ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NINTH REG- IMENT .- The troops comprising this regiment (nine months' service, drafted militia) were from the counties of Berks, Lancaster, Pike and Wayne. They were organized in companies at periods ranging from October 23, 1862, to the 6th of December. On December 8th an organization was effected, with the following field officers : William H. Blair, colonel ; Dan- iel M. Yost, lieutenant-colonel ; William H. Yerkes, major. Soon after the organization it proceeded to Fortress Monroe, and thence to Yorktown. It did little else than garrison duty until the last of July, when it joined the move- ment with General Dix up the Peninsula. Upon its return to camp it was ascertained Lee had invaded Pennsylvania, and, though its term of service was about to expire, by the unani- mous vote of the men, their further services were tendered to Governor Curtin as long as it should be needed for the defense of the State. The of- fer was accepted, but by the time the regiment had reached Washington the rebel army had retreated to Virginia. It was accordingly or- dered to Harrisburg, and was mustered out on July 27th.

CHAPTER VIII.
Leading and Characteristic Industries-The Tanning Inter- est-Lumbering-The First Raft Sent Down the Dela- ware-Bee-Keeping.
AGRICULTURE is, of course, the leading indus- try of Wayne County, and it is treated of to some extent elsewhere. The peculiar and prominent industries next in importance may be said to be lumbering, tanning and bee-keeping. The tan- nery interest has been a very large one and is still of considerable importance. It is also one of the oldest industries carried on in the region.
Previous to 1830 there were but three tanner- ies in Wayne County. One of these was located in Canaan township and managed by Samuel Rodgers ; another was situated in Mount Pleas- ant, and owned by Asa Smith ; the remaining one was located in Bethany, under the supervis- ion of Deacon Olmstead. The business of these tanneries was of a purely local nature, both the raw material being procured and the finished leather disposed of in the immediate vicinity. In 1826 Major Jason Torrey visited Montrose for the purpose of attending to some business relating to the Milford and Owego turnpike. While there he was favorably impressed with the prospects of a town to be built at the west- ern terminus of the Delaware and Hudson Ca-
nal. By explaining to Isaac P. Foster, a di- rector of the Milford and Owego turnpike, the probable business opportunities of this prospect- ive town, he induced Foster to go there and commence business in company with himself. The following year Foster came to Dyberry Forks, erected a shanty and opened a store. This store was located on the " point " opposite the head of Third Street. At that time Samuel Kimble had cleared a small space in the vicinity of the present site of the National Hotel, on Sec- ond Street, where he and his family lived in a log house. With this single exception, all the land below the West Branch, comprising what is now the larger portion of the borough of Honesdale, was a wilderness. Above the Lack- awaxen Major Torrey endeavored to effect a clearing. With this object in view, a gang of men, under the superintendence of Jonathan Bidwell, were employed by him to cut down the forest. At the time of the erection of the store there was only one building in the immediate vicinity. This was a large, barn-like structure, also situated on the "point," built and used as a boarding-house for the wood-cutters. Mr. Torrey's residence was in Bethany. While pur- suing his business at Dyberry Forks he occupied one corner of this building for an office. This. building was afterwards converted into a house for public worship, and was known as the " Old Tabernacle." The celebrated Lorenzo Dow, during a visit to Honesdale, occupied its pulpit.
