It has a flourishing academy, the bell of which was the gift of Queen Anne, to a chapel called after her, which was destroyed during the revolution. It is the county seat. Population 1000.
Kingsboro' is another village in the same township, famous for the manufacture of deerskin gloves and mittens. It has an academy of some note. Population 400.
Gloversville, in the same township, is also celebrated for the manufacture of mittens, gloves and moccasins, of buckskin. Population 400.
At the confluence of Mayfield creek with the Sacandaga river, is the Fish House village, so named from Sir William John- son's summer residence, which stood at this point, and at which he was accustomed to spend a considerable portion of each sum- mer, in hunting, fishing and rural amusements.
About 1000 acres of the Vlaie, or great marsh, extending over some 5000 acres, lie in this vicinity, and afford a valuable range for cattle in the dry season, and a fine fishing and hunting ground for the sportsman.
Rawsonville, in the town of Broadalbin, is a village of some importance. Population 50 .
mercy to any. however innocent and helpless, who had implored it at his hands, begged for quarter from the Indian. "Me give you Sherry valley quarters," was the broken reply of the savage ; alluding to the bloody massacre of Cherry valley, in which Butler had acted so conspicuous a part. With this answer, he buried his tomahawk in the brain of the murderer.

BOUNDARIES. North by St. Lawrence and Franklin counties ; East by Essex Warren and Saratoga ; South by Fulton and Herkimer, and West by Herkimer, counties.
SURFACE. The surface of this county is mountainous, four chains of mountains traversing it, viz: the Kayaderosseras, Clinton, Chateaugay and Au Sable ranges. Much of it is cov- ered with dense forests and lakes, presenting to the eye an ap- pearance very similar, probably, to that of New England, two hundred years ago. The hills are generally susceptible of cul- tivation, the soil being strong and productive, and considerable tracts as arable and fertile as the timber lands of the west.
RIVERS. The principal streams which drain the county are the Racket, Indian, Sacandaga, Oxbow, Moose and Beaver rivers, and West Canada creek.
LAKES AND PONDS. These are almost innumerable, and in the purity of their waters, the picturesque and majestic scenery which surrounds them, the abundance of trout and other fish which they afford, are equal to any in the world.
Long, Indian, Racket, Transparent, Clinch, Crotchet, Pleas- ant, Round, Piseco. Elm, Oxbow, Beaver and Squaw lakes, are the principal. The forests abound with deer and other game, not excepting panthers, bears, catamounts and wolves.
CLIMATE. From its elevation, as well as the density of its forests, the climate is cold, and the winters long.
GEOLOGY AND MINERALS. The county belongs almost entirely to the great northeastern primitive formation ; and its rocks are mainly granite, gneiss and hypersthene.
Iron has been discovered, and probably the other metals and minerals of a primitive country exist. The ore of iron discov- ered is the magnetic, and of excellent quality.
VEGETABLE PRODUCTIONS. The timber is principally beech, maple, black birch, butternut and elm; the lower range of hills

STATE OF NEW YORK.
produces pines of gigantic growth. Portions of the county are well adapted to the culture of grain.
PURSUITS. The inhabitants are mostly devoted to agricultu- ral pursuits and fishing. The county possesses much land suit- able for grazing.
The manufactures are principally domestic.
STAPLE PRODUCTIONS. Butter, cheese, lumber, corn, oats, buckwheat and potatoes.
SCHOOLS. There are twenty-six schools in the county, at- tended by 690 children. The number of months in which schools were taught, during the year 1346, was five, and the amount paid for teacher's wages $677. The number of volumes in the district libraries was 1043.
There is one private school in the county.
RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS. Baptists and Methodists. There are three churches and three clergymen, of all denominations, in the county.
HISTORY. Very little can be said of the early history of this county. The first settlers probably removed from the counties of Montgomery and Fulton, into the wilderness. The first town was organized in 1805. In some sections of the county consid- erable bodies of Welch emigrants have located themselves.
VILLAGES. PISECO, on the Piseco lake, in Arietta, has been designated as the county seat. It is a small but pleasant vil- lage.
Lake Pleasant, on the lake of the same name, is a small vil- lage. It is a favorite resort for sportsmen and anglers.

STATE OF NEW YORK.
SURFACE. This county occupies, for the most part, the second of those elevated tableaux, or plains, which stretch from Lake Ontario to the southern border of the state, and which are divi- ded from each other by steep and almost perpendicular precipi- ces. The table land on which most of Wyoming cou y lies, commences with the ledge, which runs through the southern towns of Genesee county, and over which the waters of Allen's creek are precipitated in Le Roy, and rises wit · an ascent not exceeding ten or twelve feet to the mile, to the ledge over which the Genesee river falls, at Portageville.
There are no mountain ridges in the county, and the declivity of the land is but just sufficient to drain it.
RIVERS. The Genesee river forms the southeastern bound- ary of the county, for a distance of nearly twenty miles, and in its fall over the ledge, at Genesee falls, furnishes a valuable hy- draulic power.
The other principal streams of the county are Allen's creek, (named from the ferocious villain known, for many years, in this region, as Indian Allen,) Tonawanda, Cayuga, Seneca, Wis- koy, and Nunskoy creeks.
LAKE. Silver lake, lying partly in Perry and partly in Cas- tile, is a beautiful little sheet of water, five eighths of a mile wide, and three miles long, elevated several hundred feet above the Genesce river.
The CLIMATE is generally salubrious. The prevailing diseases are of a bilious type.
GEOLOGY AND MINERALS. The county lies almost entirely within the bounds of the Erie group. In the north the Ludlow- ville shales predominate. In the south the Chemung sandstone is the prevailing rock.
Carbonate of lime, crystallized in fantastic and sometimes beautiful forms .* sul- phate of lime, or gypsum, and iron pyrites are abundant. There is some sulphate of barytes, and small seams of anthracite, but, as might be expected in the geo- logical formation of this section, in too small quantities to be of any practical value.
The fossils are mainly vegetable, consisting mostly of fucoides, or mosses. There are also, in some portions of the county, fossil shells, but not in great variety.
SOIL AND VEGETABLE PRODUCTIONS. The soil is generally fer- tile, particularly along the Genesee valley. The forest trees of this county are, in the north part, the beech, maple, hemlock and elm, with some oak. In the southern portion, pine, bass- wood and ash.
The principal crops are oats, wheat, potatoes, corn, flax, barley, peas and buckwheat.
* Among the most singular of these forms are masses, weighing from ten to three hundred pounds, bearing a striking resemblance, in form, to the turtle. Their homogeneous structure, and some peculiarities in their form, preclude the sup- position that they are fossil animal remains.
415
WYOMING COUNTY.
PURSUITS. Agriculture is the principal pursuit. The eastern and northern towns are largely engaged in the culture of grain, particularly wheat and oats. The southern towns are better adapted to grazing.
Manufactures are increasing in the county, but as yet are in their infancy. Flour, leather, lumber, pot and pearl ashes, and woollen goods are the principal articles. The entire value of the goods manufactured in the county, in 1845, was estimated at $412,000.
There are no mines or quarries, of importance, in the county.
The Genesee river canal, affords a convenient mode of trans- portation for the produce of the eastern towns of the county.
STAPLE PRODUCTIONS. Oats, wheat, potatoes, butter, cheese, wool, beef, pork and lumber.
SCHOOLS. There were, in 1846, 198 district schools, in this county. The average amount of instruction given in these was eight months. 20,479 volumes were reported in the district school libraries ; and $12,946 was the amount paid for the in- structi ››: of 11,517 children.
There were also eight private and select schools, with 220 pupils, in the county, and three incorporated seminaries, with 132 students.
RELIGIOUS !ENOVINATIONS. Baptists, Methodists, Presbyte- rians, Congregationalists, Universalists, Episcopalians, Roman Catholics and Dutch Reformed. There are in the county fifty- four churches and sixty-four clergymen. of all denominations.
HISTORY. The first settler in this county was Mr. Elizur Webster, who removed from New England, and settled in the present town of Warsaw, in 1803. His daughter, (now the wife of Hon. A. W. Young of this county, ) was the first child born in the county. Many of the early settlers were from Washington and the adjacent counties in Vermont. These generally settled in the vicinity of Warsaw.
As a part of the Genesee valley, its fertility attracted a host of emigrants to its borders, and though the youngest county in the state in its organization, it occupies a middle rank in population.
Much of the land was formerly owned by the Holland Land Company, but it has, within a few years been very generally purchased by actual settlers.
The Gardeau tract, or flats, was a tract of about 10,000 acres, lying on the Genesce river, partly in the town of Castile, which the Indians reserved in a treaty with Robert Morris, in 1797, as a gift to the Seneca wi ite woman, Mary Jemison .*
* This extraordinary woman was a native of Ireland, and was taken prisoner by the Indians, when a child twelve or thirteen years of age. She was adopted by an Indian family, and embraced the Indian faith, habits and customs. She was

STATE OF NEW YORK.
Wyoming county formed part of Genesee county, till 1841, when it was organized as a separate county, and, in 1846 the towns of agle and Pike, and that portion of Portage lying west of Genesee river, wer taken from Allegany county and an- nexed to it. The las town received the name of Genesee Falls.
VILLAGES, &c. WARSAW, the county seat, in the town of the same name, was settled by emigrants from New England, who were highly intelligent and religious, and to this day it is charac- terized by the intelligence and morality of its inhabitants. It is situated in the idst of a fine agricultural district, and has some manufactures. The first church edifice erected west of the Genesee river, was standing in Warsaw a few years since. Popu a ion . 00.
Perry is a thriving and busy town, considerably engaged in manufactures. T ere ar two villages in the town, Perry and Perry Centre. here is an academy at Perr , of some note, and a number of manufacturing establishments. Population 1200.
At Perry Centre a literary institution, called the Perry Centre Institute, has recently been established.
Middlebury has a flourishing academy, incorporated in 1817, located in the village of Wyoming, which is situate in a pleas- ant valley, has a population of about 600.
Genesee Falls, in the town of the same name, formerly called Por geville, is situated at the falls of the Genesee river, one of the ost romantic and interesting locations in western New York. In the space of two u iles there are three distinct falls, of 60, 90, and 110 feet, each possessing beauties of a character peculiar to itself. The banks of the river tower up in stupend- ous perpendicular walls, more than 400 feet in height, and are crowned with gigantic evergreens, which, from their venerable appearance, seem to have maintained their position for ages.
Notwithstanding the immense depth to which the bed of the river has been worn, its turns are short and graceful, giving the admiring visitor new, though limited views, at every stage of his progress.
In June, 1817, a land slide of about fifteen acres took place from the side of a hill in this town, into the river, which for some time completely dammed it, leaving a perpendicular bank more than 100 feet in height.
The hydraulic power furnished by the falls of the Genesee, is improved to a considerable extent. Population S00.
married twice to Indian chiefs, and died in September, 1833, at the age of ninety or ninety-one years. Since her death, most of her extensive property has been sold by her heirs.
