POST ROUTES.
In 1792 the legislature, at its session that year, established four post routes through the state, the first beginning at Concord, thence to proceed through Weare, New Boston, Amherst, Wilton, Temple, Peterborough, Dublin, Marlborough, Keene, Westmoreland, Walpole, Alstead, Ac- worth, Charlestown, Claremont, Newport, Lemp- ster, Washington, Hillsborough, Henniker, Hop- kinton, to Concord.
The second route was from Concord to Bos- cawen, Salisbury, Andover, New Chester, Ply- mouth, Haverhill, Piermont, Orford, Lyme, Hano- ver, Lebanon, Enfield, Canaan, Grafton, Alexan- dria, Salisbury, to Concord.
The other two routes connected the towns in the eastern part of the state with Coneord and Ports- mouth.
Each post-rider was required to perform his route weekly, extraordinary circumstances excepted.
The riders on the first and second routes were paid twelve pounds each. They were required to reverse their alternate trips.
The postage of single letters was fixed at six- pence for forty miles, and fourpence for any dis- distance less than forty.
185
HISTORICAL ITEMS.
Once a week the citizens of any town on the ronte could send a letter to other sections of the state on the route of the riders, but if directed to a town on one of the other routes, from six to twelve days would be the time required. For the trans- mission of their letters, Sutton people (not being on any post ronte) were compelled to trust much to chance conveyance. Most store-keepers kept an open rack in plain sight in their stores, in which let- ters could be deposited. Teamsters and travellers calling to take a drink-for all stores in those days kept ardent spirits for sale-would examine the direction on the letters in the rack, take such as were directed to any place through which or near which their own route lay, and deliver as directed, or at some store or tavern near by. For those who did not like thus to trust to the honor and good- will of irresponsible persons, there still remained, of course, the alternative of sending their mail matter to Andover, the nearest point to Sutton on any post route, or elsewhere, there to await the coming of the post-rider; for these carriers were empow- ered to collect as well as to deliver.
The first mail-carrier in Sutton of whom we have any certain knowledge was a man named Dimond, whose house and pottery, where he at one period manufactured brown earthen-ware, was situated on the Warner road. He performed his journeys on horseback, carrying the mails in saddle-bags; and it was his custom, on entering a village, to summon the people out to the road by blowing a horn, to receive their mail matter.
186
HISTORY OF SUTTON.
A POST-OFFICE
Was established at the South Village in 1817, Isaac Bailey being the post-master. At that period one post-office and one weekly mail sufficed for the whole town. The mail was at that time brought by one Thomas Hacket, of Warner, a lame man who used to ride in a gig. Subsequently, Smith Downing brought the mails.
Not long after 1825 a post-office was established at the North Village. Benjamin B. French, after- wards so well known as editor, poet, politician, and in various high positions of public trust in Wash- ington, but then a young lawyer, having recently come to Sutton to open a law office (the first in town), was appointed post-master.

HISTORICAL ITEMS.
under Lincoln's administration, August 13, 1861. He has held his appointment through all changes of administration for a term but little short of thirty years.
The post-office in Mill Village was for twenty- four years kept in one store,-that of Carlos Pres- sey, Esq.,-and since his time occupied by Truman Putney. These two men were the only post-masters during that period.
EARLY NEWSPAPERS.
The following is a list of subscribers to the New Hampshire Gazette, dated 1803:
We, the subscribers, agree to take the New Hampshire Gazette for the term of one year, at 12s. per annum, one quarter to be paid in advance ; papers to be left weekly at Mr. Ezra Flanders' store in Warner: Daniel Page, Amos Pressey, Jonathan Harvey, Ben- jamin Evans, Henry Carleton, Joseph Greeley, Thomas Wadleigh, Thomas G. Wells, Jesse King, Ephraim Hildreth, Daniel Robinson, Philemon Hastings, Isaac Peaslee, Moses Hills,-all of Sutton ; Dow & Harvey, J. & D. Woodbury, Thomas Pike,-all of New London ; Samuel Rogers, of Wendell.
It will be observed that these papers were to be left at Warner, by which it appears that the mail was not yet extended into Sutton.
The New Hampshire Gazette was first issued at Portsmouth, in October, 1756. A printing-press, the first in New England, had been established at Portsmouth in the August preceding.
The Portsmouth Journal, at Portsmouth, was established in 1789.
The Keene Sentinel, at Keene, in 1799.
The Farmer's Cabinet, at Amerst, November 11, 1802.
188
HISTORY OF SUTTON.
The Political Observatory, at Walpole, Novem- ber 1, 1803. Several copies of this paper were taken in Sutton, and some of the papers are yet in existence, one of which, marked with the name of Jonathan Harvey, is before the writer. In the " conditions" of publication is the following item : " Post-riders supplied on reasonable terms." About this date post-routes began to be established by the publishers of newspapers. The publishers of the Farmer's Cabinet employed Francis Bowman for their post-rider from Amherst through the north part of Hillsborough county. He paid for the papers at the office of publication, and ran his own risk of getting the money from his customers, which was sometimes effected by putting hard duns in the paper. He carried the Farmer's Cabi- net through the towns of Bedford, Goffstown, Dun- barton, Hopkinton, Henniker, Warner, Bradford, Weare, and others, till the close of the year 1809. The Sutton subscribers had their papers left at Warner.
Several receipts for payment for newspapers have been found, the most ancient being as follows:
Sutton, Aug. 24, 1795.
Then received of Thomas Wadleigh seventy-five cents, it being for newspapers, I say, received by me,
Joseph Hutchins.
Several receipts are given for money paid for the Courier of New Hampshire at different dates from 1800 to 1804. The Political Observatory found several patrons about the same time. One of these receipts is as follows :
189
HISTORICAL ITEMS.
Received of Benjamin Fowler fifty cents in full for thirteen num- bers of the Political Obs.
Sutton, Sept. 13, 1804. Cornelius Warren.
This Cornelius Warren was probably the post- rider and agent for more than one publication, as in 1805 he credits Jonathan Harvey for $3.66 for 86 Observatories and 9 Museums.
Several of the Portsmouth publications were also taken in Sutton, as the following receipt shows:
Warner, 30 June, 1804. Then received of Jonathan Harvey Twenty Four Dollars, which I am to send to Portsmouth to Mr. Peirce on account of newspapers that were sent to several persons in Sutton.
Ezra Flanders.
One receipt is given on account of the Courier of New Hampshire, and is signed by George Hough, of Concord, dated 1802. This man was the first printer in Concord (to which place he re- moved from Vermont in 1789), and there set up the first printing-press, and for fifteen years published the Concord Herald and N. H. Intelligencer. Was also the first post-master in Concord.
About 1800, Samuel Dalton brought the mail through Sutton. He went on foot. John Kezar carried the mail at a later period, going on horse- back.
1808. GUIDE-BOARDS,
or, as they were first called, " post guides," began to be used about 1808. They were built under an act of the legislature, requesting towns to do so.
190
HISTORY OF SUTTON.
OLD CURRENCY.
About 1796 or 1797 the old currency began to disappear from the town records, and the Federal currency used on the books. At this time, and for many years later, currency was reckoned in pounds, shillings, and pence, because the silver money in circulation was either English or Span- ish coinage. Very little federal currency was in use. The foreign coinage held its place for the first forty years of the present century, and, although the keeping of accounts in pounds, shillings, and pence began to give place to dollars and cents in speech, the old currency still held its own. Mer- chants were accustomed to mark the price of arti- cles in British currency.
PENNY ACRE TAX, 1782.
The legislature imposed a tax of a penny an acre on wild lands for the support of the war. A simi- lar tax was sometimes imposed, on petition, to aid a town in building a meeting-house.
TURNPIKES.
Settlements were pushing rapidly northward to Vermont and northern New Hampshire, and the consequent increase of public travel made better highways a necessity.
In 1803 the first, second, third, and fourth New Hampshire turnpikes were incorporated. Twenty years previous to this, however, the people of the northern towns had felt the need of an improved
191
HISTORICAL ITEMS.
road from the Merrimack to the upper Connecticut, and petitioned the legislature for a public road. The petition being presented, an act was passed, 1784, appointing a committee to lay out the road four rods wide from the River road in Boscawen to the Connecticut, at or near Dartmouth college, hav- ing regard to public and private interests. This road was termed the College road, and after the fourth New Hampshire turnpike was made, it was known as the "College Old Road." Up and down this road passed the college youths of a century ago, most of them going on foot, and sending their trunks along by a general conveyance. Among these young men was Matthew Harvey, of Sutton, afterwards governor and United States judge, who many years ago was heard to say that he always went to college on foot, being conveyed, himself and his trunk, by some one of his family, to the nearest point where they could strike this road.
ANCIENT STAGES.
The first stage-coach in the country, drawn by four horses, was established, in 1774, in Newbury- port, connecting Newburyport with Boston ria Salem, leaving Boston and Newburyport on alter- nate days, thus making three trips a week. A stage, drawn by two horses, and carrying only three pas- sengers, had been established between Portsmouth and Newburyport some years before. The first stage route opened between Concord and Ports- mouth was in 1824.
192
HISTORY OF SUTTON.
THE STAGE-COACH OF 1832.
The introduction of stages making regular trips through this town was of very great importance to the people. Not only did the stages transport pas- sengers and their baggage, but the mails as well, so that when they came the post-rider disappeared.
The girls began to go to work in the cotton fac- tories of Nashua and Lowell. It was an all-day ride, but that was nothing to be dreaded. It gave them a chance to behold other towns and places, and see more of the world than the most of the generation had ever been able to see. They went in their plain, country-made clothes, and, after work- ing several months, would come home for a visit, or perhaps to be married, in their tasteful city dresses, and with more money in their pockets than they had ever owned before.
The students from Dartmouth college also availed themselves of the stage for making their transits through this section, and their coming was looked for with much interest by many of the people on the road, who were by no means averse to exchang- ing jokes with them, even though these young men were sometimes a little saucy. Not unfrequently, however, they found their match for impudence in the farm lads they hailed, as they looked down upon them from their lofty stations on the top of the stage.
These coaches were made by Abbot & Downing, at Concord, and were well calculated for their work of carrying heavy loads over rocky hills, or down through the heavy, wet valley roads between. They
193
HISTORICAL ITEMS.
had three seats inside, comfortably upholstered, where nine persons could ride with ease. On the outside was the driver's seat, and room for one on each side of him, and a seat behind him for pas- sengers, to which usually the stage-sick passengers resorted when they could no longer bear the close air inside the stage. The top of the coach was made very strong and firm, and a low iron railing passed all around it, affording a safe facility for transmitting smaller pieces of baggage, the trunks being securely held in the rack behind. Fourteen passengers could be accommodated at one time.
RATES OF POSTAGE,
previous to 1845, for several years, were 6, 10, 12} 183, and 25 cents, according to distance.
In 1845 congress reduced postage to 5, 10, 15, 20, etc.
In 1852, to 3 cents per one half ounce,-5, if not prepaid. Soon after 5 was stricken out, and let- ters not sent if not prepaid.
In 188-, postage was reduced to 2 cents.
In 1873, postal cards, costing 1 cent each, were introduced.
FIRST CHECK-LIST .- JUNE 23, 1813.
The legislature at this date passed an act requir- ing towns to use a check-list in voting for state and county officers. Previous to this every man had voted upon his honor, and his name was noted down. From these notes a list was made for tax- ing purposes. As politics waxed warmer, and the
13
194
HISTORY OF SUTTON.
contests became more animated, the check-list was used in electing town officers as well as state, and was found to be a necessary safeguard against the attempted frauds of either party. It was a most beneficial act. Supervisors of the check-list were first chosen under the new constitution in 1878.
The following named men were the first to vote the Free-Soil ticket in Sutton:
Nathaniel A. Davis. Jefferson Chadwick.
Israel Andrews, Jr. Tappan Sanborn.
Nathan Andrews, Jr. John Roby.
Emery Bailey.
Isaac Towle.
PHYSICIANS' FEES.
The charges for medical attendance seem to have been very low about 1807. Dr. Henry Lyman re- sided in Warner, but practised considerably in this town. Some old bills of his are as follows:
Mr. Jonathan Eaton Dr. to Harry Lyman for visits and Medi- cines, $ .67.
Sutton Oct. 13, 1807.
Jonathan Davis, Dr. to Harry Lyman for Medicines, $ .20. Sutton, Oct. 17, 1807.
Mr. Jacob Quimby to Harry Lyman Dr. for Medicines, 33 cents. Another charge is for Visits, Medicine, and pulling tooth, one dollar.

THE PENACOOKS.
In the beautiful valley of the Merrimack, with all its attractions of fertile planting-grounds, an abund- ance of fish, and hunting-grounds of an unlimited extent, the first English adventurers found several tribes of Indians occupying localities chosen with Indian taste, and with special reference to his com- fort and his wants. From its month, far above its affluents, the Winnepisauke and the Pemigewasset, the shores of this " silver stream" were dotted with Indian villages.
The Wamesits, sometimes called the Pawtuckets, lived at the forks of the Concord and Merrimack (Lowell) ; the Nashnas at Nashua. The Souhe- gans occupied the lands upon the river of that name; the Namaoskeags at the falls of Amos- geag; the Agawams on Cape Ann.
The Penacooks occupied the rich intervales at Penacook, now embraced in the territory of Bow, Concord, and Boscawen, and towns above. Of these several tribes, the Penacooks were the most powerful; and either from their superiority arising from a long residence upon a fertile soil, and hence more civilized, or from having been for a long period under the rule of a wise chief-and perhaps from both canses united-the Penacooks had become the head of a powerful confederacy.
Their chief was named Passaconaway, or the " Son of the Bear." He was friendly to the Eng- lish, and, through his influence his people were also friendly. But as the English grew in strength and numbers, they rewarded his friendship in the way
196
HISTORY OF SUTTON.
they have ever and always rewarded the Indians' friendship, and wars and fighting were the result. The Penacooks, greatly reduced in numbers, grad- ually abandoned their pleasant homes on the upper and middle Merrimack and its tributaries, and joined the St. Francis tribe in Canada. The first of them went, it is supposed, about 1680, though scattered bands of them were roaming about this section many years afterwards.
These were the people who, two centuries ago, held possession of the lands and the waters of Sut- ton which we to-day call ours, and this was proba- bly one of the very last places they abandoned.
Many relies found around Kezar's pond, as well as a piece of cleared land found on its western shore, when the white settlers first came, testify to their somewhat recent presence here.
Their village, it seems, was on the western shore of the pond, as it is in that vicinity that their stone hearths and fire-places have been found.
ORGANIZATIONS.
-
THE SOCIAL LIBRARY.
This association was formed in 1796, and incor- porated by the legislature in 1799. Men from New London, Fishersfield, and Sutton united for the purpose, but a large majority of the proprietors were Sutton men, and the library was kept in Sut- ton. By the payment of $2.50 a person became a shareholder, and thus entitled to the use of the books. The money paid for the shares purchased the books. Sixty-nine names of original proprie- tors are on their record, which shows that they had less than $200 to commence with.
All interested in the library warned to meet at the house of Matthew Harvey.
Met and chose Levi Harvey, Esq., moderator; Dr. John Cushing, clerk ; Matthew Harvey, librarian.
Chose the following committee of nine to draft a constitution : Capt. Jonas Hastings, of Fishersfield ; Elder Job Seamans, Dr. John Cushing, Levi Harvey, Esq., and Lieut. Thomas Pike, of New London ; Benjamin Wadleigh, Capt. Thomas Wadleigh, Mr. David Eaton, Lieut. Asa Nelson, for Sutton.
Directors-Levi Harvey, New London ; Jonas Hastings, Fishers- field ; David Eaton. Sutton.
Voted. To pay in the money, what the proprietors can, a fort- night from next Saturday.
Voted, That the directors shall purchase the books and open the library as soon as $30 are paid in.
198
HISTORY OF SUTTON.
This organization existed until 1868, when the proprietors gave up their rights to the town of Sut- ton to help form a town library.
In time the social library contained between three and four hundred books, and was ofimmense benefit to the people,-the books being well selected, and eagerly sought after and thoroughly read.
Books were scarce at that early day, but there were not a few men and women who knew well how to appreciate their contents. Many a hard working man was only too glad to walk weary miles, and then climb the steep hill to Dea. Har- vey's house, for the privilege of having a book to read.
None can tell the influence that the perusal of those volumes has had in developing and shaping the minds and characters of Sutton's, New Lon- don's, and Fishersfield's noblest sons and daugh- ters.
No catalogue of the books is to be found at this day; but a bill, probably of the very first books purchased for the library, has been preserved, and a copy of it is here presented. It is marked on the outside, "Esquire Harvey's bill for books."
