In presenting the initial number of the “Gazeteer and Directory of Ontario County” to the public, the publisher desires to return his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly assisted in obtaining the valuable information which it contains, and without whose aid it would have been impossible to have collected, in the brief space of time in which it is essential that all such works should be com- pleted. Especially are our thanks due to the several editors of the Geneva Courier, Geneva Gazette, Ontario Citizen, Ontario Re- pository and Ontario County Times, for the uniform kindness which has been evinced in calling public attention to the author’s efforts; and to them and the following gentlemen, viz: Col. E. W. Prince, W. N. Smith and Prof. W. D. Wilson, of Geneva; Jacob A. Wader, of Orleans; Samuel E. Norton, of Phelps; Henry J. Wemett, of Canadiee; N. K. Cole, Manchester; Edward Herendeen, of Farm- ington; Spencer Gooding, A. H. Howell, and Maj. Richardson of Canandaigua; Elijah Wells, of Naples; for essential aid in furnish- ing material for the work. We have also drawn largely from “ French’s Gazetteer of the State of New York,” and from “Turner’s History of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase.” Many others have kindly volunteered their aid, to all of whom we return sincere thanks. When it is known that time, equal to nearly three years’ labor, if done by one man, has been devoted to the canvass, and the great difficulty many times experienced by the agents in collecting the necessary information, it is believed the patrons of the work willINTRODUCTION. 8 willingly excuse any seemingly short-comings in the complete- ness of the work. The advertisers in this work represent many of the leading busi- ness men of the County, and we most cheerfully commend them all to the patronage of those under whose observation these pages may come. So complete a canvass of a county for a Business. Directory, and the additions of farmers’ names, together with the number of acres owned or leased by each, the whole arranged alphabetically, after their appropriate post office addresses, we believe has never been attempted by any other publisher. That errors may have occurred in so great a number of names and dates as are here given, is probable. The indulgence of the reader is solicited in marking such as had been observed in the sub- sequent reading of the proofs, and which are noted in the Errata, following the Introduction. The Map of the County was engraved with great care by “Weed, Parsons & Co.,” of Albany, and, it is believed, will prove a valua- ble acquisition to the work. With thanks to friends generally, we leave our work to secure the favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating business public. HAMILTON CHILD.ERRATA. 9 E R.RATA. ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. GAZETTEER. County.—On page 26, 2d paragraph, first line, for Freeman's Gazette, read Firemen's Journal. Farmington.—On page 46, 1st paragraph, for New Salem, (p. v.,) read New Salem, {Farmington P. 0.) In same paragraph, Farmington station is erroneously stated to be a post village. In relation to the early settlement of this town, we gain the following from Edward Herendeen, who is in possession of interesting family records “Nathan Herendeen, at the age of 49 years, his wife and one son Welcom, two sons- in-law, John McComber and Joshua Harington and their families, Nathan Comstock and sons, Nathan Aldrich and family; in all comprising about 40 persons, emigrated from Adams, Mass., about the middle of Feb., 1790. From Utica they found their way through the wilderness by marked trees. Cayuga Lake was crossed on the ice near the site or “Long Bridge.” At Seneca Lake outlet they found what was supposed to have been one of Sullivan’s transports, used for the crossing of his expedition. With this they crossed over and arrived finally in Farmington on the 15th day of March, 1790.— Luring the following summer other immigrants came from the same county. Among those earliest pioneers were the Smiths, Hathaways, Paynes and Powers’.” .On page 47, 4th line, after the words Welcome Herendeen, read son cf Joshua Harington, Sept. 17,1790. • Flielps.—On page 56,1st paragraph, Gypsum, (P. 0.,) on the line of Manchester, is a hamlet, was omitted. West Bloomfield.—Since writing up our historical sketch of this town, an oc- currence has happened in the southern part of the town, which presents a most interest- ing phenomenon. We are indebted to Mr. Charles M. Hendee, of West Bloomfield, for the particulars, and for some extracts from an article written by him, which we use. It seems that about “Fifty years ago some of the early settlers living near what is now called “Beebe’s Brook,” (three miles south of our village,) conceived that there was coal or some other valuable mineral in a locality near the brook, and accordingly sunk a shaft to test the matter. After getting down some thirty feet they perceived indications of foul air, and fired a bundle of straw and threw it down the shaft. It instantly ignited and burned high above the surface, causing them to retreat on the double quick (badly scorched) with the entire loss of baggage. It burned a short time and went out, but the experiment induced them to abandon any farther investigations. In later years, parties fishing in the brook by torchlight, could, by touching the surface, (where the water was still) ignite it at pleasure, when it would bum a short time and expire. These facts being well known, when the “oil fever” was at its height some three years since, parties here decided to bore for oil. A company was formed, an engine and the necessary tools procured, and boring commenced. After boring about one hundred feet they struck a crevice which emitted a strong volume of gas. This gave them renewed courage and they bored away for months until they reached a depth of five hundred feet, when their courage and capital being alike exhausted they concluded to abandon it And pocket the loss as many a seeker after oil has done before and since.10 EBB AT A. Since then the well has remained in statu quo (the volume of gas never flagging for a moment) until about the first of July, when one of onr citizens visited it to show it to a visiting friend, and concluded to try an experiment with it. Accordingly he attached a lead pipe to the curbing tube to conduct it outside of the building, and applied a lighted match to it, when, “presto change,” quicker than you could say “Jack Robinson,” the pipe melted, the flame following it up. They used every effort to extinguish it, but in vam. It would not “out” at their bidding any more than the spot of blood from the hand of Lady Macbeth. It reached the building in less time than I could write it, and in a short time the structure was a mass of smoking ruins, the heat damaging the engine past repair, leav- ing damages of $1,000 or so for some one to pay. Since then it has burned constantly. The iron tubing rises fifteen feet above the surface, and a roaring, surging, leaping col- umn, of five or six inches in diameter, rises thirty feet above that, making the vicinity light as day, in the darkest night. The reflection on the sky can be seen for miles away. The well is situated in a romantic dale, with a pebbly brook running near it. The ground is carpeted with a thick green turf, and altogether it is a charming place at which to spend a few hours pic-nicing, aside from the burning well. It is already a favorite trysting place for the young folks, so much so that they have changed the old song to meet the new order of things. Instead of “O Meet Me by Moonlight, &c.,” it is— O meet me by gaslight alone, And then I will tell thee a tale, It must be told by the gaslight alone, In the grove close by the on well. And appointments can be made with some certainty, as the well ever shines, while it is notorious that the moon utterly refuses to shine on dark nights.” The well we understand is situated on the farm of the “Beebe Brothers,” and although it has burned continually for some three months, no signs of its abatement as yet ap- pears. The supply of gas seems inexhaustible. It is being visited by travelers from abroad, and should it continue to bum, it will eventually render West Bloomfield one of the noted places in the tourist’s guide book. DIRECTORY.

It embraced a wide extent of territory, from which Steuben County was taken off in 1796, Genesee in 1802, parts of Monroe and Livingston in 1821, and Yates and a part of Wayne in 1823. A strip west of Seneca Lake was annexed from Montgomery County, Feb. 16, 1791, and a small tract in the fork of Crooked Lake, from Steuben, Feb. 25, 1814. It is centrally distant 180 miles from Albany, and contains an area of 640 square miles. It lies on the extreme northern de- clivities of the central Alleghany Mountain Range, and has a north- erly inclination, the summits of the south hills being elevated about 1,000 feet above the general level of the northern portions. The south part, lying west of Canandaigua Lake, is a hilly and broken region, divided into ridges with steep declivities and summits 1,500 to 1,700 feet above tide. These ridges all take a general north and south direction, declining toward the north, and termin- ating in a beautifully rolling country,, which embraces all of the County lying east of Canandaigua Lake, also those portions west of the lake and north of the north line of the town of Bristol. In this section the ridges rise gradually to a height varying from 20 to 250 feet above the valleys, which affords sufficient inclination for a thorough drainage of the land. A terrace with declivities 100 to 250 feet high, descending toward the north, extends through the northern portions of East and West Bloomfield and the south part of Victor, at right angles to the general range of the ridges. Drift ridges, similar to those found in Wayne and Seneca counties, occu- py the extreme north parts of the County. The geological formation of Ontario County is nearly the same as that of counties lying east of it in the same latitude.

Spencer Gooding, one of the prominent lawyers of Canandaigua, is a descendant of the pio- neer. Elnathan and George Gooding came to this part of the Gen- esee country in 1790, and Alden Sears, and John, George, Farmer, Burt, and William Codding, in 179£. The earliest record of a town meeting is that of 1797, when William Gooding was chosen Super- visor, and John Codding, Town Clerk. There are now four churches in the town, viz: Baptist, CongregatiOnalist, Methodist Episcopal and Universalist. $2,502.47 was expended for common school purposes in 1866-7 ; $733.82 was the amount of public moiiey apportioned; the value of school property was $4,915, and the average daily attendance 219. CAN ADI C E was formed from Richmond, April 15, 1829, and a part was annexed to Richmond in 1836. Its name is a cor- ruption of Skane-a-dice, the Indian name of the lake which lies within its borders. The surface consists of a high, broken upland, separated into two ridges by Canadice Lake. The west ridge, known as Bald Hill, is bordered by steep declivities, and the eastGAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 37 by more gradual slopes. The highest summits are 700 feet above Honeoye Lake* Canadice Inlet and Outlet and Honeoye Outlet are the principal streams. In the valleys the soil is a clay loam, and upon the declivities it is principally disintegrated slate and shale, while on the hill summits in the south part it consists of gravelly loam and black muck. The school property in this town is valued at $3,035. The amount expended for school purposes in the year 1866-7, was $1,764.75; the amount of public money ap- portioned $510.89, and the average daily attendance 138. Canadice (p. v.,) is a hamlet, and forms -the business centre of the town. The first settlement was made by-------- Kimball, in 1807, but soon after John Wilson settled at the head of Canadice Lake, and John Richardson, John Wheeler, Samuel Spen- cer and And. Ward near Canadice Corners. The first tavern was opened by Llewelyn Davisv and Severance & Ford kept the first store. The first saw mill in town was built by John Algur, at the head of Canadice Lake. There are three churches in town,—Meth- odist Episcopal, Methodist Protestant and Wesleyan Methodist. CAJSTANDA.IGrTJA.w2iS formed January. 27, 1789, and a part was annexed to Richmond in 1836. It derives its name from Gan-a-dar-que, a village built by the Seneca Indians on the present site of the village of Canandaigua. The name signifies u a chosen spot.” It is the central town of the County, lying upon the west and north shores of Canandaigua Lake, and embraces a rich agri- cultural district. The surface is level or gently rolling in the north, but hilly in the south, the extreme summits being about 600 feet above the lake. The soil is a clay loam in the north, and a deep, gravelly loam in the south. For fertility and productive- ness, Canandaigua ranks as one of the first towns in the State>— Canandaigua Outlet, Beaver Creek and Stevens Brook, are the principal streams., Canandaigua,, the County Seat, situated at the foot of Canandai- gua Lake, is an important station on the N. Y. C. R. R., and is the , terminus of the N. F. and C. Branch, and of the E. J. and C. R. R. Two low pressure steamers ply daily between Canandaigua and W oodville, at the head of the lake, dnring the navigation season, and connection is made with Naples, four miles south of Wood- ville, by a stage route. It contains a splendid court-house, a State ; arsenal, six churches, an academy, a female seminary, a private lunatic asylum, an orphan asylum, two newspaper offices, three banks—two of issue and one of deposit—and four or five hotels.— It has also some extensive establishments for the manufacture of plows, doors, sash and blinds, a planing mill and ^ great brewery. It was incorporated April 18,1815, and has a population of 5,146, according.to the census of 1865, an increase of more than 1,000, 38 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. since 1855. The State Arsenal is situated on the brow of a hill, a little to the west of the village, and is of ancient date, having been authorized prior to the war of 1812. One thousand stand of arms was ordered to be deposited there, February 12,1808. The Acade- my was founded by Phelps and Gorham, who gave large grants of land to the institution. The charter was granted March 4, 1795, that venerable document being now in the possession of Alexander H. Howell, Esq., Secretary of the Board of Trustees. It bears the signature of George Clinton, Chancellor of the University of New York, and the impression on the State Seal is entirely effaced by age. That the founders of this institution had an eye to the instruc- tion of the youth in the fundamental principles of Republican Gov- ernment, then so lately and dearly established, as well as in classi- cal and scientific lore, is evident from a deed, also in possession of the Secretary, granting 2,500 acres of land to be sold or put to rent, $20 of the proceeds of which shall be given to that young man, who at the yearly Commencement, shall publicly pronounce, in the opinion of a majority of the Trustees present, the best oration “ On the Transcendent Excellence of genuine, representative Republican I Government, effectually securing equal Liberty founded on the * | Rights of Man.” The Academy building was raised in 1797, but ! has since been remodelled and enlarged. It stands on Main street, ; surrounded by about 20 acres, laid out in fine grounds, with beauti- \ ful shade trees, walks, etc., etc. The Ontario Female Seminary ' S was founded mT.825, and is a prosperous institution. The build- \ ings are commodious and pleasantly situated upon beautiful grounds, ; also on Main street. The Brigham1 Hall Lunatic Asylum, incorpo- \ rated in 1859, is about one mile south-west of the Court House. > The grounds comprise about 70 acres, and the buildings, with ac- ; commodations for 80 patients, are located in a fine grove of 16 ; acres. The plaee-is retired and the treatment successful. The On- ; tario Orphan Asylum was incorporated under a special act in 1863, : and has real estate to the value of $5,000, while the personal prop- erty is valued at $1,600. It is capable of accommodating 60 in- mates. It is controlled by a board of Protestant trustees and managers, and occupies a building erected for a dwelling, with six- teen ropms, basement, dining room, etc. The receipts for the year ending May 1865, were $4,423,88, exclusive of donations of pro- visions, etc., from Canandaigua and surrounding towns. The County Agricultural Society has a lot containing 10 acres, with suita- ble buildings, within the corporation limits. The Wood Library Association was organized several years ago by the residents of the village, and a Library and Reading Room has been established, which is located in the building containing the town offices, and is supported by subscription of the members. The Library now com- prises nearly 2,000 volumes, and the Reading Room is supplied GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 39 with files of the leading daily and weekly papers, and standard maga- zines. The collection of a cabinet of minerals, shells, Indian curi- osities, etc., has been commenced, and it already contains several valuable specimens. A lecture course is maintained during a por- tion of the year. The early history of Canandaigua is full of interest, but the limits of the present work will not admit of a detailed account of all the incidents which transpired in the course of early settlement, and we can only hope to afford the reader a mere glance at the events which transpired in those remote and momentous times. Proba- bly nearly every person into whose hands this work may fall, is already familiar with the history of the Phelps and Gorham pur- chase, which was accomplished in 1788. After the conclusion of the treaty, and before leaving the country, Mr. Phelps made ar- rangements for the survey of the newly purchased lands into Ran- ges and Townships, which was done under contract, by Col. Hugh Maxwell, who, assisted by Judge Porter, completed the work in 1789. As the foot of Canandaigua Lake was a central locality in. the purchase, Mr. Phelps determined to make it the center of future operations in the new country, and accordingly erected a storehouse on the bank of the lake. The next step was to make the primitive roads leading to and from the site thus selected. Men were em- ployed at Geneva, who underbrushed and continued a sleigh road from where it had been previously made on Flint Creek, to the foot of Canandaigua Lake, following pretty much the old Indian trail. A wagon road was next constructed to Manchester. No one win- tered in Canandaigua in 1788-9, but early in the spring, Joseph Smith moved his family from Geneva, and occupied the log store- house previously referred to. He then built a block house on the rise of ground, on what is now Main street, and there opened the first tavern in Canandaigua. Early in May 1789, Gen. Israel Chap- in arrived at Canandaigua, accompanied by eight or ten others, and selected his residence near the Outlet. Soon after, Mr. Walker, agent for Phelps and Gorham, arrived with a party, and opened a land office. Judge John H. Jones was one of the party who open- ed the road from Geneva to Canandaigua, in 1788, and on revisiting the place in August, 1789, he says: “ There was a great change. When we left in the fall of ’88, there was hot a solitary person there; when I returned, fourteen months afterwards, the place was full of people; residents, surveyors, explorers, adventurers; houses were going up; it was a busy thriving place.” From this time set- tlement was quite rapid, and, in 1792, there were 30 families in town. In all those early years the forest afforded plenty of veni- son, and the lake and small streams abounded in fish. Whortle- berries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, wild plums and crab apples, were plenty in their season, and afforded a pretty fair 40 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. substitute for cultivated fruits. The first currants were served up at the table of Mrs. Hannah Sanborn, at a tea party, in 1794, and the event marked an era in the history of the place. The first Town Meeting was held in April, 1791. Israel Chapin was chosen Su- pervisor, and James D. Fish, Town Clerk. Among the first items of legislation, we find the following which were voted at that Town Meeting: “ Voted, That swine, two months old and upward, shall have good and sufficient yokes.” “ Voted, That for every full grown wolf killed in town, a bounty of thirty shillings shall be paid.” By the town records of 1794, it seems that Anannias M. Miller had a mill in operation on Mud Creek. In 1795, the sale of several slaves, the property of residents of Canandaigua, is recorded. The first Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions was held at the house of Nathaniel Sanborn, in November, 1794, Timothy Hosmer and Charles Williamson, being the presiding Judges, associated with whom, as Assistant Justice, was Enos Boughton. The At- torneys were, Thomas Morris, John Wickham, James Wadsworth and V incent Matthews. There were a number of suits on the cal- endar, but no jury trial was had. A Grand Jury was impanelled and one indictment found. The next session of the court was in June, 1795, and Peter B. Porter and Nathaniel W. Howell, At- torneys of the Supreme Court, were admitted to practice in the courts of Ontario County, as also were Stephen Boss and Thomas Mumford. The first jury trial west of Herkimer county, was held at this Court; the case being the trial of an indictment, preferred at the previous session, for stealing a cow bell. John Wickham, as the County Clerk, was ex-officio District Attorney, but the prose- cution devolved on Nathaniel W. Howell, while the defence was conducted by Peter B. Porter and Vincent Matthews. Canandai- gua from the earliest period has been noted for the high reputation of her bar, which has at times included the very best legal ability of the State. Although not entitled to it by population, in 1791, Ontario County was by special act entitled to a representative in the As- sembly, and, in 1792, Gen. Israel Chapin was sent to that legisla- tive body. Thomas Morris, son of Robert Morris, who purchased the pre-emption right of what was afterward the Holland Purchase and Morris Reserve, was an early settler at Canandaigua, and was the first representative in Congress from all the region west of Seneca Lake. John Clark came with Oliver Phelps to the treaty in 1788. His trade was that of a tanner and currier, and he manu- factured the first leather made in the Genesee country. This was from the hides of cattle driven on to supply beef for the Indians at the treaty. His vats were formed of sections of hollow trees, andGAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 4,1 from this small beginning, grew up a flourishing business which, in time, extended over a wide region. Luther Cole was the first mail carrier, his route being from Canandaigua to Whitesboro. Phineas P. Bates, in 1800, was the mail boy from Canandaigua to Fort Ni- agara. The first birth was that of Oliver Phelps Rice, and the first death that of Caleb Walker, both of which occurred in 1790.— Samuel Gardner opened the first store, and the first school was taught by Major Wallis, in 1792. At the time of the sickness of Mr. Walker, Dr.. Adams, of Geneva, was the nearest physician, and, on being sent for, visited the sick man. He was destitute of medi- cine, but obtained some by breaking open a chest left by a traveler. At the funeral, the physician being an Episcopalian, read the burial service, which was the first religious exercise after settlement was commenced in the Genesee country. In the same year, however, religious meetings were held in Judge Phelps’ barn, sermons being read by John Call, singing was led by Mr. Sanborn, and prayers were omitted, as there was no one to make them. Dr. Moses At- water settled in Canandaigua, in 1791, and was the first physician. He was an early Judge of Ontario County, and died in 1848, at the advanced age of 82 years. In this hasty review of the early history of this beautiful village, scores of names, well known as pioneers, have been necessarily , omitted, but in this connection, we desire briefly to allude to a man who, from his great charity, philanthrophy and benevolence, is en- titled to remembrance, as the Howard of his region. We refer to William Wood, who, though not himself a pioneer, has done much to perpetuate the memory of the pioneers, and keep the recollec- tion of their deeds fresh and green in the hearts of their posterity, j Mr. Wood was a bachelor, and a native of Charlestown, Mass. At : one time he was an importer in Boston, and subsequently became a cotton dealer in New Orleans, where he was noted for deeds of ■ philanthrophy. Finally, becoming a resident of Canandaigua, he endeared himself to all, on account of his quiet, unostentatious man- ners and charitable deeds. The public edifices, streets, and the rural church-yard, all bear testimony to his public spirit. He was in the habit of occasionally visiting the jail, carrying apples, books and other acceptable presents to the inmates, and many a weary pris- oner has had his hours of loneliness beguiled and cheered by the gen- tle kindness and sympathy of this most estimable man. In many cities and villages of this country and in England, he was instru- mental in establishing libraries and schools, mainly for the benefit of mechanics, apprentices and clerks. He collected and placed in appropriate positions, in the Court House at Canandaigua, the por- traits of the pioneers of the Genesee country. He has been dead some years, but his memory is held in respectful and affectionate veneration by all who knew him.42 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. Canandaigua has numbered among her inhabitants many dis- tinguished men. Hon. Gideon Granger was Postmaster General, under Jefferson’s administration ; and his son, Hon. Francis Gran- ger, held the same office under Harrison. Among the distinguished names of which this place may well be proud, we may mention Hon. M. H. Sibley, Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, Gen. John A. Gran- ger, and Ex-Gov. Myron H. Clark. Cheshire (p. v.) is a small village of about 20 houses, in the south part of the town. Centerfield is a hamlet, and Academy, near the south line, is a post office. The first church was organized at Canandaigua, Feb. 4, 1799, it being St. Matthew’s, Episcopal, now St. John’s. The Congrega- tional Church was organized Feb. 25,1799. There are 11 churches in town. The amount of money expended for common schools in the town of Canandaigua in the year 1866-7, was $8,754.83; the amount of public money apportioned $2,088.24; the value of school property $14,800, and the average daily attendance 540. BAST BLOOMFIELD was formed January 27, 1789, as Bloomfield. Mendon and Victor were taken off in 1812; its name was changed and West Bloomfield taken off in 1833. It is an interior town, lying north-west of the center of the County. The surface is rolling, with slight inclination to the north, the ridges rising 50 to 600 feet above the valleys. The soil is extremely fertile, consisting of deep, gravelly loam, in places mixed with clay. It is a superior agricultural section, raising fine grain. Grapes and hops are cultivated tc* a large extent, and considerable attention is paid to the cultivation and improvement of fruit, many young orchards having been set out within a few years. $3,008.16 was expended for common school purposes in the year 1866-7. The amount of public money appropriated was $808.62 ; the value of school property is $5,250, and the average daily attendance of pupils 260. Griffith's Mills, in the east, Brag Village, in the south-east, and Shepherd's Mills, in the north-east part of the town, are hamlets. East Bloomfield (p. v.) is a thrifty and growing village of about 600 inhabitants, three-fourths of a mile from East Bloomfield Station, on the N. *Y. C. R. R. It contains three churches, a flourishing academy, incorporated in 1838, manufactories of agricultural im- plements and carriages, and an extensive furnace and-machine shop. A large freight house, and a planing mill and machine shop are in process of construction. A Soldier’s Monument was erected in East Bloomfield, January, 1867, by subscription. It is a plain shaft of gray stone, 60 feet high, surmounted by a full size statue representing a soldier in full uniform, and was erected at an ex- pense of $6,000. On it is inscribed the name of every enlisted GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 43 soldier of the town, who died in the discharge of his duty as a de- fender of the national flag. The town lost heavily in the late sanguinary struggle, and this beautiful shaft, pointing upward in its solemn and silent eloquence, shall be an eternal memorial of the gallant deeds and heroic self-sacrifice of those whose ashes rest beneath its shadow. “ How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, By all their country’s wishes blest! When Spring, with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallow’d mold, She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than Fancy’s feet have ever trod. By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung; There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay; And Freedom shall awhile repair, To dwell, a weeping hermit, there.” The settlement of East Bloomfield was commenced at the same time as that of Canandaigua. The east township was purchased by Capt. William Bacon, Gen. John Fellows, Elisha Lee, Deacon John Adams and Dr. Joshua Porter. Deacon Adams was the pioneer settler and patriarch, as he brought with him a large family, consisting of his wife, his sons John, Abner, Joseph, Wil- liam and Jonathan; his sons-in-law, Ephraim Rew, Lorin Hull, and-------Hecox, with their wives; and Elijah Rose, a brother-in- law, and his family, and three unmarried daughters. Joined with these were Moses Gunn, Lot Rew, John Barnes, Roger Sprague, Asa Hickox, Benjamin Goss, John Keyes and Nathaniel Norton. The company was from Berkshire County, Mass., and early in the spring of 1789, they left Schenectady for the then wilderness, some traveling by water with the furniture and stores, and the others going with pack horses, following the Indian trails. In May they were joined by Augustus Porter, Thaddeus Keyes, Joel Steele, Eber Norton and Orange Woodruff, who, on their arrival, found the Adams family living in a log house 30x40 feet, which was the first dwelling erected west of Canandaigua after white settlement commenced. To accommodate so large a family with lodgings, berths, one above the other, were swung up on wooden pins driven into the walls. The emigrants fortunately brought on a good stock of provisions and a number of cows; and, wild game being plenty, they were enabled to live comfortably. Dr. Daniel Chapin was the early physician of Bloomfield, and was the second repre- sentative of Ontario County in the State Legislature. Amos Bronson was an early settler, and Benjamin Goss was in the new country as early as 1791. He married a daughter of Deacon George Codding, of Bristol, and theirs was the first marriage in 44 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. the town, and indeed in the whole Phelps and Gorham Purchase. Nathaniel Norton was from Goshen, Conn., and founded the mills bearing his name, on Ganargwa Creek, in Bloomfield. JECe was an early Sheriff and representative of the County.— Daniel Gates located in Bloomfield in 1790, and built the first mill on Honeoye Creek. The first death was that of Lot Rue, in 1793. Gen. Fellows put up the first saw mill, on Mud Creek, in 1790, and the first store was opened in 1806, by Norton & Beach. Moses Sperry joined his fortunes to those of the new settlers in 1794, and James Sperry, one of his sons, fur- nished an interesting collection of reminiscences for the pages of Turner’s History of Phelps and Gorham’s Purchase, from which we make some extracts. Mr. Sperry says “Among the trials of the first settlers, there were none more irritating than the de- struction of sheep and swine by the wolves and bears. Often whole flocks of sheep would be slaughtered in the night by the wolves. Bears preyed upon the hogs, that, from necessity, the new settlers were obliged to let run in the woods for shack. One of the Coddings, in Bloomfield, came pretty near having a clinch with one, while in the woods splitting rails. Stooping down to pick up his ax to cut off a sliver, he turned around and found him- self confronted by a bear standing on his hind legs, with fore paws extended, to give him a hug. He declined the offer, struck the bear in the head with the ax, but making a glancing stroke, failed to penetrate the skull. The bear fled, bearing off the ax, which was held by the wounded skin and flesh.” “Although the privations of the first settlers were numerous and hard to bear; having often to go without meat, and sometimes bread ;. obliged to go on horseback to mill, often fifteen and twenty miles; to go with poor shoes and moccasins in winter, and bare- foot in summer; yet, to their praise be it recorded, that they showed considerable zeal in the support of schools for their chil- dren. When our family arrived, in March, 1794, there was a school in the north-east corner of the town, kept by Laura Adams. The next spring a seven by ten log school house was put up about one and a half miles south-west of the center, where a school was kept by Lovisa Post. Betsey Sprague kept this school in the winter of ’96 and ’97. My eldest brother and myself attended this school in the winter, walking two and a half miles through the snow across the openings, not with ‘old shoes and clouted’ on our feet, but with rags tied on them to go and come in, taking them off in school hours.” Mr. Sperry speaks at some length of a young man, who, in the fall of 1797, came into the neighborhood one mile north of his father’s, and introducing himself as a school teacher from the land of steady habits, proposed to the settlers that they form a newGAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 45 district and he would keep the school. The proposition was accept- ed and all turned out, late in the season, and built another log school house, assisted by the young man, who kept the school during three successive winters. Mr. Sperry says: “ In this school the most of us learned for the first time that the earth is round and turns around on its axis once in twenty-four hours, and revolves around the sun once a year. I shall never for- get the teacher’s manner of illustrating these facts. For want of a globe, he took an old hat, the crown having ‘gone up to seed,’ .doubled in the old limber rim, marked with chalk a line around the middle for the equator, and another representing the ecliptic, and held it up toward the scholars, with the ‘ seed end ’ toward them, and turning it commenced the two revolutions. The simul- taneous shout which went up from small to great, was a ‘caution’ to all young school masters how they introduce new things to young pioneers. Although this school master was a favorite with parents and pupils, the most orthodox thought he was talking of something of which he knew nothing, and was teaching for sound doctrine what was contrary to the common sense of all; for everybody knew that the earth was flat and immovably fixed, and that the sun rose and set every day.” The teacher who introduced this “ pre- posterous” doctrine, became Justice of the Peace, a member of the Legislature, a representative in Congress, and was afterwards known as Gen. Micah Brooks, of Brooks’ Grove, Livingston County. The first meeting house in the Genesee country was erected in Bloomfield in 1801, Robert Powers being the builder. It was not finished, although used for religious services, till 1807 and ’8. An- cient occupancy was clearly traced at the time of first settlement in Bloomfield. In the north-east corner of the town many gun bar- rels, locks and stock barrels, of French construction, and toma- hawks, were plowed up and used for mending and making agricul- tural implements. There were many old Indian burying grounds in the town, and when opened, ancient curiosities were discovered. The stones used by the Indians for peeling bark, skinning animals, and pounding their corn, were frequently found and preserved as curiosities by the settlers. FAH^MINGTOlf was formed January 27, 1789, and took its name from Farmington, Conn. Its location is on the north border of the County, west of the center. The surface is nearly level in the south, but in the north it is broken, owing to the drift ridge peculiar to this section of country, which rise 50 to 100 feet above the general surface. Toward the north and west the decliv- ities are steep, but in the south they run off into gradual slopes. The streams are Mud and Beaver Creeks and Black Brook. A strip of land across the south part, embracing about three tier of46 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. lots, has a clay soil. A marshy section lies north of this, and yet farther north the soil is a gravelly loam, very productive, with good proportions of arable meadow and pasture lands throughout the town. The amount of money expended for common school purposes in Farmington for the year 1866-7, was $4,472.92 ; the amount apportioned $761; the value of school property, $5,590, and the average daily attendance 200. New Salem (p. v.) is a small village of about 200 inhabitants, in the north part of the town. It contains about thirty houses, a church (Methodist Episcopal), and several shops. About half a mile east of New Salem are two churches, occupied respectively by the Orthodox and Hicksite branches of the Friends’ Society. Both are large societies. In the south- east part of the town there is another flourishing Hicksite church. Brownville, formerly Norton’s Mills post office, is a hamlet, as is East Farmington. West Farmington is a post office, and Farming- ton, (p. v.,) in the south-west corner of the town, is a small station on the N. Y. C. R. R. At Brownville there was formerly a wool- en factory, which has been discontinued. Fine crops of grain are raised in this town, and it is also devoted to grazing. Farmington was the first sale made by Phelps and Gorham, the purchasers being Nathan- iel Comstock, Benjamin Russell, Abraham Lapham, Ed- mund Jenks, Jeremiah Brown, Ephraim Fish, Nathan Herendeen, Nathan Aldrich, Stephen Smith, Benjamin Rickenson, William Ba- ker, and Dr. Daniel Brown. The deed was given to Nathan Com- stock and Benjamin Russell. All except Russell, Jenks, J, Brown, Fish, Rickenson, Baker and Smith, became settlers on the purchase. In 1789, Nathan Comstock, with two sons, Otis and Darius, and Robert Hathaway, came from Adams, Berkshire County, Mass., a part of them by the water route, landing at Geneva, with their provisions, and a part by land with a horse and some cattle. When the overland party arrived within 15 miles of Seneca Lake, a calf was added to their stock, which Otis Comstock carried on his back that distance. Arriving on the new purchase, they built a cabin, cleared four acres and sowed the ground to wheat. Their horse died, and Darius was obliged to act as a pack horse, go- ing through the woods to Geneva once a week, where he purchased provisions and carried them twenty miles on .his back, to their home in the wilderness. When winter approached the party re- turned to Massachusetts, leaving Otis Comstock to care for the stock during the winter, with no neighbors, other than the Indians and wild beasts, nearer than Boughton Hill and Canandaigua. In Feb., 1790, Nathan Comstock, with his large family, accompanied by several others, set out from Adams, Mass., for Farmington, and during the same year the little colony was increased by.the addi-GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 47 tion of about twenty-five others. Many of these pioneers were Friends, and about 1794 a meeting was organized, being the first, and, for a long period, the only one west of Utica. The first birth was that of Welcome Herendeen, in 1790 ; the first marriage that of Otis Comstock and Huldah Freeman, in 1792, and the first death that of Elijah Smith, in 1793. Jacob and Joseph Smith built a grist mill in 1793, and the first saw mill, in 1795. Wheat was harvested in 1790. The stump mortar was the main dependence in preparing their grain for bread. In the fall of 1790, the clearings had been greatly increased, and considerable fields of wheat were sown. Nathan Aldrich having raised some seed wheat that sea- son, Welcome Herendeen worked for him thirteen days for two bushels and a half, sowed it, and when relating the story in after years, having become owner of broad acres of wheat fields, used to remark that he never had to buy any wheat after that. The first settlers of Farmington brought with them apple seeds and peach and plum pits, and soon had bearing orchards. For years the new settlers in distant neighborhoods went there for apples, which were a great luxury in those primitive days. Farmington and Bloom- field cider, apples and apple sauce, was a great treat throughout the Holland Purchase in those times. The first frame building was put up by Joseph Smith and James D. Fish, of Canandaigua, for an ashery, on the farm of Welcome Herendeen. The first frame barn was built by Annanias McMillen for Isaac Hathaway, in 1793. The same year McMillen put up the grist mill before referred to, on Ganargwa Creek, for Jacob and Joseph Smith. Set- tlers were known to come forty miles to this mill. Not a vestige of it now remains. Dr. Stephen Aldridge was the first physician. Nowhere in all the newly settled region was success so uniform and unparalleled as in Farmington. The wholesome discipline and upright example of the Society of Friends preserved the settle- ment from an excessive use of spirituous liquors, and from other harmful indulgences, while the fruits of their proverbial industry and economy gave the town the pre-eminence it now enjoys. GOttHAMwas formed Jan. 27,1789, as “Easton ” The name was changed to “Lincoln” April 17, 1806, and to Gorham, April 6, 1807. Hopewell was taken off in 1822, and a part of Canandaigua was annexed in 1824. It lies on the east shore of Canandaigua Lake, south-east of the center of the County, and has a rolling surface, the ridges rising in gradual slopes to a height of 20 to 200 feet above the valleys. Flint Creek is the principal stream. The soil in the east part is chiefly a gravelly loam, while in the west it consists of clay, and is generally fertile and produc- tive. The town was named in honor of Nathaniel Gorham. Gorham, (p. v.,) formerly called "Bethel,” three miles from Gor-48 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. ham Station on the Canandaigua & Elmira R. R., contains three churches 'and ahout 300 inhabitants. Reed's Corners (p. v.) contains three churches and about 25 houses. The Town Fair Grounds, nicely enclosed, and containing suitable buildings, are located here. Rushville, (p. v.,) lies partly in the town of Gorham and partly in the town of Potter, Yates County. It is an incorporated village and contains about 800 inhabitants. There are four churches already in the place, and the Methodist Episcopal society is erect- ing a fine building at an estimated cost of $18,000. A hotel, sev- eral dry goods stores, a foundry, steam grist mill, boot and shoe stores, and a cabinet manufactory, comprise the business of the town. There are now six churches in town. James Wood made the first settlement, at Reed’s Corners, in 1789, and in 1790 a few set- tlers began to drop in along the route from Canandaigua to Gen- eva. In July of that year there were in town the families of Dan- iel Gates, Daniel Warren, -------------Sweet, ---------Platt, Samuel Day and Israel Chapin, Jr., who had commenced the erection of mills upon the Outlet. Daniel Gates, Sr., was the first collector of taxes in the town. Among numerous other settlers in 1796-7 was Capt. Frederick Follet, whose adventures bordered on the mar- velous. He was an early settler of the Wyoming valley, and, at one time, in company with four others, was attacked by the In- dians, within sight of Wilkesbarre Fort. Three of his companions were murdered and scalped. Mr. Follet was pierced by two balls, one through each shoulder, stabbed nine times with spears, scalped, and, but for the appearance of aid from the fort, would undoubtedly have been despatched with the tomahawk. His case was consid- ered hopeless, but the fort surgeon, Dr. William Hooker Smith, did all in his power to save his life, and was ultimately successful. Capt. Follet afterward entered the naval service, was captured, taken to Halifax and confined in a dungeon six months; was re- leased, twice recaptured, but finally returned to his native place, Dalton, Berkshire County, Mass., whence he removed to Gorham. It is a singular coincidence that his eldest son who entered the navy as midshipman in 1812, was captured on board the Chesapeake in her engagement with the Shannon, and was also imprisoned six months in the same dungeon previously occupied by his father. Capt. Follet’s posterity were quite numerous, and all rose to hon- orable and useful positions in life, one of his sons, Orrin Follet, having been a member of the legislature, and another, Frederick Follet, having been at onetime one of the Board of Canal Commis- sioners of this State. The first tavern in Gorham was opened in 1800, at Reed’s Corners, by William Sherwood. The first grist mill was built by Levi Benton, the first saw mill by Buckley &GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 49 Craft, in 1807, and the first school was taught by Timothy Moore in 1802. The amount of school money expended in 1866-7 was $3,625.30; the amount apportioned $921.67 j the average daily attendance 237, and the value of school property $4,505. JTO P7? WELL was formed from Gorham,March 29,1822, and is an interior town, lying east of the center of the County. The prin- cipal streams are Canandaigua Outlet, Fall Creek and Fall Brook. The surface varies from a level to a rolling country, and has a gen- eral inclination toward the north. The soil is a sandy and gravelly loam in the west; and the same, intermixed with clay, in the centre and east. Chapinville, (p. v.,) a station on the N. Y. C. R. R., contains a church and about 30 dwellings. Hopewell Centre (p. v.) contains a church and about 25 dwellings, and Hopewell is a post office. Settlement was commenced in this town at about the same time as in Gorham. Among the first settlers were Daniel Gates, Dan- iel Warner,-----— Sweet, Ezra Platt, Samuel Day, George and Israel Chapin, Jr., Frederick Follet, Benj. Wells and Thomas Saw- yer, mostly from Massachusetts, and William WyckofF from Penn- sylvania. The first child, Benj. Wells, Jr., was born Feb. 4, 1791. Calvin Bacon taught the first school in 1792. The first tavern was kept by Ezra Platt, and the first mill was built by Oliver Phelps and Israel Chapin in 1789. There are five churches in town; the first (Presbyterian) having been organized in 1808. The amount of money expended for school purposes in this town in 1866-7, was $2,280.21; the amount apportioned, $806.19; the average daily attendance, 226, and the value of school property $5,585. THA.NCSJESTER was formed from Farmington, March 31, 1821, as “Burt” but the name was changed April 16, 1822. The town lies on the north border of the County, east of the center, and has a level surface in the south, while irregular sand and gravel ridges of the drift formation occupy the north part. Canandaigua Outlet, Fall Creek and Black Brook, are the chief streams. Hy- draulic limestone is quarried to some considerable extent at vari- ous points along the Outlet. The soil is a gravelly loam, and for fertility is unsurpassed by any section of the State. There are a number of flouring mills in town, which do an extensive local business. Clifton Springs, (p. v.) is a flourishing village on the N. Y. C. R. R., and is situated in the east part of the town. It was incorpo- rated in 1859, and contains,*about 450 inhabitants. At this place50 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. are the celebrated Sulphur Springs, which have made Clifton a place of great resort for invalids, while the natural beauty of the village and surrounding country has drawn thither the tourist and the pleasure seeker. A hotel was erected here as a dispensary, in 1806, and a Water-cure was established in 1850 by a stock com- pany, with a capital of $45,000. A commodious building, capable of accommodating 150 patients, was erected, but has now given place to an immense brick structure with greatly increased facili- ties. The grounds are beautifully laid out with lawns, ponds, walks, etc., and the place presents unusual attractions to the invalid. Two kinds of springs are connected with the institution, the fresh water and White Sulphur Springs, the former containing carbonic acid gas in large quantities. The water of the Sulphur Spring was an- alyzed by Dr. Chilton in 1852, with the following result, in grains to one quart: Sulphate of lime,...... “ magnesia,. “ soda, .... Carbonate of lime, ...... “ magnesia,. Chloride of sodium, . . “ calcium,.... “ magnesia,.. Organic matter, ........ 17,80 grs. 4,12 “ 1,94 “ 2,42 “ 8,28 “ 2,82 “ 1,02 “ 1,02 “ . trace. Total, 83,42 Hydrosulphuric and carbonic acids are also found in small quan- tities. An extensive Air Cure has just been established by a stock company, with a paid up cash capital of $75,000. The buildings formerly known as the Clifton Springs Hotel, situated at the head of Main street, in beautiful grounds, comprising about thirty acres, have been purchased, and extensive additions made thereto. The main feature of this institution is the use of the Compressed Air Baths, a method of treatment but lately introduced into this coun- try. Special attention was directed to it by observing the effects wrought upon persons descending in the modern Diving Bell, in which the air is condensed according to the depth to which it de- scends. It was noticed, among other things, that persons seriously affected with deafness, could hear distinctly while subject to the pressure. Accordingly experiments were commenced about thirty years ago, the results of which were published in Germany and France, and they were so satisfactory in many types of disease, that establishments were opened in the principal cities in those countries. They still continue in operation and are now being in- troduced into Canada and the United States. As the system is comparatively new and unknown, it may be interesting to our readers to state that the Air Bath consists essentially of an ironGAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 51 compartment, large enough to contain eight or ten persons, with an entrance door lighted with plate glass, in which the pressure is regulated to any required density by means of valves. The air is forced by a steam engine into a Purified, where all impurities are removed by proper chemical agents, and is conducted thence by a pipe into the bath room, where it passes off through a safety valve. The amount of pure air thus passing through the room is from fifty to one hundred cubic feet per minute, and a constant supply of pure air, of double density, is thus secured for as long a time as is deemed necessary for the good of the patient. The Air Cure went into operation about the 1st of May, 1867, and is meeting with flatter- ing success. There are several extensive vineyards near the vil- lage of Clifton. Manchester is a post Village of 374 inhabitants, and Manchester Center is also a post village, containing about 20 houses. Shortsville (p. v.) on the N. Y. C. R. R., is a thriving town, possessing considerable importance on account of its manu- facturing interests. It is situated on the Canandaigua Outlet, which here offords no inconsiderable water power. The manufacture of seed drills and plaster sowers is carried on extensively, one com- pany turning out about 400 yearly. This company holds patents on the Brown, Empire, and Jessup drills, considered the best in use, and gives employment to a number of mechanics. About 150 tons of castings are turned out annually at this place. A company is also engaged in the manufacture of an Improved Potato Digger. Plows, cultivators, spokes, and general wood work, are also im- portant items in the business'of this growing village. There is quite an extensive foundry in operation, also a woolen factory and paper milk A large establishment for the manufacture of printing, writing and wrapping paper, is being erected the present year. A new school building, neatly and substantially constructed, is being put up, and a graded school will be established. There is one church (Presbyterian,) in the village. Port Gibson, (p. v.) is on the Erie Canal, and is the only point where that important public work touches the County. It contains about 50 houses, one church, two stores, and a number of shops. An extensive steam planing mill and stave factory, and a large malt house, are situated on the canal. Gypsum, {p. o.) formerly called Plainsville, is a small set- tlement, containing about 15 houses, a flouring mill, capable of manufacturing 50 bbls. per diem, a plaster-mill and a saw-mill. $6,335.10 was expended in the town of Manchester for school purposes in' 1866-7. The amount apportioned was $1,157.71, and the average daily attendance 396. The school property is valued at $13,742. Settlement commenced in Manchester, as early as 1793, Stephen Jared, Joel Phelps and Joab Gillett, being the first settlers. Na- than Pierce, from Berkshire, settled in 1795, and put up a log house,52 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. with floors of split bass wood, and destitute of gable ends, doors or windows. The wild beasts were his only neighbors, and they were noted for their many annoyances * Theophilus Short erected the first mill, at Shortsville, in 1804, the first store was opened by Nathan Barlow, and the first school was taught by Elam Crane in 1800. Joshua Van Fleet was one of the earliest settlers. He was an officer in the Revolutionary war, was the first supervisor of Man- chester, a Judge, magistrate and member of the Legislature from Ontario. James Stewart was the first physician. Peleg Redfield, an early settler, in his reminiscences says: “ It was pretty easy for young men to secure farms in the earliest years of settlement. I . knew many who received a dollar a day for their labor, and bought land for twenty-five cents per acre.” Rev. David Irish preached in this town in 1797, and in Feb. 1800, a society was formed, but the first legally organized society was that of the Baptists, in 1804. Ebenezer Pratt, Joseph Wells and Jeremiah Dewey were the first trustees. Among later events, Manchester is-noted as having been the scene of the birth of Mormonism. Joseph Smith, father of the prophet, Joseph Smith, Jr., was from New Hampshire* and first settled near Palmyra, Wayne county, but in 1819 occupied some land on “ Stafford Street,” in the town of Manchester* “ Mormon Hill,” called by the Mormons the “ Hill of Shim,” and locally known as “ Gold Bible Hill,” is on the road from Manchester vil- lage to Palmyra, and is in the town of Manchester. The father of the prophet was a LTniversalist, and subsequently a Methodist, and is described as having been a smatterer in Scriptural knowledge, credulous, indolent, a money digger and a believer in the marvel- ous. Mrs. Smith was a woman of strong, but uncultivated intel- lect, artful and cunning; and the first intimations that a prophet was to spring from that household came from her. Their son Al- vah, was originally destined to be the introducer of the new creed, and was pointed out by the father and mother as the chosen one. But Alvah’s spiritual nature was overbalanced by his carnal appe- tite ; he ate too many green turnips, sickened and died. The mantle then descended on Joseph Smith, Jr. “ Joe” was a lounger, idler, and, according to the accounts given of him, was not altogether free from vicious habits, while his intellectual ability was below the ordinary. But the embryo prophet was possessed of some of his mother’s ambition, and, after catching a spark of Methodistic fire at a camp meeting, in Vienna, he became a passable exhorter. “ Mor- mon Hill,” had long been designated as the depository of hidden treasure, and old Joseph had often dug there while young Joseph ac- companied his father in his midnight delvings, and witnessed the in- cantations of the spirits that guarded it. There is but little doubt that the primitive design of the Smiths was to make money, andGAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 53 that the idea of founding a new sect was an after thought. The ac- count of the discovery of the gold plates, as given by Joe Smith him- self, is briefly as follows: The prophet Joseph was directed by an angel where to find the gold plates, by excavations of the place now called “ Mormon Hill,” and was compelled by the angel, much .against his will, to be the interpreter of this sacred record, and to publish it to the world. He was further instructed that the plates contained a record of the ancient inhabitants of the country,“engraved by Mormon, son of Nephi.” That on the box containing the plates would be found “ a pair of large spectacles, the stones or glass of which were opaque to all but the prophetthat “these belonged to Mormon, the engraver of the plates, and without them they could not be read.” Oliver Cowdry, a school teacher on Stafford street, was an intimate of the Smiths, and was identified with the whole matter. Martin Harris, a worthy farmer of Palmyra, a man given to religious enthusiasm and the running after new creeds, was wrought upon by the Smiths, till his sympathy was enlisted, and he gave out that himself and Cowdry were the chosen amanuenses to transcribe the new Bible, as it was interpreted by Smith, who, to guard against profane curiosity, declared that no one, not even his chosen co-operators, could be permitted to see them under penalty of instant death. Harris had never seen the plates, but the glowing accounts of their massive richness stimulated other than spiritual hopes, and he got a silversmith to estimate their value, taking as a basis the prophet’s account of their size. Harris’ wife was a rank infidel as regarded the whole affair, and she managed somehow to get possession of over one hundred pages of the manuscript and burn it up. It was agreed by the Smiths, Cowdry and Harris, not to re- print it, as the “ evil spirit would get up a story that the second translation did not agree with the first.” The after thought before alluded to, the founding of a new sect, seems to have been at the suggestion of one Sidney Rigdon, of Ohio, who made his appear- ance about the time the book was issued from the press. He had been a Baptist Elder, but had lost his standing in that society, and became the proj ector of the new sect. J oe Smith began to prophesy, Mrs. Smith assumed the air and dignity of the mother of a prophet, and one after another enthusiast was drawn in to swell the propor- tions of the disgraceful swindle. Then occurred the hegira to Kirt- land, then to Nauvoo, and, after a brief stay in Missouri, on over the Rocky Mountains to Utah, where dwellings, temples, cities and a State have been erected on its rotten and unstable foundations. Crooked Brook, the stream in which the baptism of Smith’s moth- er and others of the first saints took place, runs through the north- west part of the town, and the occasion when these baptisms took place are remembered by many who are now living. & ______________________54 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. NAPLES9 originally called “ Watkinstown” and by tike Indians Nun-da-wa-o, “ Great Hill,” was formed Jan. 27, 1789, as “Middletown” but the name was changed in April, 1806. Italy was taken off in 1815, and a part of Springwater in 1816. It is the extreme south town of the County, and the surface is a hilly an elevated upland, broken by the deep and narrow valleys of' Canandaigua and Honeoye Inlets and Grindstone Creek. The hill summits are 600 to 1,000 feet above the lake surface, and 1,300 to 1,700 feet above, tide. The declivities bordering on the streams in general are very steep, High Point and Hatch Hill being the high- est summits. Upon the hills the soil consists of clay and gravel mixed with disintegrated shale and slate $ and in the Valleys it is a rich, gravelly loam, mixed with alluvium. Considerable atten- tion is given to fruit growing. Peaches are raised quite exten- sively, and the cultivation of grapes forms an important and suc- cessful feature in the business of the town. In the southern and western parts the hillsides are everywhere dotted with thrifty and ; beautiful vineyards, and their cultivation is proved to be highly ; profitable. The Isabella and Catawba are the principal varieties t cultivated. Wool growing and the breeding of fine sheep is also i receiving a great deal of attention. Naples (p. v.) on the Canandaigua Inlet, four miles from the lake, is a beautiful and flourishing town of 760 inhabitants. It contains four churches, three grist mills, an iron foundry and man- ufactory of agricultural implements, and a carding factory. A valuable hay fork is also manufactured here. The Naples Acade- my was founded in 1860, and is capable of accommodating 200 to 250 pupils. The school is located in the central part of the village, and is in a flourishing condition. The building is of brick, of hand- le some architectural design and proportion, and is surrounded by I ample and beautiful grounds. A stage line connects Naples with *;■ Woodville, at the head of Canandaigua Lake, whence connection is | • had with Canandaigua by the daily steamers. The trip from Can- f; . andaigua to Woodville affords a delightful variety of beautiful and t : picturesque scenery, and will well repay the traveler who makes it. I Along the west side of the lake numerous cabins are to be seen \ i nestling among the shrubbery near the verge of the water, which | • > .are the summer retreats of various Sportsmen’s Clubs, who annu- ;; ■. ally repair thither in search of game. The. ruffled grouse, duck, and | • v various kinds of small game, are abundant in the proper season, \ and the lake abounds in trout, black bass, white fish and pickerel. I Seneca Point, ten miles above Canandaigua, is a charming summer :*• retreat,reached by steamer four times a day. A new hotel has recently : been opened at this place, and there are also mineral springs, de- Jightful groves for pic nics, excellent facilities for rowing and bath-GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 55 mg, glens, walks, and everything necessary to make the place at- tractive and pleasant. William Watkins, of Berkshire, Mass., from whom the town took its original name, was one of the original purchasers from Phelps and Gorham, and commenced a settlement there as early as 1789-90. In Eeb., 1790, Samuel, Eeuben, and Levi Parish, with their families, came in ; and, in the following April, Nathan and William Watkins, John Johnson, Jonathan Lee, and William Clark, with their families, numbering thirty persons, also became settlers. The Duke Liancourt visited the settlement in 1795, while on his way from Bath to Canandaigua, at which time it seems there was a considerable settlement. He speaks of “ Capt. .Met- calf,” with whom he staid over night, his “lands, inn and saw mill,” and states that a school had been started., The first birth was that of Phineas T. Lee, and the first marriage that of Benj. Clark and Thankful Watkins in 1795. The first saw mill was put up in 1792, by Benj. Clark and Jabez-Metcalf. Susannah Parish taught the first school, in 1792. Myron H. Clark, Ex-Governor of the State of New York, was born in this town Oct. 23, 1806. Eev. Zadock Hunn preached the first sermon, in June, 1792. There are now five churches in town. The present Value of school property in Naples is $4,965; the amount of public money appropriated in 1866-7 was $1,004.68 ; the school expenses $3,496.55, and the average daily attendance 272. PSJELJPS*—The original name of this town was “Sullivan,” but in 1796, at the request of Oliver Phelps, the original proprie- tor of the land, its name was changed, and as a bonus for the hon- or, he gave the inhabitants an entertainment at Oaks’ Tavern. The town was formed in 1796, under the act of Jan. 27,1789. A part was annexed to Lyons, Wayne County, April 11, 1823. It is the north-east corner town of the County, and has a rolling surface, the ridges rising in gradual slopes 20 to 100 feet above the val- leys, the highest point being 300 feet above Canandaigua Lake. The soil in the east is a sandy loam with a clay subsoil; in the north a mixed sandy and clayey loam, and in the west a sandy and coarse gravelly loam. It is exceedingly fertile and productive. Canandaigua Outlet, which is the principal stream, flows, east and north, through the centre. Extensive quarries of gypsum and water limestone lie along its course, and the Onondaga and cor- niferous limestones are likewise quarried in town. The amount of money expended during the school year of 1866-7, was $8,481.79, the amount apportioned being $2,022.58. The value of scho 1 property was $16,425, and the average daily attendance 630.56 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. Phelps. (p. v.,) formerly called “Vienna,” is located on Flint Creek, near its junction with Canandaigua Outlet. It was incor- porated Jan. 2, 1855, and is now a growing and beautiful village. It contains a flourishing union school, a newspaper office, a bank .of deposit, and six churches. There are seven malt houses in the village, with an aggregate capacity of250,000 bushels. The grain is mostly drawn from the surrounding country, and the malt is marketed principally at New York and Philadelphia, though Balti- more is also becoming a good market for the article. Quite an extensive paper mill for the manufacture of printing and wrapping' paper from straw, under the new hydrostatic process, is situated on the Canandaigua Outlet, just outside of the village limits. There are also five flouring mills with about 15 run of stone, two plaster mills, a cheese factory, an iron foundry and manufactory of agricultural implements; a tannery, soap factory and yeast cake factory, in the place. It numbers about 1,500 inhabitants, and is situated on the N. Y. C. R. R., in the midst of as fertile and beau- tiful a tract of country as can be found anywhere in Central or Western New York. The beds of gypsum which lie on the banks of Canandaigua Outlet from Phelps to Gypsum, a distance of five miles, form no inconsiderable source of wealth to the town. Or- leans (p. v.) is situated on Flint Creek, and contains a flouring mill, a slate flour mill, for grinding slate used in the manufacture of plastic roofing, a saw mill and two churches. There are extensive slate quarries along Flint Creek, which have only recently been opened. The population is about 200. Oaks’ Corners, (p, v.,) on the N. Y. C. R. R., contains about 20 houses, and one church, (Presbyterian,) which was raised in 1804, being the first house of worship in the town. The culture of raspberries is extensively carried on at this place. John Decker Robinson, of Claverack, Columbia County, the first settler, came to the town of Phelps, then Sullivan, in 1788, and purchased lot No. 14, in No. 11, in the first range of townships, which was surveyed to contain 320 acres. The wholesale price of land was 2s. per acre; but the surveyor was allowed to deviate from that to a limited extent and, add a trifle when the quality of the land seemed to justify it. In the exercise of that privilege he sold the land to Mr. Robinson at 2s. 6d. per acre, but a mistake of 170 acres in the survey, in the purchaser’s favor, reduced the price to 2s. per acre. The purchase price amounted to $ 100, and Mr. Robinson paid it by building for Mr. Phelps a house at Canandai- gua, partly of logs and partly framed, valued at that amount. This purchase embraced a large part of the old village of Vienna, includ- ing some of the finest land in the whole County. In 1789, Mr. Robinson’s family came to the new country, and, shortly after, three or four others followed them. Harry H. Robinson, son of  GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 57 John Decker Robinson, was the first white child born in the town. In 1791, following the lead of Robinson and the Grangers, came Jonathan Oaks, Seth Deane, Oliver Humphrey and Elias Dickin- son. Jonathan Oaks was the primitive landlord, building as early as 1794 the large framed tavern at Oaks’ Corners, which is yet standing in a tolerably good state of preservation. It was consid- ered a very aristocratic establishment, as it rose up among the sur- rounding log cabins, and its enterprising builder was looked upon as being a good way in advance of the times. It was the second framed tavern west of Geneva, and probably there were not then half a dozen framed buildings west of that place. About the year 1816, the celebrated Race Course was established on the broad sweep of level ground on the Oaks farm, which passengers on the cars may observe in the rear of the church. For years it was a great gathering place for sportsmen ; race horses coming from the south, Long Island and New Jersey, to there test their speed. Seth Deane was the pioneer on the present site of Phelps village, and he put up the primitive grist mill and saw mill upon Flint Creek. Rev. Solomon Goodale was the first preacher of the Gos- pel,—preaching in school houses and dwellings before any churches were built. At the raising of the Presbyterian church at Oaks’ Corners, Cotton Dickinson was instantly killed by a falling stick of timber. Dr. Joel Prescott was the first, physician and one of the first supervisors. The first Town Meeting was held at Oaks’ Corners, in 1796. Jonathan Oal^ was chosen Supervisor and Solomon Goodale, Town Clerk. The first merchant in town was John R. Green, who commenced business at Oaks’ Corners. Orrin Redfield was the first merchant in Vienna (Phelps). A post office was established at the latter place in 1812, a sum being raised by subscription sufficient to defray the expense of carrying the mail on horseback once a week to and from Geneva. The first marriage was that of Joseph Annin—afterward Judge Annin—and Miss Read, daughter of Seth Read; Thomas Sisson, Esq., tying the silken knot. The bride’s father was obstinately opposed to his daughter’s marrying the man of her choice, and forbad him en- tering the house. But, one evening about twilight, young Annin happening to pass the house in company with Squire Sisson, Miss Read, who was milking the cows near the highway, put her pail aside for the time being, the parties stood up under the spreading boughs of a neighboring apple tree, and were* then and there sol- emnly and legally made man and wife. The Justice and the bride- groom then proceeded on their way, and Mrs. Annin finished milk- ing the cow which she commenced as Miss Read. The early settlers in Phelps, as in other sections of the then wil- derness, were not a little troubled by the Indians and wild beasts, their constant neighbors. Mrs. Whitmore, who lived to a good 58 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. old age, used to relate many interesting incidents, and, among oth- ers, the following: On one occasion, all the members of the family except her, had left home, to be absent during the day and succeeding night. During the day an Indian, partly intoxicated, came in and demanded bread. She informed him there was none baked, and to convince him exhibited the dough she had prepared for baking. He told her she lied, drew his knife, and, flourishing it over her, de- clared he would have some bread. On this she grasped the cheese tongs, the only weapon of defence in reach, and made toward her coppor colored antagonist, when he beat a precipitate retreat and • never troubled her again, though she retired to her lonely couch that night in intense fear lest he should repeat his visit. In the night she heard a step in the shed where stood the cheese press, and was sure that the frightened brave had gained courage and was returning. The noise outside soon ceased, but she did not dare to go to the door till morning, when she found that her cheese had been stolen, not by an Indian, but by a bear. ttlCHMOND was formed in 1796, under the act of Jan. 27,1789, as “ Pittstown.” Its name was changed to “ Hon- eoye,” April 6, 1808, and to Richmond, April 11, 1815. A por- tion of Canadice was annexed April 30, 1836, and parts of Bristol and South Bristol in 1848 ; but the latter were restored in 1852. It lies on the west border of the County, south of the centre, and consists of a portion of land nearly square, lying near the foot of Honeoye Lake, and a narrow strip extending along the east shore of that lake and its inlet, to the south border of the County.— This narrow section was added on account of its position, as high ridges of mountain shut it off from the business centres of both Canadice and South Bristol. The centre is occupied by a broad yalley, opening towards the north, and surrounded on the three remaing sides by hills from 50 to 200 feet high. The summits of the southern part, which is extremely hilly, rise 500 feet above the surface of the lake. Honeoye and Hemlock Outlets, and Egypt Brook, are the principal streams. On the lowlands the soil is clay, and on the hills clay mixed with sandy loam. Much at- tention is given to improving the breeds of sheep and cattle, and it is the largest wool growing town in the County. The value of school property in this town is $4,375; the amount of money ap- propriated for the public schools for the year 1866-7 was $640.90; the amount of school expenses, $2,035.47, and the average daily at- tendance, 155. Honeoye, (p. v.) at the foot of the lake of the same name, is the business centre of the town, and a place of considerable activity and importance. It contains a church, furnace, machine shop, sev- eral mills and stores, and has about 300 population. Richmond GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 59 Mills is a post office, and Richmond Centre is a hamlet, containing a church and a few houses. Allen? s Hill, (p. o.) named after Na- thaniel Allen, one of the first settlers, contains two churches and about 20 houses. There are six churches in town. Settlement commenced in 1789. In April, 1787, three young men,—Gideon Pitts, James Goodwin and Asa Simmons—left their native place, Dighton, Mass., to seek a new home in the wilderness. They located at what is now Elmira, and during the summer planted and raised a crop of Indian corn. On returning to their native town, their favorable representations induced the formation of the “Dighton Company,* for the purpose of buying lands of Phelps and Gorham, as soon as the latter had perfected their title. Calvin Jacobs and Gideon Pitts were deputed to attend the treaty and select the tract. As soon as the townships were surveyed, the company purchased 46,080 acres, embracing the most of what was afterwards included in the towns of Eichmond, Bristol, and the fraction of number nine on the east side of Canandaigua Lake. The title was taken in the name of Calvin Jacobs and John Smith. In 1789, Capt. Peter Pitts, his son William, Deacon George Codding and his son George, Calvin Jacobs and John Smith, came to the new purchase and surveyed what is now Eichmond and Bristol. Eev. John Smith, one of the party, on their arrival at Canandaigua, preached the first sermon there, and the first in all the Genesee country, save those by the Indian missionaries, and the chaplain at Fort Niagara, and at Brant’s Indian Church, at Lewisfcown. The lands were ap- portioned by lottery, and Capt. Pitts drew for his share 3,000 acres, at the foot of Honeoye Lake, embracing the flats, and a cleared field which had been the site of an Indian village destroyed by Sullivan’s army. The improvement of the tract was begun by Gideon and William Pitts, in 1790, and for three years the Pitts family was the only one in town. Their house being on the Indian trail from Canandaigua to the Genesee Eiver, which was also the primitive road traveled by white settlers, it enjoyed a wide notori- ety in those early days. Louis Phillipe, when from a lonely wander- er in the wilds of America he had risen to his throne, remembered and spoke of having spent a night in the log house of Capt. Pitts. The first training in the Genesee country was held at this place, the soldiers being a militia company commanded by Capt. William Wadsworth. Pitt’s Flats was for many years afterward a popular training ground. Nathaniel Allen established the first blacksmith shop, at Allen’s Hill. He was subsequently Sheriff of Ontario County, Member of Assembly, Army Paymaster in 1812, and Member of Congress in 1819. Capt. Pitts opened the first tavern, and the first saw and grist mills were built by Thomas Morris in 1795. Drs. Lemuel and Cyrus Chipman, who came in 1795, were60 GAZETTEER OF TOWMS. enterprising and public spirited men. Lemuel Chipman was an early member of the Legislature, Judge of Ontario County, twice elector of President and Vice President, and a State Senator.— Eoswell Turner was also an early and active settler, and his daugh- ter, Mrs. Farnum, says in her reminiscences: “I remember very well, that when early deaths ocourred in our family, no seasoned boards could be obtained for coffins, short of taking down a partition of out* log house.” On u Phelps’ Flats,7’ at the foot of Honeoye Lake, many brass kettles, beads, etc., were ploughed up by the first settlers. The Indians used to relate that the approach of Sul- livan’s army was undiscovered by them till they were seen coming over the hill near where Capt. Pitts afterward built his house.— They were quietly braiding their corn and boiling their succotash, and all took to flight. One Indian admitted that he never looked back till he reached Buffalo Creek. The bears and wolves greatly annoyed the early settlers. The former would steal and devour their swine in broad daylight, and the latter were a terror to trav- elers. On one occasion, after unsuccessfully attacking a traveler, they ran off into the woods, where they had a fight among them- selves, and destroyed one of their own number. 8MNJECA was formed in 1793, under the act of Jan. 27, 1789. It is the south-east corner town of the County, and lies on the west shore of Seneca Lake. The surface is rolling, the ridges rising 20 to 200 feet above the valleys. The bluffs which form the lake shore rise about 100 feet above the lake level. Flint and Keshong Creeks, and Burrall’s and Castle Brooks are the principal streams. The soil, which is a deep, rich loam, consisting of sand, gravel, and clay mixed, the gravel predominating on the ridges, is admirably adapted to the business of the nursery, which has be- come one of the leading pursuits of the town. Over 2,500 acres of nursery are under cultivation in the immediate vicinity of Sen- eca. The land is well adapted to the raising of grain, which at- tains a most luxuriant growth. Commerce and manufactures are also receiving considerable attention. Geneva, (p. v.) the principal village, was incorporated April 4, 1806; has now over 5,000 inhabitants, and is one of the most thriving and beautiful towns in the State. Probably no other place in the country has been more justly and enthusiastically praised by tourists for beauty of scenery and situation. It is lo- cated, at the foot of Seneca Lake, the business portion being mainly on the level ground north, and at the foot of the bluff which forms the lake shore on the west. Along this bluff, its entire length com- manding a beautiful view of the lake, extends main street, a broad avenue, finely shaded and lined with elegant mansions^ surroundedGAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 01 by luxuriant flower gardens. The evidences of taste and luxury in the grounds, added to the natural beauty of the lake view, forms a charming scene, which, having been once viewed by the traveler, will not soon be forgotten. Geneva contains two banks, two news- paper offices, an extensive furniture manufactory, two carriage manufactories, a large elevator, foundry and other important estab- lishments. In matters pertaining to education this town has al- ways stood among the first in the State, and her schools have ac- quired a wide reputation. The Union School of Geneva, was one of the first established in the State, and for many years was taken as a model for others. The plan was proposed by that great pro- moter of education among the people, Francis Dwight, and al- though Strenuously opposed at the outset, it demonstrated its supe- riority, and its former enemies became its most earnest friends and supporters. The school accommodates about 800 pupils daily and employs 14 or 15 teachers. The village schools are graded, and embrace a complete common school and academic course. The Walnut Hill Seminary, a large boarding school for boys, is beauti- fully located, and is an excellent and flourishing institution. Be- side these there is the Geneva Grammar School, established in 1866, and also several private schools for ladies. Geneva is also the seat of Hobart College, formerly known as Geneva College, which was founded in 1813 as an Academy, and was incorporated in 1825. It was established mainly through the influence of Bishop Hobart, whose name it now bears. A medical department was created in 1834, and in 1841, the Medical College, with its spacious lecture rooms and laboratory,was erected,the State paying $15,000 toward the edifice. The trustees and members of the College Faculty are generally members of the Protestant Episcopal church, but the College is open to all, and free, no charge being made for tuition and room rent. The College Faculty is composed of a President, six Professors and a Tutor, and the Medical Department has a Fac- ulty of six Professors. The College grounds are beautifully situa- ted on a bluff, commanding a view of Seneca Lake, and contains about 12 acres, on which there are two large buildings for the use of pupils, a building for the Medical Department, and a handsome stone chapel, erected at a cost of $12,000 and presented to the College by William B. Douglass. The Geneva Water Cure and Hygienic Institute is finely located near the center of the village, in what was formerly the Geneva Hotel building, erected in 1794. There are seven or eight church edifices in town, including some fine structures, and a costly stone edifice, to be called “ The De Lancy Memorial Church,” is soon to be erected in memory of Bishop DeLancy. The Young Men’s Association was formed in 1860, and incorporated in 1864, since which time it has been in active operation. A library was established in 1861, which now 62 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. contains about 600 volumes. Connected with it is a reading room, supplied with the leading daily and weekly papers, and home and foreign magazines, both secular and religious. The room is sup- ported by subscriptions of the members, and is a credit both to the Association and the village. The country in the immediate vicinity of Geneva, presents a charm- ing variety of hill and dale. The land rises from the lake shore in a series of terraces or ridges, whose summits are adorned by fine mansions, embowered among the trees, and whose slopes smile with a profusion of luxuriant grass and grain. The White Springs Farm, owned by Mr. James O. Sheldon, Ex-President of the State Agri- cultural Society, is one of the finest in the State. Mr. Sheldon is greatly interested in the improvement of stock, and owns one of the most valuable herds in the State. The splendid residence of J udge Foote, and the large and elegant dwelling of Mr. Nehemiah Den- ton, are noticeable among the many showy buildings in the vicinity of the village. A daily line of steamers connects this place with the upper ports on Seneca Lake. The Geneva and Watkins Steam- boat Co., run a passenger boat daily, which connects at Watkins with the Northern Central Railway of Penn., and the Erie Railroad at Elmira. The “ Duncan MaGee,” owned by Capt. D. Dey, leaves Geneva in the morning, making the trip to Watkins and return the same day, with the same connections as the passen- ger boat of the other line. Several tugs are employed in towing on the lake. Geneva has water connection with the Pennsylvania coal mines, via Chemung Canal, Junction Canal, and North Branch Canal, of Penn. The tonnage on this route is principally of coal, but considerable lumber is also transported. Watkins is a great coal depot, immense quantities being brought by rail in the winter season, and deposited there, the bulk of which is bituminous coal from the Blossburg mines. The place has also a water connection with the north-east, via Cayuga and Seneca Canal, which is 22 miles long, with the same depth as the Erie, and connects with the latter at Montezuma. Seneca Lake boasts a phenomenon in the shape of a remarkable tree, called “The Wandering Jew,” which for many years has floated through the lake, alternating between either end. It is alive, the branches being above water, while the trunk and roots are kept below, probably by the accumulations of earth and stones among the latter. It is traditionally held that the boat which hap- pens to run against “The Wandering Jew,” is thereafter fated to all sorts of disaster and to final wreck. One feature of Seneca Lake is the fact that navigation is never obstructed by ice, as it is never known to freeze over. Mrs. Bradford in her well written historical sketch says: “ I think we have got back about as far as we can go in our efforts to find the first traces of a settle- ment at Geneva, when we discover, in June, 1787, ‘a solitary log GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. @3 house, and that not finished, inhabited by one Jennings.’ But be- fore the close of another year, others had joined him, and Indian traders had begun to settle on the bank of the lake.” In the fall of 1788, Geneva had become a pretty brisk place, being the cen- tral point for speculators, explorers, and the Lessee Company and their agents. It was the principal seat of the Indian trade for a broad region of country. Horatio Jones was living in a log house, covered with bark, on the bank of the lake, and had a small stock of goods for the Indian trade ; Asa Ransom, occupied a hut, and was manufacturing Indian trinkets; Lark Jennings had a log tav- ern on the bank of the lake, and the Lessee Company had a framed tavern and trading establishment, covered with bark, on the bluff near the lake shore. There was also a cluster of log houses all along the low ground near the lake. All that was done at Geneva prior to 1793, was under the auspices of Reed and Ryckman and the Lessees. The little village which had sprung up there, the scattered settlements in the Lessee towns and upon the Gore, to- gether with that of that strange person, “ The Universal Friend,” at Jerusalem, constituted a majority of all the population west of Seneca Lake. “ The District of Seneca,” which, so far as organization was concerned, embraced all the region reaching north to Lake Ontario, held its first town meeting in April, 1793, at the house of Joshua Fairbanks. Ezra Patterson was chosen Supervisor, and Thomas Sisson,Town Clerk. In 1800 the number of persons assessed to work on highways in the town of Seneca, was 290. The limits of a work of this kind forbid that we should follow out the details of early settlement at Geneva, and a brief review of some of the most noticeable facts must suffice. Herman H. Bo- gart commenced the practice of law in Geneva in 1797, and he ob- serves that when he came there land speculation was at its height. Board was $4 per week at the hotel; eligible building lots of three- fourths of an acre were sold for $500, and farming lands brought $5 per acre, that were afterward sold for $2 and $3. Mr. William- son, agent of the Pulteney Estate, had a sloop on the lake, engaged in bringing down lumber; the mail was brought from Albany twice a week, on horseback, and the new place was getting on swim- mingly. Other early lawyers were Pollydore B. Wisner, Daniel W. Lewis, Robert W. Stoddard, John Collins and David Hudson. The early merchants, other than those acting under Indian and Lessee occupancy, were Grieve and Moffatt, Samuel Colt, Richard M. Williams, Elijah H. Gordon, Richard M. Bailey, and Abraham Dox. Grieve and Moffat established the first brewery in all this section of country. Dr. Adams was the early physician. The first grist mill was erected by Cornelius Roberts, and the first saw mill by P. B. Wisner, in 1798. The first marriage was that of Dr.  64 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. Joel Prescott and Miss Phila Reed, and the first school was taught by Samuel Wheaton, in 1792. A Presbyterian society was organ- ized in Geneva in 1798, but no church was built till 1811. In 1806, “ nineteen persons of full age, belonging to the Protestant Episco- pal Church, assembled, and there being no Rector, John Nicholas presided,” aiid Trinity Church was then and there organized. The Rev. Davenport Phelps was the first officiating clergyman. A church was erected in 1808. Wm. Tappan, John and Abraham B. Hall, John Sweeney, Jonathan Doane, Moses Hall, and Jacob and Joseph Backentose were among the earliest mechanics.— J onathah Doane was the father of Bishop Doane, and erected all the primitive churches. Jacob and Joseph Backentose were the pioneer tailors of the Genesee country, and the time was when to wear a coat from their shop marked the possessor as an aristocrat. Members, before going to Congress or the Legislature, generally got a coat of the “ Geneva tailor,” but never before elec- tion. Col. James Bogart, the early editor of The Geneva Gazette, says: “ In 1805, Geneva contained but sixty-eight houses. There were thirty-five on Main street, seven on Seneca street, five on Castle street, two on Genesee street, and one on Pulteney street.— Some of the more important streets of the village were not then laid out.” * * * * “It is worthy of remark that the north side of Seneea street, on which there is now (1883) a compact mass of beautiful and substantial buildings, was, long after we com- menced the publication of our paper, improved as a mowing field.” The society of Geneva has, from the very first, been noted for high tone of manners and cultivated intellect, and has attracted thither many eminent men. Among the most distinguished resi- dents at the present time are Commodore T. J. Craven, Judge Samuel A; Foote,' Gen. Joseph G. Swift, Senator Charles J. Folger, Comptroller Thomas Hillhouse, Gen. M. R. Patrick, Mr. James 0. Sheldon, Commodore J. W. Swift and Commodore James Glynn. Castleton, (Seneca Castle P. 0.,) on Flint Creek, in the north- west part, contains two churches and thirty-five houses. Flint Creek, (p. o.,) HalVs Corners, (p. 0.,) and Stanley's Corners, (p. 0.,) are hamlets. About one and a half miles north-west of Geneva is a beautiful ground ealled the “ Old Castle,” where there was an Indian orchard, and where the ground has never been plowed, because of a stipula- tion to that effect with the Indians in the treaty of purchase. For many years the Indians came at plowing time and watched this ground, to see that the stipulation was hot broken. It contains an Indian burial ground, and in one corner the trench of an ancient stockade fortification may be discovered. Many relics—as stone hatchets, arrow heads, pipes, etc., are found in this vicinity. The amount of money expended for common school purposes in — : —- —r-“u-- - GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 05 the town in the year 1866-7, was $12,660.90, the amount appor- tioned being $3,010.73, the value of school property $15,378, and the average daily attendance 1,094. SOUTH BRISTOL was formed from Bristol, March 8, 1838. It lies upon the west shore of Canandaigua Lake, south- west of the centre of the County. The surface consists of an ele- vated upland, divided into four ranges by the valleys of Grind- stone and Mud Creeks and Egypt Brook. The summits of the ridges rise 1,000 feet above the lake, and the declivities are very steep. The bluffs along the lake shore are 300 to 400 feet high. The soil is a mixture of clay and disintegrated slate, and although it is rich and productive, the hilly nature of the town has tended to retard its cultivation. The value of school property is $4,825. The amount of school expenses for the year 1866-7 was $2,715.33; the amount of public money apportioned, $647.28, and the aver- age daily attendance 176. South Bristol (p. o.) is a hamlet, and contains a Congregational church, the only church building in town. Boswell!s Corners con- tains a store and about a dozen houses. There is a saw mill and a grist mill near by. Cold Spring is a hamlet. Seneca Point, referred to in another connection, is a popular summer resort. It was originally known as “Wilder’s Point,” and set- tlement was commenced there by Gamaliel Wilder, in 1789. An Indian orchard, on the lake shore, at this place, induced him to settle here. This was the only Indian orchard left undestroyed in Sullivan’s march, and a few of the old trees are yet standing. Mr. Wilder built the first saw mill, the first grist mill and distil- lery, at the Point, in 1795. He also put up the first tavern, in 1808. Dr. Hewitt and Geo. Wilder opened the first store, in 1828. Joanna Forbes taught the first school, and Rev. Mr. Rolph was the first settled minister. The first child born was Eli Allen, in 1793. VICTOR was formed from Bloomfield, May 26, 1812, and is the north-west corner town of the County. The north part is occupied by the drift ridges, which rise 50 to 150 feet above the general surface. Extending across the south part, in a general east and west direction, is a ridge, 100 to 180 feet in height. The chief streams are Irondequoit, Mud, Hog Hollow and Fish Creeks, and Trout Brook. The soil in the central and northern parts is a light, sandy and gravelly loam, but in the south-east it is princi- pally clay. It is particularly adapted to the raising of root crops. Hops are grown to some extent, and considerable attention is paid to improving the breeds of sheep. $3,931.18 was expended for06 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS, common school purposes during the year 1866-7. The amount of public money appropriated to the town for the same period was $904.63; the average daily attendance being 285. The school property is valued at $7,850. Victor (p. v.) is a beautiful village near the centre of the town, half a mile from Victor Station, on the N. Y. C. It. It. It was called by the Indians, Ga-o-sa-ga-o, signifying “In the Basswood Country.” It contains four churches, a graded district school, and has 510 inhabitants. The Indian village of Gannagaro, which was utterly destroyed by the Marquis de Nonville, was situated near Victor. Fishers (p. o.) is a station on the N. Y. C. ft. It., in the west part, and Fast Victor is a hamlet on Mud Creek. Settlement was commenced in 1789, by immigrants from Stock- bridge, Mass., Enos and Jared Boughton and Jacob Lobdell being among the first. Levi Boughton and Rufus Dryer settled at Boughton Hill, in 1792. The first birth was that of Frederick Boughton, in June, 1791, and the first marriage that of Zebulon Norton and Miss Boughton. Hezekiah Boughton opened the first tavern, at Boughton Hill, in 1792. The first saw mill was built the same year, by Enos and Jared Boughton. Joel Brace was the first practicing physician, and William Bushnell the first permanent merchant. The first town meeting was held in 1813, at which ja*- cob Lobdell was elected Supervisor; Nathaniel Boughton, Ezra Wilmarth, Selleck Boughton, Assessors; Ezekial Scudder, Elisha Williams, Joseph Brace, Commissioners of Highways; Rufus Dryer, James Upton, Overseers of Poor; Solomon Griswold, Constable and Collector. Few localities in this historic region so abound in interest as Victor Flats, Boughton Hill, and the imme- diate vicinity. When the pioneers penetrated to this section of the wilderness, they found, among the hills and valleys, rude imple- ments of war and of the chase, charred remains of wigwams, and burial places teeming with the moldering bones of by-gone gene- rations, all evincing that this was a favorite place of the Senecas, who were the original occupants of this beautiful and romantic country. Here they worshipped the “ Manitous ” of their simple faith, and here they assembled in the “ Peace Council/’ or prepared for battle. Standing on the street of the quiet village, one sees spread out before him an attractive landscape, whose interest is in- creased by the throng of historic associations connected with the hills and vales that make up the pleasant scene. Over it all swept the proud hosts of the French invader, combatted at every inch by the Indian braves whose Spartan valor could not make up for their deficiency in numbers. Here glared the flames of their rude huts, the watch-fires of the encamping conquerors; and here, too, long after civilization had placed her imprint on the face of Nature, they lingered around the ruins of their former pride and faded *_________—i.

It lies upon the west border of the County, north of the center. A ridge, 200 to 300 feet high, forming the declivity of a southern terrace, extends across the north part. The surface is gently undulating; the soil a deep, rich, gravelly loam, mixed with clay. In the south there is a spring of carburetted hydrogen gas. Tile and earth ware are manufactured to some extent. West Bloomfield (jp. v.) is a village of about 350 inhabitants, situated one and a half miles south of West Bloomfield Station, on the N. Y. C* R. R. A handsome, soldier’s monument has been erected here since the war. The town contains two churches, and a number of shops and stores* North Bloomfield (p. v.') on the Honeoye Outlet, and Miller’s Corners, in the east part, are also railroad stations. At the former there is a church, a woolen fac- tory, two grist mills and two saw mills ; the latter is a hamlet, containing one church, and a few houses. This town was purchased by Amos Hall, Robert Taft, Nathan Marvin and Ebenezer Curtis, and was settled by them in 1789. Mr; Hall was from Guilford, Conn., and took the first census of Ontario County, in 1790, represented the County in Assembly in 1798, and was Major General of militia in the war of 1812. John P. Sears, Peregrine Gardner, Clark Peck, Jasper Marvin, Samuel Miller, John Algur and S. Thayer, settled in 1789-90. Benjamin Gardner, with his sons John and Peregrine, are supposed by some to have been the first settlers. The first birth was that of Lucinda Gardner, in Sept. 1791. Jasper P. Sears kept the first inn, and Royal Hendee the first store. The first saw mill was built by E benezer Curtis; the first grist mill by Reuben Thayer. The first religious service was held in 1793. There are now four churches in town. The amount expended for school purposes in West Bloomfield for the year 1866-7, was $2,280.93 ; the amount of public money apportioned, $592.88 ; the average attendance 153, arid the value of school property $2,835. d8 THE STATES, THeIE SETTLEMENT, ETC.

ItlZONM. was organized by the Thirty-Seventh Congress, in the win- ter of 1863, out of the western half of Hew Mexico, the boundary between the two Territories being the 109th meridian (32d west from Washington,) and includes the greater portions of the valleys of Colorado and Gila, which two rivers drain its entire surface, with parts of Utah, Hew Mexico and Nevada, and yet convey, it is reported, a less volume of water to the sea than the Hudson at Albany. The fertile Messilla Yalley was left with Hew Mexico. The Territory forms a block nearly square, and contains 126,141 square miles, or 80,730,240 acres. Its white population is probably considerably less than 10,000. For agricultural purposes it is probably the most worthless on the Continent, owing to the absence of rains, but it is reputed to abound in silver mines. COZ/O'RA.IDO was organized March 2, 1861, from parts of Kansas, Nebraska and Utah, and is situated on each side of the Rocky Mountains, between latitude 37° and 41°, and longitude 25° and 32° west from Wash- ington. Area 104,500 square miles, or 66,880,000 acres. Population 50,- 000, besides numerous tribes of Indians, By an enabling act passed March 21,1864, the people of the Territory were authorized to frame a State Con- stitution and organize a State Government, and a Convention accordingly met in 1865, and on the 12th of August adopted a Constitution, which was submitted to and adopted by the people September 5, and State officers elected November 14. A bill to admit the Territory as a State passed Congress, but was vetoed May 25,1866. It is said to be a superior graz- ing and cattle producing region, with a healthy climate and rich soil. An extensive coal bed, and also gold, iron and other minerals abound. IDAICO TA was first settled by emyloyees of the Hudson Bay Com- pany, but is now being peopled by emigrants from theNorthern and Wes- tern States. It was set off from the western portion of Minnesota when that Territory became a State in 1857, and was organized March 2,. 1861. Area 148,932 square miles, or 95,316,480 acres. Population 2.576 whites, and 2,261 Indians, besides the roving tribes.80 THE TERRITORIES, THEIR BOUNDARIES, ETC. IDAHO was organized by the Thirty-Seventh Congress, at its second session, in the winter of 1863. Its name means‘Bead of the Mountains,’ and it embraces the whole breadth of the Rocky Mountain region, and has within its bounds the head waters of nearly all the great rivers that flow down its either slope, but the greater portion lies east of the mountains. Its southern boundary is the 41st, its northern the 46th parallel of latitude. It extends from the 104th meridian on the east to the 110th on the west. Area 326,373 square miles, or 208,870,720 acres. For agricultural purposes it is comparatively worthless, but abounds in gold and other valuable mines. MOJY2AJVA was settled by emigrants from the Northern and West- ern States. Organized in 1864, with the following boundaries: Com- mencing at a point formed by the intersection of the 27Q L. W. from Wash- ington with the 45^ N. L.; thence due west on said 45th degree to a point formed by its intersection with the 34th degree W. from Washington; thence due south along said 34th degree of longitude to its intersection with the 44th degree and 30 minutes of N. L.; thence due west along said 44th degree and 30 minutes of N. L. to a point formed by its intersection with the crest of the Rocky Mountains ; thence following the crest of the Rocky Mountains northward till its intersection with the Bitter Root Mountains; thence northward along the crest of said Bitter Root Moun- tains to its intersection with the 39th degree of longitude W. from Wash- ington; thence along said 39th degree of longitude northward to the boundary line of the British possessions; thence eastward along said boundary to the 27th degree of longitude W. from Washington ; thence southward along said 27th degree to the place of beginning. This makes it the northermost Territory next the States east of the Missouri Valley. It is a good mining and agricultural region. The total population is put down at 15,822. Large accessions have been made since the census was taken. NED DASEA was settled by emigrants from the Northern and Western States, and was formed out of a part of the territory ceded by France, April 30, 1803. Attempts to organize it were made in 1844 and 1848, but it was not accomplished until May 30,1854. Area 75,955 square miles, or 44,796,160 acres. Population 28,841, besides a few roving tribes of Indians. A Convention adopted a State Constitution February 9,1866, which was submitted to the people on the 22d of June, and adopted by a vote of 3,938 for, to 3,838 against, and State officers were elected. A bill was passed by Congress, July 27th, admitting the State, but the President withheld his signature. It is an agricultural region, its prairies affording boundless pasture lands. NEWMEXICO was formed from a part of the territory ceded to the United States by Mexico, by the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, Feb- ruary 2,1848, and was organized into a Territory September 9, 1850.— Area 121,201 square miles, or 77,568,640 acres. Population 83,000, besides large tribes of warlike Indians. The principal resource of the country is its minerals. UTAH‘was settled by the Mormons, and was formed from a part of the territory ceded to the United States by Mexico, by the treaty of Guada- loupe Hidalgo, February 2,1848, and was organized into a Territory, Sep- tember 9,1850. Area, 106,382 square miles, or 68,084,480 acres. Popula-STAMP DUTIES- 81 ton, 40,273, of whom 29 were slaves. Brine, sulphureous and chalybeate springs abound; limestone, granite, sandstone and marble are found in large quantities; iron is abundant, and gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc have been found. Not one-fiftieth part of the soil is fit for tillage, but on that which is, abundant crops of grain and considerable cotton are raised. A Convention was held at Great Salt Lake City, January 22,1862, and a * State Constitution formed, but it has not been acted on by Congress. WASHINGTON was settled by emigrants from the Northern and Western States, and was organized into a Territory, March 2,1853, from the northern portion of Oregon, to which was added another portion from the eastern part when the latter Territory was admitted as a State, February 14, 1859. Area 69,994 square miles, or 48,636,800 acres. Population 11,168, besides numerous tribes of Indians. STAMP DUTIES. SCHEDULE OP DUTIES ON AND AFTER MARCS 1, 1S67.

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 staftrps are printed upon checks, &c., so that in filling up the instrumentj the face of the stamp is and must necessarily be writ- ten across, no other cancellation will be re- quired. All cancellation must be distinct and legi- ble, and except in the ease 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 stamp for denoting the tax chargeable thereon, cancelled in the manner required by law, with intent to evade the provisions of the revenue act. A penalty of two hundred dollars is im- posed upon every person who pays, nego- tiates, or offers in payment, or receives or takes in payment, any bill of exchange or order for the payment of any sum of money drawn or purporting to be drawn in a for- eign country, but payable in the United States, until the proper stamp has been af- fixed thereto. A penalty of fifty dollars is imposed upon every person who fraudulently makes use of an adhesive stamp to denote the duty re- quired by the revenue act, without effectu- ally cancelling and obliterating the same in the manner required bylaw. 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 the 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-STAMP DUTIES. 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 such offence as aforesaid, shall, on con- viction thereof, * * ,* be punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment and confinement to hard labor not exceeding five years, or both, at the discretion of the court.11 It is not lawful to record any instrument, document, or paper required by law to be stamped, or any copy thereof, unless a stamp or stamps of the proper 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 wilful 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 used indiscrimi- nately upon any of the matters or things enumerated in Schedule B, except proprie- tary and playing card stamps, for which a. special use has been provided. Postage stamps cannot be used in pay- ment of the duty chargeable on 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 an instrument sub- ject to stamp duty is issued without having the necessary stamps affixed thereto, it can- not be recorded, or admitted, or used in ev- idence, in any court, until a legal stamp or stamps, denoting the amount of tax, 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 F 85 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 subject to stamp duty as “promissory notes.11 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.11 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 such in- struments, or either of them. In such case a note or memorandum of the value or de- nomination of the stamp affixed should be made upon the margin or in the acknowl- edgement of the instrument which is not stamped. Particular attention is called ta the change in section 154, by striking out the words “or usedthe exemption thereun- der is thus restricted to documents, &c.,. issued by the officers therein named. Also to the changes in sections 152 and 158, by inserting the words “and cancelled in the manner required by law.?1 The acceptor or acceptors of any bill, of exchange, or order for the payment of any sum of money, drawn or purporting to be drawn in any foreign country, 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 ofTealty 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 sold, and stamped according- ly, is inoperative, a deed of confirmation, made simply to cure the defect, requires no stamp. In such case, the second deed should contain a recital of the facts, and should show the reasons for its execution. Partition deeds between tenants in com- mon, need not be stamped as conveyances, inasmuch as there is no sale of realty, but merely a marking out, or a defining, of the boundaries of the part belonging to each; but where money or other valuable consid- eration is paid by one co-tenant to another for equality of partition, there is a sale to the extent of such consideration, and- the conveyance, by the party receiving it, should be stamped accordingly. A conveyance of lands sold for unpaid taxes, issued since August 1, 1866,. by the officers of any county, town, or other mu-86 STAMP DUTIES. nicipal corporation in the discharge of their strictly 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 tne 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 tne property mortgag- ed is less than that amount, and that conse- quently the security is only partial, does not change the liability of the instrument. When, therefore, a second mortgage is giv- en to secure the payment of a sum of mon- ey partially secured by a prior mortgage up- on other property, or when two 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 of any land, tenement, or portion thereof, is based upon the annual rent or rental value of the property leased, and the duty is the same whether the lease be for one year, for a term of years, or for the fractional part of a year only, Upon every assignment or transfer of a mortgage, a stamp taxis required equal to that imposed upon a mortgage for the amount remaining unpaid; this taxis re- quired upon every such transfer in writing, whether there is a sale of the mortgage or not; hut no stamp is necessary upon the endorsement of a negotiable instrument,, even though the legal effect of such indorse- ment is to transfer a mortgage by which the instrument is secured. An assignment of a lease within the mean- ing and intent pf 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 Mm ; such an assignment as subrogates the assignee to the rights, or some portion of the rights, of the lessee, or of the person standing in his place. A transfer by the lessor of his part of a lease, neither giving nor purporting to give a claim to the leasehold, or to any part thereof, hut simply aright to the rents, &c., is subject to stamp tax as a contract or agreement only. The stamp tax upon a fire insurance policy ia 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 ratable assessments to meet the losses incurred by the company, should not he 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 same 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 subject to the same stamp tax ds the policy. When a policy of insurance is issued for a certain time, whether it he for one year only or for a term of years, a receipt for premium or any other instrument which has the legal effect to continue the contract and extend its operation beyond that time, re- quires the same amount of revenue stamps as the policy itself; but such a receipt as is usually given for the payment of the monthly, quarterly, or annual premium, is not a renewal within the meaning of the statute. The payment simply prevents the policy from expiring, by reason of non-per- formance of its conditions; a receipt given for such a payment reqnires a two-cent stamp, if tne amount received exceeds twenty dollars, and a two-cent stamp only. When, however, the time of payment has passed, and a tender of the premium is not sufficient to bind* the company, but a new1 policy or a new contract in some form, with the mutuality essential to every contract, becomes necessary between the insurer ana 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 & policy as to travel, residence, occupation, &c., should he stamped as & contract or agreement. A bill single or a hill obligatory, i. e., an instrument in the form of a’ promissory note, under seed, is subject to’stamp duty as written; or printed evidence of an amount of money to he paid on demand or at a time designated, at the rate of five cents for. each one hnndred 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 flve-cent stamp. A stamp duty of twenty-five cents is im- posed upon the “protest of every note, bill of exchange, check or draft,” and upon every manne protest. If several notes, bills of exchange, drafts, &cM are protest-' ed at the same time and all attached to one and the same certificate, stamps should he affixed to the amount of twenty-five cents for each note, hill, draft, &c., thus protest- ed* When a subscription is for a purpose in wMch there is a community of interest among the subscribers, the list should be stamped as a contract, or agreement, at the rate of five cents for each sheet or piece of paper upon which it is written. When there is no community of interest, andthe subscription is conditional, each signer executes a separate contract, reqnir-STAMP DUTIES. 87 mg its appropriate amount of stamps; this amount depends upon the number of sheets or pieces of paper upon which the contract is written. When each of the subscribers contracts to pay a certain and definite sum of money on demand, or at a time designated, the separate contract of each should be stamp- ed at the same rate as a promissory note. 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, &c., it is subject to a stamp duty of five cents. 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 it is to be retained by the parties, a five-cent stamp should be af- fixed. The stamp tax upon a bill of sale, by which any ship or vessel, or any part there- of, is conveyed to or vested in any other person or persons, is at the same rate as that imposed upon conveyances of realty sold ; a bill of sale of any other personal property should be stamped as a contract or agreement. An assignment of real or personal prop- erty, or of both, for the benefit of creditors, should be stamped as an agreement or con- tract. Written or printed as signments of agree- ments; bonds, notes not negotiable, and of all other instruments the assignments of which are not particularly specified in the foregoing schedule, should be stamped as agreements. No stamp is necessary upon the registry of a judgment, even though the registry is such in its legal effect as to Create a Hen which operates as a mortgage upon the property of the judgment debtor. When a “power of attorney or proxy for voting at any election for officers of any incorporated company or society, • except religious, charitable, or literary societies, or public cemeteries,” is signed by sever- al stockholders, owning separate and dis- tinct shares, it is, in its legal effect, the separate instrument of each, and requires stamps to the amount of ten cents for each and every signature; one or more stamps maybe used representing the whole amount required. A notice from landlord to tenant to quit possession of premises requires no stamp. A stamp taxis imposed upon every “manifest for custom-house entry or clear- ance of the cargo of any ship, vessel, or steamer for a foreign port.” The amount of this tax in each case depends upon the registered tonnage of the vessel. If a vessel clears in ballast mid has no cargo whatever, no stamp is necessary; but if she has any-however small the amount —a stamp should be used. A bona to convey real estate requires stamps to the amount of twenty-five cents. The stamp duty upon the probate of a will, or upon letters of administration, is based upon the sworn or declared value of all the estate and effects, real, personal, and mixed, undiminished by the debts of the estate for or in respect of which such probate or letters are applied for. When the property 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 ot which the particular letters in each case are issued. Letters de bonis non should be stamped according to the amount of property re- maining to be administered upon thereun- der, regardless of the stamps upon the orig- inal letters. A mere 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 an instrument is executed and issued in duplicate, triplicate, &c., as in the case of alease of two or more parts, each part has the same legal effect as the other, and each should be stamped as an original.88 POSTAL RATES AND REGULATIONS.

Infallible Rules for Detecting Counterfeit or Spurious Bank Notes. Rule 1st.—Examine the shading of the letters in title of Bank called lathework, which in genuine notes presents an even, straight, light and silky appearance, gen- erally so fine and smooth as to appear to be all in one solid, pale body. In the counter- feit the lines are coarse and irregular, and in many of the longer lines breaks will be perceived, thus presenting a very inferior finish in comparison 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 dots 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 tne 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 that soft and finished appearance as in the genuine. 4th.—Examine the imprint or engraver’s names in the evenness and shape of the fine letters. Counterfeits never bear the imprint perfect. This rule should be strict- ly observed, as it is infallible in detecting counterfeits. * 5th.—In the genuine note the landscapes are well finished; trees and shrubs are neatly drawn; the limbs well proportioned, and the foliage presenting a fine natural appearance; clear sky is formed of fine parallel lines, and when clouds or heavy skies appear, they cross each other, and bear a soft, smooth and natural appear- ance. The perspective, showing a view of the surrounding country, is always clear and distinct. 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 poorly and unnaturally defined.— The lines representing still water are scratchy rather than parallel, the sky is represented generally in like manner, and where rolling clouds are to be seen, the unnatural effect is obvious. Domestic animals are generally poorly executed, particularly the head and limbs ; the eyes are seldom clearly defined. Ships are poorly drawn, the texture of the canvass coarse and inferior in style of workman- ship, thus giving an artificial appearance. Railroad cars are also poorly executed ; the car farthest from the eye is usually the most imperfect. The perspective is always imperfect, the figures in the background can seldom be recognized. 6th.—bills altered 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 was90 HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. too dark, but from the back or finish of the white lines yon have a snre test. Again observe particularly the words 44 Five ” or 44 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, out 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; but by passing the note through the hand, so as to feel the die both with .the finger and thumb at the same time, the fraud will be de- tected by the 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 imperfect, and the ink does not pre- sent the vermillion hue as it should. The printing is generally inferior, usually ex- hibiting specks of white in the most promi- nent letters. The date and filling up, and the President’s and Cashier’s names are generally written by the same person, although in many instances they present a different appearance. There are bills in circulation bearing either genuine dies or vignettes; but upon close 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, if 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 and comprehend the differ- ence between genuine and spurious work. HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. What will my readers give to know how to get rich ? Now, I will not vouch that the following rules will enable every per- son who may read them to acquire wealth; but this I will answer for, that if ever a man does grow rich by honest means, and retains his 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 command them 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 takes the prop- er steps. Foremost in the list of requisites are honesty and strict integrity in every trans- action of life. Let a man have the reputa- tion of being fair and upright in his deal- ings, and he will possess the confidence of all who know him. Without these qualities every other merit will prove unavailing. Ask concerning a man, 44 Is he active and capable?” Yes. “Industrious, temper- ate and regular in his habits ? Oh yes. 44Is he honest? Is he trustworthy?” Why, as to that, I am sorry to say that he is not to be trusted; he needs watching; he is a little tricky, and will take an undue advantage, if he can. 44 Then I will have nothing to do with him,” will be the in- HO W TO SUCCEED IN B USINESS. 91 variable reply. Why, then, is honesty the best policy ? Because, without it, you will get a bad name, and everybody will shun you. A character for knayery 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 purse closed against him. Therefore be prompt in your payments. Next, let us consider the advantages of a cautious circumspection in our inter- course with the world. Slowness of be- lief and a proper distrust are essential to success. The credulous and confiding are ever the dupes of knaves and impostors. Ask those who have lost their property how it happened, and. you will find in most cases that it has been owing to mis- placed confidence. One has lost by en- dorsing ; 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 thefr secrets. Before trusting a man, before putting it in his power to cause you a loss, possess yourself of every available information relative to him. Learn his history, his habits, inclinations and propensities^ his reputation for honor, industry, frugality ana punctuality ; his prospects, resources, supports, advantages and disadvantages; his intentions aud mo- tives of action; who are his friends and enemies, and What are his good or bad qual- ities. You may learn a man’s good qualities i 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 Argus beforehand, and the hundred hands of Briarius afterwards. Order and system in the management of business must not be neglected. Nothing contributes more to dispatch. Have a place for everything and everything in its place; a time for. everything, and every- thing in its time. Do first what presses most, and having determined what is to be done, and how it is to be done, lose no time in doing it. Without this method all is hurry and confusion, little or nothing is 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, but 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 — Dersevering, 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 his amusements in- stead of his business, will, in a short time, have no business to follow. The art of money-saving is an important part of the art of money-getting. Without frugality no one can become rich; with it, few would be poor. Those who consume as fast as they produce, are on the road to ruin. As most of the poverty we meet with grows out of idleness and extrava- gance. so most large fortunes have been the result of habitual industry and frugali- ty. The practice of economy is aB neces- sary in the expenditure of time as of money. They say if “ we take care of the pence the pounds will take care of them- selves.” So, if we take care of the minutes, the days will take care of them- selves. The acquisition of wealth demands as much self-denial, and as many sacrifices of present gratification, as the practice of virtue itself Vice and poverty proceed, in some degree, from the same sources, namely—the disposition to sacrifice the future to the present; the inability to fore- go a small present pleasure for great fhture 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 fhture 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-  92 SOW TO SECURE THE PUBLIC LANDS. 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 pass the remainder of their days in affluence. But no! 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. Ir 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 t'. OR THE ENTRY OF THE SAME UNDER LA 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 or the district land office in which the land desired may be situated. A list of all the land offices in the United States is furnished by the Department, with the seats of the different offices, where it is the duty of the Register and Receiver to be in attendance, and give proper facilities and information to persons desirous of obtaining lands. The minimum price of ordinary public lands is $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 filing with the Regis- ter his written application describing the lie Public Lands, THE PRE-EMPTION AND HOMESTEAD W8. 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 the 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 his actual residence and cultivation, and showing that he is other- wise within the purview of these acts.— Then he can enter the land at $1,25, either in cash or with bounty land warrant, unless the premises should be $2,50 acre lands. In that case the whole purchase-money can be paid in cash, or one-half in cash, the residue with a bounty land warrant. 4. But if parties legally qualified desire to obtain title under the Homestead Act of 20th May, 1862, they can do so on com-LAW MAXIMS. 93 plying with the Department Circular, dated 30th October, 1862. 5. The law confines Homestead entries to surveyed lands; and although, in cer- tain States and Territories noted m 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 sale 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, turner 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 his creditor. 2. Administrators are liable to account for interest on funds in their hands, al- though no profit shall have been made upon them, unless the exigencies of the estate rendered it prudent that they should hold the funds 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 saving 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. 7. 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 sale, 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 anytime 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. 13. 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. 15. A deposit of money in bank by a hus- band, in the name of his wife, survives to her.94 LAW MAXIMS. 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 fora larger sum than that specified in thever- 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. 31. 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. 34. Contracts for advertisements in Sun- day newspapers cannot be enforced. 35. A seller of goods, chattels, or other property, commits no fraud, in law, when he neglects to tell the purchaser of any flaws, defects, or unsoundness in the same. 36. The opinions 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. 37. 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 is unable from ill- ness to sign his will, has his hand guided in making his mark, the signature is valid. 89. 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 any such threatening language, is actionable, without propf ofspecial 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, aijd 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 done 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 m 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 his own, and undertaken without the knowledge and consent of his master, the latter is not responsible. 46. An emigrant depot is not a nuisance in law. 47. A railroad track through the streets is not a nuisance in law.LAW MAXIMS. 95 48. In an action for libel against a news- ’ paper, extracts from such newspaper may be given to show its circulation, and the extent to which the libel has been published. The jury, in estimating the damages, are to look at the character of the libel, and whether the defendant is rich or poor. The plaintiff is entitled, in all cases, to his ac- tual damages, and should be compensated for the mental sufferings endured, the pub- - lie disgrace inflicted, and all actual discom- fort produced. 49. Delivery of a husband’s goods by a wife to her adulterer, he having Knowledge that she has taken them without her hus- band’s authority, is 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. 51. 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. 53. 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 his 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 is not compulsory upon the plaintiff to prove ac- tual negligence in the defendants-; but it is obligatory on the part of the latter to prove that the injury was not owing to any fault or negligence of theirs. 56. A guest is a competent witness, in an action between himself and an inn-keeper, to prove the character and value of lost personal baggage. Money in a trunk, not exceeding 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. 57. 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 (m: unfavorable to the interests of the minor. 58. 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 against 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 be convicted of receiv- ing stolen goods when she received them ofher 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 sale by sample, not the mere exhibition of a speci- men of the goods. 67. An agent is liable to his principals * for loss 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. 73. Confession by a prisoner must be vol- untarily made,to constitute evidence against him. 74. The defendant in a suit must be serv- ed with process; but service of such pro- cess upon his wife, even in his absence from the State, is not, in the absence of statuto- ry provisions, sufficient.90 LAW MAXIMS. 75. The measure of damages in trespass for cutting timber, is its value as a chattel on theiand 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 found at large 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 field 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 all courts, and this bar may be avoided whenever it is interposed, by showing fraud in the procurement of the discharge, or a violation of any of the pro- visions of the bankrupt act. 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 are bound to dis- close material facts 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 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. 93. It is unprofessional for a lawyer who has abandoned his case without trying it, a term or two before trial, to claim a fee conditional upon the success of his client, although his client was successful. 94. Although a party obtaining damages for injuries received through the default of another, was himself guilty of negligence, yet that will not defeat his recovery, unless nis 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 set aside if entered into to deprive them of his fhture 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 1 running to the bank of’ the river; these expressions carry the grantee to the center of the high- way or river. 97. The court will take pains to construe the words used in a deed in such a way as to effect the intention of the parties, how- ever unskillfully the instrument may be drawn. But a court of law cannot exchange an 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.GOVERNMENT LAND MEASURE, 97 99. When a wife leaves her husband vol- untarily, it must be shown, in order to make him liable for necessaries famished to her, that she could not stay 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 such 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 “ 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, v 106. An employer is not liable to one of his employees for an injury sustained by the latter in consequence of the neglect of oth- ers of his employees engaged m the same general business. 107. Where a purchaser at a Sheriff’s 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 sale. 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 populous 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^ office. 112. When one has been induced to sell goods by means of false pretences, he can- not recover them from one who has bona fide purchased and obtained possession of them from the fraudulent vendor. 113. 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 instru- 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 him or any agent authorized to take payment for him, no forfeiture will be incurred through his failure to make a tender. Government Land Measure. A township, 36 sections, each a mile square. A section, 640 acres. A quarter section, half a mile square, 160 acres. An eighth section, half a mile long, north and south, and a quarter of a mile wide, 80 acres. A sixteenth section, a quarter of a mile square, 40 acres. The sections are numbered from one to thirty-six, commencing at the northeast comer, thus: 6 5 4 3 2 n w s w n e s e 7 8 9 10 11 12 18 17 16 15 14 13 19 20 21 22 23 24 30 29 28 27 26 25 31 32 33 34 35 36 The sections are all divided in quarters, which are named by the cardinal points, as in section one. The quarters are divi- ded in the same way. The description of a 40 acre lot wpuld read: The south half of the west half of the southwest quarter of section 1 in township 24, north of range 7 west, or as the case might be; and some- times will fall short, and sometimes overrun the number of acres it is supposed to con- tain.98 DECIMAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. THE DECIMAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. is Antiorizea toy Act of Congress- -AbbtotkI Inly 28, 1866. STANDARDS. Tn every system of Weights and Measures it is necessary to have what are called “ Standards,” as the pound, yard, gallon, &c., to he 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., and was in- tended to be, and is very nearly, one ten- millionth of the distance on 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- ity, 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. A cubic Meter (or Kiloliter) is called a stere, and is also usedas a standard in cer- tain cubic measures. THE GRAM Is the Unit of weighty and is the weight of a cube of pure water, each edge of the cube being one one-hundredth of a Meter. It is about equal to 15% grains. It is intended as the Standard in all weights, and with its divisions and multiples, to supersede the use of what are now called Avoirdupois, Apothecaries and Troy Weights. JEach of the foregoing Standards is divi- ded decimally, and larger units are also formed by multiples or 10, 100, &c. The successive subordinate parts are designa- ted by the prefixes Deci, Centi andMilli; the successive multiples by Deka, Hecto, Kilo and Myria; each having its own nu- merical signification, as will be more clear- ly seen in the tables hereinafter given. The terms 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 use, 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.DECIMAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 99 TABLES.

In such case, divide by 12 only. If the time cannot beredueed to the fractiona part of a month, reduce the whole time years, months and days, to days, and divide by 30 and 12. If the time is years and months, reduce the months to the fractional part of a year; add to the years; reduce all to an improper fraction, and divide by the denominator only. Place the Principal, Time, and Rate, on the right of a vertical line; and if the time is days, place 30 and 12 on the left; if the time is months, place 12 only, on. the left: and if the time is years, place nothing on the left. If the Principal, Time, or Rate is a mixed number, reduce it to an improper fraction, and place the numerator on the right, with the denominator on the left. When the Principal is dollars, the answer is cents; in such case, two figures must be cut off for cents; when the Principal is cents, the answer is hundredths of cents; here, cut off two figures, commencing at the right, ,for hundredths, two more for cents, and the remainder at the left is dollars.— The figures thus cut off for cents, hun- dredths, &c., must be whole numbers; while any existing fraction will only be a Slow.to Judge a Horse. A correspondent, contrary to old maxims, undertakes to judge the character of ahorse by outward appearances, and offers the fol- lowing suggestions, the result of his close observation and long experience: If the color be light sorrell, 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 will be treat- ed in return. Nor will a horse of this de- scription stand a whip, if. well fed. If you want a safe horse, avoid one that is dish-faced. He may be so for gentle as not to scare; but he will have too much go- ahead in him to be safe with everybody. If you want a fool, but ia horse of great bottom, get a deep bay, 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. Ablackhorse cannot stand heat, nor a white one cold. If you want a gentle horse, get one with more or less wmte 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.MISCELLANEOUS, 103 Discount and Premium* When a person buys an article for $1,00— 20 per cent off, (or discount,) and sells it again for $1,00, he makes a profit of 25 per cent, on his investment. Thus: He pays 80 cents and sells for $1,00—a gain of 20 cents, or 25 per cent of 80 cents. And for any transaction where the sale or purchase of gold, silver, or currency is concerned, the following rules Will apply in all cases. 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, now much gold should he receive ? In this case the pre- mium is given, consequently we must find the discount on A’s' currency and subtract it 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 other words, the establish- ments advertise; the old die of dignity.— The former are ravenous to pass out of ob- scurity into publicity; the latter believe that their publicity is so obvious that it cannot be obscured. The first understand that they must thrust themselves upon public attention, or be disregarded; the second, having once obtained public atten- tion, suppose they have arrested it perma- nently; while, in fact, nothing is more char- acteristic of the world than the ease with which it forgets. Stephen Girard, than whom no shrewder business man ever lived, used to say: I have always considered advertising liber- ally and long to be the great medium of success in business, and the prelude to wealth. And I have made it an invariable rule too, to advertise in the dullest times as well as the busiest; long experience having taught me that money thus spent is well laid out; as by keeping my business continually before the public it has secured me many sales that I would otherwise have lost.

Many have heard of the brilliant stucco 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, slack it with boiling water, cover it during the process to keep in the steam. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer, and add to it a peck of salt, previously well dissolved in warm wa- ter ; three pounds of ground rice, boiled to a thin paste, and stirred in boiling hot; half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and a pound of clean glue, which has been pre- viously dissolved by soaking it well, and then hanging it over a slow fire, in a small kettle within a large one filled with water. Add five gallons ofhot water to the mixture, stir it well, and let it stand a few days cov- ered from the dirt. It should be put on right hot; for this purpose it can be kept in a kettle on a portable furnace. It is said that about a pint of this mixture will cover a square yard upon the outside of a house if proper- ly applied. Brushes more or less small may be used according to the neatness of the job required. It answers as well as oil paint for wood, brick or scone, and is cheaper. It retains its brilliancy for many years. There is nothing of the kind that will compare with it, either for inside or outside walls. Coloring matter may be put in and made of any shade you like. Spanish brown stirred in will make red pink, more or less deep according to the quantity. A delicate tinge of this is very pretty, for inside walls. Finely pulverized common clay, well mixed with Spanish brown, makes a reddish stone color. Yellow-ochre stirred in makes yel- low wash, but chrome goes further, and makes a color generally esteemed prettier. In all these cases the darkness of the shades of course is determined by the quantity of coloring used. It is difficult to make rules, because tastes are different. It would be best to try experiments on a shingle and let it dry. We have been told that green must not be mixed with lime. The lime de- stroys the color, and the color has an effect on the whitewash, which makes it crack and peel. When walls have been badly smoked, and you wish to have them a clean white, it is well to squeeze indigo plenti- fully through a bag into the water you use, before it is stirred in the whole mixture. If a larger quantity than five gallons be wanted, the same proportion should be ob- served. How to get a Horse out of a Fire. The great difficulty of getting horses from a stable where surrounding buildings are in a state of conflagation, is well known.— The plan of covering their eyes with a blan- ket will not always succeed. A gentleman whose horses have been in great peril from such a cause, having tried in vain to save them, hit upon the expedi- ent of having them harnessed as though go- ing to their usual work; when, to his aston- ishment, they were led from the stable without difficulty. The Chemical Barometer. Take a long narrow bottle, such as an old- fashioned Eau-de-Cologne bottle, and put into it two and a half drachms of camphor, and eleven drachms of spirits of wine; when the camphor is dissolved, which it will readily do by slight agitation, add the following mixture: Take water, nine drachms; nitrate of potash (saltpetre) thirty-eight grains;' and muriate of am- monia (sal ammoniac) thirty-eight grains. Dissolve these salts in the water 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 cork with a red-hot needle. The bottle may then be hung up, or placed in any stationa- ry position. By observing the different appearances which the materials assume, as the weather changes, it becomes an ex- cellent prognosticator of a coming storm or of a sunny sky. Leech Barometer. Take an eight ounce phial, and put in it three gills of water, and place in it a healthy ieech, changing the water in summer once a week, and in winter once in a fortnight, and it will most accurately prognosticate the weather. If the weather is to be fine, the leech lies motionless at the bottom of the glass and coiled together in a spiral form; if rain may be expected, it will creep up to the top Of its lodgings and remain there till the weajther 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 blow hard; if a remarkable storm of thunder and rain is to succeed, it will lodge for some days before almost continually out of the water, and discover great uneasiness in violeiit throes and convulsive-like motions • in frost as in clear summer-like weather it lies constantly at the bottom; and in snow as in rainy weather it pitches its dwelling in the very mouth of the phial. The top should be cov- ered over with a piece of muslin. To Measure Grain in a Bin.—Find the number of cubic feet, from which deduct one-fifth. The remainder is the number of bushels—allowing, however, one bushel extra to every 224. Thus in a remainder of 224 there would be 225 bushels. In a re- mainder of 448 there would be 450 bushels, &c.INTEREST TABLE. 105 Starrs’ Condensed Interest Table, 7 Per Cent. • $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 N t $10 $20 $30 $40 $50 $60 570 $80 $90 $100 $200 $300 $400 $500 $600 $700 $800 $900 ft $1000 $2000 $3000 $4000 $5000 $6000 $7000 $8000 $9000 Ds. i 019 038 058 077 096 115 134 153 173 038 . 077 115 153 192 230 268 307 345 3 058 115 173 230 288 345 403 460 518 4 077 i53 230 307 384 460 537 614 690 5 096 192 288 384 479 575 671 767 803 115 230 345 460 575 690 805 921 1036 7 134 268 403 537 671 805 940 1074 1208 8 153 307 460 614 767 921 1074 1227 1381 9 173 345 518 690 863 1036 1208 1381 1553 192 384 575 767 959 1151 1342 1534 1726 211 422 633 844 1055 1266 1477 1688 1899 12 230 460 690 921 1151 1381 1611 1841 2071 n 14 249 268 499 537 748 805 997 1074 1247 1342 1496 1611 1745 1879 *995 2148 2244 2416 15 288 575 863 1151 1438 1726 2014 2301 2589 16 307 614 921 1227 1534 1841 2148 2455 2762 . 17 326 652 978 1304 1630 1956 2282 2608 2934 18 345 690 1036 1381 1726 2071 2416 2762 3107 *9 364 729 1093 1458 1822 2186 2551 2915 3279 zo 384 767 1151 1534 1918 2301 2685 3068 3452 3625 ZI 403 805 1208 1611 2014 2416 2819 3222 zz 422 844 1266 1688 2110 2532 2953 3375 3797 *3 441 882 1323 1764 2205 2647 3088 3529 3970 Z4 460 921 1381 1841 2301 2762 3222 3682 4142 25 479 959 1438 1918 2397 2877 3356 3836 4315 z6 499 997 1496 1995 2493 2992 3490 3989 4488 Z7 518 1036 1553 2071 2589 3107 3625 4142 4660 28 537 1974 1611 2148 2685 3222 3759 4296 4833 29 556 1112 1668 2225 2781 3337 3893 4449 5005 30 575 1151 1726 2301 2877 3452 4027 4603 5178 3i 595 1189 1784 2378 2973 3567 4162 4756 5351 Mo. i 583 1167 1750 2333 2917 3500 4083 4667 5250 2 1167 2333 ■ 3500 4667 5833 7000 8167 9333 10500 3 1750 35oo 5250 7000 8750 10500 12250 14000 15750 4 2333 4667 7000 9333 11667 14000 16333 18667 21000 5 2917 5833 8750 11667 14583 17500 20417 23333 26250 6 35oo 7000 10500 14000 17500 21000 24500 28000 31500 7 4083 8167 12250 16333 20417 24500 28583 32667 36750 8 4667 9333 14000 18667 23333 28000 32667 37333 42000 9 5250 10500 15750 21000 26259 31500 36750 42000 47250 IO 5833 11667 17500 23333 29167 35000 40833 46667 52500 ii 6417 12833 19250 25667 32083 38500 44917 51333 55750 Y’s. i 7000 1400b 21000 28000 35000 42000 49000 56000 63000 2 14000 28000 42000 56000 70000 84000 98000 112000 126000 3 21000 42000 63000 84000 105000 126000 147000 168000 189000 4 28000 56000 84000 112000 140000 168000 196000 224000 252000 5 35000 70000 105000 140000 175000 210000 245000 280000 315000 6 42000 84000 12600a 168000 210900 252000. 294000 336000 378000 EXPLANATION TO Storrs’ Condensed Interest Table, at 7 Per Cent.

For instance—the interest on $5,000 for ten months is $291 67. For $500, the figure 7 to the right should be pointed off, leaving $29,16,7 as the interest on $500 for the same time.

THE GREATEST IMPROVEMENT Having purchased the Right of ONTARIO COUNTY, to manufacture W.H.Kelly’s Cultivator, I am now prepared to furnish this much desired implement for cultivating the soil, and one that I think will supply the wants of the farming public. This CULTIVATOR is constructed with five small shovel teeth, with cast iron shanks and steel reversible points; so arranged that when One end gets worn, reverse them and you have a New Cultivator; all fastened together with bolts and nuts with large wash- ers, so that no rain nor wet can get into the timber. Also two large wings for hilling purposes, with cast iron shanks and steel points eleven inches broad, and so arranged that you can set them deep or shallow, as occasion may require. One wing sets a little forward of the other, and it will be seen at once that it will not choke up, nke the com- mon shovel plow. It runs steady, holds easy, and cuts up everything in its course, and works to a charm. It answers the double purpose of a Cultivator and Shovel Plow; the wings fasten on the center beam with clasps, bolts and nuts. Fanners, Nurserymen, Hop-Growers, Meiers, Grape- Growers and Tobacco-Growers! You will find it for your interest to use this Cultivator in preference to any other now in use. THIS INVENTION AND COMBINATION WAS PATENTED 1862-3. DIRECTIONS FOR USING: For the first time hoeing or weeding use the five small diamond pointed teeth, as di- rected above; make it any desirable width by means of a nut in the center of the spreader. For the last time hoeing, and wherever a hill is desired, take off1 the two rear teeth from the outer beams and put the two large wings on the centre beam, placing one a little forward of the other.

EAST SIDE OF MATIN' STREET, Second Door below Baptist Church, CANANDAIGUA, - - IN. Y. MOTHERS! READ THIS. Are your children restless-irritable, wakeful, feverish ? Are they cutting teeth ? Are the gums red and painful ? Have they diarrhoea ? Have they fits or spasms ? If so, USE THE ORIENTAL SYRUP. It is the only Syrup or Cordial, or CHILD MEDICINE in market free from Opium, Mor- phine, or Paragoric. These you can’t give; or, at least, you ought not to. They de- stroy the functions of the BRAIN; the child grows pale: its eyes grow wild; its flesh becomes soft; it loses its mind; it becomes an Idiot. Mothers, these are facts! To be convinced, try it. The Oriental Syrup contains NONE of those poisons. It is per- fectly harmless. It is soothing—quieting. The child sleeps sweetly, and awakes refresh- ed and lively. The teeth penetrate the gums without pain. It is good for aged and ner- vous people. TRY IT. DR. G. T. TAFT & CO., Proprietors, Seneca Falls, N, Y. THE BALM OF GILEAD I SIR ASHLEY COOPER, in one of his lectures to his class, says:—I have used the Balm of Gilead in my practice, in one form or other, for more than forty years; and for Old Sores or Ulcers, Eruptions, Rheumatism, Burns, Chilblains, Scalds, Piles, Chafes, &c#, it surpasses every other known remedy. Rosenberger’s Balm of Gilead Ointment Is composed of Oils and Balsams from trees and shrubs, and for all the diseases referred to by Dr. Cooper, we warrant it almost a specific. For Gall, Grease and Wounds of Horses, it has no equal. We warrant it; therefore do not hesitate to try it for every kind of Wound, Bruise or Sore* DR. G. T. TAFT & CO., Proprietors, Seneca Falls, N.

Leary’s Old and Responsi- ble Dyeing and Cleansing Estab- lishment, at Rochester, is represented on page 148.

Its present publisher has been connected with the establishment for more than twen- ty years, during which time he has gained a host of friends, and added very materially to the improvement of his office and the ap- pearance of his paper.

Mattison the gentlemanly “ local” is ever ready to attend to “matters’round home.” The jobbing department of this office is kept fully supplied with material for first class printing.

Howe’s Never-Falling Ague Cure and Tonic Bitters, manufac- tured by Dr. C. B. Howe, at Seneca Falls, have cured thousands of Ague and Fever, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, &c., &c. The Doc- tor also manufactures “Howe’s Concen- trated Syrup,” a valuable remedy for puri- fying the blood, correcting the liver, cleans- ing the skin and for other purposes too nu- merous to mention. For ftirther particu- lars we refer the reader to the Doctor’s card, page 186. Tlie Geneva Gazette, S. H. Parker, Editor and Proprietor, is a large thirty- two column paper, ably edited, and, we be- lieve, fully meets the expectations of its large list of patrons. The paper was com- menced at Geneva, in Nov. 1806, as The Expositor, by James Bogart. It has since assed through several hands, and has orne various titles. About 1840-44, the paper was discontinued. During the gast twenty-two or three years, Mr. Par- er has been, nearly all the time, the lead- ing spirit of the establishment. His friend- ly disposition and gentlemanly manners has won for him many admirers. During the present season he has added Steam power to his establishment, which together with a large amount of type and good resses operated by excellent printers, ren- ers his office first class in every particular, for all kinds of job printing. A reference to the advertising columns of The “ Gazette” will satisfy any reasonable person of the excellent reputation of that paper as an ad- vertising medium. Finally, we would suggest to the sub- scribers of; the ‘ ‘ Gazette” the propriety of filing all. the numbers. Let tne volumes be bound. In this way you will eventually secure the best of all histories of your county, and one that would each year be- come more valuable. See card, page 184. Ranger Sc Elton, Photograph- ers, at Palmyra, publish a card on page 180. We think it will pay anybody within convenient distance to visit this large and elegantly arranged Gallery. The proprie- tors will be pleased to see their former friends from Ontario County, and we are sure as many new ones as choose to call will receive every reasonable attention. Their facilities are unsurpassed if scarcely equaled by any Gallery in Ontario County. We have called at several, and have found none to compare with it. American Hotel, Auburn, Hiram L. Swift, Proprietor, is situated opposite the Court House, and is the best hotel m the city. Mr. Swift is uniformly courteous and obliging to guests, ever seeking to cater for tneir comfort. We motion that you go to the “American” when you visit Auburn, with the conscientious belief that the mo- tion will be seconded, and carried by the mass of “ good fellows,” among travelling men; 4n a word, we say to all who love the comforts of a well-conducted home, to stop with friend Swift. See card, page 180. Henry King,Proprietor of the Ameri- can Hotel Livery. Castle street, Geneva, keeps a large number of well trained horses either for the Carriage or Saddle. His car- riages are of the best make. Travelers or pleasure seekers will find it to their inter- est to call on Mr. King. See card, page 166. Hrs* E. M. Baker, of Canandaigua, as a professional worker in human hair, has gained commendable notoriety. Her Wigs, Curls, Switches, Waterfalls and plain ana ornamental work of all kinds is exe- cuted in the best manner. Her terms are very reasonable. See her card on page 176. Frederick W. Prince, Heal Estate and General Insurance Agent, at Geneva, takes Life, Fire, Accident and Marine risks. He represents several of the strongest com- panies in this country. Col. Prince is also prepared to sell passage tickets to and from the old country, by the most favorable routes and on very favorable terms. See card, page 190. Carpenter Sc Riee, Harness Makers and Saddlers at Phelps, publish a card on page 190. They have been long at the busi- ness here, and the many neat and trim look- ing harnesses turned out from this estab- lishment are sufficient evidence of their skill in their vocation. Cogswell Sc Frost, Marble Workers and dealers at Geneva and Watkins, pub- lish a card on page 160. Their long expe- rience and well-known reputation, makes a recommendation from us entirely unne- cessary. We would merely add, that their Marbles are of the best quality to be found in the market. Their prices and styles can but suit the most particular. Charles Kipp, at Geneva, deals largely in China & Crockery, Earthenware, Glassware, Silver Plated Goods, &c., of which almost every conceivable style may be found at his store on Seneca street. We advise all young people about to com- mence housekeeping, and m fact everybody in want of goods in his line, to call at his store. See card, page 162. • Ayres Sc Thomas, Dry Goods deal- ers, at their Mammoth Store, No. 26 Sene- ca street, Geneva, will be pleased at all times to show their friends and customers their immense stock of fashionable goods. Their store, 180 feet deep, is divided into eight distinct departments, each of which is devoted exclusively to its particular line of goods. Their carpet room is fully sup- plied with the different grades, from the most expensive and elaborate manufacture to the more common and cheap qualities. The proprietors are assisted by twelve or fifteen gentlemanly salesmen, who are ever ready to fill the orders of all who favor them with their patronage.

PUBLISHER’S O.AJRI3, Before leaving the work in which I have, for the past few months, been so earnestly engaged, I desire to return thanks to all who have so kindly aided me in the effort to produce a work, which I confidently hope will prove of great value to its possessors. Those who have furnished information, (historical or otherwise,) for its pages, have my special thanks, while those who have pecuniarily aided in the way of subscriptions for advertising, will, I trust, re- ceive liberal cash dividends as the legitimate fruits thereof. Sub- scribers for the work it is hoped may find much that is new, in- structive, and valuable. As a parting word to my friends in Ontario County, I would suggest to the business men, that very many of them would find Printer's Ink a great lubricator of the wheels of business. Too many seem to have fallen into a settled apathy, as regards business matters; willing to serve such customers as come unasked to their doors, but who make no efforts to retain at home the large amount of trade annually diverted to the cities of Syracuse and Rochester. As a general thing you are not willing to admit that the merchants of those cities can afford to sell the same class of goods cheaper than you can. Their rents, taxes and clerk hire, usually cost far PUBLISHER'S GARB. 235 more than yours-—while your money will buy goods in market just as cheap as theirs. Why, then, should* your citizens patronize the city merchants rather than yourselves 1 In penning this arti- cle I can have no selfish interest in view, as my present work with you is accomplished. It is purely for your own interest that I sug- gest the propriety of your advertising more liberally. Advertise extensively, and all the time-*through the columns of your local newspapers, by hand-bills, by circulars, by cards, by every means you can employ. Advertise) let the people know you are alive, and that you have good goods, and full assortments, in your special lines, and that you will sell cheap, at city prices. And finally, if you keep posted as to the markets, and do as you advertise, our word for it, you will very soon be surprised at the increase of your sales. . I do not mean that advertising alone will build up any busi- ness, or the want of it hinder its prosperity; but I do assert em' phatically, and had I time and space to do so, could prove by large numbers of the many thousand persons with whom I have had bus- iness, that, in nine cases out of ten, advertising liberally and long is one of the best of business investments. Do not be deceived by the too popular idea that “you are so long established, that everybody knows where you are, and what you have to sell.” I tell you it is, on your part, a grave error. How many men in your county have been there but one or two years, or, perhaps, have just made their residence with you % Of what benefit is your “long established reputation” in such a case. Your neighbor, perhaps, who has been in business but a few months, is just as well “established,” in the mind of such a man, as “you,” who boast of being “so long in business that everybody knowTs you and you know everybody.” * Politely speaking, you are “an old fossil” You will say that the new man must have some customers, and you will all stand your chances. Such a course will do very well when you are not anxious to increase your trade, or when you are quite willing to diminish it; for, while you are satisfied with this state of affairs, some more enterprising tradesman will reach your 230 PUBLISHER'S CARD. would-be customer, and perhaps withdraw his patronage from your village altogether. You should bear in mind always, that there is a dividing •point between your village and those adjacent, and that the custom of citizens living near such dividing point, generally goes to that place which holds out the most favorable inducements. A friendly rivalry in advertising, by parties engaged in the va- rious kinds of business, is invariably noticed and commented upon by the masses who read, and tends to materially increase the busi- ness of a village. Don’t be altogether selfish in your motives.— Work for the benefit of your locality, and you will surely reap your reward. In other words, build up your village, make it a center for a large strip of surrounding country. As mediums for advertising, you have many: First of all is your Local Papers ; your Editors are all good fellows, and would be pleased to advise their many readers who to deal with. Try them; they are liberal and uniformly obliging. Their local items, if you would allow it, might be the means of depositing many dollars in your till. As for other means of advertising, “their name is legion,” the principal ingredient of which is Printer's Ink ; the benefit to be derived from which, depends more or less upon the size of doses. With thanks to friends generally, and especially to the several thousand patrons of the “Gazetteer and Directory op Ontario County,” I leave my work for the present, hoping in after years to again meet and serve you in a similar undertaking* HAMILTON CHILD.ONTARIO COUNTY BUSINESS DIRECTORY. 237 IV.
