Wood Creek and Fish Creek, with their tributaries, drain four entire towns, and portions of five others, in the north- west section of the county, and after uniting their waters for a short distance, empty into the east end of the Oneida Lake. The Oneida Creek, which forms the western boun- dary of the county, opposite the towns of Vernon and Verona receives the Skenandoa Creek, a stream that rises in the western part of Augusta, runs south a short distance, then east, and shortly takes a northerly and north-westerly course, passing through Vernon until it falls into the former stream near the north-west corner of Vernon, and south-west eorner of Verona.
The town of Sangerfield, in the south-west corner of the county, although one part is watered by the east branch of the Oriskany, sends a small stream into the Chenango River, one of the branches of the Susquehanna,-and the town of Bridgwater, in the south-east corner of the county, is drained by a head-water of the Unadilla, another tributary of the Susquehanna.
The towns of Remsen and Boonville, in the north-east section of the county, contain not only head-waters of the Mohawk, but the Black River, which empties into Lake Ontario at Sacketts Harbor, passes through these towns, receiving numerous small streams in its passage.
It will, therefore, be seen that the water from the north- west part of the county reaches the Atlantic by the Oneida Lake and River, the Oswego River, Lake Ontario, the River and Gulf of St. Lawrence ; while that in the north- east part finds the same outlet by the Black River, Lake

Ontario, etc. The water in the south-west corner reaches the same ocean by the Chenango and Susquehanna Rivers, and Chesapeake Bay ; while that in the south-east part finds the same egress by the Unadilla,-a head-water of the Susque- hanna. And this while the great central portion of the county discharges its waters into the Atlantic by the Mo- hawk and Hudson Rivers.
GEOLOGY .- Few counties in the State present as great a variety of geological formations.
The primary system is found in the north-east part of the county, bordering on the Black River. At this point, granite, Black River and Trenton limestone are its compo- nents. Bordering on these are the Utica slate and the Hud- son River group of shales and sand-stone. The Oneida slate. seen in almost every section of the county, next follows; and this is succeeded by the Clinton and Lockport groups of limestone, rich in fossils, and the Onondaga salt group, here mainly made up of red and green shales. The Oriskany sand-stone is found in many of the valleys of those streams in the south part of the county which run in a northerly direction. The Marcellus shales appear at a few isolated points in quite the south part of the county ; as also is the Hamilton group of limestone.
Minerals .- The county is rich in iron ore. It is inex- haustible in the towns of Kirkland, Westmoreland, and Verona. Peat and marl are found in many localities. The principal mineral springs are noticed in the towns in which they are situated.
ELECTIONS .- The first town meeting held in the district (town) of Whitestown, was convened at the house of Capt. Daniel C. White, in said district, on Tuesday, the 7th day of

Wednesday, 10 o'clock in the morning, met according to adjournment, and the poll list being opened and kept open till about five o'clock in the afternoon, at which time the poll list was closed, and upon canvassing the same, found that Jedediah Sanger was unanimously elected Supervisor, with the munber of 119 votes, which choice was publicly declared in said meeting, and that he hath produced a certificate from Hugh White, Esq., that he has taken the oath of office.
" Attest for ELIJAH BLODGET, Town Clerk. " Attest for ASHBEL BEACH, Town Clerk." .
In this " our day and generation" proceedings like these would be considered very singular. They are not given because they possess very much interest to the public, so far 25 the offices or candidates are concerned ; but they have been transcribed to show the spirit of the times, and to show the manner in which the people, in the early settlement of this country, transacted their business in their town meet- ings. Some of the results of this double election are decid- edly unique. The defeated candidate for Supervisor of the first day, was elected unanimously on the second; but to place the matter beyond doubt, the two Town Clerks sign his certificate of election.
Most of the candidates, as well as voters, were natives of New England, and it was of old in the New England town meetings where the people learned that they possessed the rights and abilities of freemen. The student of history soon learns that the attempt to abridge the rights of the New Englanders when assembled in town meeting, was a promi- nent cause of the Revolution; and also that those town meetings were powerful means in gaining our independence Most of the actors in that town meeting had fought for liberty

in the Revolution, and we see with what tenacity they elung to their military titles.
Many of those then elected to petty offices in the back- woods town of Whitestown,-a town, however, then larger in territory than some of the kingdoms of Europe,-after- wards became men of distinetion, and arose to some of the most honorable places under our Government. Their history would fill a large volume. Messrs. Dean, White, Sanger, and Maynard, were Judges of the County; Mr. Colbrath was Sheriff of Herkimer and Oneida Counties; Messrs. Collins and Doolittle were Generals in the Militia, and the first as such, served his country in the war of 1812; Messrs. Foot, Cassety, Isaac Jones, Joseph Jones, Wetmore, Leven- worth, Phelps, and others, were for many years Justices of the Peace; Isaac Jones the first Supervisor of Westmore- land; and several others became distinguished in their various avocations and positions in life.
The first general election held in the town of Whitestown, was opened at the Cayuga Ferry (Bridge), thenee adjourned to Moorehouse's Tavern in Manlius, thence to Fort Stanwix, and closed at Whitesboro.
In 1791, at the town meeting in Whitestown, Jedediah Sanger was elected Supervisor, Ashbel Beach Town Clerk, Ebenezer Butler (afterwards of Pompey) Collector, James Wadsworth of Geneseo, Trueworthy Cook of Pompey, Jere- miah Gould of Salina, and several others, Overseers of Highways.
COURTS, ETC. - The first Court of Record held within the present limits of the county, was a term of the Herkimer Common Pleas and General Sessions, at "the Meeting House in the town of Whitestown," on the third Tuesday in Jan., 1794. Present-Henry Staring, Judge, and Jedediah San-

Mr. Traey in his lectures states that this term of the Herkimer Common Pleas was held in Judge Sanger's barn. and in the preceding October. A half burnt record in the

[CHAP.
Herkimer County Clerk's Office shows that the above state- ment, as to time, is correct; and as there was no meeting house at that time in the town of Whitestown other than the one in New Hartford (and that in quite an unfinished state), this, with other evidence obtained, is conclusive that the term was held in the New Hartford meeting house. The law authorizing the term provided that the Herkimer County Courts should be held alternately at Herkimer and Whites- town. New Hartford was then in Whitestown, and as Judge Sanger was never "found napping" when any thing for the benefit of his village was at stake, he exerted himself suc- cessfully with Judge Staring and a majority of the bench, and the court was appointed at New Hartford. This term, however, was the only one held in that village, for Whites- boro ever afterwards succeeded in getting it at that place. An anecdote of this first court is thus told by Mr. Tracy :
" A gentleman who attended the court as a spectator. in- formed me that the day was one of those cold ' January days frequent in our climate,' and that in the afternoon, and when it was nearly night, in order to comfort themselves in their by no means very well appointed court room, and to keep the blood at a temperature at which it would continue to circulate, some of the gentlemen of the bar had induced the Sheriff to procure, from a neighboring inn. a jug of spirits. This, it must be remembered, was before the inven- tion of temperance societies. Upon the jug's appearing in court, it was passed around the bar table, and each of the learned counsellors in his turn upraised the elegant vessel, and descanted into his mouth, by the simplest process imaginable, so much as he deemed a sufficient dose of the delicious fluid. While the operation was going on, the dig- nitaries of the bench, who were no doubt suffering quite as much as their brethren of the bar, had a little consultation,
23

when the first Judge announced to the audience that the court saw no reason why they should continue to hold open any longer, and freeze to death, and desired the crier forth- with to adjourn the court. Before, however, this functionary could commence with a single 'Hear ye,' Colonel Colbrath jumped up, catching, as he rose, the jug from the lawyer who was complimenting its contents, and holding it up towards the bench, hastily ejaculated: 'Oh, no, no, no, Judge,- don't adjourn yet ; take a little gin, Judge; that will keep you warm ; 'tant time to adjourn yet ;' and suiting the action to the word, he handed his honor the jug. It appeared there was force in the Sheriff's advice, for the order to adjourn was revoked, and the business went on."
Like terms of the court were doubtless held in the town of Whitestown on the third Tuesday in January, 1795-6-7.
The records in the Clerk's Office of Herkimer County were destroyed by fire in 1804, and it is impossible now to learn particulars of other terms of the courts affecting the inhabitants of Whitestown. From a scrap discovered in our Clerk's Office, it seems that at a term of the General Sessions held at the church in Herkimer on the third Tuesday in January, 1792, Ilugh White, Jedediah Sanger, and Moses Foot, were fined one pound fourteen shillings each for non- attendance as Justices ; and John Allen, Lemuel Bradley, and Smith Miller, were fined one pound four shillings each for like default as petit jurors.
Upon the organization of Oneida County in 1798, the following persons were commissioned to " keep the peace," viz .:- Judges-Jedediah Sanger, Hugh White, James Dean, David Ostrom, George Huntington.

The first Circuit Court in this county was held on the second Tuesday of September, 1798, at " the School House near Fort Stanwix," by Hon. John Lansing, Jr., Chief Jus- tice. The following persons composed the Jury upon the trial of the first civil cause, viz. :- Jotham Wardon, Ben- jamin Case, Allen Risley, Ithiel Hubbard, Caleb Smith, Jr.,, Phineas Kellogg, Andrew Warner, Comfort Lee, George Stewart, Enoch Highy. Elias Merrill, and Peter Sloan. There were but four other causes upon the calendar. Until 1802 the circuits were held at the same place, and subse- quently, alternately with Whitestown. Prior to 1818 but one term was held in a year.
The first Court of Oyer and Terminer in this county was held at "the School House near Fort Stanwix," on the 5th day of June, 1798. Present-Hon. James Kent, Justice of Supreme Court; George Huntington, Judge of Common Pleas; and Thomas Cassety and Elizur Morseley, Assistant Justices.

Stephen Ford and Thomas Converse were fined $5 each for non-attendance. The Grand Jury found no bills of indictment, and but one criminal trial took place, which was that of Sylvia Wood for murder; but the particulars of her conviction will be given in another place.
At the next Oyer and Terminer, on the second Tuesday in September, 1798, the Grand Jury brought in but one bill. In that case the prisoner plead guilty to the charge of steal- ing a yoke of oxen, and was sentenced to the State's Prison for three years. No indictments were found, and no trials were had at the term of 1799. At the term for 1800 there was but one trial, and that was for trespassing upon Indian lands. The prisoner was Major Watson, "a subject of the King of Great Britain," and he was charged with occupying and trespassing upon certain lands "in the township of Oswegatchie (now Ogdensburgh), lying in said County of Oneida," he claiming to hold them under title from the Oswegatchie Indians, contrary to the statute, etc. At the term for 1801 three trials took place: one for murder, in which the prisoner, George Peters, an Indian, was convicted ; one for forgery, in which the prisoner was convicted and sentenced to the State's Prison for life; and one for riot, in which two defendants were convicted, and a fine of one Inin- dred dollars imposed upon one, and ten dollars upon the other.
The first term of the Oneida Common Pleas and General Sessions of the Peace, was held at the School House near Fort Stanwix, on the third Tuesday in May, 1798. Present - Hon. Jedediah Sanger, First Judge ; George Huntington

But one bill of indictment was found, and that for assault and battery, to which the defendant plead guilty, and was fined five dollars, which was ordered to be paid to prosecutor and witnesses.
Messrs. Gold, Kirkland, Breese, Clark, Williams, and Platt were appointed a committee to report a system of rules for the court, and at May term, 1799, they reported twenty-two rules, which were adopted.
But five civil cases were upon the calendar, in all of which judgments were taken by confession.
The first civil cause tried in this court was tried at the September term, 1798. Hon. Hugh White took his seat upon the bench at the last-mentioned term, and Hon. James Dean took his seat in December term, 1799. The County Courts previous to May, 1802, were held at the "School House near Fort Stanwix." The jail at Whitestown having been completed, as appears by a Report of Sheriff Brodhead to the Court at December term, 1801, May term of 1802 was held " at the School House near the jail in Whitestown." Present-Jedediah Sanger, First Judge; David Ostrom, James Dean, Hugh White, Thomas Hart, and Henry Coffeen, Judges; and Amos Wetmore, Needham Maynard, and Jo- seph Jennings, Assistant Justices. During the year 1802 this court was held at Whitestown, and subsequently alter- nately at Rome and Whitestown. The terms were held upon the third Tuesday in May, first Tuesday in September, and last Tuesday in December.
