The membership on this formal organization consisted of Rev. George Spratt, Ephraim B. Gerould, David S. Ireland, Samuel Morgan, Elizabeth Spratt, Mary Binley, Chastina Macomber, Eliza Marvin, Sarah P. Keltz, Maria Marvin, Margaret Ireland, Ann Morgan and Mar- garet Harris. Of these original members only three re- main, viz .: David S. Ireland and wife, of Raleigh, N. C., and Mrs. Sarah P. Keltz, of Covington. Mrs. Keltz, be- loved and respected by a large circle of friends, at the advanced age of nearly 90 years retains general good health and all her faculties except her hearing.
The church met in the school house until about the year 1855. Although a committee was appointed Feb- ruary 15th 1847 consisting of D. S. Ireland, George W. Booth, George McLeod, Samuel Morgan and James Husted), to raise funds to erect a church edifice, the ob- ject was not attained until 1855.
In 1860 there were 63 members. The history of the society since then can be briefly written, a history of steady progress and influence for good in the community. With pastors of acknowledged ability, education and cul- ture it has held its own, and done its own specific work, and at present it has a membership of 90 and a large and flourishing Sunday-school, and an active and assiduous missionary board.
In the past year the society has bought a lot on Main street near the church, and is erecting a parsonage.
It might be remarked here that the Covington church is the parent of nearly all the prominent Baptist churches in the county: the Blossburg, Mansfield, Charleston, Dartt Settlement, Middlebury and other churches were organized by it and set aside as individual Baptist so- cieties; and, though perhaps the oldest church in the county but one, it is still one of the youngest in pro- gressive spirit, service and zeal for the Master's cause.
The following are the names of the pastors of the church, and their terms of service: George Spratt, 1839- 1845; Abijah Sherwood, 1845-50; George W. Stone, 1850. 52; D. P. Maryatt, 1852 60; N. L. Reynolds, 1860-65; G. P. Watrous, 1865-73. From 1873 to 1875 the church had no settled pastor, being supplied from Mansfield and Blossburg. Elder E. S. Miller was pastor from 1875 to 1878; Elder Ross Ward, 1878-81; since then Elder S. F. Mathews.
The Baptist Sunday-school was instituted January Ist 1881. Uriah Ferguson became superintendent, assisted by Mrs. A. L. Meeker, Miss Lelia Hoagland, Mrs. L. A. Holden, Miss Lina Ferguson, Fred. M.
Patchen, Mrs. Emma Barber, Mrs. Uriah Ferguson, and M. C. Adams as teachers. The number of scholars in attendance is 120. The Bible class is taught by the superintendent. The school is held every Sabbath, in the church, commencing at 12 o'clock, and is supplied with papers and a fine library of books. It is also furnished with maps, charts and a large blackboard. The sessions are very interesting and instructive, and a means of much good to the community and church. The officers are: Uriah Ferguson, superintendent; Miss Mate Harding, secretary; E. E. Phelps, librarian; Fred. M. Patchen, treasurer.
First Presbyterian Church .-- At a regular meeting of the congregation at Covington enjoying the ministerial services of Rev. Julius Doane, July 27th 1841, Rev. Samuel M. Hopkins of Corning, N. Y., delivered a dis- course on the " Ministration of the Spirit " from II Cor- inthians 3 x. Rev. Samuel Storrs Howe of Painted Post, N. Y., led in devotional exercises, after which, due notice having been given of the intended organization of a church, all persons interested were requested to remain for that purpose. Rev. S. M. Hopkins acted as moder- ator, and Rev. S. S. Howe as clerk. The business being laid before the meeting it was resolved that a church be formed under the name of the First Presbyterian Church of Covington. The following persons therefore presented letters of dismission and recommendation: Joel Hark- ness, Hubbard Clarke, Mrs. Eunice Clarke, William Clarke, Mrs. Sarah Clarke, and Silas C. Perry, from the Richmond Presbyterian church; Miss Lucy Putnam, Williamsburgh; Mrs. Eliza Kress, of Wilkes-Barre; Isaac Baker and Mrs. Elizabeth Baker, of Southport, N. Y. On balloting for ruling elders Joel Harkness and Hubbard Clarke were declared elected. It was resolved that the Presbytery of Chemung, formerly a part of the Presbytery of Bath, be requested to take this church under its care, and that the Rev. Julius Doane present this request at the next meet- ing of the presbytery. In the evening, after a sermon by Rev. S. S. Howe and the explanation of the duties of the eldership by Rev. S. M. Hopkins, the elders elect were duly set apart by ordination. The church was duly taken under the care of the Presbytery of Chemung at the session of that body on February 2nd 1842.
The ministers who have preached here have been Revs. Julius Doane, O. Fitch, E. B. Benedict, J. A. Rosseel, G. D. Meigs and Rev. Mr. Carter. Since the organiza- tion of the church there have been 135 members and 67 baptisms.
Among the early elders of the church were Joel Hark- ness, Hubbard Clarke, Aaron Harrison, David Caldwell, B. J. Guernsey and Hiram Zimmer.
The first meetings of the church were held in a build- ing known as " The Seminary," situated on the west side of the Tioga River, but the congregation soon erected the church edifice in which it now worships.
April 7th 1878, the roll of the church being purged, there was found to be a membership of 10 persons, after a discontinuance of nearly seven years. The pres- ent pastor is the Rev. Mr. Carter. The church has been

Union Sunday-School .- One of the greatest auxiliaries to the several churches of Covington for a long period was the union Sunday-school, which the children of the various denominations attended. For many years Miss Lucy Putnam, a sister of the late General Putnam, was superintendent, devoting her energies, talent and money to its maintenance. Hundreds of the youth were guided by her pious and watchful care in the way of Christian duty. She has gone to her reward, but the precepts she implanted in the minds of the children, now men and women, will bear fruit for years to come. Although she loved the church of which she was an honored and cherished member, still her school was free from sec- tarianism. The sessions were held alternately for a year at each of the several churches.
SCHOOLS.
The residents of Covington early took an interest in public schools. As early as 1815 teachers were employed by the public to instruct the children, and previous to that time the mother or eldest daughter of the family gave instruction to the children of one, two and some- times three or four households. In 1815 a public school was organized, and in 1816 a school-house was built on the east side of the Tioga River. It was about 20 by 24 feet, one story high, and stood on or near the site of the borough graded school.
In 1841 Professor Julius Doane who was born in 1800, in Vermont, and received a classical education at Castleton in that State established a high school or seminary at Covington on the west side of the river, with Miss Lucy Putnam as preceptress. Instruction was given in the languages, higher mathematics, music, etc. There were about seventy students in attendance. The school was maintained three years, when Professor Doane left and taught in a similar institution at Wysox, Brad- ford county, where he remained two years. He now resides in Covington, in the Sand year of his age, his mind strong and vigorous; and for the past twenty years has been postmaster at that place.
The graded school has been conducted during the past year by Professor W. S. Farrer and Miss Lelia E. Hoagland, with marked success. It is well supplied with blackboards, maps, charts, and other aids to the teachers. The average attendance is about one hundred.
The officers of the borough school board are: [. W. Horton, president; O. G. Gerould, secretary; Frederick M. Patchen, treasurer; V. M. Levalley, Solomon Blanch- ard and Michael Dailey, directors.
LODGES AND ASSOCIATIONS.
L. D. Taylor, Hugh McCabe, N. A. Elliott, Philemon Doud and Alonzo A. Noble. There have been over 400 members. This lodge has probably furnished more charter members for other lodges than any other lodge in the county, including those going to Liberty, Bloss, Mans- field, Daggett's Mills and Sullivan. Among the names of the members will be found those of some of the most prominent citizens of this section of the county. Among the past grands are the following:
Theobald Miller, George W. Boothe, Benjamin Kress, Ira Day, O. F. Taylor, L. D. Taylor, Hugh MeCabe, Jacob Whitman, Matthew Skelley, Charles S. Videan, H. Whitman, John L. Lee, John Lang, D. W. Gitchell, Charles Jacques, John Calvin Bennett, J. B. Husted, A. M. Spencer, Ira Patchen, Thomas Videan, I. P. Keltz, Edwin Dyer, S. L. Barber, L. K. Spencer, S. B. Cochran, T. B. Goodenough, David Caldwell, H. M. Gerould, F. J. Caldwell, William Butler, G. M. Butler, G. Fuller, L. R. Walker, O. G. Gerould, D. S. Ireland sen., D. S. Ire- land jr., S. F. Richards, G. W. Keltz, V. O. Spencer, F. M. Spencer, A. B. Bryan, H. R. Bryan, Jacob Hartman, H. J. Marvin, Joseph H. Harmon, J. M. Evarts, Miles G. Lee, H. Levalley, George W. Johnson, Milton R. Walker, A. M.

Forest, D. S. Lafrance, E. R. Meeker.
The present officers are. G. M. Butler, N. G .; J C. Bennett, V. G .; O. G. Gerould, secretary; J. Hartman, treasurer; E. L. Howland, R. S. to N. G .; G. H. Coe, L. S. to N. G .; G. W.

The lodge owns a large and convenient building, two stories high, the lower story being used for a public hall and place ot holding elections and the upper story for lodge purposes, being neatly furnished and equipped. Recently an addition has been built, 20 by 38, two stor- ies, the lower portion of which is used for a hall and dining room and the upper portion for lodge purposes by other organizations, Daughters of Rebekah, Knights of Labor, etc.
The lodge is out of debt and has a surplus fund on hand. Its membership is 60, and the total assets of the lodge are about $3,500. It has furnished district deputy grand masters to this district for about 17 years-H. M. Gerould serving five years, G. M. Butler four years, and O. G. Gerould eight years. As near as can be ascertain- ed the lodge has expended for sick benefits, funerals and donations since its organization $3,537-73, divided as follows: Sick benefits, 82,289.04; funerals, $615.78; donations, 8032.91. The lodge has once been burned out, and when this fact is taken into account, as well as the continued loss of membership by removal, the old mother lodge, No. 274, presents a fair showing.
Covington Lodge, No. 274, I. O. O. F. was instituted August roth 1848. The officers were: N. G., Theobald Miller; V. G., Ellis Gamble; secretary, George W. Emma Colfax Rebekah Lodge, No. 15, 1. O. O.

DELMAR TOWNSHIP.
BY JOHN L. SEXTON JR.

The soil of the township is well adapted to the raising of corn, oats, barley, buckwheat and tobacco, and on new land wheat; and cannot be excelled for grass, which en- ables the farmers to raise fine cattle, horses and sheep, and make the choicest quality of butter and cheese, com- manding a high price at Wellsboro or New York city. The soil is also very productive in the orchard fruits, found.

There are two small hamlets in the township, Stony Fork, in the southern portion, in the valley of Stony Fork, and Stokesdale, in the northern portion, a mile and a half north of Wellsboro. There is a post-office at each of these places, and at the latter place a large tannery.

The quarry is on the land of C. and J. L. Robinson and the estate of the late Job Wilcox. Immense quantities of glass sand- rock are also found in the township, covering a large area, besides flagging stone. Many of the large forests of pine which originally were within its limits have dis- appeared, and the recent demand for hemlock bark is clearing away all the hemlock timber, which but a few years since was found in great quantities.
