On Septembers, 1764, the grantees,
having represented that the north
and west sides of their grant were
rocky and mountainous, received
an additional grant of territory, on
the e.ast and south side, called
“ Sandwich Addition.” It was
incorporated, October 25,    1768.

Hon. Daniel Beede, a useful cit-
zen, resided here many years.

Early Minister. Rev. Daniel
Smith, settled in 1827; dismissed
in 1832.

Boundaries. North by Water-
ville, east by Albany and Tam-
worth, south by Moultnnborough,
and west by Holderness, Campton
and Thornton. Area, 64.000 acres;
improved land,23,900 acres.

Distances. Fifty-two miles
north from Concord, and twenty-
two north-west from Ossipee.

Railroads. It is sixteen, miles
to Meredith railway station, on
the Montreal Railroad. A stage
runs to this station six times a
week. In the summer, this stage
connects with the boats, at Centre
Harbor. The Portland, Rutland
and Otsego Railroad, when built,
will pass through Sandwich.

SEABROOK.

Rockingham County. Sea-
brook is one of the ocean towns,
of the State, and has extensive
plains of salt marsh. The middle
and eastern portions of the town
are comparatively level, being in
many sections gentle swells, The
soil is light, easy of cultivation,
and productive. The farmers find
a good market for their farm pro-
duce in Newburyport, Mass., five
miles distant. But few towns in
the State, in proportion to the
number of acres under improve-
ment, produce as valuable crops.

The land averages $ 20.90 to every
acre under improvement, while
the average in the whole State is
only $ 9.32.

Streams. Cam’s Brook has its
rise in Salisbury, Mass., and flows
through the south-east part of the
town, and in its passage affords a
few water privileges of moderate
power. Several small streams
rise iu this and adjacent towns,
and form the Seabrook River, in
the marshes. In its course, it
unites with the Hampton River,
and thence, in a few miles, joins
the ocean. The beach is a favor-
ite resort in the warm season.

Elevations. Titcomb’s Hill,
which lies partly in this town and
partly in South-IIampton, and
Grape Hill, in the south-west part
of the town, and partly in Massa-
chusetts, are the principal eleva-
tions. From the summit of these
hills an extensive and delightful
view of the surrounding country
can be obtained.

Employments. Agriculture is a
valuable occupation of the people,
but the manufacturing of women’s
and children’s boots and shoes, is
the most extensive branch of busi-
ness. The stock is cut out and
prepared for bottoming, and put
into cases of 60 pairs each, in Lynn
and Haverhill, Mass., and sent to
the workmen in Seabrook, to be
finished into shoes. There are
three large shoe manufactories
having machines, and employing
65 men and boys, and 15 women.
These three factories annually
make over 300,000 pairs. There
are many shoe shops, in vari-
ous sections of the town, which are
filled with workmen. There are
over 1,000,000 pairs of boots and
shoes annually made, giving em-
