POST-OFFICE.
-
The following is a list of the postmasters of West- port since the incorporation of the town in 1835:
Ira Baldwin, Hezekiah Nichols, George L. Cable, John W. Taylor, Solomon G. Taylor, George L. Cable, Edward M. Lees, John S. Jones, Henry P. Burr, William E. Nash.
In 1827 the quarterly return of the Westport post- master to the general post-office, of newspapers and pamphlets received, showed the receipt to be one daily, eight semi-weekly, and twenty-one weekly papers, three monthly publications, and one quarterly. The daily paper was the New York Mercantile Adver- tiser ; the semi-weekly, three copies of the National Intelligencer, of Washington City, and five of the New York Spectators; the twenty-one weeklies were about

one-half of a religious character, and were published in different places ; two of the three monthly pam- phlets were the African Repository, published at Wash- ington, in and of the Colonization Society, and one the Ladies' Repository; the quarterly was an English publication. A post-rider probably distributed some sixty to seventy weekly papers at the houses of the inhabitants. If the number be seventy, then the whole number of papers for the year, by mail and post, would be five thousand and eighty-four, and probably the pamphlets would make about twelve hundred pages, and we have the whole newspaper and pamphlet reading-matter of the town at that time.

"The abstract of the lists of taxable property in the town of Westport," says the late Alva Gray, "re- turned by the assessors for 1871, shows under the head of pleasure wagons and carriages the sum of twenty- five thousand seven hundred and forty-five dollars, which is probably not more than one-third of the actual value of this description of property. What the value of carriages and wagons might have beeu in 1809 I have no means of knowing, but believe it could not have exceeded three thousand dollars. Eight old-fashioned gigs, of tlic value of one hundred and fifty dollars each, comprised the sum total of tax- able carriages. One-horse wagons were hardly known ; a two-horse coach was a curiosity, only in the reach of some aristocrat of great wealth. I remember one only, that of old Isaac Bronson, of Greenfield, and when at a brigade training ou Coley's Plains, I think in that year, Bronson's coach, driven by special per- mission within the lines, attracted as much attention as the soldiers. The first one-horse wagon I can recol- lect was owned by Capt. Ebenezer Coley about 1806 or 1807, made by Ephraim Sauford, of Reading, tlien the only wagon-maker in this section. Capt. Coley was a very large man, weighing probably two hundred and fifty pounds, and as he grew old, had his wagon made for his special use,-low and wide, the seat on rollers, so that he could with ease be rolled in and out by his negro men, of whom he had four or five. This description of vehicles did not get into general use before about 1830. There was little travel except on horseback before that time. A stage-coach, carry- ing the mail and a few passengers, passed daily through our village, and a passage to New York could be had for three dollars, leaving here about five o'clock P.M., and reaching the city about the same hour in the morning."
INCIDENT.
Westport has had many enterprising inhabitants, one of whom descrves special notice. About the year 1832, Mr. Daniel Platt, a very energetic man, carrying on the carriage business in this place at that time, determined on building a barn complete in one day. Mr. Stephen Nash, a man of like energy (who is now living, and over eighty years of age), was selected as the carpenter. Mr. Nash took the plan, and after surveying its dimensions promised to take the job in
hand and have it completed at the required time. He was told to select his men and be ready such a day. The barn was to be 26 by 36 feet. The timber, lumber, shingle, nails, and ten gallons "Old Jamaica" were on hand. Mr. Nash engaged the services of nine carpenters, and sixteen farmers, who knew what work was, and on the day appointed were all on hand, and the work commenced. The frame was hewed, mortised, and put up; sided, roof shingled, two pair large doors and five small ones made, hinges, hooks, and staples made, put on, and doors hung; gutters and leaders put up, and tlie barn painted throughout, the floors laid, six shocks of rye threshed out, the grain cleaned up and taken to mill, the flour returned, and Mrs. Platt had biscuit for tea made of the same, enough to accommodate all present. Time con- sumed, ten hours. The barn is in good condition and still standing on the premises of Mr. F. B. Morehouse, on West Avenuc.
