The Northern rail road has two stations in town ; one at Brush's Mills and the other near Moira Corners. At the foriner is an extensive wood station.

Wm. Pierce, a youth of 17, was tried at Malone, in July, 1839, for the murder of his father, and convicted. On the 10th of January previous, Willard Johnson and his son were working for the father of the prisoner. A dispute arose between the deceased and the prisoner, in relation to the use of a horse by the latter, to go to a spelling school. When they got to the field, where they were at work clearing land, Johnson directed the prisoner to cut a certain tree, to which he replied he would not, giv- ing as his reason, that the old man would not let him have the horse, &c. About this time the father came up, and the dispute was renewed. The prisoner said his father promised him the horse, the father denied it, upon which the prisoner gave him the lie. On this the father threat- ened to flog him, and picked up a stick and struck him. The son step- ped back, stood four or five seconds, raised his axe, and advancing rapidly four or five steps, struck his father with the axe in the right breast, driv- ing the whole bit of the axe into the chest, of which wound the father died in about forty hours. The prisoner was sentenced to be hanged on the 2d day of September following. This sentence was commuted by Governor Seward to imprisonment for life.

Religious Societies .- The Christian sect originated in this town in 1816, under the labors of James Spooner, who came from New Hamp- shire, a young man of 20, and hired out as a laborer. In August, 1827, a church of 17 members was formed, and since continued, numbering 73 in all. Present number (October, 1852), 29. In connection with the Methodists, they have a church at Moira village.

A Congregational church and society exist in town, the latter having been incorporated April 26, 1823, with Horace Dickinson, Enos Day and John Cooper, trustees.

The Catholics are about forming a society at Brush's Mills.

WESTVILLE,

Was formed from Constable, with its present limits, April 25, 1829. Its name was suggested from its being the west part of Constable, and a post office named West Constable, had been established the year be- fore. This has not since been changed. The first town meeting day having passed without election, Alric Man, Sylvester Langdon and Eseck Sprague, justices, filled the several offices by appointment, viz: Guy Meigs, supervisor ; Ebenezer Leonard, clerk; Ebenezer Man, Good- rich Hazen, Stephen B. Clough, assessors ; Samuel Fletcher, collector ; Ira Briggs, Philemon Berry, overseers of the poor ; Buel H. Man, Henry G. Button, P. Berry, com'rs of highways ; S. Fletcher, Leonard Willson, constables ; E. Man, John M. Rogers, S. B. Clough, com'rs of schools ; Stephen Felton, E. Leonard, Samuel Coggin, Ins'r of com. schools ; P. Berry, pound keeper.

Supervisors .- 1829, Guy Meigs; 1830, Philemon Berry; 1831-2, Good- rich Hazen ; 1833-5, Alric Man; 1836-7, Henry G. Button ; 1838-9, P. Berry ; 1840-1, Buel H. Man; 1842-3, Alric Man; 1844-5, Samuel Cog- gin ; 1846-7, James Walker; 1848-9, Samuel Man; 1850-1, Richard E. Morey ; 1851, Ebenezer Man, to fill vacancy, occasioned by death of R. E. Morey ; 1852, P. Berry.

The first settler in Westville, is said to have been Amos Welch, from Grand Isle, Vt., about 1800. Haskins, Elisha Sabins, Samuel Fletcher, John Reed, Alexander McMillen, Silas Cushman, John Livings- ton, Joseph and Thomas Wright and Alric and Dr. Albor Man, mostly from Vermont, settled in 1803, or before, principally on a road, that in _ 1800 had been made passable in winter from the settlements in Chateau- gay to St. Regis. The two brothers Man were from Addison, Vt., and moved into town in March, 1803. The Wright families were from Salem, N. Y.

Amos Welch built the first saw mill in town, and before the lands had been opened for sale. Dr. Man built the second saw mill, in 1803. Wm Bailey, for many years an inhabitant of Plattsburgh, and one of the first land agents in the county, and an early settler of Chateaugay, held with Albon Man, for many years, the agency of the town. The first sale of land was to Joseph Wright, Nov. 19, 1802. Alexander Mc Millen, Henry Briggs, Oliver Bell, Thomas Chamberlain, Barnabas Berry, Ezekiel Paine, Simeon Sin th, settled at an early day; and for several years the settlements increased quite rapidly. The first school was taught in 1806, at the house of Dr. Man, by Samuel Russell. 'Town- ships 2 and 3 were surveyed into thousand acre lots in 1802, by Wright aud Raymond, and subsequently subdivided into quarters.

Near the point wherethe principal road from Fort Covington to Malone, crosses Salmon river, in this town, is a forge for the manufacture of bar iron from bog ore, which occurs in the swamps of this town and Constable. This forge was erected by David Erwin, about 1810, and has been more or less used nearly every year since its first erection. It produced for many years the nails used in the country, which were made by the tedious and expensive methods in use before the invention of the machinery now

used. Plates of iron of the width of a nail's length were first plated out under the forge haminer, and these were subsequently cut and headed by hand. The usual price for these nails, was thirty cents a pound, and the cost for this necessary article formed no small propor- tion of the expenses of building. There is another forge about three miles above.

In 1822, a part of No. 2, and the whole of No. 3, not previously sold, was conveyed to Edward Ellice, of London, as payment for money loaned by Alexander Ellice, to Constable, in the purchase of the tract. The most of this town, in common with that part of the county under- laid by standstone, is susceptible of high cultivation.

In the north part of Westville, about midway between the east and the west lines, and half a mile from the provincial boundary, is a medi- cinal spring, which enjoys a local celebrity for the cure of cutaneous diseases. The waters are strongly sulphurous, and slightly chalybeate. Several years since, limited accommodations were erected in the vicinity, for the convenience of those invalids who might resort thither, for me- dicinal aid.

Religious Societies .- Meetings were held at first by the Rev. Alex'r Proudfit, to whose congregation several of the first emigrants had be- longed.

A Presbyterian church formerly existed in town, who employed the Rev. Mr. Reed as minister, but the society is now said to be scattered. A Universalist society was formed in 1847.

The Westville Free church was erected in 1837, at a cost of $3,300, as a union church for the several orders in town. Mr. Ellice contributed $1,000 towards the expense.

The Medical society of Franklin county was instituted in October, 1809, but the records are mostly lost, and a list of members from recol- lection is omitted on account of imperfections. Its seal has for its device a lancet within the name and date, and the words " AEEKYAAIIIOY," and "Triumphalis," the latter spelled backwards.

A series of benevolent societies were formed in St. Lawrence county more than twenty years since, which are at present the Bible Society, Home Missionary Society, Tract Society, Foreign Missionary Society, &c. Others have existed, but we have been unable to obtain their statistics, except that of the first named, to which we are indebted to the Hon. John Fine, who has been identified with it since the beginning. It was formed in January, 1820, and became auxiliary to the American Bible Society in April, 1820. It has paid $1,560 in donations to the parent society, and bought near $11,000 worth of Bibles and Testaments, of which it has distributed more than any other local society, except Mon- roe, Rensselaer and Brooklyn. It has twice supplied every family with a Bible, and once every Sabbath school scholar with a Testament. It lias once supplied every reader with a Bible or Testament. It still continues in active operation and purchases yearly about $500 worth for sale and distribution. 'The: e societies are mostly auxiliary and hold anniversaries on the third Wednesdays of January in different parts of the county.

A similar series of societies exists in Franklin county, viz: Bible So- ciety, organized Oct. 27, 1818, which has had 300 members. In 1850 it received $288.35, and in 1851, $239-36. Measures were taken in 1845, for supplying every family. The first officers were Hiram Horton, presi- dent; Asa Hascall, corresponding secretary; Francis L. Harrison, re- cording secretary ; Cone Andrus, treasurer. A Peace Society formed at Constable, Feb. 23, 1848, with Henry Longley, president; G. C. Cotton, secretary. A Tract Society formed Jan. 26, 1842, which has distributed from 9,000 to 14,000 pages annually. The first officers were Gen. Pren- tice Sabin, president; G. C. Cotton, secretary. All Anti-Slavery Society formed in 1829. This met the other societies in their anniversaries, but did not transact business. A Missionary Society, Jan. 27, 1842, with Silvester Langdon, president; G. C. Cotton, secretary ; Hiram Horton, treasurer. This in three years was dropped, as each denomination lias one of its own.

The above hold anniversaries in January or February. We regret our inability to extend these notices from the full materials collected by Mr. Gideon C. Cotton, of Malone.

The first Temperance society of Northern New York, was formed in Constable. Feb. 1, 1829. The original pledge and subscription is before us, but our space forbids its insertion. The Franklin county Temperance society, was formed by the Rev. Mr. Axtel, agent of the State society, Oct. 15, 1829, it continued its meetings about six years, and its first officers were Col. Silvester Langdon, president, Dr. T. R. Powell, secre- tary. In 1837, it was reorganized. The St. Lawrence Temperance society,

519

AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES.

was formed in 1829, and like the former, was auxiliary to the State society. Local societies were formed as follows; with the numbers re- ported at the first annual meeting: Oswegatchie, March, 1828, 110; Gouverneur, March, 1829, 100. In 1828, 10,000 gallons of spirits sold. In 1829, 5,000; Edwards, Dec. 1829, 17. Two distilleries in town; Rus- sell, Jan., 1829, 57. No distilleries, and no spirits sold in 1829: Canton, July, 1829, 112; Potsdam, Oct., 1828, 102. In 1828, 10,000 gallons of liquor sold; in 1829, none; Parishville, Jan., 1829, 40; Hopkinton, Nov., 1829, 35; West Stockholm, Jan., 1829, 20; East Stockholm, Jan. 4, 1830, 81 : Norfolk, Jan. 4, 1830, 25; Dekalb, Feb. 1829, 66; Waddington, March, 1829, 38; Richville, Oct. 17, 1829, 47. Two or three buildings raised the year previous without the aid of ardent spirits. A County Young Men's Temperance society, was formed in Canton, March 21, 1834.

A Teacher's association was formed in Malone, Nov., 9, 1842, and cou- tinued but a short time.

A County Lyceum, auxiliary to a state Lyceum, and forming a part of a series embracing nation, state county, town, and school district lyceums, was formed at Canton, Feb. 27, 1833, and continued a few years. It had for its objects mental improvement, and the promotion of educational interests.

In the class of benevolent associations, we are proud to place those formed in 1847, for raising means to relieve the famine and distress which prevailed in Ireland and Scotland, from short crops, and the ravages of the potato rot, which brought the peasantry of these countries to the greatest want for food.

A public meeting was held at the Presbyterian house in the village of Ogdensburgh, on the evening of the 1st of March, 1847, of which the Hon. Henry Van Rensselaer, was chosen president. Joseph Rosseel, Elijah B. Allen, George M. Foster, and Sylvester Gilbert, vice presidents. H. G. Foote, and F. B. Hichcock, Dr. S. N. Sherman, and David C. Jud- son, were appointed a committee on resolutions. A series of resolutions expressing in the warmest language, commiseration for the sufferings of the starving, were passed, and an executive committee, consisting of D. C. Judson, H. Van Rensselaer, S. N. Sherman, G. N. Seymour, A. B. James, J. G. Hopkins, H. S. Humphrey, C. G. Myers, and John Fine, were appointed to collect and forward in the shortest time possible, such supplies as might be had for immediate shipment to Europe. In their appeal to the public, they said; "The wail of distress has come upon us, not in the single and casual cases of contagion and disease, or mingled with the shouts of victory from the battle field, but in the deep and dying groans of thousands perishing for want of food. Every new arrival from Europe, brings new and more extended accounts of the destitution of its inhabitants and of the miseries they are suffering. In the land of our forefathers, or from which those who are a part and parcel of us came, in England, in Scotland, and in Ireland, but mostly in the latter, does this destitution exist; and the miseries of starvation, of perishing of the want - of sustenance occur to such an overwhelming extent, that the details are lost sight of in the magnitude of the general suffering and in the mnul- titude of deaths-for the want of food. Shall we, who are blessed with abundance-who enjoy the bounties of Providence to almost an unlimit- ed extent-shall we not be ready to part with some of that abundance to save the famishing in those countries with which our sympathies and feelings are most strongly united? * * The organization and arrange- ments in our principal cities and towns, (enlisting as they have the ser- vices of citizens of the highest character, for probity and intelligence) have already arranged channels of communication and distribution,

520

HISTORY OF ST. LAWRENCE .

through which our donations will be made sure of reaching their objects. We have here at the outset, the offer, (as will be seen by the proceedings of the meeting accompanying this) of the gratuitous conveyance of do- nations by the principal steam boat line from this place as far as their boats run, on the route towards the sea board, and we anticipate further evidence of liberality along the line, while at this place such arrange- ments have been made, that no charges will be made for storage, &c. Under such circumstances the committee offer their services and the facilities which they can command to their fellow citizens, not only of Ogdensburgh and its vicinity, but to the county of St. Lawrence generally, and they respectfully invite them to some early organized ac- tion in the different towns, by which the general sympathy existing in the community can be brought into action while the sleighing lasts, that their contributions may go forward with the opening of the naviga- tion. The absolute destitution of millions of people, of means and of food, affords ample field for the exercise of charity, in any shape-in money, in wheat, in corn, in rye, in beans, in peas, in pork, in beef, in clothing, in short, every thing of food, or raiment, which will bear traus- portation. Let him who hath but little give but sparingly, and he who hath much give more, but let all give something, so that when we here- after hear, as we fear we shall, of further suffering and perishing, we can each and every of us have the consolation of knowing and feeling that we have done our part to mitigate their calamities and relieve their distress."

This appeal had an effect throughout the county, generally, and on the 2d of June, the committee had forwarded 367 barrels, viz: 243 barrels of wheat flour, 43 of rye flour, 6 of oatmeal, 12 of beans, 4 of peas, 7 of pork, and one cask of sundries, for the Irish. Besides the foregoing, 52 barrels of provisions were forwarded to Scotland, by the same remittance, on further directions were given, than to bestow them upon the needy and deserving. The following is the communication of the committee to the central committee of New York, which accompanied the invoice.

" The Executive committee appointed by a meeting of the citizens of Ogdensburgh, to take into consideration, means for aiding the suffering in Ireland and Scotland, having sent forward the last of the supplies, which the benevolence and liberality of the inhabitants of St. Lawrence county have committed to their charge in pursuance of a resolution of the meeting appointing them, submit the following report .- That the appeal made by them to their fellow citizens of the county was inore promptly and generally responded to than from the lateness of the sea- son they had reason to expect, and has enabled them to send forward to the care and charge of the New York committee, 367 barrels of pro- visions, flour, &c. The corn meal came wholly from Waddington, where they have the means of kiln drying, which we not having. here, induced the committee to exchange the contributions of corn, for an equal quantity of rye, which together with the wheat has been floured and packed in the best manner for exportation. Small quantities of oats, buck wheat, &c., have been exchanged for wheat. The whole business has been done without charge upon the cash fund, except some minor charges for repacking, cartage, &c. That the county of St. Lawrence, after the first of March, (in which to the opening of navigation our roads have been almost impassable), should by their spirited efforts have gathered together of their benevolent contributions, more than $3,000 worth of food, for a foreign suffering people, independent of cash con-

tributions, is most creditable to their humanity and generosity." The efficiency of the aid received from Massena and Potsdam, is especially noticed by the committee.

Religious Associations .- The St. Lawrence Baptist Association, was or- ganized in the fall of 1813, in Stockholm, in a log house on the St. Regis river, owned by Zephaniah French, by Elder Hascall, founder of Hamilton Seminary, Elder Starkwether, from Vermont, and a very few others. It embraces St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, and the following churches, with numbers in each in . 1852; Brandon, 57; Burke, 66; Canton, 131; Chateaugay, 34; Constable, 13; Edwards, 32; Fowler, 24; Fort Covington, 97; Gouverneur, 176; Hermon, 80; Madrid, 128; Malone, 203; Morristown, 50: Massena 49; Lawrence, 60; Nicholville, 82; Og- densburgh, 184; Parishville, 172; Pitcairn, 24; Potsdam, 29; Russell, 2; Richville, 87; Stockholm, 53; total 1,961. During the previous year 32 had died, 55 added by baptism, and 66 by letter.

The Baptist Missionary Convention, was formed in 1827, auxilliary to a state society. It holds meetings annually on the first Wednesday of January, by rotation in the two counties. In connection with this, the St. Lawrence Bible Society of the Baptist denomination, meets and trans- acts its business. The latter was formed in September, 1836, and is auxiliary to a national society. During its first year it raised $198 63.

The St. Lawrence Quarterly Meeting (Free Will Baptist), was organized in 1837, and at the time embraced three churches in the two counties. The present number is nine. It extends into Jefferson county. The churches in De Kalb and Fowler, belong to the Jefferson quarterly meet- ing; and the other seven to the St. Lawrence quarterly meeting. The St. Lawrence yearly meeting, was formed at Fowler, in July, 1842, of the two quarterly meetings above named, to which a third (Clinton) has been added. It embraces 23 churches, 13 ordained ministers, 6 licentiates "and 656 communicants.

Catholic Churches exist at St. Regis, Chateaugay, Malone, Fort Coving- ton, Hogansburgh, Canton, Massena, Waddington, Potsdam, Ogdensburgh and Brasher. They belong to the Albany Diocese, and were built as fol- lows: Brasher, in 1851, by Rev. James Keveny ; Canton, built by Rev. James Mackey ; Chateaugay (St. Patrick's), in 1845, by Rev. B. McCabe; Fort Covington (St. Mary's), in 1837-8, by Rev. John McNulty ; Hogans- burgh (St. Mary's), in 1833-4, by Rev. J. McNulty, who has been succeeded by Rev. James Keveny and Rev. Thomas Keveny ; Malone (St. Joseph's), in 1836, by Rev. J. McNulty, who has been succeeded by Rev. J. Keveny, and it is now under the charge of Rev. Bernard McCabe. A larger place of worship is expected to be soon built here. Massena (St. Peter's), built by Rev. J. McNulty; Ogdensburgh (St. Mary's), now under the charge of Rev. James Mackey. A large stone church is being built here. Pots- dam, built by Rev. P. Phellan; St. Regis, (see chapter 2 of this work); Waddington (St Mary's), built by Rev. James Mackey, now under the charge of Rev. P. Phellan.

The Northern Christian Conference, embracing Franklin, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties, at present numbers about 250 communicants, and meets by adjournment on the Friday preceding the last Sabbath in June, In the foregoing pages, we have noticed the several churches of this sect.

The St. Lawrence Consociation (Congregational), was formed at Madrid, Feb. 9, 1825, and embraces the lay element of this church. The dele- gates that formed it were Rev. Oliver Eastman, Joseph Hulburt and Dea Caleb M. Foot, of Madrid; Rev. Moses Ordway and Dea. G. Stowe, of
