aloft the shattered useless arm, bade his commmander "good bye," and went away to die. The battery participated in the Weldon Railroad raid, which destroyed that road to the Carolina line. In the winter of 1864, and through the rest of the winter, was most of the time in position on the front line of the investment of Petersburg. In the spring of 1865, Battery H, at the battle on the White Oak Road, Va., March 31, did some very effective practice, inflicting severe loss on the enemy, losing private Elmer E. Babcock killed. and a number of men wound- ed. It this battle the battery fired the last artillery projectile from the line of the 5th corps. In the pursuit of Lee, from Five Forks to Appomattox, the battery did a great deal of hard marching, losing many horses by the excessive hardships of the pursuit.

THE GROWTH OF A CENTURY.
At Appomattox the battery had just gone into position at a gallop, when Lee's flag of truce came in to propose a surrender, and afterwards, proudly down Pennsylvania ave- nue, Washington, D. C., in the grand review, the artillery brigade of the 5th corps made its last march, and finished its work in the salva- tion of our Union.
We recapitulate the numerous engagements in which battery H participated, and was actively engaged in most of them, besides many skirmishes and affairs which were not regarded as pitched battles: Williamsburg.

DR. FRANKLIN B. HOUGH.
THERE is one man, to whom, above all others, the student of history in this northern portion of the State of New York, owes very much. His name can be read above We are fortunate in being able to present his face as he appeared in his middle and more ad- vanced years. Of all the men whom the writer has met in public or private life, Dr. Hough was unique. He had such an air of earnest simplicity and ingrained honesty that made every one give him instant confidence and faith. The more you knew him, the more you saw those traits in him. He was a true man-integrity was his guardian spirit, if we may so speak, and under its protection he made a good fight, and a long one. The family he has left behind him are the best evidence we know of to establish faith in heredity, for his sons are proficients in the same methods pursued by their distinguished father, whose memory they delight to honor.
An unostentatious but somewhat remark- able and wonderfully fruitful literary career was closed on June 11, 1885, by the death of this distinguished man, at his residence in Lowville, Lewis county, N. Y. His work, for 40 years, was of a kind which did not at- . tract much public attention, yet it was well said of him that within that period no citizen of this commonwealth had done so much to- wards preserving the historical records and the statistical history of New York. We, who, to a greater or less extent, are workers and delvers in the same fields of research which possessed such fascination for him, may well stand appalled as we survey the number, variety and permanent value of his achievements in the departments of American local and legal history, of biography and of science.
The subject of our sketch was born at Mar- tinsburg, Lewis county, N. Y., July 20, 1822. His father, Dr. Horatio Gates Hough (born at Meriden, Conn., January 5, 1778), a de- scendent from William Hough, who emigrated
from England in 1640, was the first physician settled in Lewis county, to which he removed about the year 1799, from Southwick, Mass. His mother was Martha Pitcher, born at Westfield, Mass., September 30, 1787, whose ancestors also came from England in 1636. Their children were: (1) Almira,, born in 1804; (2) Martha, born in 1807; (3) Horatio, born in 1809; (4) Franklin B .; and (5) Dema. Of these, it is somewhat noteworthy that three died in the space of five and a half months in the year 1885, viz: Dr. Franklin B., on June 11; Martha, on November 20; and Horatio, on November 27. Almira died September 5, 1887.
The father of this family died when Frank- lin was but 8 years of age, but the mother, a woman of very energetic character, managed to keep the household together and to educate the children. It is said of Franklin that during his early childhood he manifested but little interest in the usual sports and employ ments of boys, and that his time was mostly spent among his books, or in making collec- tions of flowers, minerals and other objects of natural history. In his studies he made rapid progress, and at the age of 14 entered the Lowville Academy, boarding about two miles from the village, and walking to and from school every day. The gentleman with whom he boarded at this time says of him that "it was but a short time before he knew every stone in every stone-pile between Low- ville and Martinsburg."
After a year spent at the Academy, he con- tinued his studies for two years more at the Black River Literary and Religious Institute, at Watertown, and September 1, 1840, he went to Schenectady to enter Union College. Entering the Sophomore class, he was duly graduated A. B. in 1842. During the three years of his college course he attended the spring and autumn terms, ekeing out his ex- penses by teaching district schools at Turin and Martinsburg during the winters. To go

DR. FRANKLIN B. HOUGH.
to Schenectady from his home, at that time, was several days' journey, since he was obliged to go by canal for a part of the way, and ride or walk (as he often did) the remain- der. After graduation from college he taught a while at the academy in Champion, N. Y., then went to Ohio, and taught, as principal, in the Gustavus Academy for two years.
While here he married Maria S. Eggleston, of Champion, N. Y., but her health failing, he returned home for a short period, during which he manifested the bent of his tastes by publishing his first work, a Catalogue of the Plants of Lewis County, N. Y .. issued in 1846, and then entered the Medical College at Cleveland, O., whence he graduated M. D. in 1848. His wife dying, he soon after began the practice of his profession at Somerville, St. Lawrence county, N. Y. Being, how- ever, in some manner drawn to the subject of local history, he found it so much more inter- esting than the practice of medicine that
after four years' experience as a physician he renounced physic in favor of literature. Re- moving, in 1852, to Albany, he began his History of St. Lawrence and Franklin coun- ties, N. Y., and some other works, and while he ever after, during his busy life, kept abreast of his profession, and was always deeply interested in the progress of the medi- cal art, his time was almost wholly occupied in literary, historical and statistical work. His History of Jefferson County appeared in 1854. He removed to Lowville, N. Y., in 1861, which was the place of his home during the rest of his life.
The list of Dr. Hough's works serves to in- dicate, better than words of praise, his tireless industry, his exhaustless enthusiasm in his chosen pursuits, his wide information, and his high scientific attainments. This list shows him also to have been, in his character of author, as well as by birth, pre-eminently a New Yorker. Of his published works, at
326
THE GROWTH OF A CENTURY.
least 50 are devoted to the history, biography, climatology and statistics of his dearly-belov- ed native State.
If not absolutely the pioneer of county his- tories in our State, he was among the very first authors in that line; and though much and valuable work has since been done, none of it has been more accurate in its statement of facts, more complete in its research, or more satisfactory in a literary point of view than his. He began his statistical work as the superintendent of the State census of 1855, the first complete census taken of New York. He was also superintendent of the census of 1865, and was charged with the duty of mak- ing the preparations for the census of 1875, under Secretary Willers.
During the latter part of his life, Dr. Hough became deeply interested in the sub- ject of forestry, serving in the capacity of chief of the forestry division of the United States Bureau of Agriculture for a number of years. In this capacity he visited Europe some years ago, where he studied carefully the methods of the forestry schools of Ger- many and other countries, and upon his re- turn published a series of reports which re- main the most complete and valuable works upon forestry, from the Americann stand- point, in the language. His minor publica- tions on this subject were numerous and all exhibit the trained mind, the careful ob- server, and the conscientious investigator. From his assiduous labors in this direction. he is justly denominated the "Peer of American Forestry." His experience as a resident upon the borders of the Adirondack country led him to believe that there was no necessary antagonism between the lumber men and those who believe in the preserva- tion of the forests.
During the War of the Rebellion, Dr. Hough found ample and appropriate oppor- tunities for the practical exercise of his sani- tary and medical skill in a four months' ser- vice as an inspector of the United States Sanitary Commission, as well as in a nine months' service as surgeon of the 97th New York Volunteers. He also served with abil- ity and zeal in the State Bureau of Military Statistics, in Albany, for a period of fourteen months.
While teaching at Champion, N. Y., in the earlier part of his life, he frequently lectured in public on the subject of temperance, and on this subject, as well as sanitary science, agriculture, vital statistics, climatology,
meteorology, etc., he was ever actively inter- ested; his contributions on these subjeets in local newspapers, periodicals, etc., amounting to over a thousand articles.
His sons, we understand, are carrying on works which he had in hand, and it is to be hoped that they may, in due time, perfect and edit some of the many subjects which he left incomplete, and for which he had collected much material.
Dr. Hough was twice married; July 9, 1845, to Maria S., daughter of Asa Eggleston, of Champion, N. Y. She died June 2, 1848, aged 32. He married, May 16, 1849, Maria E., daughter of Heman Kilham, of Turin, Lewis county, N. Y., who still survives.
To enumerate the many works, even by their titles, of which Dr. Hough was the author, would take up more space than we have at our disposal. The list embraces 78 titles, not including the six volumes of his Abstract of the Laws of New York, which were in manuscript at the time of his death. He was an honorary or active member of 40 scientific and literary societies, many of them foreign, and embracing the most celebrated in the world. The degree of A. B. was con- ferred upon him by Union College, in 1843. and A. M. subsequently. M. D. was confer- red by the Cleveland College in 1848, and Ph. D. by the Regents of the State of New York.
It will thus be seen that in addition to be- ing an able, honest and impartial historian of several of the counties in Northern New York, Dr. Hough was a distinguished writer upon many subjects. He was emphatically a student, with a mind ever open to take in and digest new things, whether in nature, law or science. His industry was his crowning gift, for, with his fertile brain and great powers for observation, his industrious habits made him invincible, and the most elaborate sub- jects were grappled with and easily subdued. As a geologists, botanist or a student of nature, he has never had a superior in this country, perhaps in the world. Great as have been his achievements, and grand as were his gifts, he was like a child in simplicity-gen- tle, of pleasant speech and attractive bearing -a grand, loveable man, upon whom the glamor of riches made no impression, a poor man standing with him upon the same plane as a rich one. Truth was his object, patience and industry his sure means for success, and it may be justly said of him that he did, in- deed, "justify the honors he had gained."

The first election that was held for the election of Member of Assembly was held April 30 and May 1 and 2, a three days' election in each town, and the records show a very light vote. Henry Coffeen was elected

An important change in the Constitution, ratified at the following election, was the selection of a canvassing board to canvass the vote of the county. Up to this time each board of inspectors of the several towns had certified to their votes, and the County Clerk had canvassed the vote and issued his certificate. By the change made, each board of inspectors selected one of its number to represent them on the canvassing board, and they met at the County Clerk's office and chose a chairman to preside, and the County Clerk was ex-officio clerk of the board. The Constitutional Con- vention also changed the time of holding the annual election from April to November, and gave the county three Members of Assembly. The first board of county canvassers for the county was as follows-18 towns. Now we have 22 :
