The first mail-coach was set up at Bristol by John Palmer, Aug. 2, 1784.

Generally, however, the schools were under the charge of the Selectmen until March 23, 1795, when a committee, consisting of Caleb Gannett, Mr. Gannett declined, and Josiah Moore was substituted. Rev. Abiel Holmes, Maj. John Palmer, William Locke, Jonathan Winship, Rev. John Foster, and Rev. Thaddeus Fiske, was chosen for the purpose of superintending the schools in this town, and carrying into effect the School Act. The only material change since that period consists in the appointment of a Superintendent of schools, in 1868, who acts, however, under the general direction of the School Committee, and is their executive officer. At a town-meeting, March 3, 1794, a committee was appointed to divide the town into
