Some years since, prompted by a laudable desire to rescue this building from decay and oblivion, Mr. Letchworth caused it to be carefully taken down, and the material of which it was constructed removed to its present site at that place and re-erected exactly in its original form, each timber having been marked as it was taken down and replaced in just the same relation as it was originally. By reason of this removai and careful re-erection, the old council-house may, by the care which will be given to it, endure for another century. As it was, it would have passed away in a few years.
On the first of October, 1872, a council assembled in the old council-house at Glen Iris. About a score of Indians were present, and several of their women. They were plumed and dressed in Indian costume, and some of them were painted and armed in ancient style. Among those present were the descendants of some prominent historic characters. The Mohawks were represented by Colonel Simcoe Kerr, a grandson of the Mohawk chief Joseph Brant and great grandson of Sir William Johnson. His sister, Mrs. Kate Osborne, was also present. Of the Senecas there were present John Jacket, a grandson of the celebrated Red Jacket; Cornplanter, a grandson of the great chief of that name; Thomas Jemison, a grandson of the "white woman " and son of the babe which she brought on her back from Ohio to this valley; Nicholson H. Parker, brother of. General Ely S. Parker; William and Jesse Tallchief, grandsons of a sachem of that name; William Blacksnake, grandson of old " Governor Blacksnake"; James Shongo, son of Colonel Shongo, who is said to have led the Senecas in the expedi- tion to Wyoming, and George Jones, grandson of Tommy Jemmy, a sachem who officiated as executioner at what was probably the last capital punishment for witchcraft in this country. After the lighting of the fire, speeches were made in the Indian tongue and in their peculiar style of eloquence by several of the chiefs present. That of Cornplanter was said to be peculiarly affecting. Ex-President Fillmore, the poet Hosmer and other distinguished persons were present at this council.
It will be remembered that in the war of 1812 the Mohawks were the allies of the English, and thus became estranged from the Senecas, who adhered to the cause of the Americans. In his speech Cornplanter said:
"In the last war with England the Mohawks met us as foes on the war- path. For seventy-five years their place bes been vacant at our council- fres. They left us when we were strong, a nation of warriors, and they left us in anger.
"Brothers, we are now poor and weak. There are none who fear us or court our influence. We are reduced to a handful, and have scarce a place to spread our blankets in the vast territory owned by our fathers. But in our poverty and desolation our long estranged brothers, the Mohawks, have come back to us .. The vacant seats are filled again. Although the council" fire of our nation Is little more than a heap of ashes, let us stir its dying embers, that by their light we may see the faces of our brothers once more. - " Brothers, my heart is gladdened by seeing a grandson of that great chief Thay-en-den-ega-onh (Captain Brant) at our council-fre. His grand- father often met our fathers in counoll when the Six Nations were one peo- ple and were happy and strong.
"in grateful remembrance of that nation, and that great warrior, and in token of buried enmity, I will extend my hand to our Mohawk brother. May be feel that he is our brother, and that we are brethren."
It is stated elsewhere that a tree was planted near the foot of Mary Jemison's grave by Thomas Jemison. On the occasion of this council John Jacket, a grandson of the Seneca orator, planted a tree near the west door of the council-house; and Mrs. Kate Osborne, granddaughter of the Mohawk chief Joseph Brant, assisted by ex-President Fillmore, planted another near the east door. It will be remembered that of the Ho-de-no-sau-nee, or people of the long house, the Senecas were the keepers of the west door, and the Mohawks of the east; hence the planting of these trees in their respective positions by the representatives of these nations. The grounds have been visited by two grandsons of Sir William Johnson, one of whom, who is a baronet and captain in the royal navy, planted a tree there. Another tree has been planted by Charles Jones, son of Captain Horatio Jones, the Indian interpreter.
A short distance from the council-house stands a section of the famous oak tree which is said by some historians to have suggested the name of the Seneca chief Big Tree, as well as of the Indian village near it which bore the same name, and which has been made memorable by the import- ant treaty which was made there in 1797. The tree was blown down some years since, and this piece of it has been brought here and placed under a roof, to be preserved as an ancient landmark.
The council-house now contains quite a number of Indian relics, and Mr. Letchworth has in contemplation the erection of a fire-proof building for a museum in which to place these and some 3,000 others that are now collected, with such others as may be deposited there for exhibition.
All parts of the glen and its surroundings, which have at a large expense been thus tastefully fitted up, have always been freely open to pleasure-seekers and the public, and Mr. Letchworth feels a pride in saying that, though thousands have visited these grounds, not an instance of malicious trespass has occurred.
PORTAGEVILLE.
The village of Portageville was originally named Schuyler, in honor of General Philip Schuyler. This name was dropped about 1829 in favor of Portage, which was changed to Por- tageville in 1846, on the division of the town.

BEGINNINGS AT PORTAGEVILLE-CHURCH HISTORIES.
Among the very early settlers was Seth Smith, a Canadian, who was compelled, for political reasons, to fly from Canada. His wife and three children followed-she and the youngest child on horseback, and the other two children, a boy and girl, in a canoe. After suffering severe hardships they all arrived in this State, and ultimately settled here. When Mr. Smith came here he was one of a company consisting of Mumford, Hubbard, Mckay and Smith. This company purchased from the proprietor of the tract the land which now includes the village of Portageville, and Mr. Smith, who was a mill- wright, at once commenced the work of erecting mills here. He built the dam across the river, a portion of which still remains, though other parts have been several times carried away. He erected a saw-mill and a grist-mill. The saw- mill was carried away in a flood in 1835, was rebuilt, and afterward, with the grist-mill and a sash factory, burned. It was again rebuilt, but is now nearly gone to decay. The grist-mill stood some twenty rods below the dam. Above it was the saw-mill, and above this a clothiery, which Mr. Ezra Smith erected. This clothiery was carried away with the saw-mill.
This company laid out the village, very nearly as it is now. Smith and Mckay, of this firm, sold their share of the property to Elijah Elmer and Colonel George Williams. Mr. Williams purchased the interest of Mr. Elmer, and then of Mumford and Hubbard, and thus became the sole owner. This ownership he retained till his death in 1876.
About the year 1837 work was commenced here on the Genesee Valley Canal, and in the next three years a large influx of laborers took place, and the village presented a lively aspect. About 1849 work was resumed on the canal after a stoppage of some eight years, and within two years from that time the Attica and Hornelisville railroad was commenced. While these works were in progress the village displayed great activity; but on their completion the popu- lation diminished and business became stagnant.
The first framed buildings in the town were the mills spoken of. The next was a house built by Ezra Smith, which, after many repairs and alterations, is still standing, between Hamilton street and the river, nearly opposite the dam. It is the oldest building now in the town. This house was the first tavern in the town. Liquors were dis- pensed there, and entertainment could be furnished for a guest or two at a time. Soon afterward a tavern was erected by Lewis Wood, Esq., on the corner of Hamilton and Main streets. Additions were from time to time made to this, as increasing patronage demanded, till it assumed quite large proportions. It was burned in 1843 or 1844.
The first blacksmith was Samuel Kingsley. The first res- ident carpenter was B. Shaw. The first distillery stood just south from the Hamilton street canal bridge, on ground that was afterward excavated for the canal. It was built by John Gibbs and Robert Graham, and first carried on by them. Alexander Martin and Lucius C. Foote, under the firm name of Foote & Martin, kept the first store, in a small building near the river bridge. The first physician was Dr. E. D. Moses. The first attorney was Lucius C. Fonte. The first postmaster was E. D. Moses, appointed about 1823. The first school was taught about the year 1826, by Eliza Tanner, in a plank school-house half a mile up the river from Portageville. Miss Tanner afterward became Mrs. Rood.
Portageville was incorporated under the general act in 1866. The first president was Henry O. Brown. By a vote of the people the charter was relinquished in 1874. Dr. Robert Rae was president when the village ceased to be a corporation.
CHURCHES IN PORTAGEVILLE.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL SOCIETY.
The records of this society were burned a few years since, and it is therefore necessary to rely on the memory of old members for facts concerning its history. Allowance must therefore be made for possible errors of recollection.
In 1825 there was one Methodist in the town-Mrs. Sarah Smith, a sister of Dr. Nathan Bangs. About that time a Methodist clergyman named Richardson preached occasion- ally in a school-house half a mile up the river from Portageville. Among the earliest Methodists are remem- bered Jotham Tower, Lot Griffith, Sarah Smith, John Sloan, Peter Van Buskirk, Mrs. Elijah Elmer, Alvah Green, Mrs. Alvah Green and Mrs. Amelia Jackson. The first class was formed about 1826, with Jotham Tower as class leader, and a society was organized soon afterward.
The first quarterly meeting here was held in Seth Smith's barn, in 1828. It was conducted by Presiding Elder Grant, and Bishop Hedding and Rev. Dr. Bangs were pres- ent. Meetings were often held in barns and private houses then.
In 1852 the church edifice was erected. It is a wooden structure about forty by sixty feet, standing on Pike street.
The society has never been an independent station, but has been connected with other societies in the vicinity.
The names of preachers who are remembered to have of- ficiated on the circuits or charges of which this society has constituted a part are Shepardson, Castle, Cosart, Philo E. Brown, Dow, Buck, Harker, Seaver, Waller, Burlingham, Hudson, Stiles, Stainton, Grisewood, Cooley, Holmes, Jason Miller, Rollin Miller, H. Ripley, Rollin Welch, Alfred Abell, Wooley, Alfred Kendal, J. P. Kent, E. Sears, George W. Coe, John Smallwood, J. H. Rogers, Wilson, T. H. Bell, Joseph Wayne, T. F. Parker, King, John Spinks, E. F. Bach- eldor and J. O. Jarman.
The present number of members is forty.
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The Presbyterian Church of Portageville was organized originally as a Congregational church, June 26th, 1827, by Rev. Silas Hubbard, at the house of Joseph Waldo, in the village of Portageville (then Schuyler). At its organization it consisted of the following eighteen members: Joseph Waldo, Mary Waldo, Bezaleel Shaw, Molly Shaw, Elizabeth Van Buskirk, Richard W. Robinson, Eunice Smith, Lovina Inman, Henry Smith, Cornelia Smith, Lydia Smith, Homer Smith, Rebekah Foot, Bezaleel Shaw, jr., Persis Shaw, Eliz- abeth Shaw, Charlotte Robinson and Nancy Spencer. The church elected Joseph Waldo deacon, and Richard W. Rob- inson clerk.
Articles of faith and a covenant were adopted at the organ- ization, which are still used in substance, being orthodox according to the Westminster confession of faith.
For the two succeeding years no records were made in the book. On the 5th of October, 1829, a meeting was held,

and "The First Congregational Society of Portage" was organized. Richard W. Robinson, Homer Smith and Jos- eph Waldo were elected trustees.
For four or five years the meetings were held in the village school-house. The church was connected with Angelica Presbytery on the "accommodation plan." It is said that there was occasional preaching by Rev. Horatio Waldo, Messrs. Smith, Spicer, Mason, King and others.
December 7th, 1832, the society resolved to build a meet- ing-house "like the one in Pike," and that the slips be annually sold to supply the pulpit. Orson Waldo, Homer Smith and Ephraim Smith were appointed a building com- mittee. It is believed that the church was built within a year. This house was sold to George Williams, and a new one erected about the year 1859, at a cost of more than $3,500. It is located at the eastern end of Main street.
The following is a list of the pastors, with the period of their pastorate: Revs. Horatio Waldo, 1826-31; E. King, 1831-34; J. B. Wilcox, 1834-37; A.

Kinney and Fitch Robinson.
At one time there were 92 members, but in 1876 there were only 40. The present membership is 50. Homer Smith and Charlotte Robinson are the only original members left.
In 1845 the church united with the Presbytery of Buffalo.
The first superintendent of the Sunday-school was Nathan Platt, with Ephraim Smith assistant; elected at a meeting of the session April 9th, 1845. Horace Smith is the present superintendent. The school numbers about 60 scholars and teachers.

The First Baptist Church of Portageville was organized on the 5th of December, 1838, with Dexter Carpenter, Artemas Tucker, Lewis A. Tallman, Benjamin C. Colby, Anson Bige- low, Noah Payne, jr., and George Williams as trustees.
In 1841 the society erected a house of worship, thirty-eight by fifty feet, at an expense of $2,000. The church record states that the house was built by James & Son, builders, "on lots No. 1 and 2 in block G, given by George Williams for that purpose to the society."
In 1852 a bell was placed in the tower of this house, at an expense of $183.96.
July 4th, 1877, the house was partially unroofed by a tor- nado. A new roof was put on and other needed repairs were made, and the whole completed by the 14th of the same month.

CHURCH OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN.
The mission of Portageville was established about 1848, among the laborers on the Genesee Valley Canal and the Erie Railway.
The first priest who came among the Catholics of this place was Rev. Father McEvoy, then of Rochester. Having become the resident pastor of Java mission, and Portage- ville like many others being a dependent to Java, he built in the year 1848 the present church, and had it dedicated in

the same year by Bishop Timon, of Buffalo, under the pa- tronage of the Blessed Virgin. The dimensions of this building are sixty by forty feet.
Father McEvoy attended the mission until 1851, when Rev. Daniel Dolan became the first resident pastor. He was succeeded by Fathers Moore, Ryan, Deane, McConnell, Purcell, Gregg, Lawton, McGinnis, Cook, Donaghue and McGrath-the present pastor.
A number of outside stations now, as in the past, comprise the mission of Portageville. Mount Morris, Warsaw and Perry were for many years attended from Portage, but each has now a resident pastor.
The Catholics have a cemetery, pleasantly situated, on the hillside a short distance from their church. This was the gift of the late Colonel Williams.
