 In August, 1sf4, the English made nN unsuccessful attack upon Stoning- | ton. Had 1t been successful, 1t would doubtless have been followed by an attack upon Norwich, which offered great temptations for such an attack Here were several valuable mills for ! the manufacture of paper and cotton | clLth, an arsenal for the reproduction of gum carriages, and in the river and | haIbor were three ships of war, lying | fSe. bless, together with crowd of dis tGantled merchant vessels. The situation was considered very critical and preparations had beef F ade to meet 1t. In pursuance of or ters from His Excellency the Com IGander -in- Chief, the several regiments
 c imposing the Third Brigade, had | been closely inspected, and directed tc hold themselves fin readiness for ser vice at a moments warning. Sigma | poles were erected on commanding points like Lantern Hill, and if ii siculd be found necessary to give ar
 alarm, tar barrels were to be burned | on them, and the artillery companies | quick succession. ] The news of peace capTe suddenly | and great were the reJcfcings. Prep | arations were at once made for the
 revival of business. The idle ships fl the harbor made haste to resume
 their gear; the last of them, the Mace
 6onian. sailed for New London or
 April 4th.
 Although some of the manufacturing iEterests of Norwich had received a1 | Impetus from the needs of the time the general business of the town had heen thoroughly depressed. So mucf SO indeed, that 1t remained almos without growth or improvement fol
 seV eral years. From 1900 to 1920 thu population increased only 14S.
 But during this time the era of stean navigation had commenced. The Nor. E.ch Courier, in its issue of October 1y- 1916, announced: "2 o'clock D. m
 We stop the press to announce the ar rival at this port of the new Steam Boat Connecticut, Capt. Bunker" &c.
 In 1877 a regular line of steamer
 scLerseded the old packet system l with its days of uncertainty, when {
 tidr to New York was likely to con
 sume the better part of week. ,.
