many years, has been considered
a wealthy town, but its citizens
have had the reputation of contrib-
uting as much money to assist in
building western railroads and
cities, as any town in the State, in
proportion to its wealth. It is to
be hoped that it has worked no
material injury to their own town;
but if it has not, it is an exception
to the general rule in such cases.
