keeIy's Motor.

The Keely motor was a machine in
vented by John w. Keely Of Philadel-
phia, which he claimed was capable Of
generating its own power without cost.
1t was described by himself in the
high sounding term as a pneumatic
pulsating-vacua engine. So successful
was Keely IN manipulating the ma
chine and conceallng the real agent by
which it Nas operated that many capt.
talists were induced to put thousands
of dollars in it. Scientific men always
regarded il with extreme suspicion,
and after the death Of Keely in 1899 1t
was found to have been operated by
compressed air supplied from a o
cealed tank.

ture, and served several years as
judge in the county court beside
many minor yet important services
for which, as we'll as for his patient
endurance of the hardships and pri-
vations incident go p oneer life, he
deserves the grateful remembrance
of Those who r nc reaping the
benefits of his self-denying Iabors.
Mr.. Gates had three children, all of
them settled in their native town.
Samuel, the oldest, and the only one
of the children now living, was born
in 1888, and is now an old man of
fourscore years. Honored and loved
by all, kind, benevolent and honest
in all his dealings, as we'll as earnest
and faithful in the discharge of
every Christian duty, he has borne
we'll his part in the drama of life.
AS deacon of the Congregational
church he has done much for it's ad-
vancement and support. Brought
up amid the rough wear and tear
common to new settlements, he can
tell many a tale of privation, danger,
and hardy endurance which the
young men of this day know nothing
of by experience. His wife still
lives to cheer his declining years, ard
the aged couple reside within sight
of their old homestead. Of their
children, only one remains in her
native town, Catharine, wife of
Nathaniel W. French, in whose fam
lily the venerable parents find a COM
t rtable home.
William, the second son of the
Revolt ionary hero, was a man of
wide influence. Possessed of talents
and great energy, he early became a
man of distinction in his county and
held many important offices. He
died in 1912, at the age of Sc, deeply
regretted by a wide circle of friends.
Catharine, the only daughter and
youngest child of the subject of this
sketch, "a born in 1888, married
DR.. Theron Webb, the resident
physician of the place, and lived and
died i'll her native town.
Sucn is a short history of the life
and character of one of the early
inhabitants of Lunenburgh and of
his descendants. Enjoying as we do
at this day the beauties, pleasures
and comforts of our quiet Vernon
homes, we are too apt to forget tFC
hard, self-denying labors of those
who have made it what it is-our
own glorious New England.

SKETCH OF THE CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH AND SOCIETY.
BY Rev. William 1wall.

BY Rev. William S4wal.
The first religious associated
movement in Lunenburgh was made
by the Congregationalists as early
as 1900. At that time, the first
Westinghouse was built. 1t W s
not dedicated until 1902. In Deem
Der OF that year the first Congrega-
tional society was formed, and
among its earliest votes we find
these: That the members of this
society are DESTROYS of settling a
minister" and That the Rev. John
Willard shall be the person on whom
our minds shall meet" The society
conferred with Mr.. Willard, and an
arrangement mutually satisfactory
was made for his sett cement, 1t
may not be un~interesting, as it ce :
tainIy will be a matter of curiosity,
t. insert here some of the items in
Ihe contract made with Mr.. Willard
by the people at that time.
The first is merely with regard to
the right of land which should be
his, as the first settled minister in
the the town.
Second, ITO raise by subscrip-
ton a sum sufficient to defray the
expenses of sending three sleighs
and three spans of horses and suita-
bic persons to drive the same for the
purpose of assisting in removing h S
family and effects from Conne,t icut
(Statford), to this town."
Fifth. He shall receive for his
first years salary one hundred and
SlXty-siX dollars to he assessed on the
grand i.st OF 1903, AMI tn u to Use
In proportion as the lis" Of ratable
property Of those who are liable to
pay his salary rises, for the term of
SIX years or until it amounts to two
hu d .ed,Hnd 4ixty-six dollars. A d
if itshouId not rise to the said sum
of two hundred and sixty-six dollars
in that ime, and this society should
not be willing to establish his salary
at the said sum, then and ir that
case, this society agree that the said
Mr.. Willard shall not be considered
(unless he chooses) any longer our
gospel minister. Two-thirds of the
above mentioned sums to be paid in
good merchantable wheat, at the
current prices annually" (the rest
