The first will be a great and total eclipse, on Friday March 15th, at 9h. 28m. morning, but by reason of the moon's south latitude, her shadow will not touch any part of North America. The course of the general eclipse will be from southwest to north- east, from the Pacific Ocean a little west of Chili to the Arabian Gulf and southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The termination of this grand and sublime phenomenon will probably be witnessed from the summit of some of those stupendous monuments of ancient industry and folly, the vast and lofty pyramids on the banks of the Nile in lower Egypt. The principal cities and places that will be to- tally shadowed in this eclipse, are Valparaiso, Mendoza, Cordova, Assumption, St. Salvador and Pernambuco, in South America, and Sierra Leone, Teemboo, Tombucto and Fezzan, in Africa. At each of these places the duration of total darkness will be from one to six minutes, and several of the planets and fixed stars will probably be visible. 2. The other will also be a grand and beautiful eclipse, on Satur- day, September 7th, at 5h. 35m. evening, but on account of the Mnon's low latitude, and happening so late in the afternoon, no part of it will be visible in North America.

  • William Lincoln
    424 American Antiquarian Society. [Oct. WILLIAM LINCOLN. BY CHARLES A. CHASE. IT has been the good fortune of this Society, through the four-score years of its existence, that at every period in its history there has been at least one man who stood forward to render such service as should best promote its interests. Our founder gave his valuable collection of books and newspapers as a nucleus for the library, and bestowed upon us the first library-building as a depository for its treasures and such accretions as it should receive in follow- ing years ; finally crowning his frequent benefactions with rich bequests for its maintenance and perpetuation. In later years, the work has been well kept up ; now by those who were diligent and unwearying in gleaning from every field the choicest grains, to be garnered in the magazine ; now by those whose intelligent munificence has builded a newer and a larger storehouse, or has furnished the means to employ skilful reapers, or to increase the gathered har- vest. Prominent among those to whom the Society must ever be indebted, stands the name of William Lincoln, who gave it his unintermitted attention during his all-too- brief a lifetime. Mr. Lincoln was the brother, and by twenty years the junior, of the Hon. Levi Lincoln, long a Councillor of the Society. Born at Worcester, on September 26, 1802, he • was the seventh and youngest child of that Levi Lincoln who, coming to Worcester in December, 1775, was at once appointed Clerk of the courts which had then just been re-opened, was for four years Judge of Probate, was 1891.] William Lincoln.

  • Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York
    Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York Compiled by R.’.W.’. Gary L. Heinmiller Director, Onondaga & Oswego Masonic Districts Historical Societies (OMDHS) www.omdhs.syracusemasons.com February 2010 Almost all of the land west of the Genesee River, including all of present day Wyoming County, was part of the Holland Land Purchase in 1793 and was sold through the Holland Land Company's office in Batavia, starting in 1801. Genesee County was created by a splitting of Ontario County in 1802. This was much larger than the present Genesee County, however. It was reduced in size in 1806 by creating Allegany County; again in 1808 by creating Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Niagara Counties. Niagara County at that time also included the present Erie County. In 1821, portions of Genesee County were combined with portions of Ontario County to create Livingston and Monroe Counties. Genesee County was further reduced in size in 1824 by creating Orleans County. Finally, in 1841, Wyoming County was created from Genesee County. Considering the history of Freemasonry in Genesee County one must keep in mind that through the years many of what originally appeared in Genesee County are now in one of other country which were later organized from it. Please refer to the notes below in red, which indicate such Lodges which were originally in Genesee County and would now be in another county. Lodge Numbers with an asterisk are presently active as of 2004, the most current Proceedings printed by the Grand Lodge of New York, as the compiling of this data.

  • Samuel Maclay, Colonial Surveyor
    Samuel Maclay, Colonial Surveyor Samuel Maclay was born June 17, 1741 in Lurgan Township, Franklin County, and died October 5, 1811 at his home in Buffalo Township, Union County, Pennsylvania. Maclay was buried on the family farm, a brick wall enclosing the family graveyard. A monument honoring Samuel Maclay was dedicated in October 1906 when Maclay was reinterred at the Dreisbach Church Cemetery, across the road from his 18th century homesite. Several of Maclay's children still lie buried in the family graveyard. Samuel Maclay worked as a surveyor with his older brother William Maclay (a noted surveyor, lawyer and politician) in 1767-68. The Maclays surveyed the Buffalo Valley, and Samuel settled in Buffalo Township. His stone house is down a lane off Dreisbach Church Road. In July 1774, Samuel Maclay and John Lowden were chosen members of the Committee of Correspondence in Buffalo Township. The area had joined in selecting representatives from Northumberland County to the Convention of Deputies, which met in Philadelphia in January 1775. Maclay was lieutenant colonel of a battalion, and delegate with McLanachan, Geddes and Brady to the convention in Lancaster on July 4, 1776, which organized the militia for Pennsylvania. In 1790 Samuel Maclay was chosen to survey streams in northwestern Pennsylvania that might be used for transportation. The survey took months, and covered about one-third of Pennsylvania, to the borders of New York and Ohio. At the election in 1794, the Democratic Republicans defeated the Federalist incumbent in the legislature and elected Samuel Maclay to Congress, where he served from 1795 to 1796.

Present Use: Vehicular bridge. Significance: The Maclay's Mill Twin Bridges are outstanding examples of surviving stone arch bridges constructed by a nineteenth-century designer-craftsperson. Before the appearance of professional engineers and architects during the middle of the nineteenth century, local craftspeople such as Silas Harry were responsible for the design and construction of vernacular bridges such as the Maclay's Mill Twin Bridges. No fewer than six Franklin County stone arch bridges have been attributed to Harry. An active stonemason throughout much of the first half of the nineteenth century, Harry also was responsible for the 1842 reconstruction of the Franklin County courthouse. The Maclay's Mill Twin Bridges were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The bridges are also significant for their association with the Maclay family.
