However, business began with eighteen subscribers, each paying thirty-six dollars a year. Eight miles of wire had been strung for the accommodation of the patrons. The switch-board used was the work of Professor Quimby of Dartmouth college, and was his first attempt at such experiments. In 1881 Concord was connected with

Manchester, Lowell, and other localities, for by that time the tele- phone had become a part of every-day life.
The introduction of the electric light for street and domestic use came somewhat later in the decade, for it was about the middle of April, 1886, that A. S. Hammond and others began experiments with incandescent lighting. Mr. Hammond was a well-known mer- chant of Concord, and had retired from business to give his atten- tion to electric illumination. His first machine was of the Thomson- Houston manufacture, with capacity for some seventy-five lights, and was set up in a building on Bridge strect. Improvements rapidly followed, and along with them came the larger companies to carry on the business ; but to Mr. Hammond must be ascribed the honor of starting electric lighting in Coneord. It was not long before thirty- five lights were maintained by merchants along Main street and its vicinity.
THE IROQUOIS AND MOHAWKS.
In an early chapter of this history, mention was made of a battle between the Penacooks and Mohawks, fought on the soil of Concord. The aggressive party in that affair which took place at the Penacook fort on Sugar Ball bluff, by the Merrimack, came from beyond the Hudson, and belonged to the Iroquois race of Indians. This race was especially comprised in the confederated Six Nations of New York. The confederacy originally bore the name Five Nations, being composed of Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas ; but, at a comparatively modern date, the Tuscaroras were incorporated as the sixth member. The confederation had its fixed abode in advantageous situation along the beautiful valley stretching westward from the Hudson river to the "Genesee country." It early extended its power over a broad expanse of territory : south, to Georgia; west, to the Mississippi; north, into Canada, along the Great Lakes and the river St. Lawrence; and east, into New England. The name of these Indians, whether they were called Iroquois, Maquas, or Mohawks, was a terror to the red men of other races, dwelling or roaming near by or far away. And yet their numbers were never large; and, probably, the estimate of twenty- five hundred warriors, denoting a total population of twelve thou- sand, is fairly approximate to the truth. But under the conditions of Indian life and warfare, with the strength of union, with unusual politieal wisdom, and remarkable warlike activity, the Six Nations were of the mightiest among the Indians of North America.
Upon European oceupation in the seventeenth century, the Six Nations became, and generally remained, hostile to France and

friendly to England, and in the colonial wars, sided accordingly. In the War of the Revolution, they were with England and against the thirteen colonies. But before the close of the struggle, they were terribly requited for their deeds of bloody violence in the past, and effectually placed out of power to do likewise in the future. For, in September, 1779, General John Sullivan, of New Hampshire, with a competent force, following the instructions of George Wash- ington, laid utterly waste the home of the Six Nations, who fied before the avenging fire-fled scattering never to return, never to be reunited. But the interesting fact remains here to be noted, that, one hundred years after that terrifie dispersion of the tribes, no fewer than twelve thousand persons of Iroquois lincage, " broken into groups, were living on reservations or under agencies," in the United States and Canada.
Gookin, a reliable historian, wrote, in 1674, of the Iroquois, as follows: "These Maquas are given to rapine and spoil: they had for several years been in hostility with our neighbor Indians, as the Massachusetts, Pawtucketts, Pennacooks-and in truth, they were in time of war so great a terror to all the Indians before named, though ours were far more in number than they, that the appearance of four or five Maquas in the woods would frighten them from their habitations and cornfields and seduce many of them to get together in forts ; by which means they were brought to such straits and poverty that had it not been for the relief of the English, doubtless many of them had suffered famine. . . The Maquas' manner is, in the spring of the year, to march forth in parties several ways, under a captain, and not above fifty in a troop. And when they come near the place that they design to spoil, they take up some secret place in the woods for their general rendezvous-there they divide themselves into small parties, three, four, or five-and go and seek their prey. They lie in ambushments by the path-sides in some secure places, and when they see passengers come, they fire upon them with guns; and such as they kill or wound, they seize on and pillage, and strip their bodies : and then with their knives take off the skin and hair of the scalp of their head, as large as a satin or leather cap; and so, leaving them for dead, they pursue the rest, and take such as they can prisoners, and serve them in the same kind."
Such were the antagonists with whom the Penacooks had to con- tend on the banks of the Merrimack; and there is reason to believe that they elsewhere had fought with the Maquas, and, possibly, under the leadership of the great Penacook chieftain, Passaconaway.
