GRANVILLE, n. Y.-AbOut fifteen years
ago, a small number of emigrants from
Wales, came and settled in Granville, N.
Y, and began to work slate quarry.
Now the businest and Welsh community
have so much increased, that this popu
lation numbers from eight hundred to a
thousand. They are a highly respected
and religious people have two quite
large and active evangelical churches
Zone Congregational and the other Pres
byterian, each having a native settled
pastor and maintain the Institutions Of
the Gospel with earnestness and fidelity.
Their rigid Christian morality is above
the common standard. Their watchful
care over their members is commend
able. For instance, if any Of their
youth go to live in other communities,
even for few months, they always
carry with them a record Of the church
relations, or an earnest appeal from their
pastor to the pastor Of the church to
which they 90, to watch over and labor
for them in their absence from home.
