He made the first contract with the Government for carrying its mails, and the first mail in this new service passed through Worcester on the 7th of January, 1786. The Postmaster-General reestablished the post office in Worcester March 13th, 1786, and reappointed Isaiah Thomas his deputy. After the death of John Farrar, Captain Pease bought this tavern and brought his family here. Those stage days were great days in the villages along the line and when Captain Pease driving four-in- hand awoke ...the echoes among the hills with the shrill 54 OLD TIMES IN SHREWSBURY blast from his horn, announcing the arrival of the stage coach, all was excitement until the cloud of dust disap- peared and the echo of the horn died away in the dis- tance. When Captain Pease became too feeble to hold the reins and guide the horses, he entrusted the duty to a ne- gro, under whose faithful care the business continued to prosper. The master could now ramble about his farm, fishing in its brooks, while his little granddaughter Eliza carried the bait ; or accompanied by her he took the luncheon to the hay-makers, and together they would hsten for the welcome sound of the horn as the stage- coach came rumbling into town.
