It had been the custom In those days for the citizens of Boston to troop on board the packets which arrived from overseas in quest of letters and other tidings from England. That was all very well for a while, but as the population grew the habit became a nuisance to the skippers, who objected to having their decks made Impromptu delivery offices arid the none too spacious quarters below crowded with men and women. So the general court (as the Massachusetts legislature always has been P.;®- V.

"For preventing tbe miscarriage of letters," the quaint order read, "and it is ordered that notice be given that Richard Fairbanks his house In Boston Is the place appointed fer all letters which are brought from beyond the seas, or sre to be sent hither,, are to bee brought unto. An hee is to take care that they bee delivered or sent according to their directions, and hee Is allowed for every sucfi letter a penny." Given Llqubr Permit. John WIntbrop was governor when Fairbanks was appointed. The latter had a permit to sell "wine and strong water," and over his bar the men of Boston sipped their ale and read their mall and talked of the tidings from far away. ' Fairbanks acted as postmaster until 1677. *n January, 1673. the general court" made provision for a domestic postal service, the carriers to be paid three pence per mile for their services. Twenty years later the American post office was established and In 1085 a coach and mall service was oe» gun between Boston and Hartford.

One case Is on record where an accused man was tried, fcund guilty of burning coal, condemned and promptly executed.

Resentment became intense when ladles of rank, their faces made fairer by liberal applications of powder, underwent a curious' change of complexion whenever they sat near a coal lire. The nature iff the smoke and odor from burning coal remained a mystery until after the middle of the Seventeenth century, when an alchemist devised an Ingenious process of heating coal In the absence of air. The liquor obtained was known as "oil of coal" and was sold as a most potent remedy for many ailments.--Detrbit Neutf; -21 A Hard Audience. ^ The taxes paid by people here beloir ^Produce some grand displays of varying worth.
