Oswego recovered slowly from the effects of the war, and its commercial transactions were com- paratively unimportant until the opening of the Oswego and Welland Canals.8 In the mean time

Six grain warehouses on the harbor elevate and discharge in the same way. The other mills, located above, elevate from and discharge into canal boats. The elevating capacity on the harbor is 37.500 bushels per hour, and the storage room over 2,000,000 bushels of grain,-rendering Oswego the lest receiving port on the lakes.


" This factory was founded by a stock company, with a capital of $50.000 : and. under the supervision of Thos. Kingsford & Sons, ita capital has been increased to $450,000. and its main block of buildings have grown to the enormous dimensions of 510 feet front by 250 feet deep. with numerons detached buildings and an extensive box factory. The main establishment works up 500,000 bushels of grain (mostly corn) and makes 12,000.000 pounds of starch per annum. Large quantities of the article are sold and used in London. Liverpool, and the principal cities on the continent of Europe. It gives employment to 200 men. 3 See page 519.


5 In 1804 all commercial transactions were carried on with unrestrictedl freedom. No ship papers, licenses, reports, or oaths were required, the keen-scented custom house officers not having yet smelt out the commerce of the lakes.


6 The British loss in the action was abont 200, and the Ame- rican 60. The British carried off several of the prominent citi- zens, and kept them prisoners until they were duly discharged. Among the prisoners were Alvin Bronson, Abraham Ingimin, and Eli Stevens.

8 In 1918, 10 years before the Oswego Canal was completed, 36.000 barrels of Onondaga salt were received at Oswego. of which 26.000 barrels went to Western States by the portages round Niagara Falls. At that period the price of salt at Oswego was $2.50 per barrel, and the cost of transportation from Salina, by Oswego, to Black Rock $1.41 per barrel. In 1856 there were received at Oswego 700.000 barrels, of which over 500,000 went

shipbuilding became a leading pursuit of the people. In 1816, steam navigation was first intro- dueed on Lake Ontario, and its great progress since has been of immense importance to Oswego. In 1829-30, Alvin Bronson and T. S. Morgan ereeted the first flouring mill. In 1828 the Oswege Canal was finished, and in 1830 the Welland Canal was opened, giving a new impulse to trade and opening to thic place an almost boundless commerce in the future. With the advantages of natural position and the stimulus of the lines of internal improvement, both the commerce and manufactures of Oswego have increased in an almost unprecedented manner ; and there is every reason to believe that this increase is to continue for many years to come.


OSWEGO (town)-was formed from Hannibal, April 20, 1818. A part of Granby was annexed May 20, 1836. It lies upon the shore of Lake Ontario, on the w. side of the river. Its surface is generally rolling, ending in a bluff shore upon the lake. The streams are the Eight Mile, Riee, Snake, and Minetto Crecks. A fall in Oswego River within the limits of this town affords an abundance of water-power. The underlying rock is principally red sandstone, and the soil a gravelly loam. Boulders and water-worn pebbles are scattered over the surface, making it very stony in places. Minetto,1 (p. v., ) situated on Oswego River, 4 mi. from the city, contains 150 inhabitants. South West Oswego is a p. o. The first settlement was made in 1797, by Asa Rice, from Conn. Reuben Pixley came in 1800, and Daniel Burt in 1802.2 There are now in the town 2 churches ; M. E. and Bap.


PALERMO-was formed from Volney, April 4, 1832. It is an interior town, lying just s. w. of the center of the co. Its surface is undulating. The large swamp in the E. part of the town is 57 feet above Oneida Lake, and the ridges are about 25 feet above the swamp. The streams are Scotts and Fish Creeks. The soil is generally a sandy loam. Lumber and the products of wood are the principal manufactured products of the town.3 Palermo, (p.v.,) situated near the center of the town, and Vermillion (p.v.) cach contains 1 church and about 15 dwellings. The first settlement was made in 1806, by David Jennings, Simeon Crandall, and Sylvanus Hop- kins." The first settled preacher was Rev. Asaph Graves. There are now 4 churches in town.5


PARISHIS-was formed from Mexico, March 20, 1828. It is an interior town, a little s. E. of the center of the co. Its surface is undulating, but considerably brokeu by ravines, and in some parts rough and stony. The streams arc Salmon Creek and its branches. The valley in the w. part is 246 feet above Lake Ontario, and the E. summits are 25 to 50 fect higher. The soil con- sists of clay, sand, and gravel, and is moderately fertile. Less than half of the town is under culti- vation. There are 12 sawmills, 4 shingle factories, and other manufacturing establishments in town. Parishville, (Parish p.o.,) on Salmon Creek, in the w. part, contains 1 church and 34 houses. The first settlement was made in 1804, by Thomas Nutting, Eliada Orton, Jonathan Bedell, Amos Williams, and Rev. Gamaliel Barnes.7 There are 2 churches in town; M. E. and Bap.


REDFIELD-was taken from Mexico, as part of Oneida co., March 14, 1800.8 It is the N. E. corner town of the co. Its surface is hilly in the s., but in the N. it spreads out into a high, roll- ing plateau 800 to 1,000 feet above tide. A wide intervale extends along the course of Salmon River, which stream drains nearly the whole town. The underlying rock is gray limestone, and the soil upon it is generally a thin and moderately fertile gravelly loam. The soil of the intervale is a deep, sandy loam of good quality. The greater part of the town is still unsettled, and the uplands are frosty and forbidding regions. Center Square, (Redfield p. o., ) situated on Salmon River, in the s. part of the town, contains 2 churches and about 30 houses. Greenborough is a p. o. in the N. w. part. The settlement of the town was commenced in 1798, by immigrants mostly from Conn.º The first church (Cong.) was organized with 19 members in 1802, by Rev. Joshua Johnson. There are now 2 churches in the town; Cong. and M. E.

The springs are perpetual, and rather inerease than diminish in summer; so that tho power furnished is abundant and constant. The mouth of Salmon River furnishes a good harbor. The underlying roek is the Lorraine shales; the soil is a sandy loam, with some elay in the s. w. part, and is generally fertile. Pulaski, (p.v.,) on Salmon River, about 3 mi. from its mouth, is the half shire of the eo. and was ineorp. April 26, 1832.
