bered. It was the custom on this line for the driver to blow his horn when nearing a village to warn them of his arrival, in imitation of the English fashion. Mr. W. W. Ball was the last of the expressmen and mail- carriers on the Winchester and Fitzwilliam route, and was longer in that service than any other, having commenced in 1862, making fourteen years of con- tinued service. The mail route was changed to Keene in 1876, and this was then discontinued, and has so remained to the present time. A daily passenger and express is run with the mail, stopping at the post- offices at North Richmond, Unionville, and Swansey Centre. Mr. Orlan Whipple, the present proprietor, has run this line most of the time since 1867. The following compliment is cheerfully inserted by request of Mr. Ball. He says that " during the fourteen years no unkind word was received from the Rich- mond people, and no person said to me that I charged them too much for conveyance or express, and all bills were promptly paid, with the exception of one case, and he remembered so many times to tell me he should pay, and did not, that I call it settled."
SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL TEACHERS.
The first mention made of schools or schooling was in 1771, when the town raised fourteen pounds for schooling, and voted to hold the schools in six several places. This amount would be equal to about seventy dollars, and would give less than twelve dollars for the support of each, while the population of the town at that time was equal to the present. The following year the grant was increased to fifteen pounds, not a very large addition, giving
123
TOWN OF RICHMOND.
about a dollar more to each. In 1773, thirty pounds was granted, but in 1774, it was reduced to fifteen, and in 1775 increased to twenty. Up to this time there had been no school-houses in town, but the schools had been held in private dwellings.

Voted, To set off the last written Squadron according to request.
The town raised no money for schooling in 1776; but in 1777 they granted thirty pounds, which vote afterwards was rescinded. In 1778 they raised nothing, but chose Dr. Aaron Aldrich a grammar- school master, the first and only one ever chosen by the town. In 1779-'80, when the paper money be- came less valuable, they voted £300 and £600, re- spectively, for schools.
We have presented the action of the town on matters pertaining to schools up to the time when the educa- tion of the children of the state was made compulsory under the Constitution in 1783. After this time various sums were raised, varying from fifty to one hundred pounds, for several years.
THE TOWN DIVIDED INTO SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
In 1784, the town chose a committee, consisting of Nicholas Cook, Rufus Whipple, Peter Holbrook, Jonathan Gaskill, John Gorton, James Kingsley, and Henry Ingalls, to divide the town into school squad- rons, which duty, it is presumed, they performed to the acceptance of the town ; but the number of them

TOWN OF RICHMOND.
After this districting, changes were made quite often, by annexing or disannexing certain persons and their estates from one school district to another until 1816, when the number of school districts was reduced to fifteen. This number was retained until a new district was made in the middle of the town about 1848, called District No. 16. Since the latter date, the number of districts has decreased. The number of scholars of late in the north-east part of the town, and also in the south-east, has been so few that schools in these localities have been mostly discontinued. District No. 10 has been annexed for school purposes to the adjoining school district in Swansey. The practical working of this union has been unsatisfac- tory to the town, as the entire tax assessed on all the ratable estates in the district has to be turned over to Swansey for the schooling of four or five scholars. In 1883, there were eleven schools in as many districts, with one hundred and fifty-five scholars in all, of which seventeen were over sixteen years of age, while in 1806 there were five hundred and eighty-nine scholars, which included probably some older than are now classed as such, showing, by marked contrast, a great change in the vital statistics of the town. The following table may be of interest in showing the districts in 1816, the prudential com- mittee in same, and amounts expended in each : -

The town has never had a high school. The nearest approximation to one was a school kept by Harvey Jewell of Winchester in the vestry of the Brick church, in 1840, in which some of the higher branches were taught. This was attended by scholars from all parts of the town, and many received ma- terial benefit, no doubt, from attendance on this one brief term. It was supported by subscription.
The Friends' School.
During the earlier and more flourishing period of the Quaker society, the Friends had a school separate from the common school, which was called the pole district, they drawing their proportion of the school money. This was kept most of the time at their meeting-house after the same was built in 1790 ; but before this time, it was kept at various places - sometimes in the east part of the town, at Paul Jillson's, and sometimes at Peleg Taft's in the west. Schools under their direction were continued until about 1825. The last of these was at Peregrine Wheeler's shop, Joanna Allen being teacher. After this the project was abandoned, and a return was made to the only sensible system yet devised - the common school - created and sustained by law as the most fitting and proper place for the education of

all children born on American soil, or destined to be- come citizens of the great Republic. The oppor- tunities ever have been meagre for acquiring an education when compared with the facilities offered by most of the larger towns of to-day. Schools in all of the districts have rarely been kept six months in the year, and in many, perhaps, not over three ; hence those who have succeeded in obtaining a fair education have had to rely largely on their own ex- ertions for such literary attainments as they may have acquired. Of those born in town who have had a collegiate education but few appear on the list ; but to the credit of the town it may be said that she has furnished a fair and full quota to the country of men of talent, enterprise, and distinction.

SCHOOLHOUSES BUILT.
District No. I.
The house in District No. I was probably built about 1775, the time they petitioned to be set off in a squadron, and was repaired in 1808 at an expense of $10.14, and again in 1815 more extensive repairs were made, amounting to $40.22. The district at this latter date embraced nearly all of the district now numbered fourteen, and the following copy of the assessment of the tax for this repair may be of interest to some by showing the changes of residents therein :

The house for which this assessment was made continued to be used until the present new house of modern construction was built in 1857, at a cost of $458.86.
District No. 2.
The first house in this district was built about 1775, on the old road between John Dandly's and Joseph Cass'. This was burnt, and another erected in its place. This served the district until 1832, when a new house was built north of the Grindall Thayer place. This has been removed to the cross-road south of the Wyman Thayer place. The tax as- sessed on the following named persons for its building was $74.83, viz. : -

District No. 6.
School District No. 6 was carved out of other districts, and formed in 1815; and the old brick school-house was built the same year at an ex- pense of $283.55. This district extended from Captain; Crooker's to Benjamin Dexter's and Obe- diah Sprague's, and also from Gideon Man's, Jr., to Benjamin Kelton's. Jonathan Cass always sent to this district.

District No. 8.
The school-house in District No. 8 was built in 1852, at a cost of $100.51, and was located south of Aaron Miller's place, on the east side of the road. The union of this district with No. 7 obviates the necessity of its further use.
District No. 10.
The school-house in this district was located near the junction of the roads leading by the house of Levi Aldrich and the house of Nathan Aldrich. The house is now gone, and the district is annexed to the adjoining district in Swansey.

The first school-house in District No. 14 was built in 1822. The district was mostly taken from District No. I. The amount expended for building the house was $90.31, which was assessed on the following persons, viz. :

HISTORY OF THE
A PART OF RICHMOND ANNEXED TO TROY.
At the June session of the General Court, 1815, on petition of certain inhabitants living in the north-east part of Richmond, together with others mostly in the town of Marlboro', praying that they might be set off into a new town, it was enacted that the prayers of the petitioners be granted, and that a town by the name of Troy be made from territory belonging to Marlboro', Fitzwilliam, and Richmond. The fol- lowing extract from the Act describes the line be- tween Richmond and Troy : -
Beginning at the north-west corner of the present boundaries of Fitzwilliam, thence northerly 262 Rods; thence N. 723°, W. 243 Rods; thence N. 13º, E. 66 Rods; thence S. 80°, W. 47 Rods; thence N. 1º, W. 145 Rods ; thence S. 84°, E. 52 Rods ; thence North 80 Rods; thence N. 23º, E. 92 Rods; thence N. 30°, E. 27 Rods ; thence N. 13º, W. 173 Rods; thence East 98 Rods; thence North ¿°, West 235 Rods; thence S. 82}, E. 32 Rods, to the Line between Marlboro' and Swansey.
This line was made quite irregular, by reason of running around the farm of Oliver Perry, who stoutly refused to be set off to Troy.
