Did the First Presbyterian Church receive Home Mission aid ?
The Records do not fully answer this question. Our church joined the Presbytery of Belvidere, (New School, ) in 1852. About twelve years later there is record of an application for $200.00 Home Mission aid made to the Home Mission committee of that Presbytery. Mrs. Alice A. Beach (widow of Rev. David E. Beach, D. D.,) writes: "I distinctly remember my hus- band decided that the two Presbyterian churches of Beloit, Old School and New School, ought to unite because both were then being aided by Home Mission funds." That aid seems to have been received for only a short period, before which time, as well as afterwards, the church was self sup- porting.
Church Manuals.
Our first church manual, prepared by Rev. C. P. Bush, January, 1858, with a brief confession and covenant, gives these church officers :
Elders : Benjamin Brown, Augustine J. Battin, Harvey Graves, Asahel Clark, Joseph Wadsworth, Stephen O. Humphrey, Archimides Baldwin. Deacons : Henry Mears, Aaron Watson, Elijah N. Clark, Chas. W. Taylor. Trustees : E. N. Clark, Gilbert E. Collins, Aaron Davenport. Treasurer : E. N. Clark. Clerk : A. J. Battin. Collector : A. Baldwin. Superin- tendent of Sabbath school : Elijah N. Clark.
The whole number received up to that time was 305 and the member- ship is given as 216.
The second manual, which was issued by Rev. J. McLean, January, 1880, records :

Andrew Hutchison was librarian of S. S. with Miss Abbie E. Long, assistant. A. R. Peck, chorister, H. P. Williams, assistant.
The list of members, which then included five charter members num- bered 175.
No church manual has been published since 1880.
The present officers (July, 1900) are : Elders : E. N. Clark, M. D., A. P. Waterman, H. B. Johnson, M. D., J. E. Houston, E. C. Helm, M. D., Prof. G. A. Tawney, Ph.D., clerk of session, L.

The Vacant Chair.
(From a recent photograph.)
This study chair was made in Bellona, N. Y., about 1843 and has never needed any repairs. On its broad arm, which has been improved with a leather covering, Rev. Alfred Eddy wrote all his sermons. The cup-shaped object is his sand box, used instead of a blotter. Although a vacant chair in one sense, it is still used in the family of the son, A. D. Eddy, at Chicago. Three generations have written letters on that "old arm chair." May its hallowed and happy asso- ciations last for at least three generations more.

The Riggs Family Fleeing from Indians.
From Washington, D. C., Mrs. H. E. Warner sends me by request an explanation of the group (p. 180), who were escaping from the indians in 1862. (The cut is repeated here for convenience of reference. )
In the middle front are Mrs. Riggs and her daughter Anna (Mrs. War- ner), the latter wear_ ing a striped shawl. The youth reclining between them is Thomas Riggs, and the man immedi- ately behind him. Mr. Jonas Petti john, a former mis- sionary but then a teacher in govern- ment school. The lady in profile just back of them is the bride, Mrs. D. W. Moore. The young lady kneading cakes is Martha Riggs; next to her is Mrs. Cunningham, wearing a sun-bonnet, and next, just above Anna, appears Henry Riggs, who is pouring water into the flour sack. Martha Riggs became Mrs. W. K. Morris.
On the upper line of figures, the third front the right is Mr. Andrew Hunter, and the lady standing before a wheel is his wife, a daughter of Dr. Thomas S. Williamson. Just below her in the view is Rev. Dr. Riggs, seated on the ground, and next to him, a little lower, Miss Isabella Riggs, (who became Mrs. Williams and went as a foreign missionary to Kalgan, North China). The man seated facing her, and just raising his right hand to his mouth, is Mr. D. Wilson Moore, with Albert Pettijohn at his left.
Behind Mrs. Riggs reclines Mr. Cunningham, then of the Dacotah mis- sion, and over his right shoulder appears Miss Cunningham, who had been a teacher in the mission school.
Seated at the extreme left is the wounded man, Mr. Orr, and at the extreme right is Mrs. Pettijohn with her two little children. The girl in the very front at left is Sophie Robertson, of part indian parentage, and somewhere in the party there was also a baby.
The men, not named, in the upper line, were Germans, four of whom left the party two days afterwards and were killed by the indians.
Our veteran attorney, S. J. Todd, Esq., tells me that the act of legisla- ture, which authorized the erection of the first bridge at Beloit, is to be found on page 53 of the General Laws of the Territory of Wisconsin for 1842.
NOTE. (See page 168.) In 1850, out of one hundred Presbyterian and Congregational ministers (serving 126 churches), in Wisconsin, seventy-five were receiving Home Mission aid.
xxxiv.
First Presbyterian Preacher.
The first Protestant preacher in Wisconsin, after Miner and Marsh, seems to have been Rev. Alvin Coe. He was an ordained Presbyterian min- ister and missionary to the indians, who, on his way up the Mississippi in 1829 (or 1830) spent a Sunday and preached in Prairie du Chien. At that place also in July 1830, religious services were conducted by Rev. Aratus Kent, (who afterwards stood in our Beloit pulpit, see pp. 51 and 52), and he ap- pears to have held occasional services there for several years.
In 1834 Rev. David Lowry organized a Cumberland Presbyterian church in Prairie du Chien, which became plain Presbyterian in 1842 and Congre- gational in 1856. That was the church of which Rev. Jeremiah Porter was made pastor in 1866. In the summer of 1868, while supplying that pulpit a sunday during his absence, the writer learned of these earlier days from Mrs. Porter.
The Stockbridge Indians.
The Stockbridges, formerly called Mohegans, were a tribe of Indians who while living at Stockbridge, in south-western Massachusetts, began Christian life with the mission that was established among them in 1734. Their first missionary, John Sargeant, was succeeded in 1751 by the after- wards celebrated Jonathan Edwards, who while serving them and amid the dangers of the French and Indian war, wrote there his famous work on the Freedom of the Will.
Their missionary just before they moved to Wisconsin was another John Sargeant, grandson of the first. His successor was the Rev. Jesse Miner, mentioned in my account, page 158. (Davidson, in his Unnamed Wisconsin, devotes 73 pages, pp. 73-145, to the interesting history of that tribe. )
Mr. E. M. Gammon (p. 183), a present member of the First Presbyterian Church, Beloit, has a son Charles in the midst of the China tumult. The following communication from that son explains itself :
(Special to the Times-Herald, Chicago.)
VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 1, 1900 .- A copy of the Nagasaki Press, brought in by the steamship Glenoble to-day, contains an interview with Charles F. Gammon, superintendent of the American Bible Society in China, who arrived at Nagasaki shortly before the Glenoble sailed.
Mr. Gammon, who was at Tien-Tsin during the early days of the fight- ing there, says that 700 Russian troops held 14,000 Chinese at bay twelve days while the city was being shelled and until the arrival of re-enforce- ments. The gallantry of the Russians, Mr. Gammon declares, saved the lives of all the foreign residents of Tien-Tsin.
Mr. Gammon says that the white nien in the city had so far given over hope of relief that they appointed certain of their number to shoot the white women and children, at the last moment to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Chinese.
XXXV.
The Early Times Band.
In 1842 David Merrill led it with a bugle. R. P. Crane managed the base drum, and photographer Wilkinson, " Old Wilk," beat the snare drum. Marvin and Horace Hill were fifers and John Curtis played the clarionet.
When the corner stone of Beloit College was laid, June 24, 1847, a pro- cession formed at the Bushnell House (north-east corner of State and School Streets), and marched up to the grounds, led by this band.
According to my boyhood remembrance, our best violinist in the 50s, was Ellery B. Crane.
A Fish Crust.
The tailpiece on page 220 shows two tails and there is a third, invisible but true. While my family were occupying a cabin at Camp Columbia, Lake Kegonsa, (near Madison, Wis.) August, 1898, R. caught a rock bass, six and a half inches long, one afternoon, tied a piece of common white twine through its mouth and gills and fastening the twine to a post of our pier, left the fish to swim in the water over night so that it might be fresh for breakfast. On going next morning for the little bass he saw that something larger was dashing about in the water. Carefully loosening the string he pulled it up and lifted out a striped bass about nineteen inches long. During the night that big fish had swallowed the little one head first, and the back fin spines of the rock bass, like the barb of a hook, had held it. That the big bass did not break that common wrapping twine was probably due to the pain caused by any attempt to pull off. A deputy fish warden, who saw me sketching the fish and learned the facts, acknowledged that this case did not come under the law against set lines because there was no hook on that string.
That Dillingham Law Suit.
As an interesting fact, which is not on the records, it may be noted that the case of Dillingham vs. Fisher (see p. 44) brought out the opinions of several of the most eminent jurists in America.
Dillingham was Governor of Vermont, and his lawyer (and son-in-law), Matt. H. Carpenter, afterwards a Senator of the United States, procured for him on this case the opinion of the celebrated Rufus Choate of Boston. Fisher's lawyer, James R. Doolittle, also afterwards a United States Senator, obtained for his side the opinion of Judge David Davis, (who became a Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States), and through Davis got the opinion of Abraham Lincoln, (which S. J. Todd, Esq., says he has seen.)
The contest was important for us because it involved the security of our homes; but to have such celebrated minds concentrated on it, gave this village case unusual dignity and interest.
