresjstible.force, over the tops of qui mountains, 'andlanded tb^m in it^s north-east, course,, in our valleys, is. evident to. every close observer.. When this mighty wave traveled on^ on, in its earthquake march, it was made the outlet to a mighty sea within the vallied west, • when the foundations of the great deep were broken up.* *< As the waters subsided,, or found a spuljiiern or south-eastern outlet, Walnut mountain arose, above, the wreck like another Ararat. "Go to McLaughry's[*Wthere is a twenty-ton boulder brought from a long distance, and so nicely balanced that a child can set it in motion. " Go to Bridgeville — took at the scattered masses of rooks on the hills, whose parent bed isjfar off. Go mark the grooves, in the ' ojd poor house rocks.

Why is it that the west sides of our hills are so different from the east ? Why is it that in many plapes you can, tell exactly where boulders came fijom ? Why are U»ey jagged, and woi>n off ? Why so much sediment in our valleys? Why so m,any sand hills in various places? ' ' To these questions there can be but one answer : A great body of water from the westward once swept over our country, carrying everything, except the eternal hills, before it, breaking the rooks, and scattering them as it carried them along, striking them against the, sandstone and plowing the deep furrows, grooves and indentations we now see, and causing the great, masses of sediment in the Mamakating valley." The soil is mostly a reddish loam, mixed with gravel, and is generally stony,; in the south-east portion is found some clay. Grass is the staple production, and the hilly character of most of the country seems to adapt it to grazing rather than to tillage. The facility with, which the products elf the dairy can now reach the great markets,; by means of the N. Y. & E. R. E. and its connections, hag within a few years given, "an impe tus to the prosperity of the County ; while the erection of tanneries, which the same thoroughfare has encouraged, has created a home market of great advantage to the farmer. In 1855 there were in the County about forty tanneries, producing over $2>000,000 worth pf leather annually and employing about 750 laborers; but the tanning business began to. be of impor tance about twenty years prior to that date. In 1865 the census report shows an increase of one in the number of tanneries, while the annual product in the same year, in the thirty-five establishments, reported, had increased to $3,157,376. The number of persons employed in thirty-eight of the estab lishments reported was 665, and the amount of capital invested in thirty-seven of the establishments reported was $935,500. The magnitude of this branch of industry in this County then surpassed that of any other in the State ; for while, the number of establishments, in' Erie County was forty-three, the annual *The hqwWi«r referred to is or thejmn of Joseph H. McLaury, for further mention of which, see history of the town of Thompson. SULLWAN, COVNTY. 05 \ product of manufactures in that County was valued at only $1,838,568, in the thirty-seven -establishments •repdrted ; and in \ Ulster County, which most nearly approximates this in the , value of its annual product, the value of tne product of its j twenty4wo tanneries, all of which were reported, was $2,538,406, ' or $624,970 less than this County. At present, however, there are only about tWehty-four tanneries in operation in the County; and as the supply of bark in the vicinity of the tan neries 'becomes exhausted, the business declines. Those now in opetatidn must eventually succumb to this influence. - The labor whidhis Released by this decline in the tanning "business -{ is diverted to some extent^to the lumbering business, which ' employs large amounts of capital and labor, but mainly to ,| agricultural pursuits. Winter wheat, formerly considered a ¦ sure and abundant crop, is found to yield smaller returns and with less certainty as the country becomes older. Its culture is now practically discontinued. In 1864 , the quantity harvested had dwindled down to 1,987 bushels. , Other crops, less valua ble but more certain, have been substituted to a great extent. The surplus wheat of this County was formerly transported by i land to the Hudson, where it found a profitable market; but, with the increase of manufaetories there is now less raised than is consumed in the County. Those .parts of the County adapted only to the culture of coarse grains, ¦are utilized by theinhabit- ants engaged1 in agriculture, in maintaining quite expensive; dairies, and breeding stock, which branches qf industry indeed form the principal occupation of the people. Butter making has become an important business. Grass seed of a fine quality is raised in considerable quantities. The fruits are limited to apples, pears, plums, cherries, currants and a few peaches. Wild berries grow in great abundance. The timber along the Delaware Valley is mostly hemlock, pine, oak and chestnut; and on the highlands it is hemlock, beech, birch, maple, ash and basswood. The country along the Delaware is not favora ble to agriculture; generally, for cultivation, the highlands,. being n^pre dry and productive of finer, grass, are .preferred to the valleys, which are commonly wet and cold. Upon the Delaware and the streams which flow into it, the inhabitants are chiefly engaged jn the lumber business, which seeks a mar ket by the river. The climate is cool and bracing, and the County is remarkably healthy. The ''Sullivan County Society for promoting Agriculture and Domestic Manufactures" ¦ was organized in 1819, and annual fairs were held until the war of the Bebellion, when they werei discbntmued, and since which time none have been 66 SULLIVAN COUNTY. held,,, The Society never owned any grounds; the fairs being usually held in the Public Square in the village of Monticello. The Sullivan County Bible Society was organized' about 1826. The oldest records of the Society that can be found, give, an account of an annual meeting in 1829, at which time the officers of the Society were : Jubal Terbell, president; J. P. Jones, treasurer; and A. C. Niven, recording secretary. The Society has at present a more perfect organization, and is more prosper ous than at any time since its origin. The present officers are: Wynkoop Kiersted, of Mongaup, president; Hon. A. 0. Niven', of Monticello, treasurer; and Hollister, of Bethel, secretary. The County Seat is located at Monticello, in the town of Thompson. By the act of incorporation the Governor and Council were to appoint three commissioners to locate the ' County Seatj and the Board of Supervisors three others, to superintend the erection of the court house and jail. Wm. Boss, Joseph Morrell and Abraham H. Schenck were appointed , for the former purpose, and David Hammond, John Lindsley, Malachi West, John Newkirk and Darius Martin, successively, for the latter. The County buildings, consisting of a substan tial stone edifice, comprising court house and' jail, which was erected in 1844 in place of the original County buildings, and a one-story brick building for the Clerk's office, are very pleas antly located in the Park. The first buildings, erected in accordance with an act passed March 22, 1811, were burned January 13, J.844. The first Court was held, and the first Board of Supervisors organized, at the house of Curtis Linsley. The County Officers first appointed were Wm. A. Thompson, First Judge; Samuel P. Jones and Elnathan* Sears, Associate Judges; John Conklin, Jabez Wakeman and David Hammond, Assistant Judges; James S. Dunning, Surrogate; Uriah' Lockwood, Sheriff ; and John P. Jones, Clerk. The Justices for the different towns were : — Liberty, David Martin ; Thompson, Enoch Comstock, (who was the only surveyor among the original officers of this County,) Francis Andrews and Comfort Castle ; Lnmberland, Paul Horton, Elijah Hickok and Jonathan Dexter; Neversink, Jeremiah Gale and David Elmore ; Mam akating, Henry Patmore, Samuel Smith, Eobert Crawford and Henry Newkirk. The Board of Supervisors consisted of David Miftiken of Mamakating; John P- Jones of Thompson ; John Conklin of Lnmberland; Wm. Parks of Neversink ; and Darius Martin of Liberty. David Milliken was appointed * J. V. Morrison gives the name of Elijah Sears. SULLIVAN COUNTY. 67 chairman ; Livingston Billings, clerk ; and Wm. Brown, county treasurer. ' The County Poor House Which, until 1860, was located about three miles east of Monticello, was burned on the 19th of Mar. in that year. In 1859 the Board of Supervisors proposed to sell it and the farm with which it was connected. The farm of Coe Durland, near Thompsonville, was subsequently purchased by the County for the sum of $3,20C|, and $2,500 was appro priated for an additional building. The house was subsequently enlarged. The accommodations afforded the inmates are good. From the report of the Superintendent of the Poor for 1871, we extract the following statistics: the amount, expended for the support of the poor was $11,001.46 ; the whole number, of paupers who received permanent relief in the house was 120 ; .the greatest number present at any one time was 76 ; the1 whole number of weeks' board furnished was 3,588 ; and the average expense per week was $1.25. The value of the stock and produce on the farm was $1,550.90. An in sane asylum has been built, and on the 17th of November, 1871, an assessment of $1,000 was made by the Board of Supervisors for the erection of a building for the chronic pauper insane. The principal works Of internal improvement within the limits of the County are the Delaware & Hudson Canal, the N. Y. & E. B. E., the Monticello & Port Jervis E. E. and the N. Y. & O. Midland E. E. The Delaware and Hudson Canal extends through a portion of the south and east parts of the County, (or the towns of Highland, Lumberland and Mamakating.) The Company was incorporated April 23, 1823. The work was com menced in July, 1825, and completed in Oct. 1828. The length of the Canal from Eondout to Port Jervis is 59 miles ; and from Port Jervis, up the Delaware to the month of the Lackawaxen, at which place it crosses the river, 24 miles. From Lackawaxen it extends 26 miles further to Honesdale, Penn. Its highest summit between the Hudson and Delaware rivers is 585 feet above tide. Its descent to the Delaware is 80 feet; its rise along the Delaware is 148 feet; and its rise between the Delaware and Honesdale is 187 feet. The Canal was originally constructed to afford four feet depth of water, and to accommodate boats of 30 tons. In Sept. 1842, a plan1 of enlargement was, adopted, and five feet depth of water was obtained, accommodating boats of 40 tons. In 1851 a further enlargement was completed, obtaining six feet depth of water and accommodating boats of 120 tons. It was of great importance to the early settlers of the County, as it opened an easy and 88 BXTLLTVAV COUNTY. cheap avenue to market, and brought them in direct communication with the Hudson at Eondout and theooal mines at Carbondale, Penn. The XT. Y.dk&R. R„ built along the valley of the Delaware, enters the County hear the center of /the west border of the town of Tusten, crossing the Delaware Error from Pennsylvania. The act authorizing the road, was passed April 24, 1832, and the Company organized in July 1833. The first preliminary survey was made in 1832, by DeWitt Clinton Jr., by order of 'the 'Govermmenit. In 1834 the Governor appointed Benj. Wright to aurvey the route; who, assisted by James Seymour and Chas. Ellett, began the survey, May 23d, and fin ished it the same year. In 1835 the Company was re-organized, and 40 miles were put under contract. Various financial embarrassments, necessitating State aid and increased private subscriptions, and involving the relinquishment by the original stockholders of one-half the amount of st6ck held by them, confronted this gigantic enterprise and retarded its accomplish ment, so that its final completion to Dunkirk was not .effected until 1851. The rbad was opened to ©uihkirk, May 14th of that year. Finding it difficult to construct the road on the- New York side of the river, the Company solicited the right of way for a short distance from Pennsylvania, and for this privHege, and the substantial benefit which the road conferred upon that State, the Company was subjected to an annual tax of $10,000. This road opens a direct and speedy communication with New York city, and has oeen of great value to the County in stimu lating its settlement and developing its resources.

In May, 1856, he moved his office to Monticello and issued, his first paper there on the 16th of that month. On the 30th of the same month the name was changed to the Sullivan County Republican, and in the following Nov. the Union Democrat was united with it, and the name changed to The Union Democrat and Sullivan County Republican, the first paper under that name being issued Nov. 21st. Jan. 2, 1857, Mr. Waller again changed the name to Sullivan County Democratic Republican.' In Jan., I860, its name was again changed to THE SULLIVAN COUNTY REPUBLICAN, under which name it is still published by Mr. Waller, at Monticello.* The Sullivan J Volksblatt (German) was started , at Jeffer sonville, Sept. 6, 1870, by Childs & Boybe, with Charles Schwarz as editor. It was published semi-monthly, and was discontinued after thirteen numbers were issued. • The Callicoon Local Record (weekly) was started at Youngs- ville, May 15, 1868, by W'. T. Morgans^ A. P. Childs became partner, July 20th of the same year, when the business was conducted under the firm name of Morgans & Childs. The paper was enlarged and its name changed to Local Record, ', August 13. It was again enlarged, and removed to Jefferson ville, and its name again changed to THE -LOCAL RECORD, April 8, 1870; and on the 18th of the same month and year, D. J. Boyce purchased Mr. MorgansV interest; and on the $d of October following, he also purchased Mr. Childs' interest and became the sole proprietor.! July 8, 1871, the paper again came into the hands of Mr* Childs, as its sole proprietor, and isat present published by him. The Bloomingburgh Journal was published at Bloomingburgh, i in the summer of 1870, by Leander Scott, for seven months. It next appeared in Newburgh, bearing the title, " Whatever isi is Right." It was shortly afterward published, in Boston as " The Golden Rule." It is since reported as having died a natural death. The Monticello Semi- Weekly Advertiser was started in 1871, by A. Yates & Co., and closed its career, October 31, 1871, with its thirty-sixth number. February j until he a party of nearly a hundred Tories and Indians, under Brant, invaded the settlements on the east border, first falling upon the family of Mr. Westfall and killing one man. They next attacked the house of Mr. Swartwout, who was at home with his sons, (the women having been previously removed to a fort,) and killed all but one, who escaped. The firing alarmed, others, who fled to the forts at Gumaer's and De Witt's, Where, by a skillful display o'f force by Capt. Abraham Cuddeback, who commanded at thefofmer, the enemy were deterred from making an attack.* After firing most of the houses and barns of the settlement, the , marauders retired, leaving behind them a melancholy scene of havoc and desolation, at the verge of an inclement winter. The distress thus occasioned was very great. Major Phillips arrived soon after the incursion, with a company of militia; but the enemy had fled beyond reach. In 1778, Capt. Benj. Kortrite, with his company of militia, went in pursuit of some Indians who had been committing depredations upon the settlements of Pine Bush. Tile houses of three families named Shurker, Miller and Baker, had been burned, and the dead bodies of Shurker and Miller were found near the ruin?. Baker was never afterwards seen by his friends. The women and children of the three families were spared. The Indians had fled when Kortrite arrived; he pursued them until his provisions gave out, when he returned. When it was learned at the Fort on Honk Hill, where were stationed some three- hundred troops, that Kortrite had returned without having accomplished anything, Lieut. John Graeme, an officer noted for reckless daring, volunteered to pursue and waylay the enemy with only eighteen men. He was offered a greater force, but refused to accept it. His men were raw recruits, who knew nothing about Indian warfare, and the result proved that •As there were but few men in Fort Gumaer, Capt. Cuddeback, in order to deceive the enemy, paraded all the women and yonug people back of the honee and Port, col- . lected all toe hats and coats about the house, ana put them on tfie women. He also' placed sticks and spare guns in their bands, so that all might appear to be soldiers. When the enemy came in sight of the Port, the Capt ordered the drum to be beat, and marched them in Indian file from the rear to the front of the Port, and entered it in a distant but distinct view of the Indians. The women and children were ordered intd ¦';' the cellar. Anna Swartwout (a large woman, somewhat in years, the widow of Major James Swartwout,) told the Captain that she wodld take a pitch fork, which had been ; brought into the Port as a defensive weapon, and remain with the men, and assist in case ¦ , the enemy should attempt to enter. The Captain granted the request, and she took the'*; fork, and In true military bearing, walked about, anxiously observing the conduct of the Indians, and ready to defend her castle.— {Eager' t Orange County, p. 388. All who were caught ont of the blockhouses were murdered. They were pursued through fields and woods, and shot or tomahawked. A young man named Swartwout attempted to escape by swimming the Neversink. Just as he gained the opposite shore, he was shot. Three of his brothers and his father were killed.— {James E.

A storm of rain, accompanied by a dense mist or fog, aided them in their enterprise, enabling them to surround the cabin in which he was. the solitary occupant, and before he was aware of the presence of his enemies, he was in their power. As resistance was useless, Tom submitted, and was speedily bound. When they had secured him, the joy of the red men was unbounded. As it was near night and was raining when the capture was made,' the Indians concluded to defer their * homeward journey until morning. Tom's, skins and other articles were prepared for transportation ; but his favorite rifle, which was in a dark corner in the garret, escaped their notice,, Among other things which pleased them, the Indians found a small keg of "fire water" — a liquid which Tom seldom used, but generally had in his possession. They drank of it freely, and its effects soon became visible. They were variously affected by it, and those who seemed to become more shrewd and intel ligent, saw that, unless Tom was placed beyond the reach of their ill-natured brethren, he would probably fall a victim to their increasing moroseness ere morning ; and next to taking his life, they desired the whole tribe to participate in torturing him. 'They were not disposed, however, to take the exclusive charge pf him, for they desired to have " a night of it " too. As none of them wished the approachirig carousal checked in any manner, a proposition to bind their prisoner with additional thongs and secure him to a rafter in the garret, was heartily approved by all and was speedily carried into effect. During the progress of the carousal,' Tom overheard an animated dis cussion between the savages as to whether it was best to take his scalp at once or reserve him for the torture. He remained in an agony of suspense, revolving in his mind the probabilities of making his escape; but so desperate was his situation that escape seemed almost hopeless, and he even meditated suicide to cheat his captors of the pleasure they anticipated in his tor ture and death, but he was too securely tied even to commit self-murder, and soon abandoned the idea. About midnight, however, the savages became less boisterous, and soon relapsed into a state of quiet. So far as Tom could judge, all Were either asleep or too much intoxicated to. harm him. Ere long he im agined he heard the sound of a foot on the floor, and presently some one seemed to be ascending the ladder which led to the garret. A moment afterwards the head of a drunken savage appeared above the floor of the apartment in which Tom was Confjned. In one hand the savage held a brand of fire and in the other a formidable-looking knife. He approaehed with unsteady feet, and stood before his intended victim, with fea tures distorted and brutal from the effects of rum, and with SULLIVAN COUNTY.- 95 eyes gleaming, glittering, 'and snakish. His body swaying to and fro, he regarded Tom a morrient, and then murmuring, "Revenge is sweet! my knife shall drink the blood of the panther which has slain my kindred !" he prepared to strike, Instinctively Tom fell flat upon his face, and the knife which was inteflded for his heart passed harmlessly over him. The , drunken savage, having missed his mark, was unable to pre- •serve his balance, and fell headlong over the prostrate body of Tom. He struck his head heavily against the log wall of the garret, and fell stupid, stunned and senseless upon the floor. Tom disengaged himself from the fallen Indian, who was now powerless to harm him, and regained his former position. Suddenly the idea occurred to him that if he could get possession of the Indian's knife he might be able to cut himself loose, and having waited sufficiently long to ascertain that the fall of the Indian did not awaken those below, he threw himself upon the floor again, and moved over it like a worm, in the direction of the Indian ; but the thong which was tied to his neck was not long enough to enable him to reach it. While crawling back to regain his erect position, his foot came in contact with something which felt colder than the rubbish on the floor, and which a search revealed to be the knife he sought. He managed to get the handle of the knife between his teeth, and soon freed his ankles and cut the strip of hide which bound him to the rafter. He then thrust the handle of the knife in a crevice in the side of the cabin, so that the blade pointed firm ly outward. Then, by turning his back, (for his- hands were tied behind him,) he contrived to cut the remaining fastenings. Once free, he got possession'of his rifle, and having removed some of the bark with which the cabin was covered, jumped from the garret, and reached the settlements " of Minisink entirely destitute. At this time Tom was considerably advanced in years and felt the infirmities' of old age fast growing upon him. This compelled him to relinquish, in a measure, his former habits, and occupy himself principally with his traps. He generally lived With a man named James Rosekrantz, about three miles below Carpenter's Point, where he was kindly treated and every comfort he could desire furnished him. He was regarded by those Who knew his history with a deferential awe, and was spoken of by his admirers with as much enthusiasm as was Bonaparte by the soldiers of the French empire. He is described as being six feet in height ; raw-boned ; with high cheek bones ; bright and restless gray eyes ; and his hair, before it was silvered by age, Was a dark brown. He talked but little— in- fact was taciturn and very quiet in his demeanor. 96 SULLIVAN COUNTY. His features were grave and dignified, and seldom relaxed into a smile. In summer, until his last sickness, he was in the habit of making occasional visits to the scenes of his adven tures. When solicited to do so, he would generally relate in a modest way, the particulars in regard to the murders he had committed openly; but could seldom be induced to talk of those committed when no witnesses were present. As his in firmities increased upon him, he found a roof necessary, even* in summer, to protect him from the night air during his hunting expeditions. ' Consequently he resorted to some house or cabin in the vicinity of his traps. His headquarters in summer were generally at the house of Showers, near Mongaup Island, or at a hut near Hagen Pond. Those who knew Tom in his latter days say that he carried his favorite rifle until the stock where it rested on his shoulder was worn through, so that the ramrod was visible at the place. His accoutrements were all equally time-worn, and his dogs were in keeping with him. Outlawed by his own government—alone he waged an unrelenting warfare against the race, which had incurred his hatred, and maintained the unequal contest during his whole life, foiling his enemy at every point, and eluding each artifice to ensnare him, until he finally succeeded in rendering the safety of an Indian in his locality so precarious that they abandoned it altogether and left him in. undisputed possession of their former hunting grounds. Tom died of old age at the house of Rosekrantz in 1795 or 1796, regretting to the last that he had not shot more Indians.4' The only murders in the County, of which the law has taken cognizance, and the circumstances originating them, are the following : Cornelius W. Bjardenburgh's wife, of Rockland, in connection with other relatives, inherited property in Falls burgh. Anthony Hasbrouck, a prominent and wealthy citizen of Fallsburgh, purchased the entire interest of the other heirs, but could not make satisfactory terms with Hardenburgh and his wife. A quarrel and law suit ensued, and Hardenburgh, fearing his wife's interest would be consumed by the expenses of the suit, and having become greatly enraged "at Hasbrouck, concluded it to be his duty to remove him from the earth. He went to Hasbrouck's house on Sunday evening, Dec. 20, 1840, armed With a rifle, pistol and knife, and, after some convert sation about the matter in dispute, attempted toshoot Has brouck, with the rifle ; but Hasbrouck sprung and turned aside •The story, is prevalent that Tom died of the small pox, and as soon as his enemies learned of his death they exhumed his body, cut it' Into small pieces, and sent the pieces to all the, Indian villages far and near, to be burnt after he was dead, as they had not the pleasure of doing.it prior to, that event. By this means the contagious disease was spread among the Indians, and his death proved more fatal to them than his life. SULLIVAN COUNTY. 97 the muzzle, and the ball entered the floor. Hardenburgh then drew his pistol and shot' Hasbrouck through the intestines, after which he drew his knife and cut and slashed him. fear fully about the neck and th'ighs, and inflicted several wounds on the body. Both were large and powerful men. Two years previous to this occurrence, Hasbrouck was a candidate for Member of Congress. Hardenburgh was a member of the » Methodist Churjch and was professedly a religious man. He rigorously observed his religious practices till his death ; even in his" cell, where he supposed he 'was not observed, he uni formly asked a blessing before eating. He was hung at Monti cello, July 14, 1842.* May 16, 1850, Timothy Palmer was murdered on the Shaw angunk Mountain, in the town of Mamakating, by his brother, Wm. R. Palmer. The brothers had purchased wild lands on ttie mountain, in partnership. Timothy persisted in peeling bark, to which William objected, and d quarrel ensued, which resulted in William's shooting Timothy. To Conceal hik crime he pried up a. tree which Timothy had just felled, and under it placed the body. Timothy was missed, and found the same evening. The firing of the gun, the report of which was heard, in connection with a knowledge of the existence of the quarrel between the brothers, caused suspicion to rest upon Williahi, who was arrested, convicted, and, on the 20th of Nov., 1851, was hung at Monticello. He. made no public confession ; but just after the execution, the attending clergyman, Rev. James Adams, announced to the people congregated to witness it, that the prisoner had a few hours before confessed the crime and admitted the justness of the sentence. . On the 8th of Sept., 1868, in Callicoon, Noah Bigelow attempted rape on the person of Cynthia Sager, aged eleven years, and murdered her to conceal his crime, When the murderer was apprehended, a strong disposition was manifested to act on the order of " Judge Lynch," but more prudent counsel prevailed and he was handed over to the officers of the law. He was tried and convicted, and on the 5th of July, 1869, at noon, was hung at Monticello, by Sheriff Bigelow. Owing to the insufficiency of data at command, we are una ble to give a full and concise history of the part taken by'Sul- . livan County, in the war of the Rebellion, as we should like to\ do. Enough is determined, however, to warrant the assertion that she was not behind her sister counties in the performance of her duty, and that when the future historian shall be enabled •While in jailhe wrote a history of his life, the facts of which will be given in detail in the History of Sullivan County soon to he published by James E.

The 143rd Regt. N. Y. Vol. Infantry, organized at Monticello, to serve for three years, was termed the Sullivan Co. Regt., as it was mainly raised in this County, two companies only being raised in Tompkins County. The Regiment went into camp at Pleasant Lake, near Monticello, Sept. 1, 1862, and was mustered into the IT. S. ser vice Oct. 8, * 1862. It left camp Oct. 10, 1862, under Col. David P.

BETHEL was formed from Lumberland, March 27, 180$. Cochecton was taken off in 1828. It lies upon the high ridges which form the watershed between Delaware and Mongaupij'J rivers, a little south-west of the center of the County, Its, sur face is broken and hilly, and many of the declivities are steep and rocky. It is drained easterly by the West Branch of the Mongaup and several smaller streams which are tributary to that river, and westerly by the Callicoon Creek and a branch' of the Ten Mile Creek. The Mongaup forms its eastern boundary. Its surface is dotted by many small lakes, which form a beautiful and romantic feature of the landscape. White Lake,* near the center, named from its white sandy shores ancf •On page 67, in the 1st Vol. of the Poems of Alfred B. Street, this lake is noticed by the name of "Kau-na-ong-ga," which, he says, means literally '"two wings,'" because " it is in the form Of a pair of hnge wings expanded." James B. Qninlan.however, asserts on the authority of Street, that this definition is merely the result of the letter's poetic fancy. We make the following extract from the poem on this lake, which appears in the same work:. " Pure ae their parent springs I how bright The silvery waters stretch away, Reposing in the pleasant light Of June's most lovely day. " Curving ronnd the the eastern side.

Williams, pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian Church at White Lake,! furnishes the following Interesting particulars respecting this lake and the surrounding-, country, which we copy verbatim : bottom, is noted for the beauty of its scenery, and is becoming a favorite summer resort. Several large boarding houses have been erected on its banks for the accommodation of visitors. "WHITK LAKE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS. ¦ " This is the deepest lake in Sullivan County. By actual measurement, James E. Munger found the northern end 80 feet deep, and the narrows 70 feet. Formerly the lake contained the largest trout in the world. These trout had carmine spots, which is unusual for lake trout, (Salmo Conflnis.) In the winter of 1832, Charles Fenno Hoffman, an author whom none will dispute, saw a tront taken from White Lake which weighed six pounds. In Feb'y 1848, Lewis Piatt caught one which Weighed eight pounds, fourteen oz. A sketch of this fish was drawn on a board at the old Lake House. It was the same year that James B. Finlay employed an Indian to take black bass from Lake Oeorge and put them in White Lake, from which they have been distributed to other lakes and ponds. "AS A SUMMER RESORT. " The old Lake House stood upon the ground now occupied by Harold Henwood for a private residence. It was built for the accommodation of travelers and was occasion ally a place of resort for those who wished to spend a few days in fishing and hunting fifty years ago. In the year 1846, Mr. Finlay built the first hotel for summer boarders. It was kept by Simon M. Jordan, George B. Wooldridge, Stephen Sweet and others. The business did not pay until the Mansion House was built by a club of wealthy New Yorkers, who made an arrangement by which D. B. Kinne became proprietor, after wards: "In the year 1886 the Grove Hotel was erected and occupied by George Wooldridge. Two years later, Capt. Wm. Waddell constructed ' Sunny Glade ' Boarding House. In none of these houses iB kept any bar for the sale of intoxicating drinks, as the design is to accommodate the better class of boarders. Since the opening of greater facilities of access to the metropolis by newly constructed Railroads, it is sometimes difficult to accommodate the increasing number of summer visitors. "COTTAGES AND PBIVATE RESIDENCES. " Napoleon Wooldridge, of the Detective Police, N. Y., has jnst finished a beautiful cottage on the southern shore of the lake, and his example is about to be followed by some of his friends. Rev. Mr. Williams has also completed a heoded building accom modated to the scenery on the side of the lake. Newcomb Mapes, in his humble way, has just completed a sung hqme for his family. Time and space would fail to tell of Mercer and Hunger and, Corley and Potts and Gregory and v anorden, who, like the philosopher, have sought a place to put down a lever and 'move the world, and have obtained their design by securing a home for their families. "ATTRACTIVE SCENERY. " The supposed name of' this beautiful body of water is 'Konaonga.' Frequented no doubt it was by the Indians, for the purpose of fishing, and possibly, at some remote period, the blood of battle may have crimsoned its surface, as the number of darts found at its northern extremity would seem to indicate. But the trail of the red man of the forest has faded from the memory of living men in the vicinity, yet the natural loveli ness of the place occupies in more cultured society the pen of the poet and the pencil of the artist. " Mount Wilder rises south of the lake with gentle declivity, and recedes from the shore about 800 feet, where it reaches a point of more than sixteen hundred feet above tide water on the Hudson. If a magnificent view is sought for, this eminence will suit the purpose. ': Slumbering beneath, lies the lake, fed by internal springs.and not by rivulets. Its waters wash a shore of pebbly white sand, and when the rhododendrons blossom, at the end of June, the whole winding confines look like enchantment. Let the surface be dotted with boats in gay colors, and a view is presented in summer months which 'one never tires of seeing. Away to the north you see sloping farms, framed in groves of natural beauty, up to the very summit of Mount Sherwpod, as it looms up into the serene heavens. A spur of the Catskills makes a show back of Shandaken hills. Then on the right, ' the smoky range of the Shawangunk' is lost in the glades and forests of the Neversink. As the eye sweeps the distant scenery, it detects an almost unbroken chain of mountains lying around the whole circle of the horizon, including undefined summits back of Port Jervis, and also the Susquehanna range in Pennsylvania. " There 1b not the bold configuration of Newburgh Bay and the richly laden vessels of commerce, nor the island which Headley calls 'a child of adjacent hills,' but there is more of the repose which attracts moBtly those who relish retirement from the active scenes of busy life. , _. " To crown all, there is an atmosphere as pure as any on the face of tne globe. The bottom of the lake is rock and sand, and the surface lying so high, no miasmatic qual ities will ever infect the air. The region ib that of hemlock, pine and balsam, exhaling life-giving qualities; but here the locust never lives. Physicians frequently send ^ here invalids to recover health. Instances almost incredible might be, furnished of restoration^ 8o those who wish to combine rafe scenery kand healthfulnesB, find a sojourn here during the warm summer months eminently desirable." 108 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. The other principal lakes are Birch Eidge Bond in the north west, Horse Shoe and Pleasant Ponds in the north, Mallory Pond in the west, Indian Field Pond in the south, fig and: Wells Ponds on the south line, and Chestnut Eidge Pond, Black Lake and Lake Superior near the center. The soil ls^a sandy and gravelly loam, intermixed in places with clay, and resting on slate. It is of a pretty good quality and is well adapted to grazing. The settlements are comparatively new, and the people are chiefly engaged in stock raising, dairying; lumbering and tanning, the latter being the principal business. Large quan tities of butter and beef are annually sent to market. • There are at present in the town three Presbyterian and two Methodist churches, three tanneries, three flouring mills, fourteen saw mills and nine stores. The town has an area of 53,472 acres, of which, according to the census1 of 1865, 17,406 were improved and 36,066, unim proved. _ . ¦ The population of the town in 1870 was 2,736. .During the year ending Sept. 30, 1871, the town contained fifteen school districts and employed fifteen teachers. The number of children of school age was 1,157; the number attending school, 892; the average attendance, 368; and the value of school houses and sites, $3,911. The schools of this town will com pare favorably with those of any other in the County. Mongaup Valley, (p. v'^'situated on the Mongaup Biver, and Newburgh and Cochecton Turnpike, near the center c*f the east line of the town, is a flourishing village and contains two churches, (Associate Beformed presbyterian and M.

Kiersted & Co. are proprietors, is situated on the Mon gaup River, by which stream itB motive power is furnished, and is admitted to be the model tannery in the County. Perhaps it Would not be extravagant to say this of it in respect to the whole country, for Its internal arrangement and the various processes employed in the manufacture, are characterized by such neatness, fitness and con venience as iB consistent with the business, and in striking contrast with most estab lishments of the kind. So marked' are these features in this establishment ithgt we deem if worthy of especial notice, and we.'havd, through the courtesy of the gentle manly proprietors, been perniltted to inspect critically the departments of tbeu'trorks, and have beep fnraiBhed By them with statistics, which are descriptive, no); only of the manufacture of leather in general, but of this tannery in particular. This was the first tannery erected in the town. Oh the 8th of August, 1847, Wynkoop and John Kiersted entered into f. contract with John C, Richard M., J. Howard, Margaret M., Maria L., Cornelia R. and Robert L. Tillotson, securing to them the hemlock bark on a tract of land of about ten thousand acres, known as the Tillotson Tract, it being Great Lot 15 qf the Hardenburgh Patent, which contract with its renewal embraces a term of thirty years. In 1848, Wynkoop and John Kiersted, and John W. Swan, who compose the firm of W. Kiersted # Co., erected this— the Mongaup Tannery ; the main building being 410 feet long and 40 feet wide. The lower story embraces the Beam. House and Yard. The Beam House contains four sets of Hide Mills, for softening and cleansing hides ; nine large vats for soaking hides ; and eight underground rooms— 16 feet long, 8 feet wide and 12 feet high— built with stone and covered with a heavy body of earth to keep them of even temperature.

This operation is repeated every two to four weeks until the hides are tanned, which requires from four to five months. When tanned, the sides of leather are passed through the scrubbing machine, (which consists of a rapidly revolving cylinder,cohtaining brusheB, over which water 1b kept Tunning,) and cleansed from all filth. They are next passed into the second story, where they are suspended on sticks until dry, when they are sprinkled with water, find, after becoming sufficiently softened, are passed under a brass roller, subjected to heavy pressure, until they become firmly set and highly polished, after which they are passed to the third Btory, where they are again dried, and are then ready for market. The Leach House is 160 feet long. In it the bark is ground by one of the celebrated Palen Ss Avery Bark Mills. From the mill the ground bark is raised by means of elevators into a loft, from which it iB run into the leaches. The Leach House contains five circular leaches, sixteen feet in diameter, and six and one-half feet deep, which are filled with ground bark and hot "weak liquor, or water passed thereon by means of Allen & Warren's Rotating Sprinklers, the water being heated by steam in a box through which it passes on its way to the sprinklers. The Steam House is fifty by thirty feet, and contains a ten horse power steam engine, and three thirty-two feet, thirty inch boilers, and the same number of eight feet, thirty- inch boilers for generating steam for leaching the bark. The. Bark House is 400 feet long and 22 feet wide. Permanent employment is given to fifty men, and during the bark peeling season about ninety additional laborers are employed. About fifty teams' are employed in hauling during . the, winter. Connected with the establishment are fifteen double dwellings for the ac commodation of the families of the workmen. From the time the Tannery commenced operations, in Oct., 1848, up to Jan. 1, 1872, there has been manufactured here into hemlock sole leather 444,932 hides, weighing 10,044,666 pounds, costing $1,966,662.60, making therefrom 889,864 Bides .of leather, weighing 14,976,127 pounds, and selling for $3,334,169.36. There was consumed in the manufacture 99,856 jf cords of bark, which cost $827,662.87; and the cost of labor during this period was $272,754.42. •The first tannery en the site of this one was built in 1861 , by A. P. Bush & Co. It was burned in 1863, and rebuilt by E.' Fobes. It was burned again in 1867, and was again rebuilt by E. Fobes, who continued its proprietor until 1871, when it passed into the hands of the present proprietors, David Clements and Lucas Fobes. The present tannery is situated on the west side of the Mongaup, and with it is connected a saw mill and store. The main building is 800 feet long and 40 feet wide. The leach house is 133 feet long and 24 feet wide. The engine house is 30 feet long and 24 feet wide. The leach house contains four leaches, one junk and 128 vats. An engineer twenty horse power is used ;' 2,300 cords of bark are annually consumed ; and 20,000 sides are tanned. 110 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. constitutes it a place of unusual attractiveness to. the seekers of pleasure and recreation. It is distant only eight miles from Monticello, the County Seat, and the northern terminus of the Monticello & Port Jervis B. B., and possesses advantages unattainable in any other direction, within similar distance from New York. The White Lake Mansion House is located at the south-west extremity of. the lake whose name it bears, and is attracting that attention from those who seek a short respite from the tedium of sedentary pursuits and an opportunity to inhale generous supplies of pure country air, to which its merit entitles it. North White Lake is a hamlet, beautifully situated at the foot of the lake which gives it its name, one mile north of White Lake. It contains one hotel, one store, one grist mill, one saw mill, a blacksmith shop, a wagon shop, a school house, ten dwellings and forty inhabitants. The grist mill at this place stands on the sight of the, first grist mill built in the town.* It is the third one that has been erected thereon. It has three runs of stonesy the motor for which is supplied by a thirty feet fall of water, which is con sidered- one of the best and safest water powers in the State. It has a grinding capacity of 75,000 bushels of grain annually. The saw mill at this place has facilities for sawing 300,000 feet of lumber annually. The motive power for this is also furnished by a thirty feet fall of water. Harold Henwood, a gentleman residing in Jersey City, has made large purchases of lands around this (White) lake, which he is improving and beautifying. / Black Lake is a hamlet situated at the outlet of the lake of the same name, two miles south of White Lake, and contains one store, one tannery, one saw mill, one blacksmith shop, one shoe shop, one school house, fifteen dwellings and a population of 120. 6 .

The mill has a circular saw and is capable of sawing 7,000 feet of lumber per day. It was' built in 1851, by Otis Segar, who sold it in 1869 to his son. Steyenstille (p.o.) is on the north line,, in the town of Liberty ; for description see that town. , The settlement of this town seems to have commenced sub sequent to the Bevolutionary war. . As early as 1798, John, George and Peter, the three sons of Adam Pintler, an old man tiien living in Deckertown, New Jersey, came into this town by the way of Carpenters Point, thence following up the Delaware and Mongaup rivers and Black Lake Brook, by a line of marked trees made by hunters and trappers, who in those early times, visited the lakes and ponds in the vicinity for the purpose of trapping and hunting. The three young Pintlers located on a tract of land lying west of White Lake, not know ing to whom it belonged, or that it belonged to any one, and commenced making improvements thereon by clearing the land and putting, in crops. They returned when their wbrk was done, and the two. following years came to gather their harvest and make further improvements; At that time the country between Mamakating Hollow (now Wurtsboro) ' and west to the Delaware Biver was an almost unbroken wilder ness, the nearest settlement east being twenty-one miles dis tant. In 1800 a road was opened through this desert from Mamakating to Cochecton, passing through Bethel, on the south side of White Lake. This road, when opened, could be traveled by no carriage better than an ox sled, and by such conveyance the early settlers had to migrate to their western homes, and to carry their grain to- the mill at Bloomingburgh to be ground, a distance of twenty-Aye miles. The same year( the Pintlers built a log house on their faran, and moved their father and family to their new home. In 1804, John K. Beek- man* of New York City, who owned Great Lot 16 of the Har denburgh Patent, sent his agent, William Peck, to make im provements on his property at the outlet of White Lake. Peck built a saw mill, and then one or two dwelling houses and a grist mill. At this time the Pintlers learned that they were living on Beekman's land, which they bought and paid for. *See page 110 for furthur mention of Beekman's operations. 113 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. George and Peter aje yet living and own and occupy the same farm,* In the same year Graham Hurd moved into the town from Connecticut and settled in what has since been known as the Hurd Settlement-, and while preparing for and building a house, his family lived in a room or cave in the rocks, which is still kilown as the Rock Cabin. At or about the same time, Chauncey Hurd settled a short distance south of Graham. Abijah Mitchell, who came in 1804, was killed by the fall of a tree, and is supposed to be the first man buried in the Bethel Cemetery. In 1805 James Pulton bought a tract of land; in the north-east part of the town and moved his own and his son's family on the tract, which is known as the Fulton Settler ment. David Jackson came from the town of Woodbury, Litchfield Co., Conn., and located in the Hurd Settlement, on the farm now owned by Hugh Townsley, in 1805. His son, Isaac, came in the preyio'us year and cleared about three acres, which he sowed to rye, so that his father would have something to eat on his arriyat David Jackson Jr., son of David Jackson above referred to, is now living in Cochecton- Prom 1805 to 181J3 additional settlements were made in different parts of the town by Elias San.dfb.rd, Stephen Northrup,f James Luckey, Joseph Pinkney, John Bamsay, William, Bobert and James Prazer. 'French, in his Gazetteer of the State of New York, on page 643, Bays that "Adam . and Eve Pen tier" settled " near Bethel." Our informant, from whom we have obtained much of the information given in regard to the early settlement of the town, is Wm. GJlleepie, Surveyor and Conveyancer, who has been a resident of the town for sixty years and has held several town and county offices ; who was County Superintendent ' of the Poor, Member of Assembly, ' and Loan Commissioner ; who has been a Justice of the Peace about twenty-five years, in which capacity, also that of Loan Commis sioner, he 1b now acting, and is sixty-nine years old. tStephen Northrup, who 1b supposed to be the oldest person now living in the County, was born in Sept., 1780, and came to Bethel from Salisbury, Conn., inMay, 1807, with an ox team, having to ford the Neversink. After searching for a favorable- place to locate, he returned, and on the way met Zalmon Hawley, a friend of his, who was then moving with his family, consisting of his wife and two children, to Bethel, and who induced him to go back with him. They met on the east side of the Neversink. The water in the river at that time was very high, and rendered it necessary to transfer the household goods to the west bank by means of a log canoe. The wagon was taken apart and conveyed across in the same manner, while the horses and cows swam across. The second day after they had crossed the Neversink, having crossed the West Branch of the Mongaup, they were overtaken by a heavy thunder storm, from which they pro tected the woman and children by means of blankets suspended on a pole, which was supported by two crotched stakes driven into the ground ; but as this did not provide a shelter sufficiently large to protect all five, the men were obliged to stand in the rain. The following day they proceeded as far as a clearing on theFulton Settlement,' on which was erected a log cabin which was used by Fulton to Bleep in while clearing hiB land. In this cabin they passed the night.. The next day Northrup retraced bis steps eastward and returned in about three weeks with his family. Joseph K. North rup, son of Stephen, from whom this information was obtained, was born Oct, 14, 1807,- and was the second male child born in the town. In December, 1807, Stephen moved his family on the place it now occupies. He was always a man of temperate habits. In lS16hejpined the Presbyterian Church, and for the last fifty years he has been a member of the Church at Liberty. When he first settled, the nearest post office was Kingston, Ulster Co. « GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 113 . In 1810 the Newburgh & Cochecton Turnpike was finished, passing through the town on the south bank of White Lake. Settlements were soon made on and near this thoroughfare. Among those who thus settled may be mentioned the names of William Brown,* who kept the first hotel in the town, who was the first Town Clerk, which office he filled many years, and was also County Treasurer ; John Cross, Who kept the first. store where Bethel village now is; John Lindsley, who was the first physician in the town, and who represented the County . two terms in the State Legislature ; William and Dav}d Stewart, John McClure, John and Thomas Potts, John Voorhis, Abner Hollister, Samuel S. Bafkley, Henry H. Crist, Eleazer Bverard, Thomas Lyon, Paul Horton, Nathan Smith, Isaac, Walter and John Knapp, Thaddeus and Norman Judson, Charles Dekay, Obediah Tibbet, Aaron Heuras, Michael Mudge and others, who either bought or leased land and improved the same. In, 1811, William Gillespie bought land in the town, erected a store house at White Lake and commenced the mercantile business, and in the spring of 1812 moved his family from New York City to it.- During his life he held various town and county offices; he died in 1849. & 1812 the grist mill at White Lake was rebuilt, and the following year Mr. Beekman put up machinery for spinning flax in its basement. The flax was shipped from New York City, and the thread returned there. The manufactory was under the supervision of Alexander Sterrat, and was continued until after the war was ended in 1815, when it was closed. In the south part of the town were extensive groves of white pine which have long since disap peared, having been converted into lumber and shipped to the Philadelphia market by the Delaware Biver. -The hemlock forests are fast disappearing, owing to the increasing consump tion of the tanneries. Thos. Stewart, from Washington Co., N. Y., came to this town in March, 1812, with his family and worldly effects, drawn by & yoke of oxen, and was that summer drafted into the army. He started to join his regiment on Long Island, b,ut when he arrived at Bloonlingburgh he hired a sub- *Wm. Brown phrchase'd land in the town, previous tb its erection as such, on what he supposed would be the line of the Newburgh & Cochecton Turnpike, which was then contemplated ; but when the road was constructed through the town the line was ran about a mile north of Ms purchase. As the land was bought on speculation and undec the supposition that the road would be built through its center, the location of the road a mile north of it rendered this project ahortive. Samuel F. Jones of Monticello, who was acquainted with the design of Brown, resolved to profit by his mistake and forestall him by purchasing the land on either side of the road ; he started to Albany via New burgh, and thence by sloop for that purpose. Brown, on learning Jones' intention, knowing it was impossible to overtake him by the route he had taken, adopted the expedient of proceeding to Albany on horseback, which his knowledge of surveying and his ability to determine a route thither with the aid of the compass enabled him to do. Accordingly he started on horseback, With hiB compass under hiB arm, and arrived in Albany, transacted his business, and, on making his exit from the land office, met Jones, who had just arrived, but too late to accomplish his purpose. stitute and returned to his farm. His sons are Wm, I., now living at Monticello, and Thomas H. and Alex., who are now living in this town. Adam Pintler, son of John Pintleri was the first male child born in this town. He was born May 2, 1805. Eve Pintler, was born Oct. 7, 1803, and was the first child born in the town. The first death in the town was that of a child of Stephen Northrup.* •The following extracts are taken from the Town Records: " At the [first] annual Town Meeting held at the House of Wm.

Morrison of Wurtsboro the description of tne following incident : ' ' There was a little boy ten or twelve years of age living with his parents, in 1806, at White Lake. He was sent one day with a little basket to carry dinner to some wood choppers about a mile distant. He took their dinner to them and started for home. On his way back he lost the footpath, and wandered on until the trees began to cast their long shadows eastward, and the sun to sink behind the western mountains. He thought he was near home, and knowing not what course to take he concluded to lay down on a bed of leaves and sleep till morning. In the morning he arose early and started again, as he supposed, homeward. He wandered all day, going through woods he had never seen before, crossing streams he had never before gazed upon, till the sun in its golden .course in the heavens had declined in the western mountains. The little boy, hungry and tired, with his feet swollen, his clothes in tatters, and his body lacer ated, lay down to sleep. His sleep was broken by the bleat of a deer and the fierce shriek of a catamount, but [hungry and fatigued he again lay down to sleep] and did not wake until the sun had risen and shone full upon'him. He arose from his leafy couch, cold and hungry, and wandered on [during the] days and rested [during the] nights till ten long days and nights passed over him. On. the eleventh day he was so weak, (his, only food being a few berries,) and his feet so torn and swollen, that he could only crawl along on his hands and knees; yet he wandered on and some thing seemed to whisper to him, ' Onward ! James, Onward !' Onward he drew his feeble form; but he stopped — he listened — he heard a cow bell near him — he dragged himself near it and found it in a clearing. He grasped a sapling and raised his trembling form, racking with pain, to see if he could'get a sight of a dwelling. He discovered a footpath. The cdttle made slowly towards it, and he followed them, dragging his weary body along: Old Mrs. Lair, residing in Callicoon, discovered something near her house, and hastened to see it. She discovered James Glass, the poor lost boy, and took him in her arms and carried him into her dwelling. She laid him on the bed, dressed his wounds, and administered care fully a little nourishment. He fainted away, but recovered, and soon slept in a disturbed slumber. In his dreams he called for his uncle and his mother. He mentioned their names, and as the morning dawned, the old hunters that gathered around, hastened to carry the news of his recov ery to White Lake. Eight long days had his friends at White Lake sought for him in vain. They gave up all hopes of his recovery, supposing the wild beasts had made him their [prey.] The old hunters flew with the news, and as the noble hearted pioneers saw them, coming they gathered round to hear the welcome news. ' The lost boy is found.' There was joy in the dwelling. James, though he lived to be an old man, never recovered. " ¦ The following incident is also extracted from the same writings : "Not far south of White Lake is a swamp called ' Smedes.' In olden times it was quite a resort for bears, and they occasionally wintered in it: Along the edge of the swamp were berries, nuts, &c, on which they fed: ? The swamp was filled with heavy timber and thick groves of- cjper laurel. Panthers, wolves, and. deer used- to frequent it. Uncle Tommy, as Thomas Horton of Bethel [was] called, had tried his hand quite success- 1 fully at trappingwolves, and one time thought -he would try his luck at bear catching. He sat his trap near the edge of a stump, and caught a very large one. On discovering it he thought at first it was dead.

Concluding that a dose of cold lead would stop its being annoyed by the gnats he administered it with his trusty rifle. . It paid no attention to the medicine, and bo he, thought he would bleed it. Jumping astraddle of its back, he drew his keen edged hunting knife across its jugular, severing fit] at a stroke. This brought life into the bear.

GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. hq North Branch of Callicoon Creek.* It is watered by numerous streams flowing into the Delaware, the valleys being mostly narrow ravines, and the hills rising in steep declivities from two hundred to six hundred feet above them. In the north east are Shandley and Sand Ponds, the latter affording a pure White sand, which was formerly used in making glass. The Fast Branch of the Callicoon flows through the east border, and the North Branch of the same stream flows through the town in a general southerly direction, a little west of the center. These streams are subject to sudden overflows, and much dam age has resulted from the inundations thus produced. f ?Alfred B. Street, in Vol. 1, p. 40, of Mb Poems published In 1867, thus descants upon " The Callicoon in Autumn." . " Now, stealing through its thickets deep In which the wood-duck hides ; Now, picturing in its basin sleep Its green, pool-hollowed sides ; Here, through the pebbles slow it creeps, There, in some wild abyss it sweeps, And foaming, hoarsely chides ; Then slides so still, its gentle swell Scarce ripples round the lily's hell." t A correspondent to the American Journal, writing from Jeffersonville under date of Ang. 2, 1865, thus speaks of the freshet which occurred in that year : " On the night or Aug. 1, 1855, the waters in the Fast Branch of the Callicoon sudden ly raised abont twelve feet, overflowing its backs in all directions and spreading ruin upon every Bide. As far as we have been able to learn there was not a bridge left stand ing from its head waters to its mouth. All along its banks from Toungsville to Pike Fond was a scene of ruins. [Toungsville sustained much damage.] There the stream partially turned from its former bed and branched off in several directions, each branch cutting its way through streets and fields, making the. place resemble a group of small islands. 'Nearly every dam on the stream above Jeffersonville was carried away, and every mannfacturing establishment sustained more or less damage. The saw mill of Dan D. Quick was entirely swept off, not even the foundation remaining. Jefferson ville, too, suffered severely. That part of the village situated on the island was com pletely inundated: all the gardens Were destroyed and many of the cellars and lower rooms were completely filled with water. At two o'clock it was the general impression that every honse upon the island would be undermined or carried away ; [and the fact " that there was no place of refuge for the inhabitants, every bridge having been swept away, and every retreat cut off, added terror to the scene."] In this perilous situation every rumbling noise awakened new apprehensions that the tannery dam, situated about a quarter of a mile [distant,] then trembling under the pressure [to which it was subjected,] would give way and decide their fate.. For several hours large logs and heavy sticks of timber floated through the streets and gardens, bumping the houses and fences as though they stood in the channel of some navigable river. Nearly half the buildings in the place sustained damage. Further down the stream whole pieces of grass and grain were washed away and in a short space of time the fields upon which they had grown were covered with heavy driftwood. The Callicoon & Cochecton Turn- Sike for about (wo miles was literally washed away or blockaded with huge piles of oodwood. "On the North Branch of the Callicoon the flood was equally destruc tive, carrying away every bridge, and seriously injuring every manufacturing establishment on the stream, and entirely destroying miles of road located npon its banks. One dwelling house, [Harmon Packard's] with its inmates, the wife i and a child about 4 years of age, was carried down the stream several rods, into a pile of driftwood, where the house was crushed to pieces. The child was saved, the wife, drowned. The child was found in the morning seated among the ruins', alive and unin jured. The first words it spoke to those who found it, were, ' My Mother 1 Oh, My Mother 1 she is drowned.' [The body of the mother was found after some days.] The family had retired early in the evening without any apprehension of danger, and quietly slept until the house began to move from its foundations when the husband leaped from the window just in time to escape the same fate, leaving his wife and child - invoking him in supplicating tones to save them ; but alas 1 no aid could be given them ; there was a heart to pity, but no arm to save them. 120 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. The soil is mostly sandy loam, and the hillsides and summits are generally capable of a good degree of cultivation. The people are chiefly engaged in lumbering, farming and tanning, though the importance of the latter branch of industry is diminishing with the gradual exhaustion of the supply of hemlock bark in the town. There are about a dozen saw mills and two tanneries in the town, There were, in 1870, 2,764 inhabitants in the town, about one-half of whom are Germans, who are, many of them, though they have been here twenty years or more, unable to converse intelligibly in the English language. The town has an area of 24,017 acres, of which, in 1865, according to the census of that year, 12,223, were improved, and 11,794, unimproved. During the year ending Sept. 30, 1871, the town contained fourteen school districts and employed sixteen teachers. The number of children of school age was 1,117; the number attending school, 836 ; the average attendance was 350 ; and the value of school houses and sites, $5,572. Jeffersonville (p. y.) is situated on the East, Branch of Callicoon Creek, in the south-east part, on the line of Dela ware, and is distant eleven miles from the Midland R.

The surrounding country is good, and is well adapted to grain culture and grazing. E.,A. Clark <& Co.'s Tannery is located near this village.' It contains 182 square vats; consumes 5,000 cords of bark; employs thirty-five persons ; and manufactures 50,000 sides of leather. " It is difficult to estimate the amount of damage done in Callicoon : it is probably forty to sixty thousand dollars, it may be more, but we thinkno less." Says A. Hardenburgh, whose mill and turn works were damaged to the extent of.a thousand dollars, "The crop of rye and other grain which stood in the fields, in shocks, was so washedthat it was entirely destroyed. The family of Adam Kilion, living a little " above Toungsville, frightened from their house by the rising waters, took refuge on a large hemlock stump which stood in front of the house, andlhere passed the night." Another destructive freshet occurred in 1857, which rendered the roads impassable for nearly two.weeks. . Again, In 1869, a freshet in the North Branch destroyed six bridges and John EDert's nun dam ; and damaged the barns of J. Coleman and Wm. Dle> richson, and the mlU-damof theformer, whose house was also undermined and a por tion of it carried away. The creek was turned from its natural source and the crops on the adjacent farms sustained much damage from the inundation thus produced. ThrAe acres of good land, with the fruit trees growing thereon, was washed away.. Mr. Dlet- richson lost about 18,000 feet of lumber, together with a quantity of cabinet ware.

The Saw Mill, of which J. 0. DeGroff is proprietor, located on the East Branch of the Callicoon, about two miles north of Jeffersonville, is capacitated to saw 600,000 feet of lumber annu ally. There is connected with it a lath and picket mill. A. Hardenburgh & Son's Mills, located on the Middle Branch of the Callicoon, about one mile north of Youngsville, enable them to manufacture about 200,000 feet of turned stuff and saw 300,000 feet of lumber annually.

There is a saw mill on the Middle Branch of the Callicoon, about two miles north of Youngsville, which is supplied with a single upright saw, run by an eighteen feet head of water, and which saws about 200,000 feet of lumber annually. The settlement^ the town is comparatively recentj and seems to have remained an uninviting locality to immigrants seeking a home in the west, until the New York and Erie R. R. was projected; for though permanent settlements were made prior to that time, they were meager until the location of that road through or adjacent to the town was assured, in the fall of 1807 and winter of 1808, John DeWitt of New York, who was a large owner of lands covered by the Hardenburgh' Patent, con tracted with Curtis Hurd and James S. Jackson to chop and clear one hundred acres on the flat a little south of Youngs ville, for which he paid them £163 19s "New York currency. It is presumed that Mr. DeWitt intended making this his resi dence, but his death in April, 1808, frustrated this plan. In April, 1813, his son, Andrew DeWitt, employed Capt. Abijah Mitchell of Bethel to build a log house on this tract, and though it was completed with the exception of some part of the roof, it does not appear that DeWitt occupied the house himself, or that he had a tenant in it. The first permanent settlenient was made May 19, 1814, by Wm. Wood, a widower, and his three sons, Garrett, Edward W. and David, with their families. Edward and Garrett each had four children, and David one child. The Woods were of Eng lish and Scotch descent. They moved from the vicinity of High Falls, Ulster County, and settled on a rise of land near the East Branch of the Callicoon, about one, and one-half miles north east from Jeffersonville. To reach" their new home they were obliged to cut their way ten miles through the woods, without a .road or ajpath to guide them; and wmle doing so, provided, part of the food on which the party subsisted. Game was'* abundant and it required bjit little time and exertion to amply supply all their wants in this respect. While some of them, ax in hand, cleared away the trees and other obstructions, others catered for the party. In this way they proceeded, camping at night under a temporary shelter, until they reached their desti nation, where they found the 'abandoned clearing and delapi- dated cabin of DeWitt. They occupied the cabin until they erected houses of their own, which. they at once proceeded to do. Edward was a cooper, the others were farmers ; hence it is presumable that their, cabins were built in the most primi tive manner and possessed few of the embellishments which grace the homes of some of the residents of Callicoon. There was neither store, mill, nor school, within ten miles of them. When it was necessary to go to the mill, which, as well as the store, was at Liberty, two of the brothers accompanied each other ; each shouldering a bushel and a half of rye or corn, they trudged off with it through the forest; and when ground, they returned with it in the same way, generally performing the journey both ways in a day.* John Wood, son of Edward Wood, was the first child born in the town ; the first death was that of Garrett Wood's, wife, a few years after they settled in the town.f For fifteen years the Woods seem to have been the only residents of the town, whose population was only increased by births in this family. , They cleared land and tilled it ; plant ed orchards; manufactured staves ; and one of them, (Edward) Worked at his trade, while another cured cancers, and was known as a cancer doctor. Peter Wormouth located on the ridge east of the North Branch of the Callicoon, ip 1830. He was industrious and economical, but deficient in sociability and geniality. He ac quired possession of a good farm, and became a lender of money. *" We are assured," says James E. Quinlan, "that Eve, the wife of Edward Wood, once carried a quantity of flax and her youngest child to a store on the Neversink, seventeen miles from home, where she exchanged the flax for butter, and returned with it andher infant, performing the thirty-four miles In a single day 1 Onriqformant says she was slightly fatigned after her long journey, we are not disposed to question the accuracy of this part of his statement." , tSays James E. Quinlan, "The circumstances attending it [the death of Mrs. Wood] remind us of the severe simplicity of a primitive age. There was no kind and sympathiz ing neighbor to assist in performing the last sad offices for the dead. The trembling hands of her kindred closed her eyes, disposed her hands reverently across her breast, and otherwise prepared her corpse for the grave. One of her sisters-in-law went on foot to Buckley's in Liberty, to procure a shroud and other necessary articles, while Edward and David Wood undertook to make the coffin. : One of the early residents in the Blue Mountain Settlement in Liberty, was compelled to manufacture a coffin from a sleigh box. The Woods were tn a worse dilemma. There was not a board, nor a sleigh box, nor a wagon box within their reach, and if there had been time to go to a saw mill ten miles or more distant, and carry back the necessary lumber on their shoulders, it was not decent to leave their afflicted brother almost alone with the body of his dead wife. They surmounted the difficulty by selecting a straight grained log of sufficient size, and from this split four slabs. From the round side of these the bark was removed, and in and out they were made as smooth and decent as possible. In a box made of these the shrouded corpse was laid, and thus coffined was she consigned to the narrow house to which all must go sooner or later. She was interred on the Logeinann farm, and we have no doubt was as sincerely mourned as if her funeral had been attended with the pomp and vanity of a modern burial." 124 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS.

He was a liative of Pike Co., Pa., and was a nephew of Toni Quick, J with whom he hunted and trapped, in his youth. In his History of Sullivan County, Quinlan says of him : "As an evidence of Jacob Quick's standing in his native town, we mention the fact that he was a Justice of the Peace for thirty successive 'Extract from J.

He was fond of litigation, and entered 1 nitOilegal.strife with as much vim as a war horse does into battle. •trom this or some other cause, he lost a fair estate, and when sixty years or age, found that his liabilities somewhat exceeded his assets. To escape the annoyances which attend such a condition, aid hoping to retrieve a decayed fortune, he managed to save a few hundred dollars trom the 'stern grasp ,of his Creditors, with which He bought a lot of heavuy-timberad and fertile land ,in. Callicoqn, the deed of which was given to his old wife. " He was at this time a stalwart, rugged man of sixty, whose keen eye and steady hand could give -a deadly direction to a bullet, and who boasted that no man was his superior as an angler. With his ash pole and horse-hair Hap he loved to compete with the dandy trout catchers who sometimes went to the North Branch to indulge, in their favorite sport, and great was his mortification and disgust if the basket pf the fancy gentleman contained a greater number of epecMed beauties than were found on his 'string.' But ample was his revenge when evening approached, and he returned with his .guest across the ridge which divides the N,orth from the Bast Branch, With the grace and agility of an Indian, -he stalked in a straight line for home, no more encountering an obstacle than a hawk floating in the air ; while his companion dodged around all kinds of difficulties, and was generally considerably blown when he reached the valley where Quick lived . "After buying the lot, Quick put up the usual shelter of men who begin life, in the woods, apd mpved into it with his aged wife. It was in a deep valley and so overshadowed by huge trees that the sun could not penetrate to his root. The contrast between this and their old home was sad and gloomy, and had a very depressing influence upon Mrs. Quick. He at once went to work on the trees which surrounded his house, and wjien he cut them down, fearing that they would fall upon the building and crush his wife beneath the wreck, he caused hex to go to a safe plane, where she watched his proceedings and shed- such tears as only the for saken and forlorn can shed. "Mr. Quick cleared field after field, built the first saw mill of the town, found a ready home market for his grain, hay and lumber, and was once .more a prosperous man, whom his fellow townsmen delighted to honor with office. 'A. village sprung up in his neighborhood ; he was surrounded by neighbors, some of whom were iiis 'own children ; he built a comfortable house ; had flocks, orchards and fertile fields ; but the old wife was mouldering among the ideeaying roots of the forest that had so recently clothed the bills and valleys of Callicoon. She did not long survive their removal to Sullivan. "Mr. Quick subsequently married again, and bought and. cleared another farm. He also buDt a second mill. His new property was situated on the North Branch. While improving it with his accustomed energy, he was prostrated by paralysis. During the last years of his life he was a helpless invalid, and suffered much mental distress, because he was bedridden." The first settler in Youngsville was Samuel M. Young, from whom the place derives its name, who camejn from Liberty, in 1834, and erected a log house, sixteen by thirty feet, near where the house now occupied by Henry Inderlied stands. He erected a saw mill the following' year, the first one at that place, and subsequently built and kept the first store in the 126 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. town at Youngsville. John B. Spencer settled here the same year, and built the first blacksmith shop and auger manufac tory. When the post office was established in 1851, he was made postmaster. In 1833-4 settlers began* to come in from Connecticut and the north ; and in 1840, the Germans settled here in considerable numbers, and added vastly to the material wealth and prosperity of the town. In 1846, A- Hardenburgh and the Gortons built a saw mill on the Middle Branch of the Callicoon, about two miles north of Youngsville, which was destroyed two years after by a freshet. In 1848, Mr. Harden burgh moved- his family into the town and settled at Youngs ville. After two years had elapsed he built another mill and a turning shop, about a mile further south, on the same stream, where his present mill now stands. This second mill was greatly damaged by the freshet of 1855. Thos. S. Ward loca ted at Jeffersonville in 1839, when there were but two other families there, those of Jacob D. Schermerhorn and his son John B. Schermerhorn. Mr. Ward erected one of the first frame dwellings. Jacob Schermerhorn moved from Schoharie county and located on the south side of Callicoon Creek in 1838. He built a loghouse, whiqh was the first one in Jeffer sonville. Frederick Schiedell, a German, who immigrated to New York three years before, moved to Jeffersonville in 1840, and occupied a log house built by Schermerhorn'sson, and which stood, on the site of Mr. Schiedell's blacksmith shop, Abraham Schneider, frpm Germany, came here in 1842, and built the first saw mill at this place. Charles Langhorn built the first hotel and store, and the first frame building in 1846. The hotel was the first building painted in the village. It was repaired in the fall of 1871, and is now occupied by Egler Bros, as a hotel. This was the first* hotel in the town. The first public house at Youngsville, was built by D. D. Quick, about 1851, on the site of the hotel now owned by T. Doucher; and the first grist mill was built by P. Bieling at the same place, and in the same year, until which time the settlers were obliged to carry their grain to Neversink or Liberty. After four Or five years the old mill was abandoned, and a new one built on the site of the present one. The settlement of Callicoon Center was commenced about thirty years ago 'by the Royce Bros. The first store at this place was built by Bobef t M. Grant, in 1849 ; the first hotel, by A. Thurman, in 1852 ; the first'grist mill, by A. Sanders, in 1854 ; and the first saw mill, by P. W illianysi in 1848. 'Stephen Eecker, one of the first settlers on the North Branch, moved from Newburgh in 1842, and settled about a mile below Thurmansville. The same year Nicholas Zieres settled on the GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 127 ridge, about one-half mile from North Branch. He built a log house, and kept bachelor's hall for two years. L. Stewart, a Scotchman, moved with his family from Massachusetts, and located on the farm he now occupies, near North Branch, in 1842. He built a log house and remained two years, when he returned to Massachusetts, where he worked five years and secured suf ficient to pay for his farm at North Branch, on which he moved. Henry Becker and John Stie,b came here the same year, and located near North Branch, Joseph Smith moved from Lex ington, (Greene Co.,) and located at North Branch in 1847. At that time this locality was marked by a dense wilderness ; pigeons' nests were very numerous in the tops of trees which grew on the site of the village of North Branch ; the streams contained a good supply of trout and the forests an abundance of game, making this locality one of unusual attractiveness to the hunter, . The first school at North Branch was taught by Mary Hunt, in a house owned, by Henry Cannon ; and in his barn was held the first church service. A Mr. Merritt of Kingston, (Ulster Co.,) built the first saw mill at North Branch in 1843 ; Clemons and — — Stewart, the first store ; and —. — Vandervort, the first blacksmith shop. A. B. Baker drove \the first two-horse wagon into North Branch, with a load of goods, in 1845. Wm. Indetflied & Co., early settlers, carried on an extensive tanning business here which contributed largely to .the growth of the village. Another tannery, located about one mile south of the village, and controlled by Babcock, also exerted a marked influence upon its growth and prosperity. Both these tanneries have discontinued business, owing to the exhaustion of the supply of hemlock bark in their vicinity. «. < The first road in Callicoon was laid out August 10, 1807, at the expense of Jacob Eadcliff, John DeWitt, Theron Wood and Wm. Taylor. This was the old road leading from the Wood Settlement, through Youngsville and Robinsonville to Liberty. Callicoon furnished its full quota of soldiers during the war of the Rebellion, mostly by voluntary enlistments, in various organizations, such as the 28th, 56th and 143d N.Y. Infty., and the 2d N. Y. Heavy Artillery, but principally in the 143d. It furnished two officera, viz : Capt. E. H. Pinney, who was pro moted to Major; and Lieift. Marcus Prasier, who died of typhoid fever soon after entering the service. Wm. T. Mor gans, who enlisted under Capt. Pinney, as private, was promoted to 1st Lieutenant. A large number were killed and wounded, and many died in the service from malignant diseases. 138 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. The Presbyterians seem to have taken the initiative in reli gious matters in the town; though there is a' conflict of authority respecting who was the pioneer preacher.* The German Presbyterian Church, located at Jeffersonville, was organized with forty members, in 1842, by Rev. Sans, who waB its first pastor, as German Evangelical, and was received in the Presbyterian Synod in 1855\ Their house of worship was erected in 1846 ; and will seat 180 persons. The present pastor is Adolph Rahn ; the present number of mem bers, seventy ; and the value of Church property^ $2,800.f The 'Saint George (German Catholic,) Church, located at Jef fersonville, was organized by Rev. Ranfeisen) in 1843, with thirty members. Its first pastor was Father Roesh. At pres ent its pulpit is supplied by a New York missionary. They erected their house of worship in 1860, at a cost of $1,000. It will seat 300 persons. The present membership is eighty ; and the value of the Church property, $2,000. The First Presbyterian Church of Collikoon, located at Youngsville, was organized May 7, 1844, with eleven members. The first house of worship was erected in 1846; the present one, which will seat 200 persons, in i860, at a cost of $1,000. , The. estimated, value of Church property is $2,000. Rev. John Mole was its first pastor ; at present its pulpit is vacant. It has forty members. * The Reformed Church, of Callicoon, was organized Jan. 31, 1856, by Revs. Ten Eyck and Bentlev, and Elder A. B. Preston, with twenty-two members. Rev. T. Hones was the first pastor. The Church edifice occupied by this society, was' erected in 1854, at an 'expense of about $700; and will seat .about 200 persons. The property oi the Church is valued at * French, in his Gazetteer of the State of New York, p. 644, states that Rev. Mr. HcClary, pastor of the Associate Beformed Church of Bethel, was the first preacher ; while James E. Quinlan, in his History of Sullivan Co., extracts from which appear in the Local Record, of March 18, 1870, affirms that Beacon Owens, also a Presbyterian, who lived at the mouth of the Callicoon, is entitled to the honor which this office confers. Speaking of Deacon Owens, Quinlan Bays : " He held religions eervlce once a month at the house of Edward Wood, and was paid one dollar and twenty-five cents for each sermon, or fifteen dollars per year I We believe there was no direct road to his station at Wood's. He must have performed the journey through the forest, guided by marked trees. In the winter, when the snow was deep and the thermometer several degrees -below zero, the trip was very toilsome and hazardous. But he met with a kind and warm reception, and had guileless and willing hearers, who received the Gospel as he preached it, with gladness. Hie salary was small : but he was not governed by the rule 'poor pay, poor preaching.' His hearers rewarded him according to their means, and he was more anxious to win souls than dollars. He laid the foundation for a religions society of that neighborhood which can reward its clergy more liberally than did his hearers. ' "The first church of Callicoon was between John Royce' s and R. C. Bumsey's. About the year 1860, a majority of the congregation finding Youngsville a more central point, had their services continued in that village." - +The first Presbyterian Church, erected in Jeffersonville in 1846, was, we are in formed, blown down before it was fairly completed, and the present church was not built until two or three years afterwards.

Church, located at Callicoon Center, was organized in 1866, by Rev. Klink, its first pastor, with six members. The Church ^edifice, which will seat 150 persons, was erected in 1868, at a cost of $1,000. The Church property is at present' valued at $1,100. The present pastor is Rev. Wm. Schlitter ; and the membership, eight. The M.t E. Church, located at North Branch, was organized with thirty members, in Aug. 1861, by Re*v. Wm. A. Hughson, who was the first pastor. The Church edifice, which will seat 250 persons, was erected in 1869, at a cost of $2,000, which is the present value ,of Church property. There are fifteen mem bers, and Rev. Wm. Coombs is the pastor. COCHECTON* was formed from Bethel, March 25, 1828. Delaware was taken off March 1, 1869. It is situated upon the bank of the Delaware, in the west part of the County. Ridges of hills, with narrow valleys between, cover the entire surface of the town. The principal stream is Ten Mile River, which has its rise in this town, by several smaller streams and ponds. Mitchell Pond in the north, Perry Pond in the south and Lake Huntington in the center, are- the principal sheets of water. The former gives rise to a small stream which flows west into the Delaware. A large part of the surface is still covered with forests, principally of hemlock and pine. The soil is composed of clay and red slate, and is best adapted to pastur age. The streams and ponds abound with fish. The N. Y. & Erie R. R., extends along the western border. According to the census of 1870, the town then had a popula tion of 1,480* most of whom are engaged in lumbering and tanning. The town has, according to the Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors for 1871, an area of 22,993 acres. During the year ending Sept; 30, ,1871* the town contained nine school districts, and employed nine teachers. The num ber of children of school age was 630 ; the number attending school, 437; the average attendance, 175; and the value of school houses and sites, $3,045. • Cochecton' (p. v.) is beautifully situated on the east bank of the Delaware, and on 4he N.

It contains two "stores, one hotel, one -shoe shop, a cabi net shop, several small shops representing various industries, fifteen dwellings and about ninety inhabitants. Delaware Lodge, No. 561, of F. & A. M., at Cochecton, was in stituted in 1864, by Joseph E. Chaffee of Binghamton.* The Adelphi Lodge, No. 240, I. 0. of G.

The. lodge is in a flourishing condi tion. Cochecton Center, (p. o.) formerly known as Stevensburgh, is located south-east of the center, six miles, south-east of Co checton, and contains a tannery, blacksmith shop, one store, a school house, a shoe shop, a wagon shop and about fifteen dwell ings. The tannery is owned by Horton Knapp & Co., and was built by P. A. Stephens in 1850. It employs thirty men, Con sumes annually 5,000 cords of bark and tans about 40,000 sides of sole leather. : FosTEBDAiJs,!

The tannery was built by Paul Seelig, in 1860. Its dimensions are thirty by fifty feet. Settlements were begun on the Delaware prior to the Revo lution, but were broken* up. The pioneer settler was N. Mitchell, who located near Cochecton Village. Oliver Calkin came in from Springfield, Conn., at an early day. He pur chased three thousand acres of land and began a settlement. He subsequently sold one-fourth of this tract to Nathan Mitchell, and another fourth to John and Elias Conklin, Calkin was drowned at the head of Big Pine flat, in the Delaware River, in 1782.

Gidney, in the village of Cochecton, March 3, 1829.* Though the settlements in this town commenced prior to the Revolution, th'ey were so meager that the influence and im pressions of that period, so far as they concern it, are of little historic moment. Not so, however, was its participation in the war of the Rebellion.f * At this meeting It was " Resolved that this town will elect three Assessors, two Constables, one Collector, four fence viewers." The following named persons were elected to the offices designated : James C Curtis, Supervisor; Moses Calkin, Town Cleric; Nathan Moutthroot, Alfred Nearing and Moses Calkin, Assessors; John Hill, James Boss and David Young, Commissioners of Highways ; Squire Marsn, Bezaleel Calkin and Clark Brown, Commissioners of Com mon Schools; Chas. Wipple, John F. Avery and Wm. Brown, Inspectors of Common Schools ; Stephen Mitchell and George Hill, Overseers of the Poor; Stephen W. Gidney and George Hill, Constables; Stephen W.

Thb North Branch of the Callicoon enters the town near the center of the north line, and, pursuing a south-west direction, v empties into the main branch about one* and one-fourth miles from its confluence with the Delaware. The mouth of the Callicoon is 777 feet above tide. This town has suffered to some, extent from the freshets which have visited the Callicoon. A correspondent writing from Callicoon Depot, says, in regard, to the freshet of 1855, in the North Branch : " The mill dams of Lewis & Quick, on the North Branch, were swept away. Mills much damaged and great loss of lumber. Horton Curtis & Co.'s mill is all swept away, together with the dam. Their leather factory had a narrow escupe. Wm. H. Curtis has lost a large amount of lumber in the log. The boom in the dam broke and his.logs were allow ed to pass over and thence into the river without the aid of a steersman." Pike Pond,* in the south-east corner, is the only considerable sheet of water in the town. Much of the surface is still covered with forests, especially along the margin of the Dela ware. But these are gradually disappearing as new accessions to its population . are made. The soil is mostly a gravelly loam, and best adapted to pasturage. Lumbering and tanning form the leading branches of industry. 1 In 1870,. as appears from the census of that year, the popu lation of the town was 1,998. , .

The tannery is owned by Gideon "Wales. It em ploys thirty men, consumes annually 3,000 cords of bark, and tans 30,000 sides per annum. Beech Wood (p.o.) is located a little north-east of the center of the town. Falls Mill (p. o^) is located on the Callicoon, near the south line. Hoetontille is a small village, situated on the North Branch of the Callicoon, about two miles from Callicoon Depot, from which place it receives its mail. The Hortonville Carriage Factory and Blacksmithing Works, located here, give employment to six men. They are owned by', Messrs. Gardner, Osterhout & Go., who are doing a flourishing business. The tannery at this place, owned by Henry Gardner, * and run by Geo. ,W. Darby, employs eight persons, annually consumes! about 1,000 cords, of bark, and tans about 10,000 sides. Settlements were made in this town prior to the Revolution, but they were dispersed by the marauding and hostile Indians > during that period. Joseph Ross, who is believed to have been the first settler, moved here from Somerset Co., New Jersey, about 1768, and settled on tbe farm now owned by Alfred Tyler. During the Revolutionary war he extended a generous hospitality toward the Indians, but the latter mistrusted him, ; and from certain indications which led him to believe that ' unless' he removed to a less exposed section of the country he ' would soon share the fate of most of the isolated settlers along the Delaware, who had fallen victims to the rapacity or brutal butchery of the hostile Indians, he was admonished to leave the perils which surrounded him in his new home and repair to a safer locality. Accordingly one night after the Indians had disappeared, he quietly buried his goods and started with his family, in a pine canoe down the Delaware to the mouth of the GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 135 Neversink, near Port Jervis. From there he proceeded to Deer- park, Orange Co., where troops were stationed. When he returned to his fstrm his buildings were in ruins, but the things he had buried he found as he left them. : Among the early settlers were David Young, at Big Island;* and John Ross, at Callicoon Creek. - Charles Layton moved into the town from Somerset -Co., New Jersey, in 1796, and located on, the Callicoon, on a farm afterwards owned by Geo. P. Garyhart. John Layton, son of Charles, was born the fol lowing year, and is now living. The first saw mill was built in 1815, by Edward G. Griswold; near the mouth of the Callicoon, where Appley's mill now stands. The second mill was built at Pike Pond, by Nathan Moulthrop. About fifteen, years later the first regular grist mill was. built at Pike Pond, by Wm. Bonesteel, There was, however, a " little tub mill" built near where Appley's mill stands, but it was only a temporary affair.f The Methodists seem to havev been first to initiate an organ ized religious movement, and to crystallize their religious con victions by the erection of an edifice in which to conduct their devotional exercises. The M. E. Church, located at Pike Pond, was organized by Rev. John Davy, who was its first pastor, but in what year1 is not known, though doubtless prior to 1850, as in that year its house of worship, which will seat 130 persons, was erected, at a cost of $1,400. Its present pastor is J. W. Banta. The Church property is valued at $1,500. The Reformed Church, located at Jeffersonville, was organized with twenty-four members, by Rev.

Austin Strong, and Palen & Adams, began tanning about 1831, at Fallsburgh. At that time what were considered large establishments, were able to tan from 10,000 to 16,000 hides; but now the large ones can tan 86,000 hides. The tanning business, at Fallsburgh, was discontinued about ten years ago, for want of bark ; and on Monday morning, Nov. 6, 1871, the tannery at Sandbnrgh was burnedand'Will probably not be rebuilt.

The tunnel is cut through solid rock, the stratification of which is so even that the roof is nearly per fectly smooth. The railroad crosses the Neversink on a bridge elevated sixty feet above the water. It is approached by trestle work. The united length of trestle and bridge is about 1,700 feet. The settlement of this town was commenced, it is believed, pre vious to the Revolution, by Germans, who were driven off during- that war.* Soon after peace was declared, three brothers by the name of Baker located in town and commenced the first per manent settlement. Thomas Rawson came in 1787" or '88. Thomas Grant came in 1789 to view the country, and was so well pleased that he induced his father, Joshua Grant, (who was formerly from Scotland, but for some time a resident of Con necticut,) to move west. The following year Mr. Grant, with his wife and three of his sons, Joshua Jr., Ephraim and Nathan, settled at Hasbrouck. They first stopped at" Thunder Hill, in a house in whose construction not a board was used, it being made of logs and slabs. His son William came in 1796.f Samuel, Thaddeus and ObediahJ Brown, and James Hill settled a little north of Fallsburgh, and James Nicoll, Peter Ferden and Mr. Brush on the site of the village. Peter Van Leuven built a grist mill near Woodbourne in 1793. Seth Gillett built a saw mill at Hasbrouck the same year. The first store at the Falls was keptby Hermon Buggies and Henry Reed, in 1808, and a grist mill in 1809. Archibald Jarr kept an inn at Dennistons Ford in 1797. An extraordinary and destructive flood occurred in this valley in 1796 or '97, which swept away the crops and compelled the inhabitants to flee to the hills.§ Among the early settlers were Abram "Warring; from Westchester Co., Stafford D.

Abner Seeley and his son Oliver came in 1809. Mr. Seeley was a millwright and miller, and came for i;he purpose of building the mills. He was the first miller, and was succeeded by his 'son Oliver, and his grandson Horace, the present incum bent of the Fallsburgh Mill. With the exception of one year, when the office was performed by a man named Dickinsonj'tljey are the only millers who have been employed in this mill. In 1797, the nearest mill was atNapanoch,(UlsterCo.,) and for many years the nearest market was Newburgh. Peter Misner came from New Jersey in the spring of 1787, and settled about one mile north of Woodbourne. He had at that time thirteen children, (and one was subsequently born to him,) one of whom, Henry, is now living on the old farm, aged 87, the oldest man living- in town. His second wife is now 81 years old. She came from Ballston; Saratoga County. Major Josiah Depuy, from Rochester, (Ulster Co.,) settled in this town on lot 3 Of the Hardenburgh Patent, in 1793, His son, John H., who was then two years old, is still living near Thunder Hill. Mr. Depuy bought out John Gorton. Brushes, Misner, Henry Osterhout, Clark, and Aaron and Garrett Van Benschoten, from Dutchess County, settled near "Woodbourne, previous to 1793. Joseph Divine, from Plattekill, (Ulster Co.,) settled near Divines Corners in 1795. He was formerly from Connecticut, and served during the French war, as private, under Gen. Am- hurst. Daniel Perry, from Redding, (Fairfield Co., Conn.) now 89 years old, settled in the south part of the town, near the Neversink, in 1805. * j Col. Seely, who struck the first blow in the woods in the village of Fallsburgh, at the falls of the Neversink, used to tell a great many stories of "old Boz," a dog owned by Uriah Hill, one of his neighbors, among which is the following:* — While the Colonel was walking one December day in the woods, near the river, he heard Boz barking and coming towards him. Looking in the direction of the noise, he saw two deer, closely followed by the dog. They passed him in the direction of the river, and the barking soon ceased. While he deliberated what was best to do, he heard the dog coming again, preceded by two more deer, which he chased to the same place as the others. Hearing a deer bleat, the Colonel made his way through the thicket to the river, and there found four deer lying dead within a few rods of each other. ¦ *The substance of this and the following incident are extracts from the writings of J. V. Morrison. 140 ' GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. During the early settlement of the town, bears and other wild animals abounded in large" numbers. To rid the country of these uncongenial neighbors and not unfrequently as a direct means of sejf-preservation, thri early settlers often displayed much ingenuity in devising means to aid them in accomplishing this. Many were very successful in catching' bears in pens, which were made square; and constructed of logs, on the side of a hill. The entrance was on the upper side, and the trap.was so arranged that it could only be set and opened on the outside. When the trap was baited the door hung open, so as to admit the entrance of the animal; and when the bait was disturbed the door closed and effectually secured whatever V was inside. Col. , Seely fixed one of these bear pens near the falls of the Neversink, in Fallsburgh. One morning he found in it a cub, which he shot, and setting his gun against -a tree, he opened the trap and entered it to eject the young bear, in doing which he accidently touched the lever connected with the bait, and imprisoned himself with his game. At this instant the old bear made its appearance, and raged furiously. She caught hold of the logs with her powerful fore-paws and tried to pull them apart, at the same time biting off large mouthfulls of bark and wood. Failing in this, she thrust her powerful paws through the crevices and tried to reach the terrified Colonel. As often as the Colonel changed his position, with a view to putting as much distance as was possible between himself and the enraged bear, she made a corresponding change; and by this means worried him almost to death. In the meantime the Colonel made good use of his lungs and was heard by Philander Warring, who hastened to his assistance, and snooting his vigilant sentinel, released him from his prison. When the Colonel regained his freedom, he said, " Well, Phfelan, I think I know how a mouse feels in a wire trap, when a cat 's watching it." •' About 1835, Maj. John D. O'Neill, (now of Monticello,) then about 25 years of age, owned a powerful bulldog, with whose, and his (O'Neill's) younger brother's {who was fifteen years of age,) aid he captured a bear. Coming to the house for dinner one day, the family reported that a bear had just < passed up the road. The trio started in pursuit. The dog soon bounded off at right angles into the woods, thus in- > dicatirig the direction taken by the bear. Following, the Major soon saw the dog bound over a fallen hemlock and im mediately a fight began. The dog had closed with the bear, . and when the Major and his brother arrived, he had him firmly held by the throajk After two or three minutes the bear seemed to give up, when the. Major seized him firmly behind L GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. ¦ 141 the ears, while his brother choked off the dog. The bear now tried to turn upon the Major, who opposed the idea, and, as he desired to secure him alive, he lifted him in his- arms, retaining his hold, and carried him home, about half a mile, carrying him eight or ten rods at a time, and resting, alternately. The bear was a yearling. It died after a few days from injuries in flicted by the dog. The first church (Ref. Prot. D.) was built at Hasbrouck. It was burned in 1837, and rebuilt at Woodbourne. One of the earliest preachers in the town was Stewart. The First M. E. Church of Fallsburgh, located at Fallsburgh village, was organized with from twelve to fifteen rHembers, but at what date is not known. The first pastor was Zephan- iah N.

The streams are the Never sink River, which flows through the east part of the town ; the Mongaup River, a wild and romantic stream, which forms the west boundary, and furnishes a succession of excellent water privileges"; Black Brook, which is a tributary" to the Mongaup ; and Bushkill Creek,f which is tributary to the NeversintJ The town still retains the character implied by its name. The Mongaup Falls, on the Mongaup River, are situated about one and one-half miles south-west of Forestburgh village, in the heart of the forest. Above the falls the river is about four ' rods wide, but at the falls^the rushing waters are confined within less than one-third that space by huge rocks which rise about thirty feet above them.

Saw logs are sometimes caught in them, and, by the action i)t the water, are ground to a point, as if in a turning-lathe. There are also one or two very sharp rocks, on which saw-logB sometimeB strike, and are split in two. t These falls are graphically described in the Poems of Alfred B. Street, Vol. 1, p. 96, from which we extract the following : " Straggling along the mountain path, We hear, amid the gloom, m Like a roused giant's voice of wrath, * v A deep-toned, sullen boom ; ' Emerging on a platform high, Burst sudden to the startled eye Rocks, woods, and waters, wild and rude,— A scene of savage solitude. Swift as an arrow from the bow, Headlong the torrent leaps, l Then tumbling round, in dazzling enow And dizay whirl it sweepB ; Then, shooting through the narrow aisle Of this sublime cathedral pile, Amid its vastness, dark and grim, It peals its everlasting hymn. Pyramid on pyramid of rock Tower upward wild and riven, As piled by Titan hands to mock The distant smiling heaven. ¦ And when its blue streak is displayed, Branches their emerald net-work braid So high, the eagle in his flight Seems but a dot upon the sight. Here columned hemlocks point in air Their cone-like fringes green ; Their trunks hang knotted, black and bare, Like spectres o er the scene; Here, lofty crag and deep abyss, And awe-inspiring precipice ; There, grottos bright in wave-worn gloss, And carpeted with velvet moss*. No wandering ray e'er kissed with light This rock-walled sable pool, Spangled with foam-gems thick and white, And slumbering deep and cool ; But where yon cataract roars down, Set by the sun, a rainbow crown Is dancing o'er the dashing strife,— Hope glittering o'er the storm of life. Beyond, the smooth and mirrored sheet So gently steals along. The very ripples, murmuring sweet, Scarce drown the wild bear's song ; The violet from the grassyside Dips its blue chalice in the tide ; And, gliding o'er the leafy brink, The deer, unfrightened, Btoops to drink." 144 ' GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. Lumbering, tanning, quarrying and dairying constitute the principal employments of the people. Nearly the whole length of the Bushkill Creek, "the mountains oh either side are up held by thetfinest, most easily developed, and inexhaustible quarries of flagging, curbing and building stone, any where to be found on the globe. In variety, texture and quality, they exceed the famous quarries of Kingston, Rondout, Saugerties, along the Hudson River, which, having enriched the communi ties where they exist, are becoming exhausted, and their opera tors are purchasing quarry territory on the line of this deposit"* The opening of the Monticello, & Port Jervis R. R., which en ters the town on the north border and extends through it in a southerly direction, alofig the valley of Bushkill Creek, run ning through the heart of this rich deposit of stone, must stimulate the development of this vast source of wealth, which has lain comparatively dormant in the absence of an adequate means of transportation. The lumbering and tanning interests, which are extensive along this creek, must also be largely stim ulated by the additional facilities thus afforded for transporting their valuable products to market. This town has an area of 33,306 acres, of which, according to the census of 1865, 3,994: were improved and 29,312, unim proved. The population of "the town in 1870 was 916.

A deep gorge winds upward, and forth with a bound The cataract's pitch shakes its thnnder around ; It comes from its shadowed and prison-like glen With a leap and a roar, like a lion from den ; Wild fir-trees, contorted as fixed in some spasm, And tall bristling pines adding gloom to the chasm, One grim mass of gloom, webbed below with a screen. The cataract casting white flashes between, As though a mad monster in torments beneath Were now and then grasping the boughs with his teeth. * * * » * * * * when sweep The torrents white plunges, bold leap upon leap, First winding, then bounding, once more and once more, ' Till each voice is blent in one agony-roar. * * * * * » ° *' * » i * A glance of the sun the white torrent has kissed, And see 1 a rich rainbow is spanned o'er the mist ; The flood seems as fierce springing at us, then lost In a high foaming hillock convulsively tossed." *Hand-Book Brie B.

Forest Glen is a hamlet in the west part, located on Black Brook, and contains a grist and saw milL hotel, wagon, and blacksmith shop, eight houses and about thirty inhabitants. Habtwood (p. v.)* is situated on the Bushkill, and is the principal station in the town pn the M. & P. J. R. R. It con tains a store, saw mill, turning and planing mill, fifteen dwell- 1 ings and eighty inhabitants. Hartwood, with 3,600' acres of land surrounding it, is owned by Thomas Clapham of L6ngy1 Island, On this land are valuable deposits of stone, but as yet no attempt has been made to utilize it. The inhabitants "are principally engaged in lumbering,' and the industries growing out of it. About 200,000 feet of lumber are annually manufac tured. In the thrnihg mill are manufactured fringe boards, ribbon and belt blocks and warp rolls for the use of silk factories. ' Gillman's Station, (p. o.) on the M- & P- J. R- R-, near the , north part, contains a store, a new school house, thirty-two houses,. Gillman's steam saw mill, the most extensive one in the town, (which, has a gang of twenty-two saws; employs from eighty to two hundred men ; receives timber from a four thousand acre tract of land owned by Mr. Gillman ; and annu ally manufactures from three to four million feet of lumber, which is shipped to New York,) and about one hundred inhab itants. A tannery is soon to be erected here. Oakland (Oakland Valley p. o.) is located at the confluence of the Neversink and Bushkill, in the south-east corner, and is a station on the M. & P. J. R. R. It contains a church, (M. E.) a store, two saw mills, a grist mill, a tannery„two blacksmith shops, a wheelbarrow manufactory, a lath mill, a toll bridge across the Neversink, (owned by the Oakland Bridge Co.,) . thirty-five houses and about one-hundred and. ten inhabitants. Messrs. O. B. Wheeler & Sons of Oakland do an extensive business. They are engaged, in addition to their store business, in lumbering, quarrying and tanning,, in which they employ . two huiidred men. The tannery is on the Bushkill, which^ furnishes the motive power;. It employs 100 vats, and con-' sumes 1,600 cords of bark in' the manufacture of about 16,000 sides of oak-tanned leather. They quarry and ship about four car loads of stone each day. This branch of their business is i constantly, increasing. A ready market is found in $"ew Ybrk for the products of both the tannery and the quarry. 146 • GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. The Wheelbarrow Manufactory of Ketchum & Bro. at Oak land, employs from fifteen to twenty men, consumes about 250,000 feet of lumber- and turns out from1 12,000 to 15,000 wheelbarrows per annum. New York is the principal market. Babnums Station is on the M. & P. J. R. R, near the north line of the town. At this point is a saw mill owned and operated by Geo. W. Barnum of Monticello, who also owns quite a tract of timber land. The five saw mills of Dodge, Hartwilf & Co. manufacture annually about 700,000 feet of lumber. The Co. employ one man in each mill, who receives a stated sum for each thousand feet of lumber manufactured, and employs such additional help as he may need. They also employ other men to deliver the lumber, who are hired in the same way. The Belford Tannery, located about one mile north of Forest burgh village, on Black" Brook, and owned by Chas. H. Gilder sleeve, was built in .1851, by Dodge, Hartwill & Oo. It was subsequently owned by Gad Wales & Co. sixteen years, and by James Gildersleeve & Co. two years, after which it came into the possession of its present owner. It contains ninety vats, with additional handlers, soaks, pools, &c;; employs about twenty operatives ; consumes annually 3,000 cords of hemlock .bark, and manufactures 25,000 sides of 'sole leather, which is disposed of in New York. Mr. Gildersleeve also has a store, containing a general assortment of merchandise. He annually uses in business about $75,000. The saw mill of Mathews & Williams, located on a small stream in the northern part of the town, annually manufactures 200,000 feet pf lumber and a considerable quantity of lath ; and that Of John Ruddick, adjacent to it, about 150,000 feet. Gillman's Tannery, on the Mongaup, contains 108 vats, 36 handlers and 14 leaches ; employs about a dozen men ; con sumes 1,500 cords of bark per annum; and manufactures 20,000 hides of leather, the market for which is New York. A large gang saw mill was erected just below Mongaup Falls about 1852-3 ; but after running one or two years it was burned. Since then- no use has been made of this splendid water power. Settlement was commenced prior to the Revolution, and was recommenced on the Mongaup in 1795. Zephaniah, Nathan and Luther Drake were pioneers in the south-west part of the town, and Elisha Smith, near Oakland. The. former came in 1.790, at which time there were no public roads in the town. It was an almost unbroken forest, infested with all kinds of wild beasts, which made frequent raids upon the sheep and GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 147 young cattle, and proved a great source of annoyance to the early settlers. Footpaths were cut through, the dense forest. Among the early settlers w'ere ^Stokes, who settled at For estburgh in 1809; Jubal Turbal, who settled at Forest Glen in 1811, and built the grist and saw mills now at that place; Jeremiah Pierson, who settled on Black Brook1 about the same time ; John Lovelace, who came from Dutchess county in 1811; Archibald Mills,* who came from Goshen, (Orange Co.,) in July, 1819, as agent for Geo. D. Wickham, who owned a large tract of land in the town ; David Horton, who came in 1818 ; James Ketchum, who settled at Oakland in 1824, at which time there was but one house there ; James Dill, who came from Orange' county in 1825, when the town was nearly a wil derness and contained only one public road, when the forests were full of game and the streams well supplied with trout, perch, catfish and eels ; and Wm. Wells, who settled near For estburgh in 1827. > Miss Moore taught the first school at Drakestown. S. Conant kept the first inn, and Thos. Alsop, the first store, at Forestburgh. The first saw mill was built at Oakland, at the' mouth of the Bushkill, in 1780, by people from the village of Minisink, in Orange county. > . Rev. Isaac Thomas (Meth.) was the first preacher in the town. The M. E. Church, located at Forestburgh, was organized in 1838, by Rev. D. Buck, with twenty members. The first pastor was Rev. Enos Greene; the present one is A. L. Smith. The first and present house of worship was erected in 1859, previ ous to which time there was no church in the town, meetings being held in the school house. The original cost of the church edifice, which will seat 300 persons, was $1,5.00. The present value of Church property is $3,000. There are now fifty members. The Presbyterian organization existed previous to the Methodist, and the Congregational still . exists and is* minis tered to by Rev. Felix Kite. Neither of the latter organizar tions have church edifices. The latter uses the house erected by the Methodists. *We are indebted to Mr. Mills for much of the information here given in regard to the early history of this town. He is now eighty years old, has resided in the town since 1819, and has surveyed most of the land in it; He tells the following amusing anecdote: At one time twenty-eight men, some of whom were then strangers to Mr. Mills; were on a hunting excursion at a place called " Bush Eidee." Mr. Mills shot at a deer, which he only wounded. One of the party, whose dog had been shot, on learn ing that Mills had discharged his grin, stumbled towards him, falling and " filling " his gun with rotten wood as ne did so, and accused him of shooting his dog. He was seconded by one of his companions, who added, " any man that will shoot a dog, ought to be shot himself."' Mr. Mills replied that he would go forty rods off and they might shoot as long as they pleased. But they concluded not to try this expedient of settling the dispute, and the party went in search of the deer Bhot by Mr. Mills, which they soon found dead. 148 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. FREMONT was formed from Callicoon, Nov. 1, 1851, and named in honor of John C. Fremont It lies in the ex treme west part of the Gounty, upoh the bank of the Delaware. . Its surface is broken and hilly, especially in the west and south parts, where the -summits rise from 600 to 1,000 feet above the valley,1 and from" 1,500 to 1,800 above tide. The north-east part is more even, and adapted to grass and spring crops. It is watered by numerous small streams, the principal of which are Basket and Hankins creeks, and' several small lakes, the most important of which are Long, Round and Basket ponds, in the north; Fox Pond in the east; and Trout Pond, near the center. The Erie R. R. extends through the town, along its south-west border, and the bank of the Delaware. According to the census of 1870, the town then contained a population of 2,218, many of whom are' Germans who "can neither read nor write the English language. Their principal occupation is lumbering and tanning. During the year ending Sept. 30, 1871, the town contained eleven school districts and employed the same number of teachers.

Milesville, located on Hankins Creek, nearly equi-distant from Fremont Center and Hankins Station, derives its name from the Messrs. Miles, who operate a tannery* there. In ad dition to the tannery, it contains a store, a blacksmith and wagon shop, a hotel and about thirty dwelling houses, many of which were built and are owned by the Messrs. Miles. Obeenburgh, located about two miles east from Fremont Center, in the east part, contains one hotel, a brewery, a grocery, a school, a church, (Catholic) and ten dwelling houses. The. inhabitants in this part of the town are mostly German. The first settlers were Joseph Green, at Long Eddy, John Hankins, at .Hankins Station, Benjamin Misner, at Long Pond, and Zach.

How shrieked in vain babe, wife, and sire, As hatchet, scalping-knif e, and fire Proclaimed their bloody foes ; Until the boldest quailed to mark, Wrapped round the woods, Night's mantle dark. " At. length the fisher furled his sail I Within the sheltered creek,, The hunter trod his forest trail The mustering band to seek ; The settler cast his axe away And grasped his rifle fqr the fray ; All came revenge to wreak, With the rude arms that chance supplied, — And die, or conquer, side by side. " Behind the footsteps of their foe They rushed; a gallant throng, Burning with haste to strike a blow For each remembered wrong ; Here on this field of Minisink, Fainting they sought the river's brink, Where cool waves gushed along ; No sound within the woods they heard, But murmuring wind and warbling bird. " A scream ! — 'tis but the panther's ; naught Breaks the calm sunshine there ; A thicket stirs ! — a deer has sought , From sight a closer lair ; Again upon the grass they droop, When burst close round, the well-known whoop, Shrill, deafening on the air ; And onward from their ambush deep, Like wolves the savage warriors leap. " In vain upsprung that gallant band And seized their weapons by, Fought eye to eye, and hand to hand, Alas ! 'twas but to die ; In vain the rifle's deadly flash Scorched eagle plume and wampum sash ; The hatchet hissed on high, And down they fell in crimson heaps, Like, the ripe corn the sickle reaps.

Walnut Hill, south of Liberty Village, is 2,130 feet above tide, and Liberty Village, 1,467. The former is one of the highest peaks in the Blue Mountain range, (as the principal ranges of mountains which traverse this section of the County were originally known, apd from which the first settle ment in Liberty received its name,) and is the highest in the County. The town is watered by the Mongaup and its tribu taries in the south, and the Little Beaver Kill and its tribu- raries in the north. The former rise near the center, and flow southward ; while the latter, also rising near the center, flow northward. The principal sheets of water are Lily Pond* in the north, Brodhead Pondf in the center, and Steyensville Pond in the south. The soil is good, but stony. For agricultural purposes this town is one of the best in the County. Dairying and stock raising form the chief pursuits of the farmers. Lumbering and tanning occupy the inhabitants to a good degree, but not to that extent they have heretofore done. The lumber and bark has been mostly cut off, the principal remaining tracts being in the west part of the town. The town covers an area of 41,672} acres, of which, accord ing to the census of 1865, there were then 16,626J acres improved, and 25,046 unimproved. This disproportion of im proved land has been largely diminished however since then, as many new roads have been opened and* large quantities of land brought under cultivation, or.cleared preparatory thereto. The population of the town in 1870, was, according to the census of that year, 3,389. During the year ending Sept. 30, 1871, the town contained nineteen school districts^ and employed twenty teachers.

Broadhead was opening a road from Neversink to his 3,000 acre tract in the Blue Mountain country, as it was then called. " He offered to give Larabee a deed for a lot of one hundred acres on the Blue Mountain, and a lease of three' other lots for twenty years free from rent, on the sole consideration that he settled on and im proved the land." Larabee accepted this offer, sold his land on Thunder Hill, in Neversink, to Phineas Booth, and the same year, 1794, moved to the 3,000 acre tract. Within a year or two he sold the lease of one of the lots of one hundred acres to John Vail for $700, and another to a Quaker named Earl for a like amount. The price received for the leases was more than the fee simple was worth. Larabee, under the direction of and for Mr. Broadhead, erected the first saw mill in the town, on the outlet of Broadhead Pond in 1797. It was built of logs and hewn timber. After its completion he sawed logs for the first grist mill, which he also built the same year. The mill was tended by Hulse. It was burned and subse quently rebuilt by Mr. Broadhead. At the end of four or five years Larabee sold his remaining interest in this tract to Daniel S. Stewart, from Bockland, in 1798, and moved to Saratoga Co., and subsequently to the western part of the State. John Vail,- the second settler, came from Deer Park, Orange Co. John Gorton, from Connecticut, came in 1795, having previously, in 1793, located with his cousins, Thomas and William Grant, in Fallsburgh. Nathaniel Pinney and Josiah Whipple came from Preston, Conn., in the fall of 1795, * Our informant speaks of this section thus facetiously : " The north-western portion of the town of Liberty is commonly known as Egypt, an appellation, the origin of which is accounted for as follows .-—Some thirty year's ago, one Elias Hall, an early Bettler, had a barn raising, with the necessary accom paniment, a " Bee.' As night came on the laborers ceased from their work and talked of betaking themselves to their respective homes ; but the voice of the majority was in favor of sleeping where they were, as there was danger of straying— the night being pronounced to be as 'black as Egypt.' Those who officiated at the christening still stoutly maintained that ' sich a dark night war never heerd tell on in these parts,' yet there are not wanting those who assert that there was nothing unusual touching the dark ness of the night, but Insinuate that there is reason for believing the alleged natural phenomenon to have been augmented, if not created, by the repeated attentions paid to a certain stone jar which figured prominently on the occasion. Be that as it may, this modern Egypt would appear to be not entirely without its plague, a hollow in the upper part bearing the rather suggestive title of ' Skeetersburg.f " Indignation meetings have been held, with a change of name for their object, but without success. ' Pleasant Valley,' ' Dingle Daisy,' and other attractive cognomens have been urged in vain upon tne natives, who, true to their first love, still cling tenaciously to their beloved ' SkeeterBburg.' " 162 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. «•" . ' ' and settled on lot 12. A family by the name of Bussell, also from Connecticut, came in the fall of the same year and settled near them. Nathan Stanton Sr. came from Preston, Conn., in 1796, and purchased a lot which had previously been partially cleared by Thomas Grant. Edward Swan,- Isaiah Whipple, Ebenezer Gaer, Hulse and Elijah and Isaac Carrier came the same year; and Ebenezer Green about the same time. Swan settled on lot 3 ; Green, on lot 4 ; and Whipple, on lot 10, of the 3,000 acre tract. Stephen, Ichabod and Frederick Benton, from Connecticut, located at Benton Hollow, in 1796. Stephen bought eight hundred acres of the Hardenburgh Patent. Mrs. Julia Carrier,* daughter of Stephen Benton, now in her 86th year, is living about a mile north of Liberty. She says that in 1804 there were but two houses in the village of Liberty, one of which was occupied by Boswell and John Bussell and Elijah Carrier; the other by Jason Fish, who settled here in 1798. The three former built the first ' mill at the village. Wm. Ayers came at the same time, and Robert Maffit, a youth of twenby years, soon after. The latter was a great hunter and it is said that in 1860 he estimated the number of deer he had killed at at least one thousand, besides several elk and other wild beasts almost innumerable. Thomas Crary, from Stonington, Conn., came here with his family in 1801, and located about one mile south of Liberty. His son Calvert, who is 74 years old, is now living a little east of the village of Liberty. Boswell Bussell commenced a settle ment at Liberty Falls in 1807, and built a saw mill in that year. The next year he sold the property to Luther Buckley. Wm. Knight (now residing at Youngsville) came from Orange Co., in 1808, and settled at Liberty Falls. He is now ninety years old. Stephen A. Gregory moved with his family from Fairfield Co., Conn., in 1809, and* located about a mile west of Liberty Falls. His eldest son, Abel Gregory Sen., who is now residing on the same farm, was then nine years old. When eleven years old he commenced attending school during the winter in Conn., proceeding there on foot, with satchel in hand, in the fall, and returning in the spring to work with his father. This he re peated every year until he acquired an education which enabled him to impart to the youth of his own town the advantages he labored so hard to attain. But little more was done in the vicinity of Liberty Falls until about 1825-6, when Isaac Horton, Who moved from Delaware Co., in company with Luthet Buck ley, built the first grist mill at that place. It was at one time called Hortonville. *From her, Wm. Eatcliff and Jas. E. Quinlan; we have obtained much of the in formation pertaining to the early history of this town. Many others in the town have laid us under similar obligation. GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 163 The date of the first settlement of Parksville remains in un certainty, but it is believed that Lemuel Martin and Eber Hall located there in 1800. Crossman White, a deaf and dumb man, settled there at an early day. Shortly afterward the Park family located there and engaged in active business. " They built mills and made many improvements, entirely throwing Mr. Martin into the shade. The place was named by the peo ple after the enterprising Messrs. Park, much to the chagrin of Mr. Martin, who expected it to be nahied after him as the first pioneer." » The first school was taught at the Blue Mountain Settle ment, about 1797, by Aviar Whipple, daughter of Isaiah Whip ple, " In a little shanty, roofed with bark, near the house since occupied by Amos Shaw." The fact that for many years Webster's Speller was the only book used there;, furnishes a striking illustration of the superiority of the advantages for acquiring an education which the present residents of Liberty possess when contrasted with those possessed by the early set tlers in the town. As early as 1799, Liberty enjoyed the attentions of a physician. In that year Dr. Blake Wales com menced the practice of medicine in Neversink and Liberty, and visited the Blue Mountain Settlement. At that time, the Dr. recollects, Liberty contained two log houses, one of which stood where the dwelling of Stephen Stanton was subsequently erected and where T F. Bush now resides, the other where the Midland Hotel now Btands. Isaac and Elijah Carrier and John and Roswell Russell carried on the carpentering business in com pany, and erected most of the frame houses and barns of that period in the toWn. They also built a saw mill, and subse quently a grist mill near the site of Robert Humphrey's mill. They afterward became prominent men in the town. The widow of Elijah Carrier, Who is 83 years old, is still living a little north of Liberty. Roswell Russell built and kept the first tavern in the town, in 1800. It was located in the village of Liberty, on the site of the residence of Timothy F. Bush. Luther Buckley kept the first store, or the place which first aspired to that title, in 1807, where the .Midland Hotel now stands. The next year he procured a license and kept a tavern, at the same place. This locality was long known as "Buckleys." " This town as well as all this region was," says James E. Quin lan, "in those days^the home of Panthers, Wolves^ Bears and other wild animals. A volume might be written concerning the interesting exploits of the hardy hunters, whose delight it was to bring down the ferocious panther, a too neighborly bear or a noble buck. One of these intrepid hunters, and perhaps the most successful Panther Slayer in the county, was Calvin Bush. 164 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. His first encounter with panthers was in 1814, when, in com pany with a neighbor by the name of Hurley, [a panther was hunted and killed.] ' The next day they killed four more. He and his faithful and courageous dog were sent for far and near when a hunt was to come off." He used dressed panther skins for his clothes. In 1822, Caleb Buckley, son of Luther Buck ley, brought to " Buckleys " a much better stock of goods than had previously been brought to this section of the County, and within a year or two thereafter a post office was established at his store. Previous to that time Monticello was the nearest post office. Not until 1828 did Liberty boast of a painted house. In that year, Wm. Ratcliff,* who came from England and located here in 1822, erected a house which he painted himself, there being no painters in his section of the country at that time. This was the first painted house in the village. It stood where Mrs. Kilbourn now resides. Mr. Ratcliff has, since his advent into town, followed uninterruptedly the tailoring business. He is the father of Wm. M. Ratcliff, who was County' Judge in 1862, which office he resigned to enter the army, where he was killed, as before stated.f The first marriage in the town was contracted by David Row land of Neversink, and Aviar Whipple, to whom we have made previous allusion.J The first birth was that of Sally Stanton, in 1797. The first death was that of a child of Wm. Arrey's, in 1798, and resulted from scalds produced by falling into a pot of porridge. Soon after a child of Nathan Stanton's sickened and died. The parents wished to give it a decent burial and, as there were no boards available with which to make a coffin, Mr. Stanton made one from his only sleigh box, and in it the infant was buried. "In 1799," says Quinlan, "the Stanton family were called to mourn the sad death of two other children (sons.) It was on a pleasant day in August, when three of the boys, (including Nathan Jr.,) with their sister, went out to pick blackberries in a fallow on the Blue Mountain; The trees had been girded a few years earlier, and were in a decayed condition. "While the children were engaged in picking berries several of these trees fell without any apparent cause and killed two of the boys and injured the sister. The dead bodies were extri cated and in due time followed to their final resting place, in the original grave yard on the Blue Mountain, by the remain der of the family and their sympathizing neighbors." * Wm. Ratcliff is now 71 years of age, and having with unusual care and effort informed himself in regard to the local history of his town, an acquisition in which he juBtly prides himself, he is perhaps able to give more accurate information respecting it, than any other person in the town. To him we are indebted for much valuable information. tSeepage98.JSee page 163. GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 165 The first town meeting was held at the house of Boswell Russell, April 7, 1807.* The town of Liberty furnished 303 men for the army during the war of the Rebellion, thirty-bne of whom were either killed in battle or died in the service.f Bev. Wm, Randall, a Baptist, was the pioneer preacher in thigtown; but Rev. Alex. Morton, a Methodist, was the first one who visited it regularly. Neither of these, however, seem to have awakened sufficient interest among the members of the denominations to whiGh they belonged to induce the immediate organization of a church. The Presbyterians were the first to organize and to erect a house of worship in which to mingle their devotions. Says Quinlan, speaking of Rev. Mr. Morton, " It was his custom to travel on horseback, sometimes guided by blazed trees and often having to ford streams with which he was not familiar and which were frequently swollen by melting snow or heavy rains. In this way he made his circuit, preaching to the people whenever he could get a gathering of a few people in a log house or barn." Whatever may have been the cause of delay in the organization of a church of the denomination he repre sented, it seems clear that it cannot be charged to any lack of zeal on his part. * At this meeting Bobt. Cochran was chosen President of Election, and' Samnel Darbe, teller of votes. The followlngnamed persons were unanimously elected to office,- viz : Daniel Martin, Town Clerk ; Thos.

Also that fence viewers shall be paid at the rate of 37X cents per day." At the meeting held April 6, 1808, among other votes was the following: ' " Voted that Bams shall not run at large from the first day of September to the first day of November of the same year, upon forfeiture of fonr Dollars for every such offense." In 1814 It was voted, " That the sum of five dollars extra be paid to any person being a resident of the town of Liberty for the destruction of any wolf within the bounds of Baid town." r In 1817 the bonnty on " Wolves and all winged fowls " was discontinued ; but in 1822 the bounty on Wolves was raised and a bounty of fifty cents on foxes was also voted. In 1823 it was voted, " That horses, cattle, sheep or hogs shall not be permitted to run at large within one-half mile of a tavern, from the first day of Nov. to the first day of April," the object being to prevent Interference with sleighs or their contents. tThe following is a list oflthe names of the thirty-one referred to : Wm.

James Petrie, who was installed in 1840, was the first pastor °f tfl*s Church. "There have been three church edifices erected by this congregation — the First in 1815 — the Second in 1845 to 1848. These buildings stood about a quarter of a mile out of the present village. .In 1871, the building, being greatly out of repair, was taken down and moved to a site in the center of the village."* The pre sent church will seat 350 persons. " The original cost of the church edifice was $l,200."f The present membership is one hundred, and Rev. J. Napier Husted, the pastor. The Methodist Episcopal Church, at Liberty Village, was organized with twelve or fifteen members about 1814, by Peter P. Sanford, the first pastor; but their church edifice was not erected until 1826. This house was replaced by the present one in 1846, which will seat four hundred persons, and was erected at a cost of 13,000. There are now 122 members. Rev. J.N. Loomis is the pastor.

The present number of members is difficult to arrive at, but is thought to be about two hundred or more. <* LUMBERLAND was formed from Mamakating, March 16, 1798, and comprised all that part of the County lying west of the Mongaup and south of the town of Rockland. Liberty was erected from it March 13, 1807; Bethel, March 27, 1809; and Highland and Tusten, Dec. 17, 1853. The surface is rugged and broken, and much of it is yet a Comparative wilderness. It is watered by several small streams, which are the outlets to the numerous ponds which dot its surface. Its eastern boundary is formed by the Mongaup, -and its southern, by the Delaware. These rivers unite at the south-east corner of the town. The principal Ponds are Lebanon, in the north ; Round, Sand and Haggies, in the west ; Long, near the center ; and Metock, in the east. Round and Sand ponds are on the line of Highland and partially in that town. Metock Pond lies about two miles west of the Mongaup, and three hundred feet above it. On its outlet is a beautiful cascade, having a fall of about one hundred feet. Formerly the name of the town indicated the occupation of the people ; but latterly their attention has been directed more generally to quarrying. Blue stone underlies the whole southern portion of the town. Extensive quarries of this beautiful stone were opened in 1868, by Mills & Cash, from Ulster county. It is said to be harder and more durable than the North Riverstone. Another quarry was opened in 1869, by Henry W. Decker. The next operatives, in 1870, were Decker, Kilgour & Co., who put the business into a stock company, 168 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. under the title of the N. Y. & Penn. Blue Stone Co. The company is now in successful operation. They lease of James D. Decker about 8,000 acres of stone landsl* Since then many new quarries have been opened, and large quantities of flagging stone have been quarried. This branch of business is rapidly increasing in importance.! But little lumbering is now done, and very little land, except in the north and central parts, is under cultivation. ';The Delaware & Hudson Canal extends through the town along the south border. \ The town covers an area of 19,388} acres, of which, in 1865, according to the census of that year, only 2,517} acres were improved. Next to Tusten it has the least proportionate number of acres of land under cultivation of any town in the County., The population of the town in 1870, according to the census of that year, was 1,065- During the year ending Sept. 30, 1871, the town contained six school districts, and employed six teachers. The number of children of school age was 436 ; the number attending school, 35s ; the average attendance! 120; and the value of school houses and sites, $3,250. MasTG-Atr? (p. o.) is located in the south-east corner, at the junction of the Delaware and Mongaup rivers, and on the D. & H. Canal. It contains one store, a telegraph office, a school house, a boat-yard, for building and repairing canal boats, ten dwellings and fifty-four inhabitants. The Mongaup flows through the village, so that it is partially in Orange county, the, store, post office, telegraph office and one dwelling being on the east side of the river, in that county. South Lebanon", (p. o.) located south of the center, about three miles north of the Delaware, contains one church, (M.

McKenzie, Vice- President and Manager of the Singer Sewing Machine Manu facturing Co., has his residence at this place. Mr. McKenzie has just completed a handsome residence, said to be one of the finest in the County, and is making elaborate improvements by widening and macadamizing the roads in its vicinity. He seems intend on making this locality equal in attractiveness those handsome villas on the Hudson. •This Company also operate quarries in Forestburgh, on the line of the M. & P J B.B. t " The entire business in this County doubtless amounted to over a million of dollars last year."

The postDffice Was established here in January, 1872. \ Decrees Dock is located on the canal and the Delaware, one- half mile east of Pond Eddy, and dohtaitis one hotel, a school, a dry-dock and boat-yard and eleven dwellings. James D. Decker, the Sheriff of this County, who resides here, built a fine wire suspension bridge across the Delaware, opposite his residence, connecting the place with Pond Eddy station, about one-fourth mile west, on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware. It is supposed that settlement was commeficed Before the Revolution, but- we have been unable to learn any definite data on which to base an assertion to this effect. Among the early settlers since the Revolution were John Showers and Joshua Knight, at Mongaup; S. Gardner and Elnathan Corey, at Pond Eddy ; P. VanVauken, above Mongaup ; and John Rinck, Wm. Ryarson and Adam White, in other parts of the town. The latter came here in 1819. He is now living in the town, (of which he is the oldest resident) is eighty-nine years of age, enjoys good health, and works regularly on his farm. The first school was kept in a barn, by Farnham. The first inn wasvkept by E. Corey, at Pond Eddy. The Methodists seem to be the only religious denomination possessing sufficient Vitality, or numerical strength to organize. There are four churches in the town, all of which belong to this denomination.* . MAMAKATING, named after the original name of Bashas Kill, — Mamacottin — was erected into a pfecinct by the General. Assembly, Dec. 17, 1743, and embraced Deer park and a part of Mount Hope in Orange county, and all of Sullivan county not embraced in the old town of Bochester.f It continued as a precinct Until organized as a town, March 7, 1788. It was reduced to its present limits by the erection of Deerpark, (Orange Co.,) and Lumberland in 1798, Thompson in 1803, and a part of Forestburgh in 1837. It lies upon the highlands between Neversink River and Shawangunk Kill.

If they are received in time they will appear in the Errata., tThe town records date back to 1174. 170 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. parallel ridges, separated by the valley of Bashas Kill, extend through the town in a north-east and south-west direction. The eastern of these ridges is known as Shawangunk Moun tain. The declivities of this Mountain are gentle upon the east, but abrupt and broken on the west. It attains an elevation of 1,100 feet above the summit level of the canal, and about 1,700 feet above tide.* In the north-west part of this town isT a mountain of nearly equal elevation, known as Panther Hill. The principal streams are Shawangunk, Bashas and Pine Kills, the last of which is the outlet of a small lake in the west part' of the town, known as Yankee Pond. The summit level of the Delaware and Hudson Canal, f seventeen miles long and 525 feet above tide, is constructed through the valley of Bashas Kill. Masten Pond, in the west part, is used as a reservoir. A vein of lead was discovered several years since about two miles north of Wurtsboro, on the west side of the Shawan gunk Mountain. Smelting works were erected and the first lead was smelted in 1837 or '38.J It is supposed that Indians *In the Poems of Alfred B. Street, Vol. 1, page 206, we find the following allusion to this mountain at sunset : " A paradise of beauty in the light Ponred by the sinking sun, the mountain glows In this soft sunny evening. Dark and cool The shadow of the opposite hills is spread ' O'er Mamacating, save where brightly stretch The edges of the golden mantle, wove In the rich loom of sunset, and thrown o'er The earthern monarch's form. * * * » • ••**••• On still the shadow steals ; the mountains foot Is blackened, but a glow of quivering tints Yet plays upon its breast. Half light, half gloom, Now shows the slope. Up, up the shadow creeps Toward the steep brow ; the lustrous gloss peels off Before it, till along the ragged top Smiles a rich stripe of gold, that up still slides Until it dwindles to a thread, and then, > As breath glides from a mirror, melts away. The twilight deepens. Shadowy, vast and grim The mountain looms, while on the western hills The darkness gathers in one gloomy cloud ; O'erhead the stars out-tremble, and the moon, Late cold and blind, is filling rich with light ; And as the east gro.ws duskier, shadows faint Are thrown upon the earth, till soft and sweet The moonlight bathes all nature in its calm And solemn joy." * * * * * tThe first boat on this canal and marked " Number One", was ran by Peter Euyken- dall, fatherof Hiram Kuykendall of Bummitville. It brought down thirteen tons of coal to Fort Jetvis and unloaded— that being all it was thonght safe to bring, owing to the state of the canal above there at that time ; it then went back, put on thirteen tons more, returned to Port Jervis and put on nine tons of the first load, making twenty-two tons, and then completed the trip. "Number Three" was run by "Uncle Tommy Caldwell "; and " Number Fonr ", by John Brodhead. |Col. Lawrence Masten was the first man who killed a deer with this lead. GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 171 had previously used the lead.* But the cost of smelting was so great as to render the .operation unprofitable, and the mine was for a long time abandoned. The mine has recently (in 1872) been purchased by a company of English capitalists, who propose to commence work therein the present summer. In the Mamakating valley, at the foot of the mountain, are several chalybeate springs. Petrified leaves, sticks, shells, &c, are found in the lowlands, and at the top of the highest moun tain. Timber has been found lying fifteen or sixteen feet below the surface, which appeared to be in a tolerable state of preser vation, but usually honey-combed.f Great quantities of leaves from various kinds of trees are found three and four feet below the surface. These facts seem to show conclusively that this valley has, at some probably remote period, been . inundated, and the soil, to a considerable depth, formed from its deposi tion. J The soil of the general surface of the town^s a sand and gravel loam, in some places intermixed with clay, and is best adapted to pasturage. A large body of land, comprising nearly two thousand" acres, lying on both sides of Bashas Kill, *" The pioneers of Mamakating knew that the Indians obtained their lead not far from Wurtsborough. The natives always refused to show, where it was to be found, and generally became angry whenever the mine was alluded to.. Even the white men who were in part or wholly domesticated with them, could not get any information from them in regard to it. At last a white hunter named Miller dogged them, at the risk of his life, until he ascertained that they got the ore near a certain .clump of hem lock trees, which were the only ones of the kind within a considerable distance.- He heard them at work ; but did not dare to go to the locality until a considerable time afterwards when he Was sure the savages were not in the vicinity. Miller intended to tell this to a man named Daniel GunBaulis. He told him the lead was on the mountain, near the hemlocks, pointed them ont from the valley, and promised to go with him to the mine after he had made a visit to his friends in Orange county. He went, hut died at Montgomery during his visit there. Gunsaulis never attempted to profit by what Miller had told him. In 1813, however, he commnn'icated what he knew of the matter to our venerable townsman, Daniel Niven, Esq., who, in 1817, hired a man named Mudge to assist him in searching for the lead, and they succeeded in finding it. A quantity of the ore was sent to Doctor Mitchell and others, chernists. Mr. Niven made a confidant of Moses Stanton, a resident of Wurtsborough, who, as well as Mudge, in sisted upon sharing the profits which were expected to be made from the discovery, and the three became partners. Mot long after, those who had analyzed the ore en deavored to purchase the mine of Mr. Niven and his associates. But the discoverers found a difficulty in the way of selling. The land did not belong to them, and it was not known who did own it. They could neither buy the mine nor Bell it; So the matter rested until 1836— Mr. Niven and his partners mutually agreeing not to make any disclosure concerning the matter, unless with the consent of all three.

The inundation is, due principally to the deposits of the Pine Kill at its confluence with the former stream, which annually form a bar across it and obstruct the flow of the water. During the freshets, this overflow, extend ing, as it often does, for miles above the junction of these streams, presents the appearance of a vast inland lake. Large quantities of tan-bark, &c, are deposited in various places, and large sand banks Aabstruct the stream. The land, properly drained, Would equal in fertility the prairies of the west. On the old Devens farm, the one on which Manuel GunSallus lived, and where the old Mamakating fort* was built, is a swamp, from which, previous to the construction of the canal through the town, flowed Bashas Kill to the south and Homowack Creek to the north ; but since the advent of the canal the waters of the swamp have been diverted to it. The N. Y. & 0. Midland E. E. enters' the town near the south-east corner, and leaves it near the north-west eorner. The Ellenville Branch of that road connects with it at Sum- mitville. The trunk line pierces the Shawangunk Mountain nearly half way between the villages of Bloomingburgh and Wurtsboro, through the famous Shawangunk.tunnel, which took a little over three years to construct. The tunnel is 3,857 feet in length. Two working parties were engaged in its con. strnction, one on each side of the mountain. The distance from the east portal to the point where the working parties met is 2,398 feet ; and from the west portal to the same point, 1,459 feet. The height of the ntountain above the tunnel is 340 feet. The curve at the east end is 665 feet of a four degree circle; the remainder of the tunnel is a straight line tangent. On the west side 850 feet of Shawan gunk grit was pierced; the remainder was Hudson shale. Small quantities of iton and coppel* pyrites were found in the sandstone; and slight traces of coal in the slate. The curve is sufficient to prevent one's seeing through the tunnel; and yet when the heading was pierced it is said that the two approaches did not vary an inch from the calculations. When the two working parties met and pierced the heading, a man was placed at the opening and instructed to permit no one to pass. Soon after, the party who were first to pass through arrived ; and he, who of all others, was most entitled to the *Peter Helm, (eOnof Michael) from Ulster county, married the daughter of Manuel GunSallus, and settled on the farm now owned by Maj.

For some days before the heading was pierced, the noise of drilling could be heard from the opposite sides, and considerable strife was manifested for the pos session of the drill which should first pass through. Among those who entered into this strife was Mr. Morrison, who formed a plan, the details of which were quietly carried out by the operatives on the western end of the tunnel, something as follows : Late at night, abont the middle of Sept. 1871, the operatives in the west end, knowing by the sound produced by the drill on the other side that the perforation must soon be made, ceased operations, or made little headway with their own drill. In a little while the rock was started by the eastern drill, and one or two more blows sent it through five or six inches. It was instantly seized by the men oh the west side, who pulled it through a few. more inches, and, by putting a pickax beneath it, held it so firmly that the men on the east side could not Withdraw it, although they tried for a long time to do so. -After they had ceased their efforts and left the work, the men on the west side pulled the drill through and buried it beneath three or .four tons of rock; they then placed another drill on the floor of the tunnel, in front df the hole. The next morning when the eastern men came over the mountain for their drill, they were shown the drill lying on the floor, as the one which had been pulled through. It was taken to a black smith shop, where it was cut in many pieces to be sent to Albany and other places as relics. In the meantime the drill which really pierced the heading was removed to Mr. Morrison's residence, and the next day was formally presented to him. He intends to place it in the Geological rooms at Albany. It soon leaked out that a joke had been perpetrated upon the the eastern men, And those having the matter in charge concluded to delay indefinitely the sending away of the pieces of drill.

It is a delightful little village ; and to one looking for a summer residence, it offers inducements of no small value, since it is within easy distance of the finest hunting districts in the country, the mountains of which are full of game of all kinds, from.bears down to squirrels, while the trout streams .are almost innumerable. In the immediate vicinity there are eight private trout ponds. The scenery is very fine ; from the cupola of the Olcott Hou*e, the eye can range for ten or fifteen miles up and down the valley, until a turn in it seems to . enclose him in a perfect basin. Up the valley can be seen the smelting works vi Cotheals & Co., (not in operation now) with the entrance to the old mine just above i in the mountain side, while nearly opposite is the western end of the Shawangunk tunnel, and the railroad stretching away on the mountain ridge, with its diminutive trains passing back and forth.

It was a sole leather tannery until purchased by Mr. Korn, who changed it to its present character. He manufactures about 75,000 skins annually, though he has facilities for tanning 100,000. He tans on the European plant, making stock equal to the best French or German leather. He took the first premium at the American Institute in .1865, and the Diploma at the Paris Exposition in 1867. , He has several patents of his own inventions, which he uses in his tannery ; consisting of a bark mill, which grinds the bark equally as fine as it is ground in European countries, where the leather made is noted for its excellence ; and a leach, which extracts all the strength from the bark, thus giving the leather superior qualities without coloring it. He employs from forty to fifty men, and uses from 1,200 to 1,500 cords of bark annually. The tannery is heated by steam ; and the motive power is furnished by an eighteen feet overshot wheel, and a sixty horse power engine. The main building is one hundred and thirty feet long, fifty feet wide and two and one-half stories high, and is supplemented by additional necessary buildings. Ten leaches and fifty -tan vats, and three boilers — one a cylinder, thirty^six feet long, and two flue, one twenty-two and the other twenty-three feet long — are employed. The Wurtsboro Feed and Flowing Mill, of James Graham, located in the west part of the village, on the Townly Brook, has two runs of stones, and has a capacity for grinding about 100 bushels per day.* The, Wurtsboro Division, No. 324, Sons of Temperance, was organized in April, 1868.

Two or three miles west of Westhrookville are some very valuable blue flagstone and building stone quarries, from which large quantities of stone are shipped via the D. & H. Canal from this village. The excellence of the blue stone quar ried here is attracting to it considerable attention. Large quantities are being used for ballast • on vessels going to Europe, where it commands a ready sale. Some of the flagging stone from Westhrookville has found its- way to Italy, and a number of stones from the quarries in this town now grace the city of Borne in that Kingdom.

About one o'clock in the afternoon we started from Fort Wildwyck, having of my company two and twenty men ; of Lieu tenant Stilwil's company, four and twenty men, and seven freemen, with two of the Hon'ble Company's Negroes. We took as guide the young Wappinger Indian, and Christoffel Davids as Indian interpreter, and prom ised the Indian his freedom with a cloth coat, on condition that he brought us truly to the Esopus Indians. We got eight horses with very great difficulty from the fanners, as they were so very unwilling and could not be brought to give us any horses, except Thomas Chambers, who, without any solicitation, presented me with two for the expedition. Several of the others, who could not give any, used much offensive language to the the Sheriff and the Company's officers,1 saying—' They will have horses ; they may see if they can get them.' Marched that, afternoon about three miles from our fort to the creek which runs past the Redout ; lay there that night, during which we had great rain. " 4th ditto. Found such high water and swift current in the Kill, that it was impossible to ford it ; sent six men immediately on horseback to our Fort WUd\wyck to fetch rope and axes to make a raft or some other convenience to cross the creek ; they returned to us about ten o'clock ; brought three axes and rope. Passed the rope over the stream in order to hold fast to it so that the people may not be swept far down the creek. Crossed over with all the men about two o'clock in the afternoon and marched about four miles further on, where we bivouacked during the night. * * * " 5th ditto. Set out again at day break, and about noon came to their first maize field where we discovered two Squaws and a Dutch woman ; who had come that morning from their new fort to get corn. But as the creek lay between us and the cornfield, though we would fain have the women, it was impossible to ford the stream without being seen and then discovered^ We therefore, adopted the resolution to avoid the cornfield and the road, and turned in through the. woods so as not to be seen. Arrived about two o'clock in the afternoon within sight of their fort, which we discovered situate on a lofty plain. Divided our force in two — Lieutenant Couwenhpven and I led the right wing, and Lieutenant Stilwil and Ensign Niessen the left wing. Proceeded in this disposition along the hill so as not to .be seen and in order to come right under the fort ; but as it was somewhat level on the left side of the fort and the soldiers were seen by a squaw, who was piling wood there and who sent forth a terrible scream which was heard by the Indians who were standing and working near the fort, we instantly fell upon 'them. The Indians rushed forthwith through the fort toward their houses, which stood about a stone's threw from the fort^ in order to secure their arms, and thus hastily picked iip a few guns and bows and arrows, but we were so hot at their heels that they were forced to leave many of them behind. We kept up a sharp fire on them and pursued them so closely that they leaped into the creek which ran in front of the lower part of their maize land. On reaching the. opposite side of the Kill, they courageously returned our fire, which we sent back, so that we were obliged to send a party across to dislodge them. In this attack the Indians lost their Chief, named Papequanaehen, fourteen other warriors, four women and three children, whom we saw lying both on this and on the other side of the creek, but probably many more were wounded, when rushing from the fort to the houses, when we did give them a brave charge. On our side 180 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. three were, killed and six wounded and we have jecovered three and twenty Christian prisoners out of their hands. We have also taken thirteen of them prisoners, both men and women, besides an old man who. accompanied us about half an hour but .would not go farther. We took him aside and gave him his last meal. A, Captive Indian child died on the way, so that there remained eleven of them still our prisoners. The enemy being conquered, we reviewed our men ; found we had one wounded more than we had horses. Convened the Council of War ; sub mitted to them what was now best for us to do relative to cutting down the maize. The Council of war decided that we could indeed cut it down, but were any more of our men wounded, how could they be removed hev- ing already ope more than we had horses, and this one must be borne, with great trouble, on a litter by two. Resolved to let the maize stand for the present ; plundered the houses wherein was considerable booty, such as bear skins, deer skins, notassem, blankets, elk hides, besides several other smaller articles, many of • which we were obliged to leave behind that we could not bring along with us, for we could well fill a sloop. We destroyed as much as we could ; broke the kettles into pieces ; got also twenty-four or five guns, more than half of which we smashed and threw the barrels here and there in the stream, hacking and breaking in pieces as many as we could. Found, also, several horns and bags of powder, in all about twenty pounds ; got also thirty-one belts and some strings of wampum ; took the best of the booty along and resolved to set off. Placed the wounded cm the horses and had one carried in a blanket- on poles by two soldiers in turns. Set out thus in good order 6n our return and marched that day full two miles from the fort. The fort was a perfect square with one row of palisades set all round being about fifteen feet above, and three, feet underground. They had already completed two angles of stout palisades, ' all of them almost as thick as a man's body, having two rows of portholes, one above the other ; and they were busy at the third angle. These angles were constructed so solid and strong as not to be excelled by Christians; * * * The Christian prisoners informed us that they were removed every night into the woods, each night to a different place, through fear of the Dutch, and brought back in the morning ; but on the day before we attacked them, a Mohawk visited them, who slept with them during the night. When they would convey the Christian captives again into the woods,, the Mohawk said to the Esopus Indians — What ! do you carry the Christian prisoners eveiy night into the woods ? To which they answered— yes. Whereupon the Mohawk said, Let them remain, at liberty here for you live so far in the woods that the Dutch will not come hither, for they cannot come so far without being discovered before they reach you. Wherefore they kept the prisoners by them that night. The Mohawk departed in the morning for the Manessings and left a new blanket and two pieces of cloth which fell to us also as booty ; and we came just that day and fell on them so that a portion of them is entirely annihilated. Wherefore praise and thanks be given to God Almighty.

Not knowing which direc tion he would take, they headed him off both ways. When he continued his journey, he was fired upon by the concealed Indians and fell dead, while his companion, the woman, escaped uninjured. Mr. GunSallus, who went in the opposite direction, about the same time, was killed by the savages in ambush there. Many incidents of a similar nature occurred at this period. Among them we are informed of one relative to. Jacobus Devance and VanCamp. Devance was then living on the farm on which GunSallus had died,, and around which the old Mam akating fort was built; and VanCamp, who was abatohelor, lived a part of the time with him. They went in company to catch the horses which were in the pasture, east of the house, toward the mountain, and, while crossing the meadow, dis- coverd two deer. Devance returned to the house for his gun, leaving VanCamp to look after the horses. Some Indians, who had been secretly watching their movements, now sprung upon VanCamp and took him a prisoner to Niagara, where they kept him five years, after which he returned. It is prob able that Devance, in going for the gun, saved his life, for, being a committee-man, a reward of $700 was offered for his scalp. At the time VanCamp was taken prisoner, a little girl by the name of GunSallus was also captured. She remained with the Indians until - she had nearly arrived at womanhood. She became greatly attached to her captors, thoroughly imbued with their customs, and loved the wilderness far better than the homes of civilization. After she had passed many years in captivity, her friends learned her whereabouts and with diffi culty persuaded her to return home. The Indians too, although willing to gratify the desires of her friends, loved her dearly and were loth to part with one they hoped to make the future bride of a warrior. • In after years, she was often seen rambling in the woods, musing over the- past, and singing the wild songs of the Indians. She finally became reconciled' to the home of her friends. We are indebted to Mr. Luther Pelton of Thompson for the substance of the following incident : At the time of the French war there lived in the town of Mamakating, near where the village of Burlingham now stands, 182 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. two brothers named Coleman, who, with their families, consist ing of their wives and five children, occupied one log house. One Sabbath afternoon, just after harvest, one of the brothers, while absent looking for the horses, was shot and scalped by the Indians, who then proceeded to the house and shot the other brother, who was sick on his bed, by firing between the logs of the building where the chinking had fallen out. The Indians then entered the building, dragged their victim to the door, and scalped him, and, having fired the house, they started directly west, over the Shawangunk Mountain, with the rest of the families as captives. One of the Women had recently been con fined and, being unable to walk, she was put astride an old horse and her feet tied under its belly with a rope. Her child, about a week old, was given her, but the Indians, fearing its cries would reveal their whereabouts, soon took it from her and dashed out its brains against a tree. On coming to a stream of water the horse on which she rode was first driven through to ascertain its depth. But the news of the outrage spread rapidly, and by early dawn on the following morning a posse of white men were ready and started in pursuit, and toward night of the same day were close upon the heels of the Indians, who, finding that they were likely to be overtaken, with their cap tives, made ashort turn into the thicket. The pursuers passed so near that their voices were distinctly heard and recognized.- Had the captives given an alarm at this time they might in all probability have been saved ; but so great was their fear of their captors that they allowed their friends and the auspicious moment to pass. After their pursuers were fairly out of hearing, Mrs. Coleman was for the first time taken from the horse, and here they encamped for the night. On Tuesday morning they resumed their journey. Up to this time none of the party had eaten anything, the Indians fearing to fire a gun, but on that morning they shot a deer. They traveled very slowly, and on Wednesday night reached their camp somewhere west of the Delaware River. Here, with other Indians, they built a fire, and having stripped the children naked, whipped them round it and inflicted other cruelties. Mrs. Coleman, being worn out with fatigue and unable to endure the sight of her children's suffer ings, which she was powerless to relieve, crept unobserved into the forest to die ; but seeing a light at a distance she was induced to make her way thither. The beacon light shone from a wig wam in which an old squaw lived alone*. This squaw had lived among the white people, spoke English and was somewhat civilized. She was called by the Indians Peter Nell. To her Mrs. Coleman told the story of her sufferings. The squaw received her kindly, made a bed of leaves and skins, and told her GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 183 to rest, assuring her that' the Indians should not harm her. She also made her some soup after the manner of the white people. Mrs. Coleman remained here for some time, and when expedient, Peter Nell, assisted her to return to her friends in Orange county, to whom she related the foregoing account. Che fate of the others remains a mystery. On the approach of the Revolution the Indians again became hostile, and several block houses were erected on the frontiers of Ulster county, one of which was at Wurtsboro. On account of the distress occasioned by the hostility of the Indians, the people were favored by the Supervisors in the apportionment of taxes. Many persons in those days accounted wealthy were re duced to poverty, and but little that could be destroyed remained on the return of peace. In 1792 this town contained one hundred and eighty-two taxable persons, of whom thirty-four were in the present towns of Lumberland, Tusten and High land.* From the town records we extract the following : "Memorandum of Black Slaves Born free, agreeable to an act of the Legislature of the State of New York, Passed April 8th 1801.

"Westbrookville (formerly " Bashshusville") was settled about the"same time, by Tjerick Westbrook, by whom the first house was built, of stone, and used as a fort to shelter the settlers. The house is still standing.f Mr. Felton was a pioneer near Burlingham, and J. Newkirk at Bloomingburgh, where the first school was kept in 1784, by Mr. Campbell. Wm. Harlow kept the first inn, two miles north of Bloomingburgh ; Wm. Wighton opened the first store one mile south of the same place ; and Joshua Campbell! built the first (grist) mill, on the Shawangunk Kill, within this town. The first white child born was William Harlow ; and the first death was that of A. Simpson.§ In 1776 there we're carpenters, blacksmiths^ basket makers and shifrgle makers, who came from the east Up the North River, some to Neversink, some to Kingston, and thence *A road was constructed at an early day, by Ananias Backet, from Mamakating west ward, passing about three-fourths of a mile south of Lords Pond, and continuing to Nathan Kjnne'B Flats, from which place Capt. Dorrance made a road to Cochecton for £5 per mile. This road opened a communication from the Hollow to the Delaware River, a distance of about thirty-three miles. A portion of it is still in use, but the greater part was taken up by the Newburgb & Cochecton Turnpike. tChas. B. Stickney, in his history of Minisink, says that the Westbrook family lived here during the old French war of 1755, though he gives the name of John Westbrook • but Tjenck'B grandson, who is Our informant , and is Bixty-five years old, say s he does not remember having heard any mention made of an earlier eettler than Tjerick. t Written statement of Henry Newkirk. §In 1776 there existed in the town a few Indian settlements^-one about a mile south of Bloomingburgh, ruled over by a chief called Tot-a-paugh ; another about a mile north of Wurtsboro, known as the " little Yaueh House;* and a third near Westhrookville ' about four miles south of Wurtsboro. — Statement of Cornelius Wood qf Bloomingburgh' GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 185 to Peenpack and Minisink, and along the east side of the Shawangunk Mountain.* David Smith, from Smithtown, L. I., settled on the east side of the Shawangunk Mountain, near New Vernon (Orange Co.) His son, Daniel C, who was raised from a youth in the town, was a soldier during the Revolution. Soon after the close of the war he moved into the Mamakating Val ley, and settled about foUr miles south of Wurtsboro, on the farm now owned by Hector C. Smith. Johannes Masten, (grand father of Major Masten) came into the town after the Revolu tion and bought seven hundred acres of land around the present village of Wurtsboro. From the writings of J. V. Morrison we glean the following facts relative to the early settlement of the town: "Joseph Ogden took two divisions from the county line to the north line of the property [since] owned by Stephen Caldwell Jr. It was sold to Elias Devance and John Caldwell, the father of Charity Eckert. Ogden was a lumberman owning a sawmill on the Sand-bar creek. The custom in those days was to cut as much timber west and east as they wished. Joseph's [Ogden] wife was a Bloomer, the sister of John Budd's wife, also of John Bloomer, the pioneer preacher. William Caldwell, known as ' Uncle Billy,' owned the next tract south. His sons were John, Thomas and ' Old Uncle Stephen.' Their tract run up to No. 5, at or near the District school house. The next property was owned by , who sold it to the Budd family. Elijah Budd, who settled on lot No. 4, bought the possessions of Conrad Bush, of a thousand acres. He came to Fishkill, Dutchess Co., with his sons Join and Peter. Peter had nine sons. The law required a man to be the owner of $250 worth of real estate to entitle him to vote* and Peter gave to each of his sons [sufficient] to insure them the right of franchise. The next purchase was in lot No. 3, by John and Philip Tice, sons of Joseph H. Tice, who died on ship board on the way over from Germany. They purchased 250 acres of Dr. Hammersly of New York, [which comprised the north part of the village of Phillipsport.] The next property, known as the ' Old Grist Mill ', was quite celebrated. It was the only grist mill for many miles up and down the valley. [It] was built by Cook & Griffin. It was afterwards owned by Bloomer, the pioneer preacher, [and successively] by John Hill and Abram Topping, and finally it belongs to the D. & H. Canal Co. , who use the dam for a reservoir. Ezra Hill, son of John Hill, after his return as a soldier in 1812, sold out lot 2 in parcels to Philip, Gabriel and David Tice. The property where the M E. church, [f] school house and parsonage now stand was a part of the Hill property. ' "Samuel GunSallus, who lived in an old log house, on the Kingston road, between Wurtsboro and Phillipsport, where Samuel Norris' house now stands, was very intimate with the Indians, with whom he spent most of his early life. He became very much attached to their customs, so much so as to prefer living with them. The Indians, it seems, were no less attached to him, and he became a great favorite among them. 'Written statement of Henry Newkirk. tThis church was bnilt in the early days of MethodiBm, by Horace Weston, one of the pioneer preachers of the valley. 186 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. On more than one occasion during the active hostilities of the Indians, did this spirit of amity which subsisted between him and them prove of service to him and others of the early settlers, many of whose lives he saved through his knowledge of the mystic force connected with the Algonquin word for friend, "mytap," which was imparted to him. He is the subject of many humorous anecdotes which are still current among the inhabitants.* But he who " stood by the dying bed of the old chieftain, who heard him chant his death song, and helped the old warriors to bury him by the foot of an aged pine that stood at the brow of western hills, near the old block house in Mamakating, has gone to the spirit land, and his bones rest in the quiet of the silent grave, with scarce a single stone to perpetuate his memory." " The grand resort of the early hunters," says J. V. The M. E. Church, located at Burlingham, was organized in 1830, and its first and present church, edifice, which will seat 500 persons, was erected the same year, at a cost of $1,800. The first pastor was John W. Lefevre ; the present one is Ezra B. Pierce. The present value of Church property is $4,000. The number of members could not be ascertained. The M. E. Church of Wurtsboro, at which place it is located, was organized in 1811, by Rev. Horace Weston, who was a zeal ous worker in his chosen field of labor. The number of mem bers at its organization is believed, to have been about twenty. The pulpit Was first supplied by David Poor and Samuel LaWjWho traveled-a large circuit. The first and present house of worship, which will seat one hundred and seventy-five persons, was erected in 1832-3, under the ministration of Rev McFar- lan, at an estimated cost of $1,000, which is the present value of Church property. An effort is being made to build a new GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 189 house. It has eighty-three members. Rev. Milo Couchman is the pastor. This Church is an offshoot from the Brownville Church. The St. Joseph's (Roman Catholic) Church, located at "Wurts boro, was organized about 1847, by Rev. Mr. Anderson, who was the first pastor. At that time there were about fifteen families connected with it; now there are about fifty. The congrega tion are ministered to by. Rev. Daniel Mugan of EllenviUe. Their church edifice was bought from the Ref.- Prot. Dutch Church, by whom it was built in 1793, and is reputed to be the oldest church edifice in the County. It will seat three hundred perspns. The present value of Church property is $4,000. The New Vernon Old School Baptist Church, located at New Vernon, was organized March 2, 1785, with sixteeen members, under the pastorate of Elder Eleazer West. The first house of worship was erected in 1800 ; the present one, which will seat about four hundred, in 1853, at a cost of $2,200. The present value of Church property is about $3,000. The present mem bership is eighty ; and the present pastor, Elder Gilbert Beebe. Elder Benjamin Montanye succeeded Elder West in the pastor ate May 15, 1794, and continued as pastor until his death, Dec. 25, 1825. He was succeeded by Elder Beebe, the present incumbent, May 1, 1826. The line between this and Orange counties runs through the neighborhood of New Vernon, but the church stands in this County. The M. E. Church, located near Walker Valley, was organized with ten members, and — Curtis as its first pastor, in 1860, and erected the first and present house of worship, which will seat two hundred persons, the same year, at a cost of $500. The Church property is valued at $1,000. There are twenty mem bers, and Ezra B. Pierce is pastor. The Union Church of Homowack was organized in 1847, by Ira Ferris, the first pastor, with twenty-five 'members. Their house of worship was erected in 1843; it will seat about two hundred.

Rockland was taken off March 29, 1809, and a part of Fallsburgh, March 9, 1826.f The whole town is elevated, and the surface is very much broken and to a *For origin and definition of name, see page 62. tThe original act shows that the town of Neversink covered a portion of what is now Fallsburgh, Liberty, Callicoon and Fremont. 190 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. considerable extent covered with forests. ' The principal eleva tions are Denman Hill and Thunder Hill,* the former having an altitude of about 2,000 feet above tide, and the latter a little more. It is watered by the Neversink and its branches ; Ron- dout Creek, which flows to the Hudson, and Chestnut and Lackawack creeks, tributary to it ; Willowemoc Creek ; Red Brook, and several small streams tributary to these. It is a fact worthy of note that this town is the only one in the County -in which there is neither lake nor pond. The soil is generally a gravelly loam and is best adapted to pasturage. The people are chiefly engaged in lumbering, tanning and dairying, though the two former branches of industry are receiving less attend tion than formerly in consequence of the gradual exhaustion of the supply of bark. The town was early settled by tenants, who have since purchased the fee simple. The town covers an area of 41,989 acres, of which, in 1865, according to the census of that year, 17,993 were improved and 23,996, unimproved. During the year ending Sept. 30, 1871, it contained twenty school districts, in which nineteen teachers were employed, The number of children of school age was 1,035 ; the num ber atten&ing school, 842 ; the average attendance, 381 ; and the value of school houses and sites, $5,343. The population in 1870 was 2,458. Gbahamsville,! (p- v.) situated in the east part, south- of tha center, on Chestnut Creek, contains two churches, (Friends and Reformed) foUr stores, two blacksmith shops, three hotels, two shoe shops, two grist mills, one carriage shop, one harness shop, two tanneries, a jewelry store, a photograph gallery, a cabinet shop, an undertaking establishment, fifty dwellings and about 250 inhabitants. * John Reynolds' Tannery, located here, employs on an average about ten hands, consumes annually 1,000 cords of bark, and tans 10,000 sides of slaughter leather. Currey's Tannery, also located here, was built in 1868, by the present owners, Messrs. A. H. & G. F. Currey. It annually consumes 75 cords of bark, and tans 3,000 sides of leather. Nbveesink Flats, (Neversink p. o.) situated near the south-west corner, on the Neversink, contains one church, (M.

The tannery at this place was built about 1848, by Cook, Bushnell & Rey nolds, and is now owned by Snyder & Bushnell. It employs about fifty men, annually consumes about 3,000 cords of bark, and tans about 30,000 sides of leather. Eureka (p. o.) is located in the east part, on Chestnut Creek, about three miles east of Grahamsville. Willowemoc (p. o.) is situated on the creek of the same name, on the line »f Rockland. Unionville is a hamlet located near Grahamsville, of which it is sometimes considered a part. Low's Corners is a hamlet near the north-east corner, at the junction of the Rondout and Lackawack creeks. There . is a Baptist Church located near here. Dewittsville is a hamlet on the north line, in Denning, Ulster Co. Hog Rock, situated near the north line, is named from a large , shelving rock, wbich, at an early day, afforded shelter for the swine which were allowed to run at large to fatten on the beechnuts which were very plentiful in this section. Settlements were commenced on the Lackawack by families named Hornbeck, Cline, Clearwater, and Lowe, who obtained an Indian title in 1743, and ware driven off during, the Revo lutionary war. Settlements were re-commenced subsequent to the war, by Eleazer Larabee on Thunder Hill, in 1790. He came here from Fallsburgh, but was originally from Connec ticut, and moved to Liberty in 1794. He was soon followed by Benjamin Gillett, John Hall and Wm. Parks, who settled on the 1,000 acre lot. Hall came from Litchfield,- Conn., and soon moved with his wife and child to " Mutton Hill." His daughter, Sally Hall', was the first female child born in the town. He was the father of twenty-two children, eight of whom are now living. At this time the nearest mill was at Wawarsing, and to that place, , distant nearly twenty miles, he often carried a grist on his back. Wm. Parks also came from Litchfield, Conn. His son, Elijah Parks, was the first child born in the town, Stephen Curry came to this town with his wife and two small children from Peekskill, N. Y., in the spring of 1795. The country was then infested with wild animals, which caused theiearly settlers much trouble and necessitated the herding of 192 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. sheep. A few bears still remain. Mr. Curry was born at Tar- rytown, N. Y., June 15, 1770, and was consequently twenty-five years of age when he settled in the wilds of Sullivan County. His father was of Scotch descent, and his mother, English. Although he was baptized and nurtured in the faith of the Episcopal Church, of which his mother was a member, when he arrived at maturity he inclined to the Quaker persuasion, and though he is not- known to have united with that order, his intercourse through life was characterized by the principles and practices peculiar to it. He lived to see a\B fifth generation, and many of his descendants are now residents of this town. He lived to the advanced age of one hundred and one years and nearly seven months, and died at Grahamsville, Jan. 9, 1872. Prior to his death he was the oldest resident of the County. Nathaniel Akerly and Rdbert Aldrich, the latter from New burgh, came about 1796. Akerly settled on the farm now owned by Wm. H. Countryman, and Aldrich on the one now owned by Evert VanAken, which then belonged to a landlord named Hunter. In 1856, this farm was occupied by Ira Porter, who was dispossessed. Wm. Gorton, from near Bengali, Dutchess Co., came in Dec. 1798, and, with his wife and four children, (William, Wonton, Lucy and Betsy,) located on the farm now owned by Michael Denman. . John Hall Jr. moved from near Newburgh the same year, and located on the farm now owned by James Dice. His son, Peter C. Hall, still occu pies a part of the farm. He was a soldier during the Revolu- lution, and the father of ten children, most of whom are now living. Wm. A. Moore moved with his wife and eight children, (Benjamin, Comfort, Phebe, Andrew, Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Wm. W. and Seaman, four of whom are now living in the town, viz., Seaman and Andrew, and Phebe Porter and Eliza beth Brundage,) from the town of Washington, Dutchess Co., and settled on the farm which John Benson now owns. Seaman occupies a portion of the farm originally settled by his father. About 1807, Hardenburgh was in possession of a tract of land in the vicinity of Neversink Flats, which he leased to poor people whom he distressed and treated harshly. His tenants became incensed and determined to put a stop to the petty tyranny to which he subjected them, by terminating his earthly career. He was shot dead by a man concealed behind a tree. The place where he was shot is in the town of Fallsburgh. Richard D. Childs came here in 1816, from Thompson, in which town he held the offices of Constable, sDeputy-Sheriff and Collector. In 1832 he located at Grahamsville, where he engaged in trade and acted as agent for 40,000 acres of land belonging to Chancellor Livingston. About twenty, years GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 193 since he gave up business to his children, and now lives an easy, retired'life, is quite healthy and vigorous, and, though he is eighty years old, daily walks to the store, a distance of half a mile. He has been Town Clerk, Supervisor and Sheriff. Obediah Childs also became a resident of this town, but subse quently ¦moved to Ulster County; where he died a few years ago. John G. Childs, who, while a resident of Monticello, filled the offices of Deputy-Sheriff and Sheriff, practiced law at Grahamsville. He recently moved to Napanoch, Ulster Co. Henry Reynolds, from Westchester county, was among the early settlers on Mutton Hill. The prevalence of the primo- genature law previous to the Revolution deprived him of a fair share of his father's estate. This circumstance induced him to become a merchant's clerir. About 1769 he com menced business at Peekskill for himself, and about the same time married a Miss Fowler of Throgg's Neck. In early life he imbibed the principles of the Quakers, but did not adhere to their practices so rigidly as to become weaned from an active participation in the trying scenes of the Revolution. So warmly indeed did he espouse the cause of the Colonies that when the British invaded Peekskill in 1777, his store was plundered and buildingsi burned. He then moved, with his wife and five children, to Smith Clove, Orange Co., and en gaged in farming. .While here he belonged to a band of patriots known as minute men. His comparative retirement did not lessen his interest in the struggles of the patriot army, for we find him with the gallant band, which, under Anthony Wayne, stormed Stony Point, on the Hudson, July 16, 1779. His undisguised sympathies made him obnoxious to the adherents of the British Government, and his life was several times threatened and its destruction (physical) more than once attempted by a band of Tories, under the leadership of Claudius Smith,* whose business it was to secretly plunder the less noted Whigs and surreptitiously dispose of the more prominent and influential ones. So bold and formidable did this band become that Gov. Clinton was induced to offer a reward for the apprehension of Smith. He was captured by a party of Whigs under the leadership of Maj. John Brush, who pursued him to Long Island, within the enemy's lines, whither he fled for safety on learning in what manner Clinton's proclamation concerned him. He was conveyed to Goshen, where, on the 13th of January, 1779, he was tried and con victed on three indictments for burglary and robbery, and on the 22d of the same month, he, and several of his accomplices, , *A fuller account of Smith* and the depredations of his band of miscreants will be , found in Eager's Orange County, pages 550-565. 194 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. expiated their crimes on the gallows. Smith was succeeded in the leadership by his three sons, (Wm., Richard and James,) who, says Eager, were as atrocious as himself. This band was not extirpated until 1782, in which year the people of Monroe, assisted \>y some troops belonging to Washington's army, who were encamped about four miles from, Smith Clove, put an end to their depredations. At the first attempt to injure Mr. Reynolds, members of the Tory band tried to effect an entrance into his house by descend ing the chimney, the doors and windowB having been securely fastened ; but this was frustrated by one of -the family who emptied a feather bed upon the fire and compelled the intruders to retreat or risk suffocation. They chose the former alternative. The second attempt, made in July of the same year, was successful. Benjamin Kelley, Philip Roblin and several others of Smith's band gained admittance into his house at night by pretending to be a detachment from Washington's army in search of deserters. While he was about to procure a light with which to welcome his supposed friends, one of them struck him from behind, damned him and told him to make haste. This act revealed to him the character of his visitors and he tried to escape through the door and on the piazza, but he stumbled and fell over something which lay there and was caught and dragged back intb the house. Having secured Reynolds, whom they wounded in several places with their knives and swords, they hung him in the presence of his family, on the trammel pole of .his fire place. Phebe, his eldest child, who lacked one month of being twelve years of age, violently opposed them, but was rudely pushed aside. When the intruders, supposing their victim to be writhing in the agonies of death, dispersed in search of plunder, she cut him down, got him on abed and endeavored to resuscitate him. The wretches discovered her efforts and again suspended him as before, in doing which, however, they were again persistently opposed by the heroic girl, who, finding herself overpowered, threw herself upon the body of her father, and clasping her limbs tightly around him, thus attempted to shield him at the risk of her own life, from the blows of her brutal assailants, one of whom, when neither threats nor entreaties could induce her to relax her hold, cruelly lashed her with a rope. Even this proved ineffectual, and it became necessary to tear her away by main force. Believing the noble girl was too much disabled to again attempt a rescue, or that their victim was past help, they again went in search of plunder. Phebe cut him down a second time, but he was too weak to be led to another room. When they were again discovered she threw herself upon the prostrate body GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. I95 of her father, at whom the marauders flew, and cut and slashed him with their knives until they believed him to be dead. In her effort to 'protect her father in this assault, Phebe was wounded in her head and breast. They destroyed Reynolds' private papers, robbed him of everything they could carry away, and him they threw into an old chest, the lid of which was closed over him. They rolled a large stone against the door, which opened outwardly, and threatened to shoot the first one who raised the door latch. Then, having set fire to the house in several places, they left, doubtless expecting the whole family would be consumed and all traces of their crime obliterated. Phebe, with such aid as her mother, (who was a delicate woman, and then pregnant, and was rendered almost powerless by the shock which these inhuman scenes produced,) and a lad, who was living with them, could render, extricated her father, whom they found stiff and rigid, from his painful prison, and applied such restoratives as were at hand. It was necessary to pry open his mouth with a chisel so as to adminisjter nourishment. She was soon obliged to relinquish 'this office to extinguish the flames which her mother discovered in three places, but which she was too feeble to put out. Phebe seems to have been the only one sufficiently self-possessed to do anything to ameliorate their pitiable condition; even the lad before alluded to was so paralyzed with fear that he could not be induced to go and alarm the neighbors. This Phebe was obliged to do herself as soon as she deemed it safe to -leave her father. She appeared wholly unconscious of her own painful wounds and the loss of blood they occasioned, so eager was she to relieve her father. The alarm spread rapidly, and soon after sunrise a company of armed men started in pursuit of the desperadoes, whom they followed to their retreat in the mountains, and several of whom they shot. Among those, shot was Kelley, the leader of the band. On examination, Reynolds' body was found to be wounded in more than thirty places. One of his ears was so nearly severed -that it hung down to his shoulder, and one of his hands was so badly cut that he never fully recovered its use. " For several weeks Reynolds was on the brink of the grave, but fortified as it had been by a life of temperance and industry, his fine constitution in the end triumphed, and he lived to see his eighty-fifth birth day."* On the 17th of March, 1794, this section was visited by a very violent and destructive wind, which destroyed nearly all the timber in its course. *A very full and graphic account of this thrilling event is given in the writings of James E. Quinlan, from which the substance of these facts is taken. 196 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. Christopher Darrow taught the first school in the town; Eleazer Larabee kept the first inn on Thunder Hill; Abei Downs, it is said, kept the first store ; and the first grist mill was built by Chancellor Livingston, in 1810, under the super intendence of Jeremiah Gale. Henry Reynolds was the first Supervisor, and Josiah Depuy the first Town Clerk. In 1848 the Mormons began to hold meetings in this town. Much excitement prevailed and many families were induced to remove to Utah. Among these were Horace Gillett and his wife, who was a daughter of Wm. A. Moore, Isaac Groo, Wm. L. Brundage, John Hodge and Miles Wheaton. The temple, or house used by the Mormons as such, is located at a place known as " Nauvoo " and is still standing. On the night of the 14th of October, 1869, a heavy rain storm set in and continued until noon of the following day. The quantity of water which fell was so great as to produce a freshet in the. Neversink, which swept " away everything in its course. Bridges, buildings, crops, logs, lumber, wood, &c, were seen floating down the " river. We are informed of a somewhat remarkable instance of fecundity in this town. Mrs. Elizabeth Dice, who is forty-three years of age, is the mother of nineteen living children. If this is a characteristic of the matrons of Neversink we see no reason why it should not speedily become densely populated. The first church was erected by the Methodists* at Grahams ville. The first preachers were Revs. - — White and Nichols. The 'Reformed Church of Grahamsville was organized with twenty-five members, July 1, 1844, by Henry Clark, Cornelius H. Sheeley, John Wells and John D. Dean. Their house of worship, which will seat 250 persons, was erected the same year, at a cost of $1,200. The first pastor was Rev. Thos. B. Gregory; the present one is Rev. Wm. E. Turner. There are fifty members. The value of Church property is $3,000. The Friends' Society, located near Grahamsville, was organ ized with ten members, about thirty years ago; through the efforts of Leonard Porter. The first "recommended minister" was Rebecca Grant ; the present minister is Nancy Hall. The church edifice, which will seat 150 persons, was erected in 1842, at a cost of about $500. The present membership is ten ; and the value of Church property is about $600. The M.E. Church, at Neversink Flats, was' organized with about forty members, by A. Palen and others,' and for some time worshiped in the school house. Rev. John Davey was the first pastor. The church edifice, which will seat 300 — , . ( „ GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 196-4 persons, was erected in 1849, at a cost of $1,000, which is the present value of Church property. There are about twelve members. Rev. M. Brown of the Reformed Church is the present pastor. Since the present house was built a good shed has been builttin connection with it* at a cost of $200." The Lows Corner Baptist Church, located near Lows Corners, was organized by F. K. VanTassel, in 1869, in which year was erected the house of worship, which will seat 250 persons, at a cost of $1,350. Rev. J. L. Smith was the first pastor. He still fills its pulpit. There are 107 members. The Church property is valued at $1,600. ROCKLAND was formed from Neversink, March 29, 1809. A portion was annexed to Liberty, May 1, 1849. It lies in the extreme north part of the County. Its rugged surface, most of which is covered with forests, presents a wild and uninviting appearance to the immigrant in search of a home, and its distance from any great public thoroughfare has tended to retard its growth and increase in population. This last objection will, in a great measure, be removed with the comple tion of the N. Yf & O. Midland R. R. which is now in process of construction through the town, and which traverses it in the south-west part adjacent to the valley of the Little Beaver Kill and Willowemoc Creek. The opening of this great highway, in conjunction with the abundance of excellent water power furnished by its streams, and a spirit of liberality and enterprize on the part of its inhabitants, must conduce to its material prosperity. It covers an area of 43,479 acres, of which, in 1865, according to the census of that year, only 8,424 were improved. The principal streams are Beaver Kill, Willowemoc Creek and Little Beaver Kill. These are supplemented by numerous smaller streams. The surface is dotted by numerous small lakes, the principal of which are Upper, Mongaup and Hodge ponds in the north-east ; Big and North ponds in the south east ; Shaw Pond in the south ; Burnt Hill and Jenkins ponds in the west; and $and, Knapp and Mud ponds in the center. The people are chiefly engaged in farming, lumbering and tanning. The population of the town in 1870, according to the census of that year, was 1,936. During the year ending Sept. 30, 1871, it contained thirteen school districts, and employed the same number of teachers. ' The number of children of school. age was 720; the number attending school, 596 ; the average attendance, 261 ; and the value of school houses and sites, $3,070. w ' 196-B GAZETTEER OF TOWNS.

One and one-half miles further up this stream, near its junc tion with the Little Beaver Kill, is a huddle of ten or twelve houses, a hotel, a saw mill, a shoe -shoj) and about -fifty inhabitants. There is a conflict of authority in regard to the date of the first Settlement of the town, though there is but little disagreement respecting the person by whom the first settlement was made.* ?French, in his Gazetteer of -the State df New Yorfe, says, " Settlement was begun in 1789, by two families named Stewart and West, from.Middletown,, Conn.-; they located near the middle of the Big Beaver Kill Flat." Mts. Fish, daughter oif Jehiel Stewart, inform^ us that Utef settlement wa* commenced prior to the Revolution, by Jehiel (to whom French doubtless refers) Wm. and Luther Stewart, three hrothers. J. V. Morrison thus writes of Jehiel Stewart and his advent into the town: " Jehiel Stewart moved into the town of Wawarsing just after the close of the American Revolution. He staid there about a year, and then moved near the Beaver GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 196-0 A man by the name, of Harrington came soon after.* " In the following year," [1790] says French, " Pe^r Williams and Cor nelius Cochran came in from Massachusetts. Mrs. Bascom settled one mile west- of Purvis, and Thomas [Mott] and James Overton, one mile south of the same." Levi Kimball, and Sam uel Darbee came, (the former from Pennsylvania, the latter from Chester, Orange cottnty,) in 1796. They purchased con tiguous farms at the junction of the Beaver Kill and Willowe moc, and Darbee built a fulling and dyeing establishment. He continued the cloth dressing business, in connection with farm ing, until a few years previous to his death, (1826:) In the meantime the establishment of cloth manufaetories had, in a measure, ruined this part of his business. For many years, however, his was the only establishment of the kind in this section and it was patronized by persons living at a distance of thirty or .forty miles. At that time, this part of the State was almost a wilderness, but few settlers having located. There were no roads. To reach the place they had to pick their way over mountains, through ravines, and along the beds of stream?, f Game, consisting of wolves, bears, panthers, deer and elk wera as abundant here as in other parts of the County. As many as a dozen- elk have been seen in a herd by the early settlers in this town, and deer almost innumerable. Wm. Woodard was Kill, then in tbe town of Eochester. He took with him his family, furniture, horses, cattle, &c. He started up the Lackawack, forded the Neversink, then crossed the Shaw place, and on tp the Beaver Kill. He then went down the Beaver Kill, crossing and re-crossing it twenty-five times, until finally he came to where he concluded to settle. He had to cut his way through with an ax, and moved his furniture and family on a sled. Although it was the beginning of summer, a rough road cut through tbe woods was far better for a sled than a wagon. He camped out nights, being near two weeks working his way through the woods to Rockland. " As soon as he arrived to his destination he erected a temporary shelter of bark and poles, commenced a clearing and constructed e house. He built the first house in the town of Rockland. "On the way out, as they were encamping one evening they discovered their cows had strayed off, and Mr. Stewart got on a high rock to see where they were. He saw them, as he supposed, some distance off in an opening. He told his children to go and get them. As tbe little children approached them, tne animals winded them and run, making a tremendous clattering with their hoofs. It was a large drove of elks. ¦ •' Lydia', one of the children, only about five years of age, strayed off from the reBt. They hunted for her all night and could not find her. They supposed she bed been devoured by wolves which they had heard howling aronnd. They kept on looking in the morning, and finally saw her coming toward them. They aeked her.where she had been. She answered, 'Along side of a log sleeping.' Good old mother Bachel rejoiced as they found her, and uncle Jebiel's heart fully overflowed with gratitude." It will be seen that, though Mr. Morrison does not fix the precise year in which Mr. Stewart moved into this town, he agrees with Freneh that it was subsequent to the Revolution, which, is probably correct. "Harrington, says Mrs. Fish, went to Delaware Go. for salt. He saw Elder Covel and invited him to come to Westfield and preach to the few settlers there, which he prom ised to do in a few days. Harrington Btarted on his return with his salt on his back, but did not reach his destination alive. " He" from some cause, of which we are not i n formed, " sunk down by a tree," where he was subsequently found dead,1 with his bag of salt by his Bide. The Elder came as promised and had the melancholy pleasure of preaching Harrington's funeral sermon.

The first birth was that of "Susan Thorn ; the first marriage that of Ebenezer White and Clarissa Field ; the first death that of Sylvanus Stewart. The first school was taught by Sylvanus Bascom, at Westfield Flats, at which place was also built the 'first mill, by Luther Stewart. The first inn was kept by Jehiel Stewart, and the first store by a Mr. Loveland.f The first preacher was, as before stated, Elder Covel, who, says Mrs. Fish, before alluded to, formed the first Methodist Society in 17944 The Westfield M.

It lies principally upon the highlands between the Neversink and Mongaup- rivers, and is less hilly than most of the towns of the County. The hills rise from one hundred to three hundred feet above Monticello. Never sink and Mongaup rivers, with' several Small lakes and streams, constitute the waters of the town. Pleasant Lake (also known as " Kiamesha, or Clearwater") is a beautiful sheet of water, about a mile in length, and located near the center of the north line. The other principal bodies of water are Dutch Pond in the north, Lords and Mud* ponds in the east, Wolf Pond in the sotith-east, and Sackets Pond (named from Ana nias Sacket, an early settler near it.) in the south-west. The' quiet and attractive scenery of these lakes and the adjacent country is becoming appreciated by the lovers of the beautiful in nature, and those who seek a retreat from the heat and dust of the cities in summer, and a brief respite from the cares and perplexities of business. The soil is a reddish loam. The people are principally engaged in farming, stock raising, dairy ing and lumbering. -Dairying is the chief pursuit of the farmers. The principal crops grown are corn, oats, rye, buck wheat and other coarse grains. Potatoes are grown in large quantities.

In common with other parts of the County, this village possesses unusual attractions for the tourist in search of health or recreation. It was incorporated April 20, 1830. It is well laid out, the main street being one mile long and eight rods wide, with flagged walks and ornamented "with shade trees. Several enterprising residents have erected street lamps, and it is expected that the corporation will erect others and take the entire management of the whole. It is strictly speaking a mer cantile village, having but few manufactories or mechanical institutions. Few villages of equal size can boast of a more extensive mercantile business. Its merchants have enjoyed a degree of prosperity almost unparalleled, since there has been bi»t one failure among them within the lakt thirty years. It contains four churches, (Episcopal, M.

There is no organized fire department, the reason for which is probably due to the fact that the village was not visited with any disastrous fire for a great number of years — from 1844, when the court house, County clerk's office and Presbyterian church were burned, to August 3, 1871, when a very serious fire occurred, which swept away an old land mark — the Mansion to furnish those persons who here complete their school life with that knowledge which will enable them intelligently to pursue such a course of reading as the advance of science and literature demands. * * * Our highest aim is, not to finish, but to inspire ; to form such habits of study, to give sneh mental discipline, and to excite such scholastic tastes, that pupils will be prepared by their own persistent energies to con tinue their studies, and to develope a noble manhood."

From there it spread to the Mansion House block, in which Were, besides the hotel, two or three stores and shops, a lawyers office, Internal Revenue office, &c, all of which were burned to the ground, as there was no adequate means of checking the flames. Another very destructive fire occurred February 23, 1872j involving the destruction of four buildings and the loss of about $30,000 worth of property. " The fire originated," says the Republican Watchman of March 1, 1872, " in a small cellar in the immediate rear of the kitchen to Hunt's saloon, and directly under the Republican [The Sullivan County Republican^ ] office, all of which together with the post office and law-offices of Low & Butts and the barbef shop of H. Ham mond, were in the fine building built some years ago by Judge Low, and known as the ' Exchange Building.' * * * A shed on the premises of G. M. Benedict, adjoining the printing office, was almost immediately on fire, and from it the flames soon spread to Mr. Benedict's house. To the east7and separated from the Exchange Building by a lane, was the building occupied by C. S. Thornton's drug store, the watch shop of A. Rambour and W. L. Thornton's law office. . This building was soon in flames, and from it the conflagration spread to the splendid residence of Mrs. J. C. Holley.

Two such disastrous fires, occurring at such short intervals, should be a sufficient incentive to move the citizens of Mon ticello to organize an efficient fire department. ?The Mansion House was first erected at the south-east comer of the Public Square, in 1809, by David Hammond, by whom it was kept for many years. It had several additions built on, and was always the largest hotel in the village. From The Liberty Register ot April 19, 1872, we learn that "preparations are being made to build a hotel on the old Mansion House site." t A somewhat remarkable spirit of generosity end fraternity was exhibited by Mr. George M.

Gales is located on the Newburgh & Cochecton Turnpike, on the line of Mamakating. There was formerly a post office here, but it was recently discontinued. The settlement of the town was commenced in 1795 by Hon. Wmi A. Thompson, who located at Thompsonville, to which place, as well as the town, he gave his name. Mr. Thompson graduated at Yale College in 1782, and after study ing law with Gov. Griswold of Conn., he commenced its practice at Greenwich, in that State, where he did a lucrative business. In July, 1785, he married Frances Knapp, who died June 11, 1788. Sept. 17, 1791, he married his wife's sister, Amy, and as such connections were .prohibited by the laws of Connecticut, he moved to New York for the purpose of con summating the union, and practiced his profession in New York City. Land speculation was much in vogue at that time and Mr Thompson engaged in it with spirit and success. He purchased between twenty and thirty thousand acres in. this County, and in the spring of 1795 he commenced their settle ment, with a view partially of improving his health which had become somewhat impaired., He brought with him mill wrights and commenced the erection of, a saw mill, which he completed in about four months. He next erected a grist mill which was completed the following year. He returned to New York in the fall, leaving John Knapp and wife to superintend affairs during his absence. Knapp was one of the workmen engaged in the erection of the mills, and grand father of the Knapps now residing in Thompsonville and Falls burgh. Mr. Thompson came ^ack in the spring with his family, and spent the summer on his new possessions. He continued to spend his summers here, and his winters in New York, until 1801, in which year he made tljis his permanent residence and occupied a house on the hill near the present " family mansion." He was appointed a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Ulster Co., and April 2, 1805, he was appointed First Judge of Ulster Co., which office he filled until after the erection of Sullivan County, in 1809, on the 1st of June of 'which year he was appointed First Judge of the latter County, and held the office until old age incapacitated him for performing its duties. His wife, Amy, who bore him six daughters and one son, died Aug. 3, 1807. He subsequent ly married Charity Reed, widow of Sheldrick Reed, who bore him five daughters and two sons. He died Deo. 9, 1847.* ?About 1825 Mr. Thompson Interested himself in the study of geology, on which subject he contributed some valuable papers to the Journal qf Science', some of which were opposed to the theories of Prof. Buckley and attracted the attention of the scientists of Europe, and won for him an honorary membership in the " Geological Society and the Hoyal Institute of France"— an honor which but two others in the United States then enjoyed.

The first school was taught by Asa Hall, at Bridgeville ; the first mills erected in the town were those built by Judge Thompson at Thompsonville. This town in common with others of the County and the country adjacent to it was, until a comparatively recent date, infested . with wild beasts. These . uncongenial and savage neighbors rendered neqessary in the early settlers of this region a familiarity with the use of fire arms and similar weapons, both as a means of protection from their attack and to procure game for the larder, (for stock raising was not a profitable business so long as these animals existed in such abundance,) and developed qualities which would . illy grace the cultured descendants of these hardy. pioneers. But long after this mode of living ceased to be a necessity and the number of wild beasts was so much deduced as to make them far less, if at all troublesome, in certain localities, there were those who had acquired so great a passion for the exciting, pleasures of the chase that they only needed an opportunity to indulge it.

Many thrilling stories of daring adventures with bears and other animals have been narrated to us, and doubtless possess much of interest for many of our readers, could we devote the space necessary for their reproduction.* The Presbyterian Church at Monticello was organized with twelve members Sept. 5, 1810, by Rev. Daniel C. Hopkins, a missionary sent out by "the General Assembly of the Presby terian Church. Rev. John Boyd became its first pastor. Their house of worship was erected in 1844, at a cost of §4,000. . It will seat five hundred persons. Rev. ' T. M. Dawson is the *The following story, whose substance we give, was related to us by the hero of the occasion, who has recently retired from active business life in Monticello. One winter's day, about the year 1819, "Uncle Billy," who was then a yonng man, and lived in that part of ForeBtburgh which was formerly included in this town, was engaged at shingle making in the woods. In the evening, while on his way home, he discovered in the snow which had fallen during the day the fresh tracks of a large bear. A hunt was planned, and early the next morning, in company with two other young men of the neighborhood, he sallied out in search of the bear. Thetrailwas Boon found and easily followed westward, in a tortuous course, toward the Mongaup. "Uncle Billy"' carried his rifle, while one' of his companions carried an ax as an offensive or de fensive weapon, as circumstances might determine ; the other was unarmed. About noon they came near the Mongaup, where the snow was considerably trodden for several rods about, and where it was concluded the bear's den must be. The search was begun and soon "Uncle Billy" discovered a large, flat rock, under which was a large, dark and deep hole. Be peered into and placed his ear near the aperture, but conld detect no sound from within. He out a pole, about sixteen feet long, which he inserted in the opening and pushed forward as far as possible. The pole came in con tact with a substance which was soft and yielding, but provoked neither sound nor movement indicating the presence of any living thing witBm. The pole, on being with drawn, revealed no trace of dirt, nor anything which enabled him to determine the nature of the object it touched. Having split the pole at the end, he again inserted it, and after vigorously thrusting and twisting it round several times, without, however eliciting any Bound or movement from within, he again withdrew it, and this time the presence of hair in the split revealed the fact that it had come in contact with some animal, which, "Uncle Silly" was assured was the bear in question. He called to his companions for assistance. One of them came promptly, but the other, in whom the suspense had awakened a vivid apprehension of danger, counseled a return home. " Uncle Billy," however, who had become more interested in his work as the evidences of the presence of the bear accumulated, was not to be deterred from a furiher prosecution of the search, and was determined not to forego the anticipated pleasure which the sight of and capture of the bear would awaken, through the timidity Of his companion. He now sharpened the pole, at the end, to a point, and again pnnched away with all his might. This treatment produced the desired effect. Sud denly " Uncle Billy " was made aware that the bear was aroused; for It seized the end of the pole and approached the entrance to its cave, pushing both pole and "Uncle Billy" before it. Grasping his rifle, "Uncle Billy** welcomed the bear when it emerged to sightwith a shot, which caused it to fall back several feet Into the cave, where it lay perfectly still. It was faintly discernible, but not sufficiently so to enable them to determine whether it was dead or not. The timid young man now deemed it safe to go to the assistance of his companions, but having waited some time and seen no movement from the bear, his feare again assailed him and he again urged his com panions to go home. Ho was again overruled. After unsuccessful attempts to pull the bear out with croiiched poles, "Uncle Billy" decided to go down/head Brst into the den and thne secnre-hiin. His companions were instructed to take hold of his feet and be in readiness to pull him out quickly if neces sary. The plan was successful. The bear was quite dead, and in a few minutes both it and its captor were pulled to the surface. Afterthe lapse of some two minutes their attention was attracted by a noise in the den, and a smaller, female, bear showed its head at the opening. A shot from the rifle soon placed her hore d e combat and' caused her to fall hack into the hole, from which she too was soon dragged. It was^ow dusk and they were occupied with the question as to how to get the boars home. The feet, of the small bear were tied together and it slnng across the shoulder of one of the party. The large bear was suspended from a pole and carried by the other two. In this way they reached the road, a mile distont, just at dark, when they met a team with an empty sled, on which they were permitted te> deposit their hum whieh with therhselves, was soon conveyed home.

Trialof Mowers and Reapers was neld . at Syracuse in 1857, this admirable machine, which had just been brought out, surprised everybody by its novelty and many excel lencies, and won the highest awards. At that time the valuable patents under which it was built were secured for several States by the enterprising firm which, now con tinues its manufacture, Adriance, Piatt & Co. At the second great trial of Mowers . and Reapers, made by the N. Y. State Agri cultural Society in 1866, the Buckeye again carried off the highest honors, showing that in the years intervening it had not gone backward in the race for superiority. Every new suggestion is thoroughly weighed, improvements only are adopted. The verdict of the. people is nearly as unani mous as that of the learned and practical committees who made these awards, for Its sales far exceed those of any other ma chine in the sections supplied by Adriance, Piatt & Co. In fact they increase so fast, that the demand is almost always in ex cess of the supply. The Self-Raking At tachment on the Buckeye Machine has met Sith a success corresponding to that of the ower, and has surpassed all others in the perfection of its operation. One great secret of the success of Adriance, Piatt & Co., as manufacturers, has been in the con scientious manner in which they have built their machines, and the great dura bility of the Buckeye machine has been largely due to the excellence of the mate rial used and the mechanical perfection of the workmanship. See advertisement on Map: Dr. Kingsley, of Rome, justly cele brated for the many cures he has effected of that most distressing disease, Cancer, pub lishes a notice on page 1. He is prepared to treat all scrofulous diseases, and otherB of long standing, and assures his patients that they wiU not be charged a heavy bill and dismissed without receiving any bene fit. Persons who cannot conveniently call upon him in person, can address him by letter, and will receive prompt attention. Dr. E. is a graduate, with an experience of over fourteen years in the practice of medi cine. Let the afflicted give him a call. James H. Stratton, proprietor of the "New Hotel" and Livery, Thompson ville, publishes a card on page 300 in this book. ThiB hotel is new and weU arra. ged for the accommodation of guests, and its Landlord takes pains to make their stay pleasant, and furnish them such informa tion as they may require. Those traveling this way will find a home with Mr. Stratton. Samnel K. Brown, of Monticello, wants 1,000 customers, to bny Groceries and Provisions, Floor, Feed &c. Call and. see him — his prices must suit you. He ad vertises on page 866. > J. R. Gardner ic Sons, of Falls burgh, are dealers in dry goods, groceries, crockery, glassware, hardware, drugs, medicines, boots,- shoes, hats, , caps and clothing, &c, and are also agents for the original Howe, Finkle & Lyon, and Grover & Baker Sewing Machines. Messrs Gard ner keep a first class country store, and believe in letting the people know that they are here and mean business. They ate receiving goods nearly every day, to supply the place of those taken away by their numerous customers. Their stock is well selected, and we hope that all who read this will give them a call. They adver tise on page 834. John Gorton, at Divine's Corners, P. O. address Loch Sheldrake, N. Y., manu factures both heavy and light Wagons and Carriages, Sleighs and Cutters, from the best of material, also manufacturer of Horse Rakes. Mr. Gorton has had many years experience as a wagon maker, and employe no hoys to do bis work, but attends promptly to all jobs himself. We hope that our patrons will give him a large share of their custom. See his advertisement on page 849. ' N. F. Green, Proprietor of the Cheap "New York Store," at Monticello, sells Dry Goods, Fancy Goods and Clothing, in styles and quantities to suit his customers. Mr. Green formerly peddled goods through out Sullivan Co., and has consequently made a large number of valued acquaintan ces, all of whom he would be glad to meet at his store when they visit Monticello. He assures his friends that he will give them good bargains at all times. His advertise ment may be found on page 866. Mrs. Wm, O. Allan, Fashionable Milliner and Dress Maker, at Monticello, publishes a card on page 378. Ladies will find her prompt and careful in execnting their orders. We commend her to the pat ronage of the pubUc. Lester Gennng>s Produce For* war dine Line, between Monticello and New York. The advantages of this line to Farmers and Merchants who have produce to sell in the City, are worthy of their attention. Mr. Gennng, the first to start this new enterprise, goes to the City with his produce ana selects the best class of customers as purchasers of his goods. These customers he holds, and the result is natural that the produce he handles in this way should bring a larger return to the producer than if sold at home to New York speculators, or shipped to New York on consignment to some stranger. Mr. Genung can handle your produce in New York to better advantage than you could yourselves. If yon have not already ship ped by him, when yon next have Butter, Cheese, Eggs, Grain or Fruit to ship to the City, try Genung's Produce Forwarding Line.
