Two of the joint dis- tricts extend into Montgomery County, and one into Scho. harie County. The amount of State money appropriated to the schools of Duanesburgh during the last fiscal year was $2,163.70. The amount raised by district tax was $3.359.85 The total was $5,523.55. The number of scholars attending school in 1884 was 970.
CHURCH HISTORY.
Judge Duane, on his retirement, sought to establish in Duanesburgh a home for his declining years. One of his first thoughts was for a church. Centre Lot, or Square, having failed in its purpose of becoming the center of Duanesburgh village, he devoted it to the uses of this church, and in its center he built the present house of worship, about 1792 and 1793. Before the date of its consecration it was conveyed to the corporation. At a meeting of the rector and inhabitants of the town of Duanesburgh, in communion of the Episcopal Church of said town, on Tuesday, Septem- ber 22, 1793, the following instrument respecting the conse. cration, entitled "an act of the founder for consecrating Christ's Church at Duanesburgh," was laid before the vestry.
"I, James Duane, proprietor of the town of Duanesburgh, in the County of Albany, do hereby make known and de- clare that the edifice lately erected at the place called Centre Square of the said town, and the ground on which the said edifice is situated, are intended and hereby appro. priated for the public worship of Almighty God, according to the rites and ceremonies of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of New York, for which use they shall always remain and continue. And that I have requested, and do hereby pray the Right Reverend the Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the said State of New York to consecrate and set apart the said edifice, with the ground on which it is erected, by the name of Christ's Church in Duanesburgh, according to the rights and ceremonies of the said Protestant Episcopal Church. In Witness," etc.
(Signed)
[Seal. ] JAMES DUANE.
The duplicate of this instrument was publicly delivered by Mr. Duane into the hands of the Right Reverend Samuel Provost at the chancel of the church, and there read and published by the Rev. Mr. Ellison, rector of St. Peter's Church, Albany, immediately before the consecration, to a large audience, on Sunday, August 25, 1793. There was also present, to assist at the service, the Rev. Leonard Cutting, minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church, U. S.
The parish evidently had a corporate existence for some years previous lo 1795, and was in charge of the Rev. Mr. Belden. It was admitted to the Convention of the Diocese of New York in 1789. Under the State law then recently passed, action was taken to comply with the new require. ments.
"To all people to whom these presents shall come or concern: The Rev. David Belden, minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Town of Duanesburgh and County of Albany, and William North, James C Duane, Edward Cumpston and Joel Thompson of the said town, members of the said church, do hereby certify and make known, that on the twenty-third day of August, 1795, immediately after divine service, they were present and assisted at a meeting of the male adult persons of the congregation, or church in communion, of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of New York, at Christ's Church in the said Town of Du- anesburgh, for the purpose of incorporating themselves under the act of the Legislature of this State, entitled ' An Act for the Relief of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of New York,' passed the 17th day of March, 1795. That the said minister presided at the said meeting. That William North and James C. Duane, of the said town, were
