"The congregation of large number Of
individuals under rather adventurous cir
cumstances, but having a common Object ia
view, has been followed by a steadily in
creosing degree Of harmony aud good feel
ing, commensurate only with the rapidify OF
their improvement. Among the peculiar
influences which have operated TO bring
about so great success In so short period
Of time, the energy, zeal and interest Of the
inhnhitnnts stands most conspicuous They
hnve permitted q tax TO I've levied, the current
yenr, of fourteen mills on the dollar, on all
the property IN the district, over and above
the State tux, for educational purposes, and
when this fund wns found insufficient, indi-
vilrinIs have voluntarily subscribed consid.
ernble amounts. In all the records Of edu.
cation there has never been instanced town
or village where the canse of improvement
has been us literally sustained as in this
place.

fostered and sustained by the publication OF
two daily papers; one by the male the other
