1861 TO 1865.
DURING the early years of the rebellion the local columns of the Cataract recorded few events of importance aside from those connected with the war. The feeling of uncertainty and apprehension which prevailed among busi- ness men prevented large investments of capital in new enterprises, and until 1863, there were but slight signs of progress in the place.
During 1861, especially, there were few notable local occurrences. A fire on the morning of March 25th destroyed the picking room of the Harmony Mills, which had been burned two years before. By the exertions of the fire department, assisted by Hudson Hose Company of Water- ford, the flames were prevented from communicating to the other buildings. The damage to stock, etc., was $10,000, insured. Another fire, July 15th, destroyed the saw mill of Wm. Burton & Co., at a loss of $8,000. En- gines from Lansingburg and Waterford and the Ranken steamer from Troy were in attendance and prevented the destruction of the adjoining veneering mill.
Among the new business establishments of the year was the brewery on Saratoga street below the state yard pro- perty, which afterwards was conducted by Tighe & Robin- son and John Tighe. In the latter part of the year, the paper mill of Chas. Van Benthuysen, on the site of Fuller's bedstead factory, was completed and commenced operations in Jan., 1862. It was entirely destroyed by fire Feb. 15th, at a loss of $25,000. The cause was the spontaneous combustion of some cotton waste stored in the fourth story. Mr. Van Benthuysen at once made arrangements for rebuild- ing, but not on so extensive a scale as before.

HISTORY OF COHOES.
1862.
In February a bill incorporating the Cohoes and Troy Horse Rail Road Company was introduced in the legisla- ture by a number of Troy capitalists. John A. Griswold was elected president and O. HI. Arnold vice president of the company. Considerable opposition to the project was at first manifested in Cohoes, the citizens believing that the trade of home merchants would suffer largely, and also that the laying of track through the streets would lower the value of property along the route. The friends of the bill had a hearing before the trustees, who appointed J. F. Crawford to appear in their behalf before the legislature. Mr. Crawford prepared several important amendments, which were accepted by the incorporators, and were probably satisfactory to Cohoes people, for no further remonstrance was made.
Another matter, which received considerable comment in the Cataract during the summer, was a dead lock in the board of trustees, which prevented the transaction of any public business from April 28th to Oct. 6th. The board was evenly divided in politics, and several members absented themselves so that a quorum could not be obtained.
A new knitting factory was established during this year by L. W. Mansfield, who rented the building now known as the Empire Mill and put in operation three sets of machin - ery.' Mr. Mansfield's establishment in the tobacco factory building on Courtland street, passed into the hands of Alden Frink and Bingham.
In January, 1863, the Cohoes Skating Association, the first institution of the sort in the place, was organized with the following officers : Winsor Stone, president ; Rodney
1 As a matter of interest in the history of this mill it may be mentioned that mid- day union prayer meetings were held in its seaming rooms for nearly two years, with an average attendance of forty persons. In the winter of 1-65, a course of encial singing was inaugurated, at each evening of which from three to five hun- dred persons were present.
