by Jacob Willse, was subsequently removed 1 to a site located some distance from the foot of the hill, and here it was tended by Michael MI. Ryer. Radical changes have occurred over the route just traversed, the streets, as they were extended, making the more important alterations, New houses assisted to dispel the earlier scenes, and the entire neighborhood is altogether as a new play would be upon the dramatic stage. Certain other parts of the township have ex- perienced like variations, particularly near the doeks from which cattle, coal and petroleum are now shipped. One of these localities is devoted to each of these branches of industry, and all cover a considera- ble area, though not a little of this area was onee shore and meadow.


Buildings and population of the township pro- gressed, as may be seen by the increase from year to year in the local census of school children and in the number of election votes. Children betwixt the ages of five and eighteen in the year 1867, 69: 1869. 71; 1871, 110; 1873, 162; 1875, 165; 1879, 265, 1881, 301. The vote shown by returns announced for the ' said the county superintendent in his report for year 1865 numbered 27 ; 1871, 75; 1877, 83.


Denning Duer represented this township in the Board of Chosen Frechoklers from 1859 till 1866, when he was succeeded by Joshua J. Benson. For the period extending from 1869 till 1874 this posi- tion was filled by John Frost, with the exception of 1871, the township being represented that year by Albert B. Dod. In December, 1877, a meeting was held in the city of Newark having for its object material interests of the State. It was a 'gathering convened with the view of weighing trans- portation matters, and numbered thirty-six persons. Among the rest were present, George H. Cook, Samuel B. Dod, Nathaniel Dale, Solon Humphreys, John G. Stevens, William W. Shippen.


Several counties were represented at this confer- ence. A constitution was chosen, a board of directors selected to proceed to some practical considerations. The main feature at this meeting was an address read by one of the members on "Terminal Interest," in which this locality shows no little degree of attention. The North Hudson County Railway Company has laid its tracks through this township en route to Union Hill, adding its conveniences of travel. Steps were taking to regulate grade and in other particulars im- prove the "lower road," running into Bull's Ferry road, and also to improve Bull's Ferry road. Very material progress arose from this measure, the vicinity improved rapidly and dwellings of a cozy description multiplied. The authorities deliberated from time to time over measures very materially promoting the publie convenience and security. Arrangements were effected and went into operation greatly enhancing the general interests. From a


few topies talked over during a brief conference at a meeting of the township committee in the earlier days of the township, held at Perry's hostelry, in the Elysian Fields, the local committee extends its con- sideration now to a multitude of themes.


All the functions of a full township came into active exercise here, with the additional appendages of a lamp, police and an incipient fire department. The town- ship, in the year 1869, came to an unanimous vote against the suggested plan to consolidate the munici- palities into one, and make one city of the eleven cities, towns and townships then existing throughout this county. In 1883 a county tax was paid by this municipality of $9188; the State school tax paid amounted to §4072, predicated upon a valuation in gross of $1,645,575, the personal valuation being $45,150, and the real $1,600,425.


The school property in the township is, by report of 1875, placed at four thousand five hundred dollars valuation. Average attendance, twenty-six; number of scholars enrolled, seventy-one. Distriet No. 7, 1871, comprises the township of Weehawken; it has a good school-house and a good school. Number of children reported in this district in 1872, one hundred and forth-six ; pupils in attendance at private schools, fifty. Quite probably the only person now living who attended the school taught for this region then, is Mr. E. Deas, whose early years were passed at the homestead, at Deas' Point. The teacher was Mr. Bradley Randall, who was the local teacher from 1811 till about the close of the year 1825. Mr. Deas remembers well the early preceptor and the old school- honse located at that period a few yards south of what is now the Hoboken City Cemetery entrance, Bergen turnpike, at North New Durham. The chil- dren of this vicinity attended the New Durham school for many years, or until about the year 1857, when a nearer school-house was built. This was styled the Weehawken School, and dedicated by appropriate services Nov. 9, 1857. That edifice is now superseded by a new edifice, with all the modern appointments, located on New York Avenue. No. 7 succeeded.


A church organization was matured here in the year 1865, styled the Weehawken Presbyterian Church. The structure is of wood, situated west side of Park Avenue, nearly midway betwixt the site of the ancient ferry dock and that of the okl William Toll House. Work began upon this building in the summer of 1870, and dedication services were held in it May, 1571. Rev. Robert Proudfit served the congregation as their earliest pastor. The vicinity has been favored occasionally with courses of winter evening lec- tures, the church officials permitting the building to be used. Hon. Charles H. Winfield gave a discourse here on one occasion, taking for his subject a local theme; and Hon. A. A. Hardenbergh addressed an audience one evening here upon the topic " Cawritten Ilistory." It is said somewhere very pithily that it is

The substitution of the horse-car for the omnibus was ab advance in the way of transit. Experiments were made with the steam dummy, but this mode of travel but only a short career in this locality. Old residents who seeall the hack, the coach, the stage an I omnibus, do so when thinking of things of the past. They refer also, in a random way, of the wind- ing rute over the causeway to the cottage of R man, the first house met with after leaving the toll-gate. In a > Pilar effort of recollection, they recall the old Shakes hope for your by bussman. It was a popular inn for many years. The old house at the north edge of the Flysian Fields (many of the carly fishermen called it the Bolivar House) yields a rich store of recul- lections. It was kept many years by a little white- haired veteran, with the brogue to his speech. He was called Stevens. The ancient Benson dwelling has also its reminiscence Hundreds of people with- in the past few years, while riding in the horse-cars by the new route, have revived their re sen brances somewhat in this style.


AAfter noting alterations by way of route and mode of transit on the land, the idea naturally arises what evidences have we suggested here of river and ocean navigation? The facts referred to in talk- In- neath the shade of Weehawken's trees are vast in number. The increasing spirit of trade and com- merer prompted rapid transit, as well upon the sea as open the land Many a sca-captain and many a sailor whiled the dallying hour away amid the Wer- hawken groves during the earlier detales of the cur-

A glance at the craft in servier about forty-five years ago, will yield a historical heat. We quote from the New York Sun, of Vig. 19 19

Since the days of this levinthan other favorites have come and gone, and many changes have trans- pired in methods with the sea. The craft about the ocean and open the noble Hudson during the three or four past decades were numerous, and in referring to this thethe numerous suggestions must present themselves 'te the mind of the reader.


These eligible outlooks, in the vicinity of the ferry where plied " the first steam ferry-boat in the world," command views always varying and attractive. When the comedy or the tragedy, and it has both, of this region is introduced, one is npt to drop it for the magnificent prospect.
