and the capture of the entire force of Patriots.
Railroads .- The first means of public conveyance in the county was the old stage - coach line from Canandaigua to Buffalo, and in 1816 a second line was established from the first named place by the way of the Ridge road, Lewiston, and Niagara Falls to Buffalo. These lines were kept running as late as 1850, and the second line was met at Wright's Corners by a wagon with mail and passengers from Lock- port. In 1828 "The Pioneer Line" was established in opposition to the second line, but did not run on Sunday, and went down in two years.
The Erie canal and its packet lines took most of the travel from the stage lines, and they both surrendered nearly all of their patronage to the railroads when they came. The first railroad in the county was the Lockport and Niagara road, which was commenced in 1835, and abandoned in 1850. In 1836 the Buffalo and Niagara Falls rail- road was commenced, and by 1844 was completed. In 1850 the Rochester, Lock- port and Niagara Falls railroad was begun, and on May 7, 1853, was consolidated with other roads to form the New York Central. The Lockport and Tonawanda branch was built in 1852, and the Canandaigua and Niagara Falls railroad was constructed dur- ing the same year.
The Suspension Bridge and Erie Junction branch of the Erie railway, from Buffalo to Suspension Bridge, was constructed in 1870 and 1871. In 1852 the Niagara Falls and Lake Ontario road was begun, and shortly after its completion in 1855 was abandoned. The Lake Ontario Shore railroad was pro- jected, and the first passenger train ran over its western section on June 12, 1876.

OF NIAGARA COUNTY.
It was built at a cost of $20,000 dollars per mile. In 1876 the Lockport and Buffalo railroad was projected and was partly finished to Tonawanda in 1878. At Tona- wanda, in addition to the Central and Erie roads, are the Grand Trunk, West Shore, and Lackawanna railways, while the Buffalo, Lackawanna & Pacific road will soon be built to connect the Lackawanna and Can- ada Pacific lines.
The Civil War .- When the Stars and Stripes were lowered on Sumter's storm- battled walls and Lincoln's call for 75,000 men was issued, Niagara county responded immediately with hundreds of soldiers, many of whom fell in the forefront of some of the hottest battles of the war. The memories of these fallen heroes are well cherished, and to them Collins' lines fitly apply, when he says :
" By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung ; There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay ; And Freedom shall awhile repair To dwell, a weeping hermit, there."
Public meetings were held all over the county, and such was the spirit of patriot- ism that in seven days five companies were organized under Captains Cook, Bush, Mapes, Page, and Gould. These five com- panies became a part of the 28th New York volunteers. This regiment did duty in Virginia and Maryland, took part in the battle of Cedar Mountain, where it distin- guished itself by a daring charge and some hard fighting. Its bravery at Antietam was acknowledged in general orders. Its last battle was at Chancellorsville, where it lost seventy-eight men. In May, 1863, it returned to New York, where it was mus- tered out of the service.
We give the following list of the companies and soldiers of Niagara county in the 28tl regiment, taken from printed lists, which we presume are correct in the main :
