The old man gave the boy the first chance ; so the latter marched hurriedly up within about twenty rods and fired ; but the excitement was too much for his youthful nerves, and the bullet went wide of the mark. The father reloaded, and the next time the youngster went up within twelve rods and fired, with the same result. This wouldn't do ; so the old gentleman again loaded the rifle, took deliberate aim at the angry brute, fired and killed her. Then the dog began barking at a tree, on which a cub was discovered, and another shot from Orrin Stowell's rifle brought him lifeless to the ground.
Then still another cub started up, and started to take shelter in the underbrush. But in the mean time Samuel Stowell had come up and let loose his dog. One dog seized the poor cub by the ear and one by the haunch, but he was quite a match for them both. As they rolled over together, growling and fighting, the blows of Samnel Stowell's club fell oftenest on the dogs, and they let go. One of them, however, seized hold again, and then both cub and dog fell into a deep hole in the creek, where they continued the fight, sometimes one being under water and sometimes the other. The bear's nose was the vulnerable point to be struck at. The boy got the first chance at it, and the animal fell stunned by the side of the creek. The cutting of his throat completed the combat. Similar scenes frequently took place in various parts of the town, except that the number of the victims was less.
About 1838 a small tannery was built at Orwell Corners, and a new incentive was given to clear the ground of its hemlocks. A stronger motive, however, was found in the fact that when those rough hill-sides were onee subdued, and the too-plentiful stones placed in walls or piles, excel- lent grazing-land was found beneath that unpromising exterior.
It was not until 1843 that a church edifice was built in town, when a union house of worship was erected at the Corners by the citizens, devoted to the use of all denomi- nations. This was followed about 1850 by a Methodist church at Pekin, which by that time some of the people called Molino, a post-office of that name having been estab- lished there ten years or more before.
By this time Orwell Corners had become quite a flour- ishing village, the Chateaugay road was thickly settled, and the Voree region was reclaimed from the wilderness. In 1854 the tannery was rebuilt on a large scale by Weston & Lewis, who had purchased it, and thenceforth it em- ployed directly and indirectly a large number of men, and brought very considerable sums of money into the town.
When the rebellion broke out the sons of Orwell re- sponded generously to their country's call, as will be seen by the long roll of those who crowded the ranks of the Twenty-fourth, One Hundred and Tenth, and One Hun- dred and Forty-seventh Infantry, the Twenty-fourth Cavalry, and other corps.
In October, 1864, the town voted seven thousand eight hundred dollars to pay bounties to the soldiers. All the volunteers were, of course, discharged the next year, and most of them returned to the labors of the farm and the workshop. If their military experience had disposed them to use the hunter's rifle, they needed not to look far for a proper field. Not only were the forests of Lewis county near at hand, but the bears still strayed occasionally among the cultivated fields of Orwell.
" Pa," exclaimed the little daughter of Colonel G. F. Woodbury, a well-known resident of the village of Orwell, one summer Sunday of 1871,-"pa, there was a bear just went through our garden !"
" Nonsense, child ; it was only a big black dog."
"No, it wasn't ; it was a bear. It didn't jump over the fence like a dog; it just scrambled right over."
The colonel stepped to the door, but saw nothing, and

felt sure the child was mistaken. A short time afterwards a lady in the village saw a big black animal waddling along back of her house, and hastily concluding that it was a bear started out to inform a neighbor ; but before reaching his honse she began to think she might be mistaken, and, un- willing to run the risk of ridicule, she returned home. But the next day the unmistakable Bruin was seen by many persons still stumbling around the purlieus of the village. A few men hastily called out some shepherd dogs to attack the intruder, but they could not be got anywhere near within reach of those formidable paws. As soon as possible men rallied with guns and hounds ; but by this time bruin had taken the alarm and set off at his best speed for the big woods. His pursuers followed for several miles, but failed to get sight of him again.
But this was an extraordinary occurrence, and not likely to happen again at the village, though the quadrupeds in question are still sometimes seen in the eastern part of the town. Meanwhile it is plain that the cows are beating the bears,-no less than five large cheese-factories attesting the value of the stone-walled pastures of Orwell. One of these is at Orwell village, owned by Albert Thompson, one at Pekin, by - Snell, one on the Chateaugay road, by Jas. Hilton, one at Voree, by John Stowell, and one near the Richland line, by Dwight Mckinney. It is doubtful if another town in the State, of no larger population, has as many cheese-factories.
At Orwell village, or Orwell Corners, as it is more com- monly called, a bright little place of some four hundred inhabitants, the handsome white houses of which gleam out on heavily-shaded streets, are to be found, besides the cheese-factory just mentioned, the following manufacturing and mercantile establishments and professional men :
The tannery of Lane, Pierce & Co., of Boston, which is capable of turning out five hundred hides per week, or twenty-five thousand per year. It employs about twenty- five hands directly, besides the bark-men. This is the same establishment, before mentioned, which was rebuilt by More- ton & Lewis in 1854, it having been sold by them to the present proprietors in 1874. Planing-mill, etc., of Stowell & Latimer ; saw-mill of W. Henderson; dry-goods and grocery store of G. F. Woodbury ; grist-mill of W. F. King; feed-store of E. S. Beecher. George W. Nelson, M.D., physician and surgeon ; D. A. Lawton, M.D., phy- sician and surgeon.
Outside of the village there are, as an Irishman would say, no business houses but cheese-factories and saw-mills. The former have been mentioned; of the latter there are the large one of Post & Henderson, on Salmon river, above the falls; the steam saw-mills of William Beecher & Gridley, north of the Chateaugay road ; those of Hiram Snow & Vaudry, north of Voree; also the mill of George Caster, on the Sandy Creek road, and of A. G. Stowell, on the Boylston road.
A history of Orwell would be incomplete without a more full description than we have yet given of one of the great natural curiosities of the State,-Salmon river falls. That they are not as celebrated as might be expected is due partly to their secluded locality, and partly to the fact that in the summer, when it is most convenient to reach them, Salmon
river is usually so low that its water, at the falls, does not extend half-way across the chasm. But at the time of high water, in spring, autumn, and early summer, there are few more interesting spectacles in the whole range of natural phenomena.
A ride of three miles east from Richland Station, on the Rome and Watertown railroad, takes the traveler to Orwell village, and three miles more to the southeastward, on one of the roads to Redfield, brings him to the vicinity of the cataract. On his right he sees the outline of a great chasm dropping down between walls of hemlocks, and marking the course of Salinon river. Presently the roar of many waters strikes upon his ear; the road approaches close to the river-bank ; he alights, pushes his way through a fringe of evergreens, and stands face to face with the cataract. A dozen rods in front of him the river, two hundred feet wide and six feet deep, plunges over an almost perpen- dicular precipice the measured distance of one hundred and eight feet. On either side of the abyss into which it falls rises a wall of earth and slate, also nearly perpendicular, extending almost a hundred feet above the top of the fall, or two hundred above the bottom. The tops of both banks are covered with hemlocks and other evergreens, the dark foliage of which forms a fitting frame for this great natural picture. Twenty rods below the cataract the river rushes through a narrow gorge not more than a hundred feet wide, the walls of which are still nearer the perpendicular, beyond which eye loses sight of it as it pursues its devious way towards Lake Ontario. It soon leaves the limits of Orwell, and we ean only dwell there long enough to present a few statistics.
THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF ORWELL.
This church was organized on the 13th day of March, 1858, under the pastorate of the Rev. Jacob R. Shipherd ; being composed of members of the previous Presbyterian church, which was formed in 1809. The latter was very feeble, and had no regular supply of ministers until Decem- ber, 1845. The Presbyterian pastors from that time until the organization of the Congregational church were Messrs. Wilson, Wheelock, and Webb.
The first members of the Congregational church were Frances Beadle, B. Maria Beadle, Orpha Burkitt, Malinda Groat, David Hollis, Laura Hollis, Jane Potter, Elon Sto- well, Abigail Stowell, Selinda Stowell, Temperance A. Sto- well, Cornelius Acker, and Ruth Acker. The first officers were Rev. J. R. Shipherd, pastor, Elon Stowell and David Hollis, deacons. The pastors since Mr. Shipherd have been Rev. Messrs. Cutter, Bates, Decker, Crosby, and Greeley ; the last, Rev. Frank N. Greeley, being the present minis- ter. Their efforts have been blessed with marked success, especially during the past winter of 1876-77, when an earnest revival took place, by which the membership was raised from the previous number of about twenty to no less than eighty-five. The present deacons are Jas. F. Davis, David Hollis, and C. Mckinney ; the present clerk is A. M. Campbell.
ORWELL CIRCUIT OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHI. This circuit consists of five classes : one at Orwell village,
302
HISTORY OF OSWEGO COUNTY, NEW YORK.
one at Chateaugay, one at Pekin, one on Salınon river, near the line of Albion, and one in Albion. The existence of the circuit dates back to a very early period, when the Methodist ministers rode from one little log school-house to another, usually in advance of all others, but the records are not to be found.
The first record is in 1852, when Samuel Salisbury was acting as pastor. He was followed, in 1853, by M. H. Gay- lord ; in 1854, by H. M. Church, and in 1855, by G. W. Ellwood. P. H. Miles officiated in 1856-57; S. B. Whit- comb in 1858-59; J. N. Brown in 1860-61; Joseph de Larme in 1862-63; J. S. George in 1864-65 ; S. F. Ken- yon in 1867 ; F. Devitt in 1868-69; L. Kelsey in 1870- 72; L. R. Grant in 1873-74; J. R. Crofoot in 1875-77.
There are now one hundred and fifty members in the whole circuit, of which about one hundred and twenty-five are in Orwell. At Orwell village the church meets in the union house of worship. At Pekin a small Methodist church was erected about 1850. The other meeting-places are in school-houses. The present officers are Rev. J. R. Crofoot, pastor; stewards, William Hollis, D. A. Lawton, Allen Bass, D. D. West, Ralph Pratt, Edward Near, Jabez Clark, N. Hamblin.
Each station on the circuit has a Sunday-school, with an aggregate of two hundred and seventy scholars. The Sunday-school at Orwell village, however, is a union school, with fifteen teachers, about eighty pupils, and one hundred and fourteen volumes in the library. Mrs. James Davis is the superintendent.
The house of worship at that point is also a " union" house, built, as has before been stated, in 1843. The cost was one thousand nine hundred and sixty-three dollars ; the size is thirty-six feet by fifty-two. It was dedieated in February, 1845, by Rev. Messrs. Robinson and Mattison.
Besides the churches above named, there is a elass at Chateaugay, and another at Voree, belonging to the Boyls- ton and Orwell circuit of the Methodist Protestant church ; the majority of the members of the circuit being in Boylston.
ORWELL LODGE, NO. 54, I. O. G. T.

Platt, Mrs. Ira S. Platt, Orville Mareness, John A. Hollis, Mrs. A. M. Hollis, Mrs. Giles E. Martin, John Parker, Celia M. Beecher, Mary Hollis, Frank A. Beecher, Mary E. Vary.
We are unable to give the first officers, but the list of them must have corresponded very closely with the roll of members.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
JAMES J. MONTAGUE
was born in Orwell, February 2, 1836. His father, Nathan F. Montague, was a native of Vermont, and his mother of Connecticut. They settled in Orwell in 1826, on the farm now occupied by H. H. Potter, and lived there up to 1855, when they moved on to the farm now occupied and owned by their son, the subject of this sketch. The father lost his life by an accident in 1859. The mother has been deranged for nearly thirty years, and has been cared for by her son for the last eighteen years.
Mr. Montague was first married in 1862, February 1, to Mary D. King. Three children were the result of this mar- riage, two of whom died in infancy. A daughter, Georgi- anna, is the only one surviving. Mrs. Montagne died October 14, 1871, and Mr. Montague was again married January 1, 1873, to Mrs. Martha M. Vannier, sister of his first wife, and the mother of two children, Mrs. Mary E. Lewis and Herbert M. Vannier. A daughter, Edith, was the result of the latter marriage. After the death of his father Mr. Montagne took the farm, and in 1874 built the house in which he now lives. His "milk and cream" honse is a model of its kind, and no one can boast better butter than Mr. Montague.
To within two years Mr. Montague has aeted with the Democratie party, but having become satisfied that temper- ance is the only live political issue before the country, he has from that time voted with the Prohibition party. For ten years he has been an active member in the Methodist Episcopal church. Though his township was strongly Re- publican, he was elected to the office of assessor for one term of three years. Mr. Montague is a thorough farmer, a good citizen, and deservedly enjoys the esteem of all who know him.
HON. JOHN PARKER.
The subject of this sketch was born in the town of Steuben, Oneida county, New York, December 27, 1810. Ilis father, John Parker, and mother, whose maiden name was Louisa Frisby, were natives of Columbia county, New York. The mother died in Steuben in 1823. They had seven children, of whom Mr. Parker is the only one sur- viving. The father died September, 1843. Mr. Parker was married March 15, 1831, to Polly E. Bonner. Nine children were born to them, six sons and three daughters, of whom five sons and one daughter are now living. The eldest, Charles H., is a resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The second, Horace, is a farmer in Orwell. The third and fourth, De Witt and Lorin B., the former a resident of Wisconsin, the latter of Minnesota. The only surviving
daughter, Mary Alice, married William C. Hollis, who was killed at the second battle of Bull Run. She married for her second husband John Church, and is now living in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Mr. Parker moved to Orwell, Oswego County, June 7, 1834, and settled on twenty-two acres situated one mile and a half northeast of Orwell, which he purchased of W. C. Pierpont at seven dollars per acre, giving his note for twenty-two dollars for first payment. Ile worked at jobs, chopping and clearing lands. Scarcely a farm in the neigh- borhood he has not helped to clear. IIe relates that while at work for John E. Potter at five shillings per day, the latter, with another hand and himself, logged six acres in five days and a half. By his industry, coupled with un- tiring energy, from small beginnings Mr. Parker is now the possessor of near three hundred aeres of land. At the present time he is living on his farm, situated about sixty rods west of Orwell. Ilis home, a sketch of which is published in this work, is one of the pleasantest in the town. Mrs. Parker died November 18, 1873, and on March 11 of the following year Mr. Parker married Mrs. Maria Loring, whose maiden name was Davis. She was born in Steuben county, New York, and removed to Ovid, Branch county, Michigan. Mr. Parker is a Republican in politics, and was prominent in the organization of the party in the county. Ile voted for Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, and left the party upon the enactment of the fugitive slave law. He was elected assessor of the township in 1840, and has served in that capacity seven years, as highway commissioner four years, and as overseer of the poor two years. He was elected twice to the assembly, in 1865 and 1869, serving in the years 1866 and 1870. All positions of public trust to which Mr. Parker has been called he has filled to the entire acceptance of his constitu- ents. His four sons and son-in-law served during the war, the latter, as before stated, losing his life. Mr. Parker states that eight men who had at different times worked for him were either killed or died in the army. It may be here stated that Mr. Parker's grandfather was killed in the Revolutionary war, and that his father served in the war of 1812. Mr. Parker, though not a member of any church, has always contributed liberally to their support. He is a marked example of a self-made man, working his way from a poor boy, with slight advantages of early edu- cation, to the ocenpancy of positions of high public trust.
S. C. DAVIS
was born in Steuben, Oneida county, New York, December 22, 1822, the youngest of twelve children of Colonel Icha- bod and Mary F. Davis. From the time he was seven to the twenty-third year of his age he lived with his eldest sister, Mrs. Lorin Bushnell, at Lee, Oneida county, New York. Ile was married July 8, 1846, to Mary Sheldon, the sixth child of a family of ten children,-six girls and four boys. Her parents moved from North Adams, Massachu-

setts, and settled in Lee, Oneida county, New York, in 1828. She was born in North Adams, November 11, 1826.
They have two children,-Henry S. and Maryettie ; the former is married to Cora Richardson, to whom a daughter, Leila May, was born December 22, 1876. Mr. Davis settled in Orwell, on the farm where he still lives, March 4, 1851, then consisting of ninety-one acres, to which has been added adjoining lands, until now it contains two hun- dred and fifty. The father and son work the farm con- jointly. During the last year, 1876, Mr. D. has erected one of the finest farm residences in that portion of the county, a representation of which, together with the " old home," appears in this work.
Mr. Davis is Republican in politics, but has never been an aspirant for office. He is a member of the Congrega- tional church of Orwell.
Prompt in all his business transactions, thorough in whatever he undertakes, from the plowing of a furrow to the building of a house, contributing his equal share for all public enterprises, with a keen relish for the comforts of a pleasant home, Mr. D. could be ill spared from his family or neighborhood.
