The first officers were as follows: President, Jesse Wat- son, of Fulton ; Vice-President, C. D. Snell, of Mexico; Recording Secretary, J. N. Betts, of Pulaski ; Correspond- ing Secretary, A. C. Taylor, of New Haven ; Treasurer, J. Wiltse ; Censors, C. T. Greenleaf, of Brewerton, John Wiltse, of Hannibal, and S. Douglas, of Sandy Creek.
The first delegates to the State society were H. L. Baker, of West Amboy, C. D. Snell, of Mexico, and J. B. Chap- man, of South Richmond.
The legislature having passed another act, in May, 1874, designed to elevate the standard of practice in medicine and surgery, this society effected a re-organization in the follow- ing June for the purpose of more fully carrying out the provisions of the new law. The society now numbers sev- enteen members. Its annual meetings are held on the first Tuesday in June, its semi-annual on the first Tuesday in December.
This society, like all other eclectic medical associations, claims to be based on the American ideas of freedom, lib- erty, and equality, rejecting the doctrine that there must be what its members call an "established church in medicine." All physicians are eligible to membership, if found qualified to practice medicine or surgery by the board of censors. Its members are at liberty to extend professional courtesies to or meet in consultation with any reputable physician, whatever his school of practice. They are bound to no set rules, but are free to use any remedies which in their judgment will benefit their patients, and to discard all drngs which they may consider injurious.
The transactions of this society are published yearly, with those of the Eclectic medical society of the State of New York.
The following officers were chosen at the election held June 5, 1877, and are now in office: President, A. C. Taylor, of Scriba; Vice-President, H. W. Leonard, of Camden, Oneida county; Secretary, D. E. Lake, of Ful- ton ; Treasurer, J. Watson, of Fulton ; Censors, E. J. Marsh, of Southwest Oswego, S. W. Miller, of Fulton, J. N. Manwarren, of Mexico.

OSWEGO COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY .- This use- ful association was organized on the first day of February, 1840, with U. P. White, Esq., as president. The first fair was held at Oswego, commencing on the 7th day of Octo- ber of the same year. Its success was such as to induce its repetition, and for fifteen years fairs were held at various points in the county, changing the location each year.
The inconvenience of this migratory existence, however, was more strongly felt every year, as the association became more prosperous, and in 1855 a re-organization was effected with a view to a permanent location, and the society was duly incorporated under the laws of the State. Fourteen acres of ground were purchased near the village of Mexico, and fitted up for the desired purpose. It was determined that the fair should occupy three days, beginning on the 17th day of September in each year, except when that day should come on Sunday. At the time and place then selected the fairs have ever since been held. Grounds have been added and buildings have been erected, from time to time, as increasing prosperity demanded.
The society now owns twenty-seven and one-fourth acres of land, on which are the following buildings: Floral hall, a frame structure in the form of a Greek cross, cach section being a hundred and five feet long by thirty-four feet wide; Agricultural and Mechanical hall, eighty-four feet long by thirty-four wide ; a commodious eating-saloon, besides offices for the secretary and treasurer and for other business pur- poses, stalls and pens for stock, and other fixtures. A fine race-track serves to test the speed of Oswego County's fast horses, and an excellent spring of water conduces to the comfort of the visitors.
The total cost of the improvements has been between seven and eight thousand dollars, besides which the society has a handsome sum in its treasury. The total expendi- ture-since the permanent re-organization of the society- for premiums,.expenses, improvements, etc., has been about thirty thousand dollars.
The following is a list of the presidents, from 1840, in the order of their service: U. P. White, Alvin Bronson, Orville Robinson, William Ingalls, Seth Severence, K. E. Sandford, Benjamin E. Bowen, Bradley Higgins, Andrew Z. McCarty, Jervis W. Dewey, Hamilton Murray, John W. Judson, Hamilton Murray (two years), John N. Holmes (two years), Harvey Palmer, Leonard Ames, Avery W. Severence, Oren R. Earl, Thomas II. Austin, Alvin Law- . rence, Hiram Walker (two years), Luther HI. Conklin, Hiram W. Loomis, Charles S. Cheever, Benjamin G. Rob- bins, Morgan L. Marshall (1868 to 1872 inclusive), John Davis (1873), Albert F. Smith (1874-75), Henry J. Daggett (1876).
The following are the present officers of the society: A. C. Mattoon, of Oswego, president ; L. M. Tyler, of Pulaski,

vice-president; L. H. Conklin, of Mexico, treasurer; H. L. Barton, of Mexico, secretary; Romayne C. Robertson, Washington T. Henderson, William H. Lansing, Seymour C. Davis, Elihu Trowbridge, and R. E. Sill, directors.
Any resident of the county who pays one dollar to the treasurer becomes a stockholder and member for the current year, and a payment of ten dollars constitutes a person a life-member and stockholder. A generous premium-list, amounting to over two thousand dollars (of which near a hundred dollars are set apart for exhibitors under fifteen years of age), stimulates the zeal of exhibitors, and a large attendance at each annual meeting rewards the liberality of the managers.
OSWEGO FALLS AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY .- The old Oswego County agricultural society having been perma- nently located in Mexico in 1855, a large number of citi- zens in the western part of the county were very much dissatisfied with the manner in which that proceeding was accomplished. The next year they accordingly organized an association of their own, to which they gave the old name of the Oswego County Agricultural Society, claiming that the prior organization of the Mexico society was fraud- ulent and void. We have no list of the first officers, but the first fair was held at New Haven in September, 1856.
In 1858, Hon. Joel Turrill was president, and John A. Place was secretary, and the fair was held at Oswego Falls. The first full list of officers we find on the society's books is that of those elected in 1858 for the ensuing year, and was as follows: President, Joel Turrill ; Vice-Presidents, John W. Pratt and Orson Titus; Treasurer, Samuel G. Merriam ; Recording Secretary, J. U. Smith ; Correspond- ing Secretary, R. K. Sanford ; Executive Committee, Charles E. Case, M. S. Kimball, John Reeves ; Finance Committee, John E. Dutton, A. G. Fish, E. Harrison.
Persons residing in the towns of Lysander, Onondaga county, and Ira and Sterling, Cayuga county, were invited to join the society. Thenceforth the fairs were held at Oswego Falls. Legal steps were taken to assert the right of this association to the name of Oswego County Agricul- tural Society, and the consequent emoluments, but it hav- ing been finally concluded that the association which met at Mexico had the first claim to that name, the one now under consideration took the name of Oswego County In- dependent Agricultural Society.
It continued to prosper, and its fairs were attended by large numbers of people from the towns of this and other connties. In 1862 or 1863, finding its name inconve- niently long, it adopted that of Oswego Falls Agricultural Society, which it has ever since borne. On the 29th of April, 1868, an act of incorporation was passed by the legislature, of which the two first and most important sec- tions were as follows :
"SECTION 1. The association heretofore known as the Oswego Falls Agricultural Society is hereby incorporated as an agricultural society, under the corporate name of ' The Oswego Falls Agricultural Society,' and shall consist of such citizens of the towns of Constantia, West Monroe, Hastings, Palermo, New Haven, Scriba, Oswego city ; towns of Oswego, Hannibal, Granby, Schroeppel, and Vol- ney, in the county of Oswego; the towns of Clay and Ly-
sander, in the county of Onondaga ; and the towns of Ira, Sterling, Cato, Conquest, and Victory, in the county of Cayuga, as have heretofore paid at one time, or shall here- after pay to the said corporation, the sum of ten dollars. The payment of said sum by said citizens shall constitute them life-members and stockholders of said corporation, and the owners of any and all property, whether real or personal, of said society. The life-members or stockholders aforesaid shall be the only persons qualified to vote at the annual election of said society, or eligible to hold any office in said corporation; and the object of said corporation shall be to improve the condition of agriculture, horticulture, and the mechanical and household arts.
"SECTION 2. The officers of the society shall consist of a president, two vice-presidents, a secretary, and a treasurer, who shall be elected annually, and hold their offices for one year, and until others shall be elected in their stead; and six trustees, who shall be elected for three years each, as often as vacancies occur in said office of trustee, and shall respectively hold their offices until others are appointed in their stead."
The provisions restricting the voting to those who paid ten dollars each was doubtless intended to prevent any " snap judgments" being taken, by manufacturing voters off-hand, and has admirably succeeded. The fairs are required by law to be held at or near Oswego Falls. The corporation is capable of holding real estate, for the purposes mentioned in the aet, to the amount of fifteen thousand dollars, and personal estate to the amount of five thousand dollars.
Being permitted to reeruit from eighteen prosperous towns and the city of Oswego, the society in question has attained great success, though receiving no aid from the State. About twenty-five acres of land have been purchased and fitted up as a fair-ground, on the pleasant shore of Lake Neahtawanta, near the Oswego Falls depot of the Syracuse and Oswego railroad. The main building, a very commodious and elegant structure, was erected in 1873, at a cost of about seven thousand dollars. It is two stories high, and in the form of a cross ; the length of the sections being respectively one hundred and one hundred and twenty feet. A broad gallery runs entirely around the in- side of the second story, approached by three ample stair- ways; the whole being lighted by a large cupola and nu- merons windows.
The receipts from fairs are from four thousand to six thousand dollars annually, about half of which is distributed in premiums, and the rest used for necessary expenditures. The following is a list of the presidents, except in the two first years, as to which the records are defective : Joel Turrill, 1858-60 ; Messrs. Orson Titus, C. G. Case, and F. D. Wagenen served for brief periods in 1860, after the death of Mr. Turrill; A. G. Fish, 1861-62; Gardner Wood, 1863-64; Robert Oliver, 1865; John H. Mann, 1866; Robert Oliver, 1867-68; John H. Mann, 1869-71; O. Henderson, 1871-76; H. H. Merriam, 1877.
The following are the present officers : President, H H. Merriam, Oswego Falls ; Vice-Presidents, B. Doolittle, Oswego; W. Johnson, Fulton ; Secretary, Amos Youmans, Fulton ; Treasurer, Charles R. Nichols, Fulton ; Trustees

THE SANDY CREEK, RICHLAND, ORWELL, AND BOYLS- TON AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY .- Notwithstanding its top- heavy name, this is a very energetic institution. It was organized in the year 1858, its constitution admitting to its privileges the inhabitants of the four towns named in its title, and also of that part of Ellisburgh, Jefferson county, lying south of the road which runs from the line of Lor- raine to the town-bridge at Ellis village, and thence down the creek to the lake. The payment of one dollar by resi- dents within these limits constitutes a person a member for the current year.
The following were the first officers of the society : Presi- dent, Oren R. Earl; Vice-President, Horace Scripture ; Secretary, E. H. Sargent ; Assistant Secretary, W. W. Alton; Treasurer, Pitt M. Newton ; General Superintend- ent, Minot A. Pruyn.
During its twenty years of existence the society has met with continued and most gratifying success. The grounds on which fairs are held in September of each year are situ- ated at the village of Sandy Creek, and after successive additions now comprise twenty-five acres, with the neces- sary buildings for the purposes of the society. The follow- ing is a list of the officers for the present year, 1877 : President, Elhanan C. Seeley ; Vice- President, Newton B. Mann ; Secretary, Gilbert N. Harding; Treasurer, Albert E. Sherman ; General Superintendent, Edmund H. Sar- gent ; Directors, Simon Pruyn, Alexander Potter, Thomas Lamb, O.S. Potter, George S. Buell, William G. Hitchcock.
As an evidence of the success mentioned, it need only be said that notwithstanding the " hard times," the receipts of the fair last year, 1876, were larger than on any previous occasion. The managers have disbursed the amounts thus received with liberality and discretion, and a large pre- mium-list is yearly offered, covering all the products of the farm, from matched horses to matchless babies.

It is a hundred and seventy feet long by a hundred feet deep. The greater part of the building is occupied by a drill-room, seventy feet by a hundred and seventy, and extending to the roof. In front of this the lower story is occupied by separate rooms for each of several companies; the second story by other company rooms, and by regimental and brigade head- quarters ; the third story by the separate troop of cavalry.
The arms and uniforms of the men are kept in their re- spective company rooms. Remington breech-loading rifles with bayonets are the weapons of the infantry ; sabres and Remington carbines those of the cavalry. Numerons prizes are displayed in various rooms, attesting the prowess of Oswego County men in rifle shooting within the past few years. Two of these were first prizes presented by the State for victories won by the Forty-eighth Regiment over all the other regiments of the Sixth division in 1875 and 1876. Two others were the third prize, won at Creedmoor in a State contest in 1875, and the second prize similarly obtained in 1876. There are also trophies snatched from Canadian rivals, and one obtained by the cavalrymen in a contest at Syracuse.

STATE officers from Oswego County are as follows : Henry Fitzhugh, of Oswego city, was elected canal commissioner in November, 1851, for three years, and re-elected in 1854, serving until December 31, 1857.
Andrew H. Calhoun, of Oswego city, was appointed canal appraiser by the governor and senate, July 1, 1850, and served until April 5, 1855.
William F. Allen, then of New York, but previously and subsequently of Oswego, was elected State comptroller in November, 1867, and held office from January 1, 1868, till June, 1870, when he was elected judge of the court of appeals.
John Cochrane, formerly a resident of Oswego, served as attorney-general in 1864 and 1865.
Court of Appeals and Supreme Court .- Previous to the constitution of 1847, there had been no supreme court or circuit judges from Oswego County. Under that constitu- tion Oswego County was united with Jefferson, Lewis, Her- kimer, Oneida, and Onondaga, to form the fifth judicial district, and elected four justices of the supreme court,-one to be chosen every two years, and those first elected to draw for terms.
In June, 1847, William F. Allen, of Oswego city, was elected, and drew an eight-ycars' term. In 1855 he was re-elected, and served till December 31, 1863.
Henry A. Foster, of Oneida county (ex-congressman and ex-United States senator), was elected in his place, and soon afterwards removed to Oswego, where he lived throughout his term of office, which expired December 31, 1871, and where he still resides.
By the judiciary amendment to the constitution, adopted in 1869, a new court of appeals of seven members was pro- vided for, the judges to hold fourteen years.
William F. Allen, of Oswego, was elected one of the first judges of the new court in May, 1870, and still holds that office.
Members of Congress .- By an act of the legislature passed in April, 1822, Oswego County was made a part of the twentieth congressional district, which also embraced Jef- ferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties, and elected two members of Congress. Previous to this the sections east and west of the Oswego river had been joined in represen- tation respectively with Oncida and Onondaga counties, and no member had been a resident of the present territory of Oswego County. At the election in 1824, Egbert Ten Eyck, of Jefferson county, received one of the certificates, but on contest his seat was awarded, in December, 1825, to General Daniel Hugunin, of Oswego, who held till March, 1827. He was succeeded by Rudolph Bunner, of Oswego, in the Congress of 1827-29.
George Fisher, of Oswego, received a certificate for next
term (1829-31), but his scat, on contest, was awarded in December, 1829, to Silas Wright, Jr., of St. Lawrence, who, however, declined to accept it, and another St. Lawrence county man was elected the next spring. There was no one from Oswego County in the Congress of 1831-33.

The representatives have been as follows :
Orville Robinson, of Mexico, 1843-45; William J. Hough, of Madison county, 1845-47 ; William Duer, of Os- wego, 1847-49 ; re-elected for 1849-51 ; Leander Babcock, of Oswego, 1851-53; Gerrit Smith, of Madison county, 1853-54; resigned November, 1854; Henry C.
