ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH.

Previous to the war of 1812 the priests from the prov- ince of Canada came at long intervals, it is said, to preach to the Roman Catholics of Champlain, but no mass was ever said in the town until the year 1818, when Father Pierre M. Mignault came from Chambly, and held meetings and had mass for the first time at private houses in Cham- plain, Corbeau (now Coopersville), and at Rouse's Point. The latter place was at that time not a postal town, and the usual name given the locality by the Champlainers was " The Lake-Shore." At this place the mass was celebrated first in the dwelling of Louis Marney. Mr. Mignault came as a missionary. He at that time invited the people to assist in the erection of a house of worship, and that year a small one constructed of hewn timber was built on the left bank of the river at Corbeau, the enterprise being entirely completed under the direction of the zealous Mi- gnault. It was used for several years as a place of worship for the faithful in all the town ; but onc Sunday, after the service was ended and the people dispersed, it took fire from the stove and burned to the ground. It was not long, however, before another house of the same material and of larger dimensions was erected on the site of the old one, and from that time onward stated and periodical services have .

never ceased to be held in town by the church.

No regular and resident pastor was had until the year 1828, when Father Victor Dugas took charge at Corbeau, continuing in such relation in the faithful discharge of his duties for a period of sixteen years, until his death and burial, which occurred at his residence in 1844. He was a worthy man, and his term of service was of longer con- tinuance than that of any of his successors. Father Louis Lapic came from Canada, and took charge of the church at the death of Dugas. His term of service commenced July, 1844. He was commanding and energetic. Under his direction a new stone church edifice was commenced near the site of the old one, now too small to accommodate the crowds of Sunday worshipers. The name given to it was " St. Joseph's Church." Twelve trustees, chosen from various parts of the town, superintended its construction. The edifice is 100 by 50 feet, and will seat 500 or 600 per- sons. The tower is supplied with a bell costing $113. The house was finished the following year, under Lapic's direc- tion, at a cost of $3000. About $1000 in repairs have since been put upon the building. It is by far the largest church edifice in the town. At this time there was but one Roman Catholic parish, and 600 families residing in this and the adjacent towns were embraced in it. Father Lapic continued as parish priest until 1854.

We here give the names of the pastors, together with the years of their office, from the beginning until the present time, namely : Father Pierre M. Mignault, in 1818 and on ; Victor Dugas, from 1828 to 1844 ; Louis Lapic, 1844-54; Louis Labarbauchon, 1856-57 ; Jacob Sasseville, 1857-59; Francis Vancompendhaudt, 1860-61 ; Antoine Boyer, 1862; Father Crovier, 1864-65 ; Peter Legrand, 1865-66 ; Louis Lapic (second term) was priest for six years, when he died,

and was buried in 1873 under the church beside Dugas. Then came D. M. Archambault, of Rouse's Point, who served in 1873-74, until his death ; then Francis Roy, in 1875-76.

ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH.

It was under the auspices of Father Louis Labarbauchon that another church was organized at Rouse's Point, on May 31, 1857, and for its accommodation his successor, Father Sasseville, rallied the people to aid, and beeame instrumental in beginning the erection of a new briek church edifice, the corner-stone of which was laid by the old beloved priest before named, Pierre M. Mignault, June 24, 1858, who forty years previous had the honor of construeting the first Catholic house of worship in Champlain. It was opened for worship September, 1858, before its full completion, and dedicated in November, 1859, by Bishop De Gosbriand, of Vermont. The house and cemetery occupy about 13 acres of land. By donation from several parties the cost of the site was reduced to $300. The house cost $3000, and its capacity is 300 sittings. To it was given the name of " St. Patrick's Church." Its first trustees were William Collopy, Robert Condon, John Myers, John Sweeney, and Ambrose H. David.

The priests of this church, with their years of office, are as follows : Joseph Sasseville, 1858-59 : Francis Vancom- penhaudt, 1859-61 ; O. Lasalle, 1861-66 (resided at Champlain); Louis Lapie (of Coopersville), 1866-69; James R. Seanlon, 1869-71 ; J. H. Carricres (of Cham- plain), 1871-72; L. D. Ferrieres and P. Ladue were his assistants ; D. M. Arehambeault, 1873, until his death, in January, 1875 ; Franeis Poesant, 1875-76.

ST. MARY'S CHURCH.

Meanwhile the Catholies of the village of Champlain and Perry Mills, being numerous and living remote from the houses of worship already built, bestirred themselves and made an effort to procure a house of their own. The effort was successful. Having purchased the old abandoned Methodist meeting-house for the sum of $450, including one-quarter of an aere of land, they enlarged and repaired it at an expense of $3000, placing a $150 bell in the tower. This was in the fall of 1859. On the 3d of August, 1860, the new house was dedicated with much gratification by Bishop De Gosbriand, of Burlington. The edifice is now 70 by 30 feet, will seat 500 persons, and to it is given the name "St. Mary's Church." It stands on Church Street.

The priests of St. Mary's are as follows: Francis Van- compenhaudt, who assisted in procuring the edifice, and left in 1861 ; O. Lasalle, from 1861-69; J. H. Carrieres, 1869 -76. This church has had but two regular pastors, but we also name G. Jeannotte, who was an assistant in the years 1862-66, inelusive, in association with Lasalle.

All these churches used to belong to the diocese of Albany. The new diocese of Ogdensburgh, forined of the counties in Northern New York, was set off from that of Albany and organized in 1872, and in it are now embraced the three Roman Catholic churchics in Champlain. The present bishop is the Right Rev. Edgar P. Wadhams.

PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL.

The Episcopal Church, although the youngest of the exist- ing organized Protestant churches in town, has nevertheless met with considerable prosperity and obtained a strong hold of the sympathy and support of the people. Being less than a quarter of a century old, it is not so difficult to secure a full knowledge of its history, and all, or nearly all, the es- sential facts related thereto in which its members or friends may feel an interest.

It is not remembered that previous to 1852 any Episcopal clergyman ever preached in the town. On April 1st of that year, Rev. Mieajah Townsend, the venerable and long-estab- lished rector of the church in Clarenceville, Canada, offici- ated at the burial of Judge Daniel T. Taylor, at Rouse's Point, who was also interred with Masonie honors. The house of worship used was the union church, then the only church edifiee at the Point. That same year, Rev. Oliver H. Staples visited the town and held service in the chapel of the academy at Champlain on Sabbath, also fortnightly at Perry's Mills, gathering together those who favored a liturgical form of divine worship. It is said that eighteen communicants eame to the first celebration of the Lord's Supper, but we have no means of knowing their names. On the 29th of March, 1853, the corporation was lawfully or- ganized, with Rev. O. H. Staples, Rector ; Senior Warden, Miles Stevenson, M.D .; Junior Warden, William Whyte ; Vestrymen, Titus Perry, D. S. Holeomb, D. Finley, James M. Burroughs, Horatio G. Robbins, James S. Smith, Wil- liam Cressey, and Perrin W. Converse. The name of the first clerk we are unable to give. Of this first corporation Messrs. Smith and Finley are the only ones living who are at present residents of the town.

The corporate existence of the parish dates from April 4, 1853, and the church chose for its name "St. John's." It was first reported in the Journal of the Diocese of New York, for September, 1853, as follows : " Families, 23 ; souls, 90; baptisms, 10; confirmed, 9; marriages, 3; communicants, 24; added anew, 9; removed into the parish, 2; removed out of it, 6 ; present number, 29; Sunday-school teachers, 5 ; divine services, 41 Sundays ; communion, 8 times ; con- tributions for diocesan objeets, $21.09." Services now be- gan to be held in the brick sehool-house erected in 1816, and which has been the cradle of all the Protestant churches in Champlain. Measures were that season taken to build a church edifice. Meanwhile the earnest and aetive rector proceeded to open the way for the establishment of a second parish at Rouse's Point.

It was in November, 1852, that Rev. Mr. Staples held the first service in the village of Rouse's Point, in the stone school-house built in 1824, long sinee turned into a dwell- ing-house. Those leaning towards Episcopacy attended. At the first Supper ten persons partook of the communion, but it is to be regretted that their names are to-day unknown. On Jan. 5, 1853, the males interested met at the school- house and organized "Christ's Church," with Mr. Staples for rector ; William Clark, senior warden ; James Averill, junior warden, and eight vestrymen, whose names were as follows : Nathan F. Webb, Charles B. Wright, Benjamin C. Webster, John Hungerford, Aaron S. Thurber, John B. W. Wright, Charles R. Herrick, and William T. Crook.

HISTORY OF CLINTON COUNTY, NEW YORK.

Of all these gentlemen William T. Crook is now the only living resident. At its first regular meeting, on the 19th of the same month, Aaron S. Thurber was chosen elerk of vestry, and continued thus to serve until his death, Oct. 19, 1869. B. Webster was then also appointed collector and treasurer. The church and vestry, by committee, effected a co-operation with St. John's Church, a call was extended to Rev. Mr. Staples to renew his pastoral eharge, Dec. 1, 1853, and steps were at onee taken to erect a house of wor- ship; which enterprise, however, was not immediately suc- eessful. The church has had a corporate existence since Jan. 12, 1853, and with St. John's Church was received into union with the convention of the diocese of New York, September 28th, the same year, and as then reported stood as follows : " Families, 32; souls, 112; baptisms, 6; confirmed, 4 ; marriages, 2 ; burials, 3; communicants, 12 ; added anew, 3; renewed, 2; died, 1; present number, 12; divine serviee, 41 times; holy communion, 6 times; diocesan contributions, $18.06.

Dr. Miles Stevenson (who was a resident of Chazy ) and James S. Smith, of Champlain, were the first lay delegates to the Diocesan Convention sent by St. John's Church, and were present at New York in September, 1853. The first lay delegate ever sent from the Point to the annual conven- tion was Maj. Charles Blount, U. S. A., who was present to represent Christ's Church at New York City in Septem- ber, 1855. Subsequently, at the primary convention held at Albany, in November, 1868, St. John's Church was rep- resented by David Finley.

Rev. Mr. Staples' rectorship over Christ's Church dates from Dec. 1, 1852, to June 1, 1855, he being reetor also of St. John's Church from November, 1852, to June 1, 1855, and residing at Champlain. It was truthfully said in con- vention by his successor that "Rev. O. H. Staples first planted the good seed in this region." He was assiduous and faithful, and to him belongs the credit of founding the two Episcopal churches in Champlain.

St. John's Parish took the lead in erecting a church edi- fice. In July, 1853, the project was started. The house stands on the left bank of the river, fronting Moore Street ; is built of wood, in the Gothie style, and Robert M. Up- john was the architect. The land cost $340, and the edi- fice $3250. The vestry of Trinity Church, New York City, gave $200 to aid in its construction. It was fitted with a furnace costing $100, a bell costing $400, and a pipe- organ valued at $400, it being the first pipe-organ ever brought into the town. Total cost, $4490. On Thursday, Sept. 14, 1854, the house was eonseerated and set apart for the worship of God by the Rt. Rev. Carlton Chase, bishop of the diocese of New Hampshire. That year at convention there were 29 communicants reported. Mr. Staples resigning Feb. 26, 1855, there was no rector during that summer, and no conventional report ; but Rev. H. A. Coit, missionary at Ellenburgh and Centreville, visited the two parishes, held 12 serviees, baptized some candidates, and ad- ministered the communion. Sept. 28, 1856, Rev. Joseph W. MeIllwaine assumed the charge. He proved an indefatigable laborer, and is remembered only to be prized and loved. During his rectorship, repairs and alterations were made on the church building, adding much to its convenienee. In

1857 the communicants in this parish were 24. In 1858 they numbered 30. In 1859 there were 24, and in 1860 the number reported was 23. That year, on the 16th of November, Mr. McIllwaine resigned his charge.

At Rouse's Point, on Mr. Staples' resignation, Mr. Mc- Illwaine was ealled rector, and took charge in September, 1855. The people resolved to build, and the corner-stone of a new church edifice was laid on a lot purchased of Charles Weeks, on Water Street, by Bishop Horatio Potter, July 30, 1857, and consecrated, Sept. 13, 1860, by the Rt. Rev. Fulford, bishop of Montreal, acting for the Rt. Rev. H. Potter, who was assisted by the rector and eleven other clergymen from various parishes. The land-one acre- cost $500, the building $2500, the pipe-organ $500. Total cost, $3500. The communion service, valued at $100, was procured for the church by the excellent and worthy rector, Rev. Mr. MeIllwaine, a relative of his kindly fur- nishing the sum needed for its purchase

In 1854, Christ's Church had 13 communieants. In 1855-56, no report. In 1857 the number was 23. In 1858 there were 28. The same in 1859 and in 1860.

Rev. William T. Early was rector of both St. John's and Christ Church from Jan. 1, 1861, to Jan. 1, 1862. He performed baptism for 6 persons, marriage for 6 couples, and presented 4 persons for confirmation during the year he was in charge. Mr. Early resided at Rouse's Point.

From April 20, 1862, to Jan. 27, 1865, Rev. John Marvin had the rectorship of both the parishes ; he also resided at Rouse's Point. He was succeeded at Champlain by Rev. Norman W. Camp, D.D., who removed to that place and took charge Nov. 1, 1865, and resigned in Octo- ber, 1866. St. John's Church remained fifteen months without a rector, until Jan. 1, 1868, when Rev. George L. Neide beeame the resident rector, and continued in the charge until Oct. 1, 1869. Meanwhile, Rev. Dr. Camp, on resigning at Champlain, removed to Rouse's Point, taking charge solely of Christ's Church until his resigna- tion, on the 1st of November, 1869.

In the year 1867 repairs and additions were made to the church edifice at the Point amounting in valuc to over $1200, and two years later a memorial window for the venerable bishop of Vermont, Rt. Rev. John H. Hopkins, was put in the rear of the edifice, now having an enlarged capacity of 100 more sittings. During Rev. Dr. Camp's stay in town, he performed baptism for 149 persons, embracing children and adults. Of these, 2 were of Champlain, and 4 resided in Alburgh, Vt. Dr. Camp is remembered as a very earnest, active, and eloquent clergyman. As the number of com- municants belonging to a church is in part the measure of its prosperity, we continue the report of the same for the conventional years as follows : St. John's Church, 1861, 23 communicants ; in 1862 there were 21; in 1863 there were 25 ; in 1864 there were 23; in 1865 the number was not reported. There were in the year 1866, 27 communi- eants; 1867, no report; 1868, 45 communicants ; 1869-70, no report. Christ's Church is given thus: 1861, 28 com- municants; 1862, the same ; 1863, 35; 1864, 32; 1865, no report; 1866, 56; in 1867 there were 110 communi- cants, and in 1868 there were 113 communieants, no report being made for the two following years. The last year of

Rev. Dr. Camp's ministry at the Point he was assisted by John H. Hopkins, then deacon. Joshua N. T. Goss pur- sued his studies under Dr. Camp while at the Point, and has subsequently been made deacon, as also ordained to the priesthood.

On Nov. 15, 1868, a new diocese was formed, com- prising 19 counties in the northern part of the State of New York, including Clinton, and received the name of the diocese of Albany. On the 2d of February, 1869, Rev. William Croswell Doane, S.T.D., was consecrated to the holy office of its first bishop. Christ's Church offered $125 towards endowing the new episcopate, and $20 more for missionary work ; St. John's Church presented $15 for the last-named object. Thenceforward the place of annual convention was more accessible, the bishop nearer at hand, and a new interest seemed attached to the work of the churches.

With the year 1870, February 1st, the Rev. Archdeacon George C. Pennell, S.T.D., began his charge with the two churches in this town. At that date the Clinton County Asso- ciate Mission was formed, the field embracing the six Epis- copal churches existing in Chateaugay, Ellenburgh, Centre- ville, Chazy, Champlain, and Rouse's Point. Over all these parishes, occupying a region forty-five by nine miles in extent, Mr. Pennell and his assistants had a carc. The work was laborious, but the rector brought to the task great energy and an unflagging zeal, combined with excellent talent and rare executive abilities. He was assisted by Rev. Thomas M. Thorp, associate priest, and Rev. Joshua N. T. Goss, deacon and secretary of the mission, in 1870; Rev. Mr. Goss is reported as assistant minister in 1871-72; Rev. Mr. Goss again, 1873-74; and Rev. Mr. Goss, with Rev. Malbone W. Darby and Rev. Theodore A. Snyder, in 1875. Rev. Chas. A. Bragdon was assistant in 1876. Mention should be made also of Rev. Robert S. Locke, who held 79 services during the years 1869 and 1870.

Jan. 1, 1878, the Rev. Irving MeElroy, M.A., of Brooklyn, N. Y., was appointed missionary to Rouse's Point and Champlain, and entered upon his labors Feb. 1, 1878. He has charge of five churches, viz. : Christ Church, Rouse's Point ; St. John's, Champlain ; St. Paul's, Mooer's Forks; St. Luke's, Chazy ; and St. Peter's, at Ellenburgh.

The rector's Ladies' Aid Association, Christ's Church, was organized Easter, 1870. The first officers were Mrs. John Thompson, President; Mrs. John Phillips, Vice- President ; Miss Lettie Erwin, Secretary ; and Miss Acsah Heaton, Treasurer. The rector's Junior Aid Society was organized the same year, with Mrs. Olive Slingsby, Presi- dent, and Miss Lettic Erwin, Aid. At St. John's Church the rector's Ladies' Aid Association was organized Nov. 9, 1870, with Mrs. Forbes, President; Mrs. H. W. Clark, Vice-President ; Miss Lucas, Secretary ; Mrs. G. C. Pen- nell, Treasurer.

WAR OF 1812-MILITARY RECORD,

Champlain, lying upon the border and also upon the shore of the lake, was the scene of many stirring events during the last struggle with Great Britain. " As ever previously," says the Rev. Mr. Taylor, " Champlain, lying in the track of the invading armies, was trampled under the feet of war.

Her people were seriously inconvenienced, her growth re- tarded, and her interests suffered in the strife. As the door of war turned either way upon its hinges, she found her fingers in the crack. Those three years (1812, 1813, and in 1814) were crammed full of stirring incidents. All through these the names of Gen. Henry Dearborn, Joseph Bloomfield, Wade Hampton, James Wilkinson, Fassett W. Izzard, and the brave Col. Forsyth, renowned in war, fig- ured in our history. November, 1812, saw Dearborn with an army of 5000 regulars and militia encamped in their white tents on the lands of Judge Moore ; September, 1813, saw Hampton here with an active army equally as strong ; and twice the next year came Wilkinson and Izzard, with nearly as large a fighting force,-but somehow Canada was never successfully invaded. In August, 1813, the infam- ous Col. Murray, with a fleet and 90 warriors, invaded the lake towns, plundering Burlington, Swanla, Plattsburgh, and Chazy. Our own town did not escape. Armed soldiers set the torch to ten block-houses used as barracks, consum- ing them to ashes, and domineered over our defenseless civilians. Only three months later, in November, 1000 British soldiers took possession of this village (Champlain), and, in retaliation for some petty offense committed by a few American troops, pilfered all the stores, threatened to let loose a horde of Indians upon the town, and spread terror all about for a day and a night. A merciful Provi- dence averted the sacking and burning of the village.

" The brave Forsyth, with 300 men, guarded the town in 1814. He was shot by Capt. Mayhew's Indians on the Odelltown road, and lies buried in the Champlain cemetery, with no stone to mark the spot. Wilkinson was here in 1814. Leading 4000 troops, in March, with 11 pieces of cannon and 100 cavalry, he attacked the British forces at Lacville only to meet with repulse. Izzard took command of 4500 effective soldiers on this vexed frontier. Mean- while a host was gathering at Isle aux Noir with intent to invade the State and capture Albany. Izzard strangely moved south, and Clinton County was left to defend itself. Bravely it was donc. The hour of crisis came swiftly on. It was the turning point in the strife. As Izzard retreated south the advance guard of the British came over the Odell- town road and occupied our village, and the great army of Sir George Provost, 14,000 strong, immediately followed."

The following is a list of the soldiers of 1812 from this town : Ahaz Albee, Charles Bedlow, Joseph Bindon, Abi- jah North, Freeman Nye, Marshall Newton, John Beagle, Peter Beagle, Aurelius Beaumont, Francis Blean, William H. Beaumont, Uriah Bedlow, Jonathan E. Bond, William Blakenay, Josiah Corbin, Dumas Churchill, William J.
