persons were recognized, on the twenty-sixth of July, by the Baptist Church in Goffstown, as the "Amoskeag branch " of the aforesaid church. January 4, 1837, they were recog- nized as an independent church, and held their first meet- ing as such in a private house the next day. In 1840 a brick building was erected on the corner of Manchester and Chestnut streets, and was occupied until July 8, 1870, when it was destroyed by fire. Steps were taken for the erection of a new church, which was erected on the corner of Concord and Union streets, at a cost of $60,000. The following is the organization : -

MERRIMACK-STREET BAPTIST CHURCH.
This church was an outgrowth from the First Baptist Church, and was organized October 31, 1845, and publicly recognized by council, December 3 of the same year, as the Second Baptist Church. The first pastor was the Rev. A. T. Foss. Meetings were held in Classic hall and Temple hall, Patten's block, then in the chapel on Central street, then in the city hall until the completion of the brick church on the corner of Elm and Pleasant streets, which they oc- cupied for the first time February 22, 1849, and in 1853 they adopted the name of Elm-street Baptist Church. Dis- agreeing with the builders concerning the purchase of the house, they left in February, 1857, and worshiped in Smyth's hall and the city hall until the completion of their present house of worship, October 27 of that year. The house cost about $7,000. The following is the organiza- tion : -
Pastor, Rev. A. Sherwin. Deacons, Caleb Gage, Calvin Boynton, George Holbrook. Treasurer, A. B. Roberts. Superintendent of Sab- bath-school, Rev. A. Sherwin. Clerk, George Holbrook. Sexton, Henry I. Caswell.

They built a house of worship in 1842, at the corner of Merrimack and Chestnut streets, which they exchanged in the fall of 1859 for the church on the corner of Merrimack and Pine streets, previously occupied by the Unitarians. A separation took place in the society, and a large portion of the members left, and organized in 1860 as the Elm-street Freewill Baptist Church. A council was called and the re- maining members were re-organized as the Pine-street Freewill Baptist Church. The present officers are as fol- lows : -

of the town hall. The first pastor of the society was Oliver H. Wellington, who was ordained July 19, 1842. Their first house of worship was a small chapel, leased of the Methodists and removed to the corner of Pine and Merri- mack streets. In 1859 they exchanged houses with the Freewill Baptists, and removed to the corner of Merrimack and Chestnut streets ; and in 1872 they dedicated their present house of worship, on the corner of Concord and Beech streets.

It was enlarged in 1850, and remodeled in 1878, the latter change costing about $7,000.

without settled pastors, or any church organization to hold property. They now occupy Martin's hall, corner of Elm and Lowell streets, and are supplied by itinerant preachers.
CITY MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
In the spring of 1847, the Rev. J. L. Seymour was em- ployed by individuals to work as a home missionary, and in 1850 the Manchester City Missionary Society was organized, and the same year a building was erected on the corner of Merrimack and Beech streets, to be used as a free church. The office of city missionary is now held by Mr. P. K. Chandler, and the duties consist largely of the dispensation of charity to the poor. His office is, at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association, on Hanover street. A Sunday-school is held at the church, of which H. W. Her- rick is superintendent, and preaching services are held occasionally.
MAIN-STREET CHURCH. - PISCATAQUOG.
House of worship erected November, 1820, by the Pres- byterians, and used by them for religious services until 1842, when it was sold, to be used as an academy. In 1855 it was occupied by the Wesleyan Methodists, and in 1856 again by the Presbyterians. In 1867 the church was disbanded, and in 1870 it was given to Mrs. Mary P. Harris, who repaired it and put it into the hands of the Young Men's Christian Association, in whose charge it still remains, the pulpit being supplied occasionally by the city clergy, and a Sunday-school maintained, under the superintendence of George A. Hanscom.
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
In July, 1844, the Rev. William McDonald came to Man- chester to assume the spiritual charge of the six hundred Roman Catholics in the city. They commenced worship in Granite hall, and four years later began the erection of a church on the south-east corner of Union and Merrimack streets, which, after a short season of use, was pronounced unsafe, and had to be rebuilt. With the increase of num- bers, a demand arose for another church, which was built on the corner of Lowell and Pine streets. The French
