OLD POSTOFFICE GOING.
Salisbury Points Has Been Running
Since 1890.

AMESBURY, Mass, March 1O-The recent
order of the postofflce department at
Washington, extending the free delivery
system of the Amesbury postofllce to include
Salisbury Point, will call for the discontinue
ance of the ancient office in that section Of
the town, which has been in existance since
about 1890. The Point at that time was the
busiest portion of Amesbury, and there near
ly all its industries were located.
The postofflce there was the only one
north Of the Merrimac river at that time, and
was located in the store kept by captain
Colby, dealer in West Indies goods. Capt
Edwin Wadleigh was the first postmaster,
receiving his commission from Gen. Wash
ington. The building In which this ancient
office was first located Is still in existence.
and occupied as storehouse by Hiram
Lowell. 1t Is nearly opposite the present
office, and Is an ordinary two-story struct-
ure.
Along the Point shore live many citizens
who do not favor the abolishing Of the old
office, and it is limited that IA petition may be
sent to Washington asking for its retention.
The older residents especially argue for its
retention, as any innovation in the delivery
of mail would be much less welcome to them
than their office, which in the more than 100
years of its existence has had but six post
masters.

Leipsic is, comparatively speaking.
the most phenomenal one. In 1888 -
but eight years ago-its population
was 175, 900. Now it has passed the

measure, it is true, to the incorpora-

this too rapid increase in population
