Now York, when jf was yet a swall British eolomy, 'alse in company with Philip Embury, the first Methodist local preacher, ond class leader in America. It was at the strong urg ings and solicitations of Barbary Heck that Philip Embury, who baa heén a docal preacher under John Wesley in Ireland. was induced to progeh the first Methodist sermon in his 'owt humble dwelling in New York; and from the first class. The joy of Palatines of which the Em- arys, the Hecks, and: probably the Dulmages, contributed a part, lft frolanc in 1760; and it was in 17664 that the first memorable meeting was held in New York, already referred to on Baresck street, New York. Out of that first small Methodist congrega- tion soon grew one large enough to warrant the building of the old John street Methodist church, or chapel, the first in Americe. The Emburys and Hecks, who hand been farmers and = country people in Irélana, soon resolved to leave New York, which was then becoming quite a town, and settle on farms up the Hudson river, near Troy, at what was popularly known at one Sime as "the Embury Settlement," where they again founded the first Methodist so: cioty. There Philip Kmbury died. John' Dulmage and his wife, the grand-par- ents of the subject of the presont sketch, were among 'the | members of that small eommunity, and: for years after the histories of these fantilies, abe Meeks, the Embiwrys and the Dul- mages--are intimately connected.

John Lawrence, who appedrs all along to have been intim- ately associat with the Emburys, went along and was married to Philip Embury's widow, They reared also a family, and their descendants are yet quite numerous in the vicinity of the township of Augusta, near Prescott. h "these faniilies soon moved trom Montreal.

In 1816, George V., to whom these rough notes refer, was born, and all hs early years spent. in Kingston. He has still » very clear remembrance of those early years apd many of the men who werd lending spirits in the small communi: ty, at that time. Kingston in his ear. ly days was quite a small village, without sidewalks, or even well-grad- od streets, or market, or very much machinery in the shape of a local' government. He says: 'I remember among the early tavern keepers--they were not known as hotels then--Ro- bert Walker, Olcott, and Mileord. - 1 also knew Kerby, Markland and * Ma- daulay. Among. the early merchants I remember were William Wilson (who; later on, built the large cut stone block on the corner opposite where the -"'Golden. Lion" now stands), and his brother Thomas = Wilson, whowe store was on - Princess street. They both came from England and 'lived and died in Kingston. The surveyors ki remember were Rorison, Baker and ilborne. The market olérks, Murdoek und Thomas. I well remember = John Counter, who became mayor and. a very popular man. He first had a small hake shop and a candy store, The principal pewspeper men of my early. days were Hugh C. Thompson, who was editor and publisher of The Chronicle and he became a member if the upper house, and Stephen Miles, who printed and edited the Gaszetic for many years. He afterwards be- came a Methodist travelling preach er, and died © among his descendants in' Ernesttown, afier his superannua- tion. Mr. Stoughton was the leading silversmith for many years. I remem- ber the Murneys of Mwney Point and Molson and Morton, distillers. Mr. Morton was onte elected to the Upper: Canada legislature for Fronte nae county, and became a very weal thy man. The reinains of his distillery are yet standing mear the penitenti- ary. 1 remember the Benson family ; Thomas kept o store opposite Mo- wat's corer; Hemry and Jobn were tavins; their only sister married Pr. Dixon; all have passed away. There were in these early days a good many soldiers across the river at the fort at Barviefield, but no bridge. The troops had a' large secow, with a rope reaching from shore to shore; the men used to pull at that rope and so get the scow and their horses and freight across the river. The other men would often pull themselves across in a Jarre ferry boat. The bridge, 1 think, was built by a company some time in the twenties, and was then a great convenience. It was then on the main travelled road from Kingston to Brockville and all points east. A man named Rogers was appointed to build the bridge. My first teachers were a man named 'Gillson, an Irishman, and Dr. Gunn, with whom I studied latin; then with Mr, * Balfour. These were all well known teachers in their time, but the nuuiber of their scholars were ew Mr. Dulmage was a school teacher for about a quarter of a century and wielded the rod in the townships of Eruosttown, + Camden, Storrington and other places.

It is the dependent man who is the weakling. 1 The true success of life lies in for etting seli and helping those in need. fo be successiul Prof. McComb seid, the graduates must believe in their coiling, even when things look dis- couraging. They must be workers too.

He warned them pot to forget the spirit ual and intellectual. in the merely waical, If wv did forges; then all their skill would fail in the diseases that lie deeper than the physical art. "Be faithful, scli-denying and loyal servants of humanity," were Prof. Mc Comb's concluding words. Principal Grant also spoke, and was warmly applanded. . He first conveyed the regrets of the Jowd bishop of On: sario at_being upable to be 'presen' The principal then proceeded to make a confession. .
