Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Family Magazine, or Monthly Abstract of General Knowledge, 1837-8, Vol. 5 From the first settlement of this place, it has con tinned to increase gradually in population and busi ness. New accessions have been made yearly by emigrants from Massachusets and Connecticut, and some from the eastern part of this state. It was with much difficulty that they made their way through the wilderness to this then new settlement. The early settlers were industrious, frugal, and moral; and a large preportion of them, religious people, who were proverbial for their friendly intercourse, and acts of kindness and hospitality to each other and to. New comers. Several of the first inhabitants have remarked to me, that, notwithstanding the 'de privations they had to endure, those were happy days. Under God, we are indebted in no small de gree, to those Pilgrims for the distinguished, reli gions, moral, and intellectual rivilegss, which, people, we now enjoy, and or the good order that prevails throughout our community.
