"PITTSBURGH, BEAVER, NEW-LISBON, CANTON, AND WOOSTER,
"LINE OF STAGES.
"TER public are informed, that a regular line of Stages is now running from and to the above places, three times a week, leaving Pittsburgh on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, at 3 o'clock A.M. and arriving at New-Lisbon on the same day, at 7 o'clock P.M. -Leave New-Lisbon on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, at 3 o'clock A.M. and arrive at Wooster, at 7 o'clock P.M. the same day.
" Offices for the above line :
Griffiths', Wood street, Pittsburgh ; M'Clures', Beaver ; Watsons', New-Lisbon ; Dewalts', Canton ; Hempherlys', Wooster.
"To facilitate the transportation of passengers, arriving in New- Lisbon or Wellsville, on any other than the regular stage days, the subscribers have procured
Good Carriages, Horses, and Careful Drivers,
to ply daily between Lisbon & Wellsville, 14 miles from the former, at which place a
STEAM-BOAT
can ordinarily be procured, to proceed to PITTSBURGH, STEU- BENVILLE or WHEELING. In addition to which & HACK will be constantly kept at the
STAGE OFFICE
of John Feehun, of Wellsville, to accommodate those preferring the latter mode of conveyance to any of the above places.
"The proprietors of the accommodation line, just established, pledge themselves to spare no pains to render the situation of those who may favor him with their patronage both comfortable and agree- able. Fare reasonable, and every attention paid to baggage, but in all cases it must be at the risk of the owner.
"JOHN FEEHAN, "DAVID WATSON.
"N. B. Arrangements have been made to meet the Middleburry and Warren Stages in New-Lisbon, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, which stages will leave town regularly every Wednesday and Sunday mornings.
"J. F.
" D. W.
"New Lisbon, May 23, 1829-698."
This enterprise was but the prelude to others in the same field, and in the following week notice was published of another line of stages, of which and other matters Mr. Gregg wrote for the Pioneer Society in part as follows :*
"On the 30th of May, 1829, a flaming advertisement came out also in the Ohio Patriot for a 'New Lisbon, Wellsville, and Steubenville mail stage,' also to run three times a week, and signed ' M. Seydel, Union Hall Stage Office, New Lisbon.' This line was to leave the house of M. Seydel, New Lisbon, sign of the Union Hall, every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday, at six o'clock A.M., and arrive at the stage office of John M. Jenkins, of Wellsville,
at nine o'clock A.M., and to leave Wellsville at ten A.M., and arrive at Dohrman's Hotel, in Steubenville, at six o'clock P.M.,-that is, twelve hours from New Lisbon to Steubenville. " Soon after the publication of this lutter advertisement the public were again notified, by advertisement of Feehan & Watson, that their line was to extend from Wooster to Mansfield, and that the line was also to run daily from Pittsburgh to Beaver. Such were the great mail-routes run by the old-fashioned stages forty-seven years ago.
" When the writer of this essay came to Columbiana County, in March, 1835, the contracts for carrying the mails daily in old-fashioned stages or post-coaches were from Wellsville to Fairport, on the lake, and from Pitts- burgh to Wooster; and I well recollect seeing the tired horses come in daily, dragging the heavy stages, filled with passengers, through the hard roads, and sometimes the mud up to the axles. When the customary change of horses took place at the old Watson or Cross Keys Hotel, in New Lisbon, the horses would then move off as gayly as a new circus, and the poor tired and sleepy passengers, too, even seemed to be cheered up at the prospect of a new team ; and the driver would crack his whip, and swing himself on the stage-box, and look as if he felt as happy as Napoleon when he crossed the Alps to defeat the Austrians in Italy."
The following stage-routes were in use in 1835. The tables give the distances between stations, and the total distance of each station from starting-point :

A stage-route was established in 1833 from Wellsville, in Columbiana County, to Fairport, on Lake Erie; and another, in 1835, from Wellsville to Cleveland. Both routes passed through New. Lisbon and Salem. Before these lines were in operation mails were borne by carriers on foot from Salem, and probably from New Lisbon, to con- nect at Palmyra with the stage-route between Beaver and Cleveland,* named in the last schedule.
FERRIES.
June 13, 1818, the following rates were established by the commissioners : " for each ferry-keeper to demand and receive for the transportation of persons and property over the Ohio River : for each foot person, 6} cents; man and horse, 12 cents; loaded wagon and team, $1; every four- wheeled carriage, empty wagon and team, 62} cents ; for loaded cart and team, 50 cents; for empty cart and team, sled, or sleigh and team, 31} cents ; for every horse or mare, mule, or head of neat-cattle, 6} cents; for every sheep or hog, 3 cents."
The ferriage "on all other waters in the county" was fixed at four cents for each foot person, one cent for every hog and sheep, and in other cases about one-half the rates charged for ferriage across the Ohio.
STEAMBOATS.
The first steamboat for navigating the Ohio River was built and launched in 1811, and was a joy and wonder to the inhabitants of the river townships who saw it pass on its first voyage from Pittsburgh to New Orleans. Down to the year 1832 there had been built for navigating the West- ern rivers three hundred and forty-eight steamboats, of which one hundred and ninety-eight were then running. Of the latter number there were built at Cincinnati, sixty- eight ; Pittsburgh, sixty-cight; Louisville, two; New Al- bany, twelve; Marietta, seven ; Zunesville, two ; Fredericks- burgh, one; Westport, one; Silver Creek, one; Brush Creek, one; Wheeling, two; Nashville, one; Frankfort, two; Smithland, one; Economy, one; Brownsville, six ; Ports- mouth, three; Steubenville, two; Beaver, two; St. Louis, one; New York, three; Philadelphia, one; not known, ten.
Of the total number there were built in 1811, one; 1814, four; 1815, three; 1816, two ; 1817, nine ; 1818, twenty- three; 1819, twenty-seven ; 1820, seven ; 1821, six ; 1822, seven; 1823, thirteen ; 1824, thirteen ; 1825, thirty-one ; 1826, fifty-two; 1827, twenty-five; 1828, thirty-one ; 1829, fifty-three ; 1830, thirty ; 1831, nine. Of these, one hun- dred and eleven were built at Cincinnati.
CANAL. The Sandy and Beaver Canal Company was incorporated by act of Assembly passed Jan. 11, 1826. The act was

amended March 9, 1830. Nearly nine years after the for- mer date,-Nov. 24, 1834,-the work was formally begun at New Lisbon amid greut rejoicing, Elderkin Potter perform- ing the ceremony of "breaking ground" near the old fur- nace. Because of various embarrassments, the canal was not completed until 1846, the first boat from the East reaching New Lisbon October 26th, under command of Capt. Dunn. The arrival was the cause of great rejoicing. A jubilee meeting was held at Hannu's warehouse, at which William E. Russell made an appropriate speech in behalf of the citizens, to which Dr. Leonard Hanna gave an carnest response in behalf of the directors of the canal corporation. The day's celebration was closed with an exhibition of fire- works, and a supper and ball at the Watson House.
One of the many packets which plied between New Lis- bon and Pittsburgh was the ". David Begges," commanded by Capt. George Ramsay, " one of the jolliest fellows that ever trod shipboard." A number of bouts were built at New Lisbon.
About a mile east of Hanover the canal was conducted through a tunnel nearly three-quarters of a mile in length to a point about one mile west of Dungannon. North of the .latter place there was a smaller tunnel about three hundred and fifty yards in length. At Gilford there were two res- ervoirs,-one of an area of four hundred and ninety acres, and one of less than half that size. Traces of the tunnels and reservoirs are yet plainly visible, and will be visible for years to come as reminders of an unfortunate project. The track of the canal may be traced over its entire original course through the township, but passing time is gradually obliterating the faint evidences of what at one time prom- ised to be an important highway for traffic.
RAILROADS.+
The Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad was opened between Salem and Alliance, a distance of thirteen miles, Nov. 27, 1851, and on the third day of January following cars ran from Columbiana to Pittsburgh.
The Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad was opened for business between Wellsville and Cleveland in 1852, and be- tween the former place and Pittsburgh Sept. 16, 1856. Prominent citizens of the county projected this road, chiefly residents of Wellsville.
The Niles and New Lisbon Railroud was opened for pas- sengers and traffic in 1865.
The total length of the main lines of these railroads within the county of Columbiana is nearly one hundred miles, the first two embracing between them nearly the entire territory of the present county.
CHAPTER XX. MILITARY HISTORY.
MILITIA.

HISTORY OF COLUMBIANA COUNTY, OHIO.
Lewis Kinney, gathered on the farm owned by Jonah Robinson, situated on the Georgetown road and on the west side of the west fork of Beaver Creek, where mus- ters were held for many years.
The first muster of the second battalion, under Maj. John Taggart, took place on the farm of Matthias Lower, in Fairfield township, where the first Supreme and Com- mon Pleas Courts were held.
Many who were originally officers in the militia, or were promoted to such positions afterwards, became prominent in various capacities, civil and military. Brig .- Gen. Robert Simison became Associate Judge; Licut .- Col. Reasin Beall, Clerk of the Court, Treasurer, and Recorder; Maj. Lewis Kinney served in the State Senate from 1808 to 1813; Maj. John Taggart, who lived in Unity township, near Palestine, became senator in 1806-7; Cupt. Israel War- ner was a captain in the war of 1812, and marched a com- pany to the northern frontier; Lieut. Jacob Gilbert became captain, and Ensign Lindsey Cannon a lieutenaut, in the war of 1812, as did also David Graham. Lieut. Peter Musser was afterwards brigadier-general, a major in the war of 1812, and a member of the House of Representa- tives in 1821-22; Dr. Horace Potter, surgeon, was after- wards Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas, and Maj. Thomas Rowland, the first quartermaster,-who was subse- quently County Treasurer,-marched a company of volun- teers to the relief of Gen. Hull iu 1812, and afterwards, having received the appointment of captain in the United States infantry, enlisted a company and again marched to the relief of the frontier; Fisher A. Blocksom, clerk of the regiment, became a representative in the General Assembly in 1826, and served until 1828, and aguin served from 1831 to '33. Ho was also senator in that body from 1847 to '51, and for several years " prosecuting attorney" of the county.
The following item of history connected with the early operations of the county militia is introduced in the lan- guage of Mr. H. H. Gregg, as published in 1873:
" As early as March 28, 1809, a call was made by the governor of Ohio, through Maj .- Gen. Wadsworth, upon Brig .- Gen. Bcall to take effectual measures to arm and equip, according to law, one hundred and forty-four of the militia of his brigade, and hold in readiness to march, at a moment's warning, to meet some great national emergency. This emergency having passed, an order was issued by Maj .- Gen. Wadsworth, duted Canfield, June 8, 1809, in which the troops were discharged, with the thanks of the Presi- deut of the United States ' to those volunteers whose patri- otism induced them to volunteer their services in defense of the liberties of their country.' And Maj .- Gen. Wads- worth cordially congratulated the detachment on the happy change in our foreign relations which has made their ser- vices unnecessary."
Roster of Columbiana Militia .*- The following list con- tains the names of all males in the county over eighteen years of age who were subject to military duty in 1806, and, as far as given, is the only correct list of the first in- habitants. The principal object in producing the names is
to show who were residents of Columbiana County at the date mentioned.
A part of the record is lost or mutilated, as are some of the company rolls. The regiment contained eighteen mu- sicians and eight hundred and ten rank and file.

Wellsville Militia and Cavalry .- Wellsville boasted, in the days of 1844, a crack militia company, known as the Wellsville Light Artillery, Capt. Henry Cope. The com. mand numbered fifty-one men, carried a twelve-pound Napo- leon gun, and paraded in a showy uniform consisting of red coats, white pants, and stiff hat with brilliant plume. They are said to have made a very imposing appearance when out in the full pomp of display, and during the com- pany's eight years' existence, from 1844 to 1852, their red coats and white pants glistened in public at general musters, Fourth of July celebrations, parades, and on other occasions. It was while in camp at New Lisbon that the company re- ceived orders to prepare to take the field of active service in the campaign against Mexico. Arrangements were at once set afoot for a departure for the seat of war; but just then peace was declared, and the company lost a chance to win glory upon the tented plain.
