The Exeter Manufacturing Company was incor- porated June 26, 1827. Nathaniel Gilman, John Taylor Gilman, Bradbury Cilley, Stephen Hanson, John Rogers, Nathaniel Gilman (3d), and Paine Wingate were named in the act of incorporation.
The first meeting was called Jan. 27, 1828, when John Houston was chosen president ; Bradbury Cilley, Mark W. Pierce, John Rogers, and Nathaniel Gilman (3d) were chosen directors ; John Rogers, treasurer ; and John T. Burnham, clerk. The first purchase of the company was made Feb. 12, 1828, of the corpora- tion then known as the "Exeter Mill and Water- Power Company" (not now in existence, merged in the present manufacturing company, charter given
up). The company commenced building April, 1828. Stephen Hanson was building agent.
ally only five thousand spindles, and cost forty dollars per spindle, or two hundred thousand dol- lars. The mill has been increased from time to time until the building of the new mill, when it was increased to twenty thousand spindles,-four hundred and twenty-eight looms. Nathaniel B, March, of Portsmouth, was a prominent director, also Mr. James Johnson, of Boston, of the firm of Johnson & Senall, merchants of Boston, who sold the goods for many years, and had the general direction of the corporation. After the death of Mr. Johnson the firm was changed to Dale Brothers & Co. Mr. Thomas J. Dale was treasurer; Mr. Ebenezer Dale, president, until their deaths in 1871.

The capital then was made $162,500,-250 shares, each $650. The building of the new part cansed a debt that obliged the company to ask for an amend- ment to their charter, which was done July 11, 1876, giving the company the right to issue as much pre- ferred stock-drawing eight per cent .- as of the old, making the present capital $325,000, and changing the par value of the shares from $650 to $50. The monthly payments at the mill are some $6000; the annual consumption of cotton 2500 bales; the product some- thing over 4,000,000 yards per annum of shirting and sheetings, well known to the trade throughout the United States as goods that sell on their past and present good quality, one sale always opening the way for another.
The present officers are as follows: Directors, Ebe- nezer Dale, Nathaniel W. Farwell, Hervey Kent, Thomas Appleton, William J. Dale, Jr .; Ebenezer Dale, president ; Hervey Kent, treasurer and agent.

during the Revolution. His father, also born at Portsmouth, was for many years a captain in the merchant marine service. John C. was edneated at the academy in Portsmouth. In 1812 he entered the naval service of the United States, and August 29th of the same year was ordered to duty as aide to Com- modore Bainbridge, commanding the United States frigate "Constitution." After only four months' ser- vice, Dec. 29, 1812, he was a participant in the bloody, desperate, and historic engagement between the " Constitution" and the British frigate "Java." In this Midshipman Long received a slight injury from a ball which killed two seamen at his side. (At the time of his death Commodore Long was the last one left of the gallant band of officers belonging to the " Constitution" engaged in this action.) His bearing and conduct on this occasion indicated his subsequent gallant and successful career.
