RUTLAND POST-OFFICES.
A post-office department was established by the State of Vermont in 1784, several years previous to her admission into the Union, for the purpose, as stated, " of promulgating the laws, conveying timely notice to the freemen of the State of all proprietary proceedings and other matters of importance to the public, which can in no other way be effected so extensively and attended with so small expense, as by the appointment of regular posts for the conveying of the same to the parts of this State. To carry out this design, five post-offices were established - one in Rutland, one in Bennington, one in Brattleboro, one in Windsor, and one in Newbury; these were placed under the same regula-

tions as those of the general government. Post-riders were allowed two pence per mile for their labor. Anthony Haswell, then of Bennington, was ap- pointed postmaster-general. This department existed until the admission of the State into the Union in 1791, at which time the office in Rutland was in charge of Frederick Hill, and it was reorganized by the United States author- ities March 20, 1793, the same postmaster continuing until 1796, when Na- thaniel Gove was appointed.
The post-office has been located in Rutland village at various periods in Main street, West street, and Washington street, previous to the erection of the present United States court-house, in 1854, when it was removed to its present location. The office became presidential in 1853, when John Cain was nominated and confirmed as postmaster on the 21st of February of that year.
