GLENS FALLS QUARTERLY MEETING.
-
The original Saratoga Quarterly Meeting was estab- lished in 1793 and included Saratoga and East Hoosack Monthly Meetings, set off from Nine Partners Quar- terly Meeting. In 1795 the title was changed to Easton Quarterly Meeting. In 1815 the Quarterly Meeting was divided, and the new Saratoga Quarterly Meeting included Saratoga, Galway, and Queensbury Monthly Meetings. In 1878 the name was changed to Glens Falls Quarterly Meeting.
LOCATION OF MEETING-HOUSES.
That of Glens Falls is situated in the central part of the town, on Ridge Street, half a mile from the station, Delaware & Hudson Railroad. Glens Falls is due north from Albany forty-six miles.
Oneida meeting-house is at Oneida, Warren County, five miles north of Glens Falls. The township includ- ing Glens Falls is called Queensbury.
Luzerne meeting-house is on Hudson Hill, one of the foothills of the Adirondacks, near the source of the Hudson River. It is six miles west of Glens Falls and half-way to Luzerne. This is a small meeting, with little likelihood of growth, as the stripping of the timber from the hills bas deprived the people of the means of living, and many of them have already removed to Glens Falls.

FERRISBURG QUARTERLY MEETING,
1809-1896.
91.
FERRISBURG QUARTERLY MEETING.
About the year 1790 Joseph Hoag and his wife re- moved to Charlotte, Vermont. He says :
" We soon obtained liberty to hold a meeting, and in a few years a Preparative Meeting was settled.
" The Lord blessed our labors; many being convinced joined our Society. The increase of young Friends moving in caused meetings to be settled at Peru, Grand Isle, and Lincoln. My wife and myself found it our duty when at home to be faithful in attending our meetings. The first two years we used to walk over four miles twice in the week, spring, summer, and fall. In the winter I used my oxen for a team, starting about sunrise with my whole family. We could get to meet- ing in season and home about sunset. When I became able to purchase a horse and keep it for my wife to ride to meeting I felt rich.
" When we had several settled meetings and others beginning, Friends thought it right to have a Monthly Meeting; so they requested for one and obtained it with Danby annexed."
Friends lived in simplicity in Vermont in those early days. Once settled on farms of their own, each family constructed out of the abundant timber its own rough but comfortable abode. Their milk, butter, eggs, beef, maple sugar, and Indian corn were all home produc-

tions, and their clothing was home-spun. Except for occasional supplies of wheat flour or hardware, they had little need to resort to-the stores.
In 1795 a meeting - was established at Montpelier. Henry Hull, who attended Ferrisburg Monthly Meet - ing at this time, speaks of crossing Lake Champlain in an open canoe to attend Peru Monthly Meeting, which was, he says, a season of sweet communion and mutual refreshment. The old meeting-house stands disused at East Montpelier, Vt., now ; there is another at Lincoln, near Bristol, and a third, more recently vacated, at Char- lotte, Vt., has been sold.
A Quarterly Meeting was established in 1809. It then included Danby, Moncton, and Peru Monthly Meetings, set off from Easton Quarterly Meeting.
LOCATION.
Beautiful for situation are the meetings of this sec- tion. The roads wind about amid green wooded hills, rich pasture-land valleys, and along wild and romantic water courses. The Green Mountains, with Camel's Hump in the background, loom up on the northeast, while along the western horizon lie faintly outlined the opal tinted Adirondacks. The meetings are now all included in the northern part of Addison County. The nearest railroad station to most of these meetings is Bristol, the terminus of a branch, the Bristol Railroad. that connects with the Rutland & Burlington Railroad at New Haven (Vt.) junction.
South Starksboro is northeast from Bristol seven miles ; Monkton Ridge, north from. Bristol eight miles ; Lincoln, the closed meeting, is four and a half miles

FERRISBURG QUARTERLY MEETING.
east of Bristol ; Jerusalem, northeast seven miles, and out beyond it a wedge-shaped "Gore" between two counties, a rich field for mission enterprise ; Montpelier is forty miles east from Bristol, and North Ferrisburg northwest ten miles-this last is a few miles from Ver- gennes station on Rutland & Burlington Railroad ; Charlotte, over the line in Chittenden County, is north of Bristol ten miles and is also accessible from Ver- gennes.
In 1876 to 1878 the only gathering place for the Friends at Moukton Ridge was the so-called town hall, which did duty also as a storage and auction room. The blessing of the Lord rested upon the work then undertaken, a good meeting-house was built, and meet- ing and school have since been maintained in it.
Farnham meeting house is at East Farnham, Province of Quebec, Canada, fifty miles southeast of Montreal and thirty miles east of St. John on the Sorrel River. It is twenty-five miles north of the Vermont border line. It is accessible by taking Central Vermont or Delaware & Hudson Railroad to St. John, changing there to the Canadian Pacific Railroad, and leaving the train at Cowansville, three miles distant from meeting-house ; or coming from Boston by Boston, Canadian Pacific Railroad to East Farnham station direct. This also is three miles from meeting-house.
FERRISBURG QUARTERLY MEETING
is held on Seventh day following the first First day at 11 A.M.

BUTTERNUTS
QUARTERLY MEETING,
1812-1896.
101
BUTTERNUTS QUARTERLY MEETING.
Duanesburg Quarterly Meeting was established in 1812 and included Coeymans, west of Hudson River, Duanesburg, and the Butternuts Monthly Meeting set off from Stanford Quarterly Meeting. In 1838 the name was changed to Butternuts Quarterly Meeting.
In the early days Friends used to ride from the mert- ings in this Quarter over into Pennsylvania, into which . State the latter extended. The Minutes of a Prepara- tive Meeting at Deerfield, Penn., from 1815 to 1844, are still extant. In 1844 the Deerfield Meeting seems to have been laid down.
Joseph Talcott, after having patiently traversed this region over many times in his visits to the scattered flocks, writes plaintively in advancing life in 1829:
"The Quarterly Meeting of which I am now a mem- ber extends from east to west about two hundred and sixty miles, and from north to south one hundred and twenty, embracing about thirty meetings, many of them small and remote from each other. This section of country was a few years ago a vast wilderness, but is now becoming populous, consisting of a larger propor. tion of children and youth, new countries being usually settled mostly with people in younger life."
LOCATION:
The meetings of this Quarter are still scattered over & large area in three different counties of the central part

of Western New York. Butternuts meeting is in the southwestern part of Otsego County. The nearest rail- road station is at Oneonta, on the Delaware & Hudson Railroad, between Schenectady and Binghamton. West Laurens is nine miles northwest of Oneonta, and Morris is four miles west of West Laurens.
The meeting-house at Westmoreland is in the village of that name, four miles south of Rome, in the centre of Oneida County, N. Y. Rome is on the New York Central Railroad. Westmoreland is also one and a half miles easterly from Bartlett and Dix, stations on the New York, Ontario & Western Railroad.
The Smyrna meeting house is in that village, in the northern part of Chenango County, in Central New York. It is on the West Shore Railroad, thirty-five miles south- west of Utica, forty miles southeast of Schenectady.
The house at Brookfield is called York school house. It is in the southeastern corner of Madison County, which is next north of Chenango County, in Central New York. Brookfield is seven miles southeast of North Brookfield on the New York, Ontario & Western Rail- road, twenty-two miles southwest of Utica.
West Branch was the scene of blessed revival seven- teen years ago, which resulted in the reopening of the meeting at that point. Several other meetings and schools soon after sprang up in that vicinity, but have since been discontinued. The meeting-house is in the village of West Branch, in the northern part of Oneida County, thirteen miles northwest of Rome on the New York Central Railroad and its nearest railroad sta- tion.
West Ava is a few miles north of West Branch.

SCIPIO
QUARTERLY MEETING,
1825-1896.
113
SCIPIO QUARTERLY MEETING.
- -
In 1806, after some months of careful deliberation on the subject, Joseph Talcott, who had lived and labored for the Lord at Washington, Dutchess County, for six- teen years, laid before Nine Partners Quarterly Meeting as an apprehension of duty the removal of himself and family to Scipio. A committee of eight Friends was appointed and the subject was weightily considered. With the full approbation and sympathy of his brethren in the Truth, he subsequently sold his farm in Dutchess County, settled his outward affairs to satisfaction, and in the spring of 1807 removed and settled on a small farm in the town of Scipio, in Cayuga County, where a few families of Friends had preceded him and were holding meetings in a log house.
