first floor is devoted to the primary and secondary depart- ments. There are four rooms on each floor, 26 by 40 feet. Each room has two wardrobe-rooms, 8 by 8 feet. The two rooms on the east and the two on the west side of the building communicate with each other by large folding- doors. Passing to the third floor we enter the academical room, 39 by 68 feet, and containing 150 seats. From this room the principal is in direct communication with every department both by speaking-tubes and signal-bells. The school-rooms are all furnished with Chase's single desks, iron frames with fokling seats, the woodwork all being of fine cherry. The flooring throughont the building is of oak, and all deadened so that the noise of one department does not disturb the exercises of another. Every room in the building contains gas-burners, 100 in all, and the school- rooms, while abundantly supplied with windows, can be darkened by the inside blinds attached to each. The vesti- bules contain seats and are warmed, so that pupils arriving carly may be comfortable in the coldest of weather. All the departments are most elegantly finished and furnished, and it is altogether one of the most complete school-build- ings in the State. A large number of volumes and geolog- ical specimens have already been placed in the library and cabinet-rooms which occupy the upper floor of the building, and ascending another flight of stairs we enter the clock- room, where a fine, large clock, with four dials, occupies this story in the tower. Still another flight, and we stand by the deep-toned bell which calls the youth of Corning to these halls, and hourly, day and night, rings out the hours. This bell weighs 2500 pounds, and bears the fol- lowing inscription, cast in the bell :

A.D. 1873. HIRAM PRITCHARD, SAMUEL C. ROBERTSON, GEO. W. PATTERSON, JR .. LEWIS C. KINGSBURY, GEORGE HITCHCOCK, CHAS. G. DENISON. BOARD OF EDUCATION. JOIIN N. HUNGERFORD, Treasurer ; GEO. E. EATON, Secretary : H. A. BALCAM, M.A., Principal."

It would be an act of injustice not to mention in this eonnection the valuable services of Mr. Geo. W. Patterson, Jr., one of the Board of Education. From the first incep- tion of the work to its completion and occupancy he gave up all other business, and devoted his whole time and atten- tion to the enterprise. Every piece of timber and every portion of the work was personally inspected by him. His valuable counsel and individual effort cannot be estimated pecuniarily. And all this without any other fee or reward than the consciousness of rendering a valuable public service.

Prof. Baleam remained in charge of the schools till June 29, 1876. On the 4th of September, 1876, Prof. A. Gay- lord Slocum, A.B., a graduate of Rochester University, assumed charge, and is the present superintendent and principal of the academy.

CORNING LIBRARY.

At a meeting held on the 25th of February, 1873, the Corning Library was organized under the general law, with the following officers : C. H. Thomson, President ; George W. Pratt, Vice-President ; II. A. Balcam, Secretary ; J. N. Ilungerford, Treasurer ; Mrs. A. B. Maynard, Librarian. A handsome one-story building, suited for the library, was erected on Erie Avenue, and the library was opened to the public on the 4th of February, 1874. Its growth has been rapid. and it is undoubtedly one of the most prosperous and beneficial institutions of the village. By the payment of two dollars per year any person can become a subscriber, which entitles him to draw from the library such books as he may desire to read, subject, of course, to the rules of the association, which are very liberal, and intended to promote reading and self-culture among the masses of the people. The library now contains 6500 volumes, carefully selected for general reading, and embracing many rare and valuable books of reference. The following-named persons constitute the present board of trustees : C. II. Thomson, Wm. Walker, Geo. T. Spencer, Q. W. Willington, S. T. Hayt, Gco. W. Pratt, Jno. N. IFungerford, C. C. B. Walker, J. B. Graves, 1I. Pritchard, Alex. Olcott, Geo. B. Bradley, Henry B. Noyes. The two last named having succeeded Wm. D. Turbell and H. A. Balcam, of the first board. C. H. Thom- son, President; G. W. Pratt, Vice-President ; William

Walker, Secretary; J. N. Hungerford, Treasurer ; Hon. George T. Spencer, Historian ; Miss F. Maynard, Librarian.

CORNING WATER-WORKS.

In pursuance of a special act of the Legislature, the board of the village of Corning, in 1870, inaugurated a movement for the supply of the village with water. At the annual election in 1871, the people authorized the newly-elected board to issue the bonds of the village for the construction of water-works. Charles G. Denison, presi- dent of the village, and A. H. Gorton were appointed the supervising committee, who purchased a piece of land for a reservoir, at the head of Pine Street, 210 feet above the village, and entered into a contract with the Gloucester Iron-Works, of Philadelphia, to construct the reservoir and lay the necessary pipes. The work was completed at the contract price, $20,000, in September, 1872, including the reservoir, 2126 feet of S-inch pipe, 3225 feet of 6-inch pipe, 3434 feet of 4-inch pipe, 268 feet of 3-inch pipe, 20 branches, 22 hydrants, 12 stop-valves, plugs, caps, etc. This arrangement has been found very effective for fire purposes, the natural force of the water through an inch and a quarter nozzle throwing a stream 120 feet perpen- dicular, or five streams far above the highest building in the village. In case of a deficiency of water in extreme dry weather, a pumping apparatus has been established at a never-failing pond of beautiful elear spring water, in the lower part of the village. The reservoir on the hill is sup- plied with water from the creek, known as Monkey Run, and is sufficient for all purposes except in very dry weather. Since the original construction of the works, about $15,000 have been expended upon them in the form of repairs and improvements, making the total cost as they now stand about $35,000. It is safe to say that Corning is favored with a system of water-works seldom enjoyed even by large cities.

On the 1st of January, 1877, the village corporation transferred the Corning water-works to Messrs. II. C. Heer- mans and T. h. Lawrence, lessees, for thirty years. H. C. Heermans, Superintendent ; T. L. Lawrence, Engineer.

CORNING GAS COMPANY.

The Corning Gas Company was incorporated Aug. 1, 1862. The officers are L. C. Kingsbury, President ; C. S. Cole, Secretary ; F. D. Kingsbury, Treasurer ; and R. E. Cole, Superintendent.

CHURCHES.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF CORNING.

This church was organized at Knoxville, about 1810, and was originally known as the " Presbyterian Church of l'ainted Post." Its first house of worship was built at Knoxville in 1832, the church having up to that time held services in the school-house. The second edifice was erected in the village of Corning, and was dedicated April 28, 1842. The year following, by action of the Presbytery, the name was changed to the First Presbyterian Church of Corning, and the organization was soon after incorporated, with the following-named persons as trustees : Bradford A. Potter, James A. Ilayt, and Charles R. Tisdale.

W.W. WORMLEY

WILLIAM W. WORMLEY.

Samuel Wormley, son of John Wormley, was born in Cumber- land Co., Pa., Aug. 14, 1796, and settled in the town of Corning, formerly Painted Post, Steuben Co., N. Y., about 1815 or 1816, within two miles of the place now owned by his son, William W. He was a farmer and lumberman by occupation, and endured all the privations ineident to a pioneer life. He was one of the rep- resentative farmers of his time, and owned some three hundred and fifty acres of the best land in the town. In politics he was a Jaek- son Democrat. He became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church a short time before his death.

He married Sally, daughter of Joseph Gillett, in 1818. She was born Dee. 2, 1797. Of this union six children-five sons and one daughter-were born, viz. : Henry, now in Illinois ; Joseph G., a resident of Steuben County ; Minerva, now a resident of Geneva, N. Y. ; William W., the subject of this sketch ; George (deceased) ; and John G., who is living in Michigan. Mrs. Samuel Wormley died Aug. 10, 1852, and was buried in the cemetery near Corning.

Mr. Wormley married & Mrs. Hannah Wolf, a resident of Seneca Co., N. Y., for his second wife. At the time of his death, and for many years previous, he was a citizen of Seneca County, within five miles of Seneca Falls. He died Feb. 14, 1868, and was buried by the side of his first wife.

William W. Wormley, son of Samuel and Sally Wormley, was born in the town of Corning, Steuben Co., N. Y., July 19, 1824. He was reared on the farm, which honorable business he has suc- cessfully followed to the present time. He commenced life poor, receiving but a small sum from his father, but by untiring energy and frugality he has become one of the large and substantial farmers of his town and county. The winters have been spent lumbering ; thus his life, like many others in the county, has been farming and lumbering. He owns more than four hundred acres of land, the greater part of which lies along the river, in the

beautiful valley below the village of Corning. His improvements are good. A view of his buildings can be seen opposite. He has always been a firm Democrat in polities, but of late so far favors the movements of the Greenback party as to believe it would be for the best interest of the country if the national banks were done away with, and their issue of $324,000,000 replaced by as many greenbacks as it takes bonds placed with the controller of the currency to secure the issue of said national bank notes. We would then have $360,000,000 instead of $324,000,000, thus add- ing $36,000,000 to the circulation, and saving to the country the interest on $360,000,000 of bonds.

He married Mary D., daughter of Horace and Malinda Westcott, July 25, 1849. She was horn in Chenango Co., N. Y., June 3, 1825, and settled in Steuben County with her parents in 1839.

As the result of the above allianee three children have been born, namely,-Mandame M., who married Le Roy Miller, and now resides on a farm in the town of Corning; Frank P., who married Emma Van Kurin, and now resides on the farm with his parents ; and Miss Carrie, at home with her parents.

We append the following in reference to Horace Westcott: He was a native of Connecticut, and settled when a boy in Norwich, Chenango Co., N. Y., in company with his parents, and continued to reside there till 1839, when he settled in Caton, Steuben Co., with his family. He was a farmer by occupation, and by perse- verance and frugality gained a competency. His golden wedding was celebrated several years ago by his children, grandchildren, and friends. He has three children, viz. : Mrs. Wm. W. Worm- ley, and Mrs. H. D. Smith, both of Corning ; and Dr. N. S. West- cott, 360 Bleecker Street, New York City. His widow still lives. He died Dec. 31, 1878, aged seventy-seven years. He was a tender and affectionate hushand and father, a kind and obliging neighbor, a true and warm-hearted friend, and an honest man.

TOWN OF CORNING.

In 1867 the present beautiful church edifice was built, at a cost of $36,000.

This church, when first organized, was under the juris- diction of the Presbytery of Geneva, afterwards of Bath, then it was transferred to the Presbytery of Chemung, and is now within the bounds of the Presbytery of Steuben. It was organized by Rev. John Niles, of Bath. The first settled pastor was Rev. Clement Hickman, who was installed Aug. 25, 1812, and resigned in 1816. From that time till 1821 the church was without a pastor, but was kept alive by a few devoted and faithful Christian women, who main- tained the prayer-meeting and the Sunday-school. Among these were the late Mrs. Wm. Bonham, of Painted Post, and the late Mrs. Ann McCall, of Bath. The superintend- ents of the Sabbath-school were Mrs. Ann McCall and Miss Maria Knox, afterwards the wife of Mr. John McBurney. The successor of Rev. Clement Hickman was Rev. Thomas Lounsbury, whose field of labor embraced several settle- ments, extending from Big Flats to Campbell, and who numbered among his hearers the settlers on Mud Creek.

The pastors who have served this church from the first are the following : Rev. Clement Hickman, 1812-16 ; Rev. Thomas Lounsbury, 1821-23 ; Rev. Mr. Gilbert, 1823-25; Rev. Reuben Sanborn, 1826-27; Rev. David Harrower, 1827-29 ; Rev. David Higgins, D.D., 1829-31 ; Rev. John Barton, 1832-35; Rev. John Smith, 1835-38; Rev. F. W. Graves, 1838; Rev. Samuel M. Hopkins, D. D., 1840- 42; Rev. Joshua B. Graves, 1842-47 ; Rev. Job Pierson, 1847-49; Rev. A. L. Brooks, 1849-51; Rev. Robert E. Wilson, 1851-55; Rev. Darwin Chichester, 1856-59; Rev. William A. Niles, D.D., 1859-72; Rev. Anson G. Chester, 1872-75 ; Rev. M. L. P. Hill, 1875-79.

SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

In the spring of 1845 a second Presbyterian Church was established in Corning. The original members, numbering 46, were regularly dismissed from the old church to form the new organization, which was formed by the Presbytery of Chemung, Nov. 20, 1845. Their house of worship was built on the north side of Erie Avenue, corner of Wall Street, and was familiarly known as the Old Tabernacle. Rev. Horatio Pattengill, D.D., was the only pastor. The two churches were united on the 2d of April, 1849.

The first circuit preacher, Rev. Joseph Pearsall, received his appointment to Painted Post Circuit from the Genesee Conference in 1832. The Corning Circuit, including Caton, was organized in 1839, and Corning became a station in 1847. The Corning class in 1833, and for several years following, held its meetings in the school-house at Little Flats. The first church edifice was erected in 1839. It was located on the south side of First Street, a little east of where the court-house now stands, and was supplied with a bell presented by Mrs. Erastus Corning. Chandler Wheeler and Thomas S.

was circulated by the pastor, Rev. J. T. Arnold. He was not only pastor, but the successful financier of the enter- prise. The church is a commodious brick structure, with a capacity for seating about 700, and has recently been re- modeled and refitted at a cost of about $1200.

Rev. Dr. William Hosmer, pastor of this church in 1835, has since been for many years editor and manager of the Northern Christian Advocate and Northern Independent, at Auburn, N. Y.

ST. MARY'S (CATHOLIC) CHURCHI.

The first services of the Catholic Church were held in Corning in 1842, by Rev. Patrick Bradley, then residing at Geneva, N. Y. At that time there were not more than three or four Catholic families residing in the place. Rev. Mr. Bradley visited Corning about three or four times a year, till 1845 or 1846, when he was succeeded by Rev. John Sheridan, from Owego, who visited the place five or six times a year, till the year 1847. From this time till 1849 services were held about once a month. The com- mencement of the Eric Railway at this time began to in- crease the Catholic population of Corning, but they were chiefly poor laboring men.

In 1849, Rev. Mr. Sheridan commenced the erection of a small frame church, and when it was finished, Corning was visited monthly from Elmira till the year 1850, in which year Rev. John Boyle and Rev. Mr. Cunningham, of Elmira, paid visits to the parish monthly, and sometimes twice a month, till 1852. Rev. Mr. Cunningham was then appointed the first resident clergyman of Corning, and remained till December, 1860, visiting the missions at Ad- dison and Bath. During his time the little church at Corning was considerably enlarged, and a church built at Addison. The Catholics of Corning also built a school- house during this year.

In December, 1860, Rev. Peter Colgan was appointed pastor of the Corning mission, including the villages of Corning and Addison, and vicinity. He immediately took measures for the permanent establishment and effective sup- port of the Catholic school, ealling a meeting Dee. 16, 1860, at which a committee was appointed, the village divided into several small districts, and the heads of Catholic fam- ilies taxed according to their means to support the school, to which proposition the entire congregation agreed. In- temperance was also declared to be an evil which was de- stroying the peace and happiness of many families, and a temperance society was organized, Jan. 13, 1861. Also, at the same time, a benevolent society was formed.

The first confirmation was held by the Rt .- Rev. Bishop, October 5, 1862, twelve adult persons being confirmed. St. Mary's Cemetery was at the same time conseerated by the bishop.

Nov. 22, 1863, Rt .- Rev. Bishop Timon visited the church and confirmed 112 persons.

On the 10th of June, 1866, the corner-stone of the new St. Mary's church was laid, and during the same day Rt .- Rev. Bishop Timon confirmed 203 persons.

The cost of the new St. Mary's church was about $65,000, including the parochial residence. It is not yet finished in accordance with the original plan, the spire not

being built at this writing (Feb., 1879). The Catholic population of Corning is about 2000; about 500 more are ineluded in the country part of the parish, which embraces Big Flats, Caton, Hornby, Lindley, and part of Erwin. A large frame building has been erected for the school, which, in October, 1862, Rev. Mr. Colgan succeeded in placing under the State law, so as to entitle to a share of the State and district money .. The attendance at the school is 380 pupils, and it employs 5 teachers. In 1868, St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum was opened in a small frame building, pur- chased by Rev. Mr. Colgan, in September, 1864. The Sis- ters of Merey, who have charge of the orphanage, are also teachers of the female department of the school.

In 1873 the State Arsenal building was sold by the State, and was purchased by Rev. Mr. Colgan, with the site, in- cluding four aeres of land, at a cost of $12,000, and con- verted into an asylum and convent, where the Sisters reside. An additional sum of $3000 was expended in fitting up the place. Ten orphans are now in the asylum, where they are cared for till places can be had for them in good families, when they are sent out and others taken in their stead.

BAPTIST CHURCHI.

The Baptist Church of Corning was organized Aug. 24, 1842, with 24 original members. E. D. Fish and D. Baker were chosen deacons, and J. Clark clerk.

The church edifice was erected, and dedicated May 8, 1850.

Since the organization of the church the following pas- tors have officiated : Rev. B. R. Swich, Rev. Luke Davis, Rev. A. H. Stark weather, Rev. Charles Morton, Rev. H. F. ITill, Rev. George Starkweather, Rev. Mr. Barnes, Rev. D. Van Alstine, Rev. F. R. Fowler, and Rev. James P. Thoms, the present pastor.

The present membership of the church is 137; Sunday- school, 139.

There is also a Free- Will Baptist Church in Corning, which was organized in 1865.

PHYSICIANS.

The first physician who settled at Corning was Dr. Wil- liam Turbell, who is still a resident of the village. Dr. Turbell was born at Southampton, Long Island, in the year 1798, and is a graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, in the class of 1826.

Dr. Seely Brownell was the next physician, who prac- ticed a few years, and was succeeded by Dr. N. M. Her- rington in September, 1844.

Dr. Corbett Peebles, who had formerly practiced in Knoxville, came to Corning about 1842. He practiced till about April 1, 1844, when he removed to Big Flats, where he has since resided.

Dr. Hoffman was also an early practitioner in Corning. He practiced here a short time in 1844.

Dr. N. M. Herrington, who is still in active practice in the village, came here as a physician in September, 1844. He was born in Burlington, Otsego Co., N. Y, in 1812, and graduated at Castleton, Vt., in 1837. He has been a constant practitioner in this village for more than thirty- four years.
