THE BURNING OF THE "SIR ROBERT PEEL."

On the night between the 29th and 30th of May, 1838, the British steamship Sir Robert Peel was plundered and burned at the upper end of Wellesley island, while taking in wood, by a party of twenty-two self-styled " patriots," led by one Bill Johnston. After driving the passengers ashore and plundering the boat, the brigands cast her off from the shore and set her on fire. Large rewards were offered for the apprehension of any of those engaged in the nefarious undertaking, and although several of the partics were ar- rested, none of them were at the time' convicted. A con- siderable amount of international inquiry was instituted, and one man was subsequently executed at Kingston for the incendiarism.

ROCK ISLAND LIGHT,

opposite the mouth of Mullet creek, was erected as one of the three beacons authorized in the St. Lawrence by the act of March 3, 1853. Bill Johnston was appointed keeper of this light, which shines near the spot where the Sir Robert Peel was burned.

LA FARGEVILLE.

The point first selected as the site of a village in Orleans was Rixford's Corners, which is situated two miles south of the present village. It was named after Sabin Rixford, who settled there in 1817. A store was erected at the " Corners" in 1818 by one Morton, and a distillery and an ashery were established there prior to 1820. In 1825 the store was burned, and the town records were likewise destroyed. The early town-meetings were held at this store, and the general business of the inhabitants of the town was transacted there. But now the smiling grain grows and ripens where once the embryo village stood, and the activity that at one time characterized the spot is known there no more.

The first settlement at La Fargeville was made without title by Dr. Reuben Andrus, of Vermont, who in 1819 erected a log mill on Catfish creek, within the present limits of the village. From this the place acquired the name of " Log Mills," which it long retained. On the occasion of a Fourth of July celebration in 1823, a resolution was passed giving the place its present name of La Fargeville, in honor of John La Farge, the proprietor of the site.

THE FIRST LOG HOUSE

in the village was erected by Dr. Andrus, in 1819, and was quite a primitive affair. The first frame house was built by Horace Cook, in 1823. The first store was kept by Wood- bridge C. George, in 1820, and business gradually centered at this point. The same year that the store was opened

Alvah Goodwin erected a plain log tavern, which did good service for a number of years.

THE FIRST GRIST-MILL

that can rightly be considered as such was erected for La Farge, by William Larrabe, about 1825. It is still standing, and is a venerable landmark of " ye olden time." It has two run of stone (as at first), and is now owned by R. T. Jerome, Jr.

The next important feature in the development of the place was the

FIRST SCHOOL-HOUSE,

which was erected in 1821. Among those now remem- bered who attended this primitive "temple of learning" were Emory Nash, three of Peter Cook's children, three of Dr. Andrus', and some of the Townsends. In 1837 the

FIRST CHURCH EDIFICE

was erected, by Colonel Wright, of Depauville, for the Bap- tist society, which still stands, a monument to the dura- bility and antiquated architecture of the past.

The village has improved gradually. In 1850 it contained, according to the census of Mr. Rottiers, fifty dwellings, sixty-one families, and 312 inhabitants. It now contains two general stores, kept respectively by Russell B. Biddle- com and D. J. Dewey ; two drug- and grocery-stores, by Lucius and Byron Stow and G. Marshall ; a tavern, billiard- saloon, tailor-shop, three blacksmithies, one wagon-shop, one grist- and one saw-mill. It has four churches, namely, Baptist, Methodist Episcopal, Protestant Methodist, and Catholic, and an Episcopalian society, which contemplates the erection of a house of worship the ensuing year (1878). There are two resident physicians, two lawyers, and three ministers.

La Fargeville is on the Utica and Black River railroad, 18 miles from Watertown, and 17 from Clayton. It has a depot, express- and telegraph-offices, is a post-village, and has a population fairly estimated at 375.

Attempts, attended with but indifferent success, have been made at La Fargeville to establish educational institu- tions other than the common schools, notably the

ORLEANS ACADEMY.

The project of establishing an academy first began to be discussed in August, 1850, on the 12th of which month a meeting was convened at the Baptist church in La Farge- ville, several plans were proposed, and a room was tempo- rarily fitted up for a school, Mr. Burton B. Townsend being the first teacher. In the summer of 1851 a wooden build- ing, 50 by 70 feet, and two stories high, was commenced and partly finished, when, on July 16, 1851, it was blown down in a gale, but rebuilt the same season. It stands on a lot of one acre, and is now used by the Methodists as a house of worship. It cost about $2500 in subscriptions of $10 each.

An application to the regents was made Jan. 27, 1852, and on Feb. 5 a charter was granted, allowing the school to share in the literature fund upon freeing itself from debt and acquiring an estate of not less than $2500. The trus- tees first named were Lewis T. Ford, Loren Bushnell, John

Dillenback, John Hill, Henry Erwin, Russell B. Biddlecom, Nathan Elmer, Ash- ley Tanner, James Green, Rufus Smithi, Parley Brown, and David Joy. The trustees never reported, we believe, or became entitled to a share of the literature fund. The academy, after a long struggle to free itself from debt, and owing to the meagre support extended to it, passed into private hands by sale on execution; and, finally, it was pur- chased by the Methodist Episcopal society, and converted into a house of worship, and is now owned and used by them as such. No school was held in the building subse- quent to 1855.

THE LA FARGE MANSION.

In 1838 the mansion and farm of Mr. La Farge, one mile south of La Fargeville, was purchased by Bishop Du- bois, and a Catholic seminary, named "St. Vincent de Paul," was opened under Rev. Francis Guth and several assistants. It was designed to combine in this a theological seminary for the education of priests, and a classical boarding-school, -the more advanced candidates for holy orders serving as teachers during part of the time. Most of the boarders came from New York, and very few only being from the vicinity ; but, after a trial of two and a half years, it was found that its location was too remote, and Bishop Hughes, who succeeded Dubois, removed it to the vicinity of New York, where St. John's College (Fordham) was founded soon after. The greatest number of scholars at La Farge- ville was fifteen, and that of persons more or less employed in teaching nearly as many. The old mansion is now oceu- pied by Michael J. Hughes, a nephew of the bishop, as a farm-house.

LA FARGEVILLE LODGE, NO. 171, F. & A. M.,

was chartered June 21, 1850, with the following officers : John C. Young, W. M .; James Green, S. W .; Allen Dean, J. W. It was at first known as " Stone Mills Lodge," and was located at that village until February, 1867, when it was moved to La Fargeville, and the name changed by the Grand Lodge, as above. The present officers of the lodge are: B. J. Strough, W. M .; R. Soucks, S. W .; W. C. Hill, J. W. The present membership is 67. The hall in which the lodge meets is owned by B. J. and L. S. Strough.

OMAR

is pleasantly situated on Mullet creek, one and a half miles from its mouth. It was formerly named from the stream, afterwards " Mudge's Mills," and since the establishment of a post-office in 1842, by its present name, Omar, being taken, it is said, from the personage of Dr. Johnson's alle- gorical tale in the English Reader. The first settlement in the vicinity was by William Tanner, about 1818, and in 1820 William and Treat Mudge erected the first grist- and saw-mill, a primitive affair, but sufficient for the require- ments of the time. For several years the place contained nothing else, and in 1837 embraced but six buildings. The first store was opened under the copartnership of Truesdell &

Stackhouse, in 1841. They also erected an ashery the same ycar. The present grist-mill was erected by Samuel Newton. It is now owned and operated by Dewey & Rood. On the present site of the saw-mill erected by the Mudges in 1820 stands a saw-mill built by Samuel Stackhouse and Samuel Newton. This is operated by Dewey & Rood. In 1841, Messrs. Samuel N. Stackhouse and Samuel P. Newton erected the lower saw-mill, and later Samuel Stackhouse built the one on the east side of the ereek.

Among the oldest inhabitants now residing in and near the village are Ralph Gurnee, Esq., Timothy R. Stackhouse, Samuel P. Newton, John W. Collins, Otis N. Brittin, and others.

THE POST-OFFICE

was established May 17, 1840, and T. R. Stackhouse ap- pointed the first postmaster. The present incumbent is James C. Lee, who, besides being the only merchant in the place, officiates also as the telegraph-operator.

The first district school was taught by Miss Kate Stack- house. There are now six common schools taught within a radius of three miles of the village. The first and only church building was erected by Truesdell & Stackhouse, Samuel Newton, and Samuel Stackhouse, in 1841.

Omar now contains one extensive general store, a tavern, one grist-mill, three saw-mills, two shingle-machines, two blacksmithies, two wagon-shops, one cabinet-shop, a tele- graph-office, post-office, a public school, and a Methodist Episcopal church. It has a population of 100.

STONE MILLS

is a sınall village, which was formerly called Collins' Mills, from the Collins family, that settled there at an early day. They are descendants of William Collins, who was a soldier in the war of 1776, of whom we shall write more fully in the military history of the county. Stone Mills is included in Penet's Square, and settlements were made by squatters in its vicinity as early as 1806. The first of these was Roderick C. Frasier. In 1807 Peter Pratt made the see- ond location, and soon after, Benajah and Merchant Carter, Samuel and David Ellis, Robert Bruner, and others, some of whom, during the war of 1812, removed to denser set- tlements.

In 1813 a young man was taken up in the neighborhood on the suspicion that he was a spy, and on his attempting to escape was shot and mortally wounded, when he confessed that he was a deserter from Sacket's Harbor. About 1820 a small stone grist-mill was built by J. B. Collins and Peter Pratt, which suggested the present name of the place. A plat of one acre was here surveyed by De Rham to the town, for the site of public buildings, upon which, in 1838, a fine stone school house was erected (which still remains), and the year previous a Union church building, also of stone.

Stone Mills now contains one general store, blacksmith- and wagon-shops, a saw-mill and a grist-mill, two churches (Lutheran and Protestant Methodist), a public school and a select school, taught very successfully by Miss Nellie F. Everest, a post-office, and about 75 inhabitants.

ORLEANS FOUR CORNERS

containing a post-office, and a conglomerate of a few dwell- ings.

RELIGIOUS.

Quite a lively interest was manifested in religious matters at an early day, in Orleans. Several church organizations were formed which do not now exist, notably the "First Presbyterian Church," which was organized at La Fargeville in February, 1823, by the Rev. Wm. Bliss. Worship was first had in the old school-house at what was then Rixford's Corners. April 29, 1839, a society was formed, with John- son Mason, Abram I. Smith, Thomas E. Drake, Amasa Johnson, and Robert T. Jerome, as trustees. In 1840 a church edifice was erected, at a cost of about $3000. De- cember 30, 1848, the society adopted the accommodation plan, and became a united Congregational and Presbyterian body. In 1854-55 a Union society was formed by Elders Gregg, Perrine, and Taft, and most of the members of the old Presbyterian church, with many of other denominations, joined that movement. This society ceased to exist about 1861, and the church building remained unoccupied until it passed into the possession of the Protestant Methodists, by whom it is now occupied.

THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF LA FARGEVILLE

was formed at the house of Thomas Evans, Sept. 9, 1821, by Elder Sardis, assisted by Elders Timothy Brewster and Emory Osgood, who were casually present. The original members were Thomas Evans, Warren Wilson, Benjamin Ward, Thomas Barrett, Reuben Hungerford, Benjamin Farmer, Phineas Osborn, Nathan Elmer, Daniel C. Hamley, Lucy Wilson, Ruth Hungerford, Mercy Evans, Sophia Elmer, Patty Burtwell, Lucy Elmer, Deborah Burtwell, Betsy Childs, and Susannah Rhodes. The first deacons werc B. B. Sheldon, - Noyes, and Thomas Evans. The first regular pastor was Elder Geary.

The following, copied from the records, lays down the rules and regulations of the church :

" New rules we do not mean to make, The Bible rules we mean to take, And so by these our ' Seriptural' erced In Bible truths we are agreed."

The pastors following Elder Geary have been Elder Stettson, a young man, the first minister ordained by the church, who preached acceptably, and had good success in a revival. He afterwards returned to college, and, during a fit of temporary insanity, committed suicide. Elder Knapp, who subsequently developed into a great revivalist, was the next pastor over this church. Then Elders Brown, Ford, Warner, Clark, Recd, Sawyer, Dye, Ward, Weed, Wilder, Byrne, Bates, Blount, and the present incumbent, D. S. Mulhern.

The " First Baptist Society" was formed June 11, 1836, with Francis Eppes, Abijalı Fisher, Charles Sexton, Joseph Marshall, and Orlando W. Cushman, trustees. A church edifice was erected at La Fargeville, in 1837, during the pastorate of Elder Ford. The dedicatory sermon was preached by Elder Larned, of Hamilton. It is of wood, and cost $3200. Its present value is $5000. That of the parsonage, $1000. The present membership is 51; dea-

cons, Volney Barden and Malvin Tanner ; trustees, Levi Soucks, Robert Smith, and Lewis Vincent. The Sabbath - school has a membership of 80 scholars and 12 teachers. The superintendent is D. J. Dewey. Both church and Sabbath-school are in a prosperous condition.

THE FRANKEAN EVANGELICAL LUTHERANS.

In the year 1838, the synod of the Frankean Evangeli - cal Lutheran church sent the Rev. Henry L. Dox as their missionary, to select any portion of Jefferson County as his field of labor as he might think most likely to yield the peaceful fruits of righteousness in return for his labors. Acting under this commission, he located at Perch River and Stone Mills. He was but a youth, and ruddy, but God wrought most astonishing. changes through his ministry. Churches were soon organized at Perch River and Stone Mills. On May 15, 1840, a church was formed at Orleans Four Corners, and at about the same time one at Stone Mills and Perch River. The two last named were blended into one, by mutual agreement, May 23, 1840, and 60 members were enrolled as constituting the church at Stone Mills. On Nov. 13, 1852, a church was organized at Perchi River, consisting of 32 members, leaving 66 rc- maining at Stone Mills. Mr. Dox also preached with great success at Shantyville (now Orleans Four Corners), and organized a church, as above stated, of 33 members.

The list of pastors over these churches comprises the following names : Revs. Henry L. Dox, Geo. W. Hemperly, Geo. W. Porter, Geo. W. Hemperly (from 1844 to 1851, second time), Fayette Shepard, M. W. Empie, M. Graves, William H. Shellard, O. D. S. Marcley, Nellis Klock. A church cdifice of stone was erected at Stone Mills, on the union plan, and one at Perch River about the same time. And a church was also built at Orleans Four Corners, by the Lutherans exclusively, at a cost of $1250. The present church officers of the Orleans Four Corners' church are Reuben Zimmerman, Grandison C. Zimmerman, and Geo. W. Vancoughant, deacons ; Benjamin D. Edmonds, Geo. House, and Alexander Ford, trustees. The present mem- bership is 87; teachers and scholars in the Sunday-school, 30 ; superintendent, Reuben Zimmerman. The deacons of the Stone Mills church are Leonard Dean and Henry Lin- genfelter. Membership, 20; Sunday-school scholars, 25 ; superintendent, Sylvester Green.

THE M. E. CHURCH OF LA FARGEVILLE.

All that can be learned of the history of the Methodist Episcopal church of La Fargeville is contained in the sub- joined, which we obtain from the pastor, Rev. Daniel Marvin, Jr. :

" The M. E. church remodeled its house of worship in 1872-73, through the patient and laborious work of Rev. W. P. Hall, its pas- tor. The societies at Omar and 'the Block' united with that at La Fargeville and formed a eircuit. Sinee 1852 the pastors have been Revs. G. W. Elwood, J. P. Jennings, H. M. Church, J. De Larme, William Empey, W. Merrifield, W. Y. Smedley, F. Dewitt, E. E. Hall, O. Witters, W. P. Hall, Josiah Fletcher, and Daniel Mar- vin, Jr., present incumbent. The church edifiee, as remodeled, was rededicated in 1873, Rev. D. D. Gore, D.D., of Syracuse, preaching the sermon on the occasion."

The present membership of the circuit is 92; proba- tioners, 12; scholars in Sunday-school, La Fargeville, 60 ;

THE FIRST METHODIST PROTESTANT CHURCH

of Orleans was organized at La Fargeville in May, 1869. The names of the constituent members were Daniel Eddy, Mary Eddy, Gotleib Bents, H. Singer Nash, Helena Nash, Valvert Fox, Roby Fox, John Hunter, Malvina Fox, Nettie Fox, Daniel Miller, Jacob Getman, Jacob Snell, Jason Eddy, Maggie Eddy, Sophia E. Graham, Eleanor Graham, Ade- laide Nash, Kate Nash, Ebenezer Gardner, Ella Sloat, and Frank Shaw.

The society oeeupied the Union ehureh, and their first pastor was Rev. Philip Swift ; then Lansing Snell, who was followed by George D. Ellis, T. B. Dodd, and then the present ineumbent, Rev. Charles Kidrig. In 1872 the society purehased the Union ehureh building, which is a good, substantial frame structure, 48 by 34 feet, with a bell, and worth about $2500. It will comfortably seat about 250 persons. A neat parsonage has been sinee ereeted, which was first oeeupied in 1875. It is valued at $1500, including the lot. The present membership of the ehureh is about 40, and Mr. Daniel Eddy, one of its promi- nent members (to whom we are indebted for the above faets), reports the society in a generally flourishing eondi- tion.

" THE THOUSAND ISLANDS PARK."

This name has been given to a traet of land at the upper end of Wellesley (or Wells) island, in the St. Lawrence river, between the villages of Clayton and Alexandria Bay, and embracing about a thousand aeres. Several hundred aeres are regularly laid out in the form of a village, which has a post office and several publie buildings and residenees, though but few of them are oeeupied except in the sum- mer, when also hundreds of tents or temporary residenees are ereeted for a summer watering-plaee. It is divided into. several hundred lots, which are permanently leased, or sold to owners, subjeet to eertain regulations specified in the leases, which are designed to seeure eo-operation and good order, so as to afford to the residents and visitors the advantages of spending the warm season in this salubrious and delight- ful elimate. It is the eustom also to hold in this place dur- ing every summer a series of meetings of a religious, seien- tifie, and literary eharaeter, so as to blend instruction and recreation with the business that would naturally grow out of the assenibling of a large population. Several institu- tions of a similar eharaeter exist in various parts of tlie country, the oldest of which is on Martha's Vineyard, an island on the coast of Massachusetts.

The Thousand Islands Park is under the charge of an incorporated body, ealled "The Thousand Islands Camp- meeting Association," who have made it a study to eom- bine all the possible advantages of such an enterprise, and to avoid sueh mistakes as experienee had exposed in some previous efforts of the kind. In 1874, Rev. J. F. Dayan, of Watertown, devoted mueh time and attention to the advaneing of this enterprise, and in response to his urgent request a company of gentlemen formed themselves into an

organization, and obtained incorporation as above men- tioned. The first board of trustees, eleeted in January, 1875, consisted of the following persons : Rev. E. O. Haven, LL.D., of Syracuse, president ; Hon. Willard Ives, of Watertown, viee-president ; Rev. J. F. Dayan, of Water- town, secretary ; J. F. Moffett, of Watertown, treasurer ; E. Remington, of Ilion, Rev. D. D. Love, D.D., of Syra- euse, Rev. E. C. Curtis, of Syraeuse, Rev. M. D. Kinney, of Watertown, Hon. A. D. Shaw, of Toronto, Canada, and Hon. James Johnson, of Clayton. The board in 1877 eon- sisted of the same persons, except that Rev. Fred. Wid- mer was elected in place of James Johnson, and that Rev. D. D. Love had deeeased.

After exploring the Thousand Islands region the spot which was unanimously preferred to all others was the mag- nifieent plateau now ealled " The Thousand Islands Park." Elevated, well covered with trees, dry, and receiving direetly from a wide sweep over the waters the prevailing west winds, it is cool and comfortable in the warmest weather, and from the greater part of the whole thousand aeres a elear view of the river may be seen. In the rear of the park the land rises to an eminenee of 150 feet above the water, in a beau- tiful hill which has received the appropriate name of Sun- rise Mountain. It is proposed to surmount this with a tower, from which altogether the best panoramie view of the Thousand Isles will be visible. The, avenues and streets are broad; none of the lots are less than 40 by 80 feet in dimensions. Deep water comes to the shore, so that the largest steamers ean land at its wharf. One of the finest doeks, with a convenient store-house, has been built, with a long line of boat-houses, surmounted with a promenade roof, all making a picturesque appearance, and happily blending the beautiful with the useful. A large dining- hall, which is really a hotel, a smaller hall of the kind, a trustees' offiee, a general store, book-store, with various other buildings belonging to the association, give an air of solidity to the place, while seattered promiseuously over the broad territory are various cottages-some small and primitive, others large and ornamented-which, with the tabernaele, where the publie meetings are held, presents in the summer season a picture not likely to be soon forgotten by any who see it. Many thousands of people visit the place every summer, and hundreds of families are there all the time from July to September.

Much wisdom is required to manage such an institution so as to seeure the best results. It is of prime importanee that the laws of healthi should be obeyed. This subjeet has received careful attention here. The grounds are natu- rally well drained. The water, whether from the St. Law- renee or from wells, is pure. Every precaution is taken to seeure eleanliness and salubrity. The air is invigorating, and experience has demonstrated that it is one of the most healthful watering-places in the world.
