FIRST BAPTIST.

This is another church which had its origin in Kingsboro, where in 1799 a Baptist society was organized with Rev. William Throop as pastor. The membership in 1800 was forty-four. Mr. Thronp's successor was Rev. J. Lathrop, who was pastor for six years between 1812 and 1827. The places of meeting were "Coon's" and " McDougal's " school-houses. The church is said to have been disrupted by the anti-masonic sentiments of the pastor.

In 1838 Rev. Erastus Miner formed a branch church of the Pleasant Valley society, at Gloversville. In January, 1839, the church voted itselt independent, and in the following June was so recognized by the Saratoga Association of Baptist churches. There were nineteen constituent mem- bers, some of whom are to this day pillars in the church. By September 18, 1839, a neat and comfortable house of worship had been built, and on that day it was dedicated. The cost was $3,200 This building is now used for business purposes, and known as Fox's block. The present sal. stantial and commodious church was dedicated January 22, 1857. It wist $16,000. The society has now a harmonious and prosperous membership of over 600. It bas enjoyed the services of the following pastors : FtoM 1839 to 1854, David Corwin ; 1855-9, Isaac Westcott ; 1859, Stephen Remington ; 1859-67, Conant Sawyer ; 1867-8, Charles Y. Swan ; 1869 ;; George Cooper ; 1873 to the present, C. N. Pattengill.

The Sabbath-school was organized in March, 1839. A. S. Leaton w .. the first superintendent ; Charles P. Brockway is the present incumbent The number of scholars is 561. The first sewing society in the region wa. organized to aid in furnishing this church. It still continues in a thurt ishing condition, having for many years supported a native Kaern mister7- ary in Burmah, and latterly given substantial encouragement and ant to young men studying for the ministry and engaged in other benevolent et. terprises.

CONGREGATIONAL.

The Congregational church of Gloversville is still another of-shoot from a Kingshoro society. Jan. 21, 1852, seventy-eight persons asked to: ' ' ters of dismission from the Presbyterian church at that place for the ; ? pose of forming one at Gloversville. July 2, the Congregational chevr. Gloversville was organized with Charles Mills, HI. Seth Smith, F \ ] and E. I .. Burton, deacons. The first pastor, Rev. Homer N. D began his ministry unmediately. By a revival in the autumn of 1855. . than fifty converts were added to the church. In December, 1 ! Danning resigned, and in May of the following year, Rev Charles J H

The church edifice was built in 1852. It is of brick, 47 by 88 feet, with a conference room 47 by 36. Its cost was. $10,000. The membership is 300, against 266 in 1857. The present deacons are : W'm. Demarest, Dan- iel S. Tarr, A. Judson, and I. V. Place. The Sabbath-school was organized with the church. Elisha Burton was the first superintendent, holding the office until his death. G. M. Ballentine is now superintendent.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN.

The first Presbyterian church was organized Aug. 6, 1864, the mem- bers having previously worshiped with the Congregationalists of the village, and the Presbyterians of Kingsboro. Fourteen persons withdrew from the former body, and nine from the latter to form the new society, and were joined by three each from the Presbyterian churches of Johnstown and Mayfield, and four from other places, and one joined on profession of faith, making thirty-four members, who held their meetings in the hall in the rear of the Washburn property. Rev. J. A. Priest, the first pastor, conducted the services in this place until May 22, 1866, when the present ch h edi- fice was dedicated. Although it cost $36,000, such was the liberality of the members that it was entirely paid for before dedication. It seats about six hundred persons. The church has always been prosperous, and has now a membership of about 375.

The first pastor, Mr. Priest, held his position from 1864 to 1868. Rev. M. L. P. Hill, from Little Falls, was installed in June, 1868, and resigned in November, 1870. Rev. A. S. Walker, the present incumbent, began his pastorate with the first Sabbath in July, 1871. The Sunday-school was organized immediately after the church. W. J. Heacock has been super- intendent since that time.

ST. MARY'S ROMAN CATHOLIC.

This society purchased, in an unfinished state, its present church on Pine street, in 1874. Father Gillem, the first pastor, only held that relation for a short time. Rev. W. Kempen succeeded him, and procured the com- pletion of the church. He resigned in April, 1876, and a year .ater the present pastor, Rev. Michael Killeen, took charge of the society. The at- tendance at church is about 230.

SCHOOLS.

The first school-house in Gloversville was built of slabs in 1800. It stond in Broad street, near its intersection with Fulton. It was removed. about 1811, to a spot on the grounds of James Burr, opposite the site of the Alvord House. In 1854. a second school-house was built of brick on the northwest corner of Main and Fulton streets. It was a commodious building, and was used until 1836, when it gave way to a business block. The third school-house was a two-story wooden building, on the north side of Fulton street, at the corner of School street. It is now used as a glove factory.

In 1854 the Union Seminary was built, at an expense of $21.000. It had M cominodations for sixty boarders and two hundred other pupils.

At a meeting held at the school-house of District No. 16, Feb. 25, 1868, It was voted-169 to 33 -- to change the system of the village schools, by combining them into a graded whool. At a meeting in the same place. March 2, J. H. Seymour, J. S. Heacock and Seymour Sexton, were elected trustees for three years ; U. M. Place, P. R. Furbeck and E. Leavenworth, for two years, and Daniel Hays, W. H. Place and W. A. Kasson, for one year. U. M. Place was subsequently elected president, and P. R. Fur- beck clerk of the Board of Education. In the latter part of 1868, the seminary building was purchased for $16,000 for the purposes of the pro- posed graded school. By 1874 this building had proved too small, and in that year another was built, at the southeast corner of the first, at a cost of $10,000. The popularity of this school has been shown from the first, by the constant and increasing attendance. Mr. H. A. Pratt has been prin- cipal from the beginning. The other teachers are : Mrs. M. A. Kelley,

Alfarata Clute, Miss G. Merriam, Emma C. West, Louisa Jackson, 1. Agnes Merriam, Lomsa Noyes, Miss A. A. Lansing, Miss F. Carroll, Maggie Davidson, Miss O. A. Chase, Miss M. M.

JOURNALISM IN GLOVERSVILLE.

The Gloversville Standard, the first newspaper published in the village, was started in December, 1856, by W. H. Case. In March, 1860, A. Pier- son took control of the paper, but retained it only until January, 1861. when George W. Heaton purchased the concern. J. R. Arrow smith shortly became associated with Mr. Heaton in the management, and at the death of the latter became sole proprietor. The paper became an exponent of the Liberal Republican principles in 1872, and remained such until June, 1875, when it was sold to Hervey Ross, the present proprietor, who pul- lishes it as a Democratic journal.

The Gloversville Intelligencer was started in January, 1867, by Charles H. Kelly, a native of North Carolina, assisted by citizens of the village. It was a folio sheet, with a six-column 24 by 36 inch page. In politics it was independent, and so continued under Mr. Kelly's supervision for the first six months of its history. The office was in a small upper room of the two- story wooden building 133 Main street. This room contained the entire material of the business, including the hand-press on which the paper was at first printed. July 27, 1867, the establishment was purchased by Geo M. Thompson, a native of Ticonderoga. By him the paper was consider- ably enlarged and made a pronounced Republican sheet. Under Mr Thompson's management it became the leading Republican journal of the county in circulation and influence. In 1877 The Intelligencer, together with The Fulton County Republican, of Johnstown, passed into the hands of Capron & Ward, as already mentioned.

The Gloversville Advertiser, a small penny sheet, begun in March, 1873. by A. S. Bottsford, was published as a daily for thirty-four days, when it was changed to a weekly, and issued by Bottsford and J. H. Burich for 1 short time, when Burtch became sole proprietor, and continued its publica- tion until about July 1, 1875, when it was discontinued. It was revived. however, after the lapse of two years, and is now published by Burtch & Peake.

Amos S. Bottsford, long a prominent figure in Gloversville journalism, was born in Hartwick, Otsego Co., N. Y., August 25, 1824. When about twelve years of age, his parents having died, he went to Cherry Valles. and became employed by his uncle, Charles MeLean, who was then editur of The Cherry Valley Garette, and postmaster of that place. Here young Bottsford applied himself assiduously to learning the printer's art, which he followed in the same office for ten years, when, in January, 1846. Mr. Me Lean having been elected county clerk, Mr. Bottsford, at the age of 22. was installed as editor and publisher of the Gazette, which he continued to publish, with varying success, until 1865. The Gazette material was then taken by Mr. Bottsford to Hoosick Falls, Rensselaer county, where he pub- lished the Independent; but there was not enough patronage to give the paper a healthy support, and he returned to Cherry Valley in July, 1866. and resumed the publication of The Cherry Valley Gazette. Early in 1805 he removed from Cherry Valley to Gloversville, where he established The Gloversville Democrat, a weekly journal, which he conducted with marked aluhty, being rewarded with a liberal patronage, not only from Democrats the county comprised only a handful of Democrats at that time , but from the other party also. At the end of the fourth year of the Democrats existence, Mr. Bottsford was induced to start a daily in connection with ins weekly publication. The daily was a large quarto, 28x42, and was ably conducted, but the people were not educated up to the point of support- ing such a costly enterprise, and it was abandoned in about two months. The weekly, however, was continued several months longer, when that, too, suspended for want of sufficient patronage. Mr. Bottsford, after his retire- ment from the Advertiser, became an attache of The Gloversville Standar.i. While in this position he contracted a severe cold, and took to his bed. Ilis malady developed into Bright's disease of the kidneys, and after a hngering

and painful illness he died June 23, 1875, aged 52 years; his remains were interred in the Cherry Valley Cemetery. He was a genial, large-hearted man, a thorough practical printer, a witty, versatile writer, and " a Democrat at all times, and under all circumstances."

The Century was established in February, 1876, by C. J. Johnston, but continued only five weeks.

The Gloversville Times was started in" October, 1876, by Halleck & Sinclair, but in five weeks it was merged in The Standard, passing into the hands of Hervey Ross.
