PREFACE. 
 
 To business men, absorbed in their own concerns, 
 and habitually engaged in a tread-mill round of 
 duties, it is sometimes refreshing to extend the circle 
 of thought and observation, and especially interest- ' 
 ing is it to practical men, to survey the intricate and 
 curious machinery by which the Ivorld is growing 
 wiser, better and wealthier. So intent is the busi- 
 ness man of to-day upon the pursuit of his oWn, 
 that he scarcely knows how the gieat world is surg- 
 ing on by his side. "With these ideas in his mini,* 
 the compiler imagined that others might feel to some 
 extent the same interest which he attaches to a faith- 
 ful daguerreotyping of Old Hillsborough, in her so- 
 cial, physical, educational and moral relations. How 
 successfully it has been accomplished, in much haste, 
 amid other pressing duties, is left with the clemency 
 and just judgment of the public for decision.

 OUR COUNTY .'—ITS ORIGIN AND PROGRESS. 
 One hundred years ago the settlements in the ter^ 
 ritory now known as Hillsborough were seaMily 
 peopled, though some of them had been occupied by^ 
 a few hardy settlers for a considerable length of 
 timcj the first grants of land to individuals having 
 been made two centuries since. The old township of 
 Dunstable, comprising the present towns of Nashua^ 
 Nashville, Ilollis, Hudson, Litchfield, and Merri- 
 mackj were settled early j New Ipswich and Peter- 
 borough, one century agOj were attractive settle- 
 ments j Bedford and Amherst, known as Souhegan 
 East and Souhegan West, with New Boston, and 
 SocieEy Land, or the Masonian Proprietors' Lands, 
 including Antrim, Hancock, Bennington, Deering, 
 and parts of Francestown and Greenfield, complete 
 ^the list of the most prominent settlements. The 
 population of this territory was but a moiety of the 
 present numbers. 
 
 Its soil is light and sterile, compared with the fer- 
 tility of other sections of the country ; the southern 
 portion is especially sandy and unproductive, a stint-?-^

 ed pine being mainly the original growth ; the 
 northern and western portions have generally a * 
 stronger and deeper soil, of sandy loam, or clay, 
 yielding with assiduous labor good crops of corn, po- 
 tatoes, and most of the cereal grains. The north of 
 the County is particularly adapted to the growth of 
 Xyheat, and the south to the culture of rye. Much 
 attention has recently been given, in the vicinity of 
 large towns, to the cultivation of garden vegetables 
 and fruit, and the production of milk, which is al- 
 ready proving a source of much profit. The notion 
 that the fruit market may be easily glutted is wear- 
 ing away, as people are just beginning to discover its 
 value and indispensable necessity as an article of 
 food, and to learn that its present demand is but a 
 tithe of what it will be when its price shall bo a 
 trifle lower. 
 
 Its rock is principally granite, of various textures ^ 
 and qualities, some of it superior for building pur- 
 poses. Its growth is various, consisting of several 
 kinds of pine, oak and birch, with hemlock, spruce, 
 maple, beech, chestnut, cedar, walnut, elm, ash, and 
 a number of other less common kinds. 
 
 Whatever poverty of soil Hillsborough may pos- 
 sess, scarcely a County in the union can be richer in 
 natural manufacturing resources. The Merrimack ^r, 
 at Manchester alone, affords fticilities scarcely infe- 
 rior to those at Lowell, Avhile at Goff 's Falls and 
 other j)laces arc unoccupied privileges of more or 
 less value. The Nashua runs 50,000 cotton spindles, 
 Vfith much other machinery. The Souhcgan, flow- j 
 
niLLSBOKOUGH COUXTY. d 
 
 ing from the south-Tre?tern border through the cen- 
 tre of the County, has valuable pri"ileges at alniost 
 every mile. The Contoocooiz turns many a mill in 
 Peterborough, as Trell as in manufacturing villages 
 in Merrimack County. The Piscataquog, rising in 
 the centre of the County, makes itself useful in all 
 its course through Xew Boston, GofFstown and Bed- 
 ford. Xumerous tributaries of these main streams, 
 cveryvrhere leaping from the hills, turn hundreds of 
 wheels, and add to the general prosperity. There 
 were in the County, in 1850, 379 manufacturing es- 
 tablishments producing more than $500 each yearly. 
 The value of factories and machinery was $3,680,- 
 275 ; of mills and carding machines, $159,436. The 
 importance of m-anufacttires may be gleaned from 
 the fact that the population has increased more than 
 33 per cent, in the last ten years, mainly through 
 manufacturing ; and the value of landed estate in 
 equal proportion. 
 
 It may be interesting to note a few of the general 
 statistics of valuation, based upon the official returns 
 of 1852. The value of land is $12,500,599, equal 
 to the government price of 10,000,471 acres of wild 
 land, or 15,625 square miles, or a territory nearly 
 twice as large as the whole State ; the value of 
 horses, $352,144, 6,254 in number, averaging $56- 
 4G each ; neat stock, $715,413, 31,507 in number, 
 averaging $22 71 ; sheep, $37,042, 18,123 in num- 
 ber, averaging $2 04 ; carriages, $37,700 ; corpo- 
 ration stocks, $704,668 ; money taxed, $993,226 ; 
 stock in trade, $1,342,068 ; locks and canals, $203,-

 1)00 ; total of inventories exclusive of railroad?, 
 $23,709,611 ; railroad property, $1,582,509. Were 
 this equally divided, each man, woman and child in 
 the County would be taxed for S:435 — probably fully 
 equal to the average for the whole United States, 
 
 This County can boast many names distinguished 
 in their country's history, names that have adorned 
 the halls of State and shed glory upon the field, — 
 such as Gen. Stark, the hero of Bennington — Gen. 
 JVIiller, whose "I'll try, sir," is immortal — the valiant 
 Mc'Neil — Matthew Thornton, a gigner of the Great 
 Declaration — Franklin Pierce, our popular President, 
 with many others that might be named. 
 
 EDUCATION. 
 Within the past ten years much has been done for 
 the advancement of popular education in the County, 
 A healthier public sentiment and a better apprecia- 
 tion of the best means of improvement are now in 
 existence ; better teachers are employed and better 
 pay given ; school houses have been improved, and 
 High Schools instituted. A High School house has 
 just been finished in Nashua, in a rich style of archi- 
 tecture, and in an admirable location, whieli will bo 
 inferior, in no respect, to any school house in the 
 State. Its cost is about $13,000. A good High 
 School is in progress in Manchester, another in 
 
EBffCATtOX. 7 
 
 XashTille ; and Amherst is abo\it to institute another. 
 Also, Milford and Pelham. 
 
 There are many good Academies and Select Schools^ 
 which will be noticed under another head. Promi- 
 nent among these, in value of instruction and ex- 
 tent of patronage, are the Merrimack Normal In- 
 stitute, the New Ipswich Appleton Academy, the 
 Appleton Academy at Mont Yernon, and the Fran- 
 -cstown Academy. 
 
 Doubtless much is owed, likewise, to the Hills- 
 borough County Teacher's Institute, formerly sus- 
 tained by a distinct organization, but now managed 
 by thfe County School Commissioner. The office of 
 School Commissioner, when intrusted to suitable 
 hands^ is a valuable auxiliary in the work of true 
 educational progress. The present Commissioner is 
 Rev. Solomon Laws, a gentleman well qualified to 
 ^ advance the interests of education. 
 
 The report of the Board of Educatiou for 1853 
 shows a general increase in the wages jDaid to teach- 
 ers, and a larger proportion of female teachers em- 
 ployed. During the past year eight school-houses 
 were built in the County. In the schools of last 
 winter were nearly as many female teachers as males 
 — 1 82 females, 185 males. In the summer schools 
 were only eight male teachers. Bedford, Frances- 
 town, Gofi"stown, Hudson, Lyndeborough, Mont Ver- 
 non, New Ipswich, New Boston, Weare, and Wilton, 
 have local school funds, Weare the largest, amount- 
 ing last year to S502l 23. Weare also contributed 
 most in board and fuel. 3 1 g districts reported.

NOTES OF TOWNS. 
 
 AMHERST. 
 
 This is a higlily respectable old town, the shire- 
 town of the County. It was formerly twelve miles 
 square ; in 1794 Milfordwas taken from it, and Mont 
 Vernon in 1803, In the northern, southern, and 
 western portions of the town the soil is very good. 
 Its inhabitants are mostly engaged in the cultiva- 
 tion of the soil. Amherst sent 140 men to fight the 
 battles of the Revolution ; three fell at the battle 
 of Bunker Hill. In the northern part of the town 
 is a valuable bed of limestone for agricultural pur- 
 poses ; there is also a superior granite quarry on the 
 town farm.

 called Souhegan East. Xearly one hundred soldiers 
 were in the revolutionary struggle from this town.

 portion a hard but warm and rather productive soil, 
 the eastern a rich intervale of the Merrimack, the 
 southern clayey, the source of mush of the brick of 
 which Nashua and Lowell are built. The base of 
 the Uneanoonucks touches its western^ border, and 
 the Merrimack laves its eastern, 'while the Piscata- 
 quog meanders through the town, furnishing a few 
 good water privileges.

 tance from bluif to bluif, high above the swift waters 
 of the Souhegan.

 NASHUA. 
 
 This town, called Dunstable till 1836, originally 
 embraced a large territory. The present town of 
 Xashua belonged to Massachusetts, till the division 
 line was settled in 1741. Its soil is mostly light and 
 sterile, and of little intrinsic value ; its wealth is 
 derived almost wholly from extensive manufactures 
 of various kinds, all of which have grown up in the 
 past thirty years. No town in the State has a more 
 varied range of manufactures, or is benefitted by a 
 more productive industry. The power employed is 
 both water and steam ; the Nashua Manufacturir>g 
 Company's Mills, being operated by the water of the 
 Nashua, which has a fall of 36 feet in about two 
 miles. It is one of the pleasantest manufacturing 
 villages in New England.

 {Note. — An ugly error occurred in page 71. The 
 statistics of the several towns are accurately correct- 
 ed on a separate sheet, and may be relied on as per- 
 fect transcripts of official census and valuation re-

 the notice of that town, and transferred to Nashua, 
 the next town in order. Below we give the proper

 NASHVILLE. 
 
 This town, situated mostly on the north side of th& 
 Nashua river, was set oif from Nashua in 1842. It 
 possesses a light soil, easily cultivated and susceptible 
 of being made quite productive. The village abounds 
 in eligible building spots, and contains many well 
 situated and tasteful residences. The interests of 
 this town are so interwoven with those of Nashua, 
 that separate notices are almost impracticable. The 
 Charitable Orders we have located in Nashua, be- 
 cause the halls are there. The Union Athenaeum we 
 have noted there, because its book depository is 
 there, and most of its stock owned there. The Gas 
 Light Company is managed in Nashua ; but the 
 Pennichuck Water Co., we place in Nashville, 
 though a large share of the stock is held in Nashua, 
 as it owes its origin to the "Nashville Aqueduct Co."

 New Ipswich was early settled, and has always 
 been noted for the industry, enterprise, intelligence 
 and refinement of its people. This town sent sixty- 
 five men to Bunker Hill. The soil is a clayey loam, 
 quite productive compared with some portions of the 
 County. The water is good, and water privileges 
 are abundant and valuable, supplied mostly by the 
 Souhegan. A cotton factory was put in operation 
 here in 1803, probably the first in the State.

 XEW BOSTON. 
 
 Xew Boston possesses a strong and fertile soil, on 
 Tvhicli now stands few of the forest monarchs whose 
 stalwart limbs have wrought out much of her pro- 
 ductive wealth. The scenery of Xew Boston is 
 varied and picturesque, jjartaking largely of the 
 Alpine character, with rocks piled on rocks and hills 
 on hills. There are two villages, the lower and 
 principal cf which lies snugly embowered in a deep 
 and narrow valley, through which the noisy Piscat- 
 anua winds its way. Overlooking it, stands the res- 
 pectable and matronly original, on a level and 
 grassy niche in the steep hill side, from which a tall 
 spire shoots sky- ward.

 grants, noted for intclligcnee and industry. The 
 soil well repays the labor of cultivation, and the fa- 
 cilities for manufacturing are more valuable than 
 the productiveness of the land. Cotton manufiic- 
 turing was commenced here in 1808.

 Specimens of which are seen at his office, and what 
 is better, in the mouths of several who are now using 
 them, to whom reference will be given, if desired. 
 Teeth inserted in this way are more natural, more 
 perfectly lltted to the mouth, and possessed of great- 
 er strengtli. The editor of the Dental Recorder, of 
 this method, says : " W'e art constrained to bdicve that 
 it is destin-'d to supersede the old mode altogether.'" 
 
 All operations on Teeth, Filling, Regulating, &c , 
 attended to in his usual careful and t xorough man-

 PATEIV T SPIEAL SPRIMi BEDSTEAD 
 
 Gets the uniform testimony of all who see it in 
 favor of its 
 
 UNDENIABLE SUPERIORITY. 
 
 Prominent among its advantages, is the simplicity 
 of its construction, and the ease with which it is ta- 
 ken down. Tho proprietors oifer to show that it can 
 be taken apart and put together again in sixty sec- 
 onds. Tho rails are fastened to the posts by cast 
 iron clamps screwed upon each, (altogether unlike 
 the Putnam or any other bedstead,) which so inter- 
 lock each other that a metal key dropped between 
 them effectually confines tho posts and rails. The 
 canvas that covers the springs is buttoned upon the 
 side rails, andean be easily taken off. 
 
 It is the most portable thing out. The ordinary 
 bed either doubles not at all or only once ; the 
 springs of this can be doubled to occupy a space six- 
 inches deep by a foot in width. 
 
 As a bed it ic improved. The springs are slight- 
 ly elevated at the head, and are otherwise adapted 
 to sustain equally and comfortably the weight of 
 weary sleepers. Its elasticity is unsurpassed. 
 
 Orders received at their Shop in Nashville,- 
 OPPOSITE THE INDIAN HEAD HOUSE,

 No bed of their invention allowed to be manu-
