But it does not appear that these men occasioned the town any trouble or expense. The town cheertully bore its expense in the war, furnish- ed its proportion of soldiers, and sent a delegate to vote in the acceptance and ratitication of both the state and the national constitutions. For the benefit of those who were called into the army, a hospital was erected, that they might receive the small pox by inoculation. The small pox was common in the country at that time, and for several years after.... But the dreadful malady seems now to be almost exterminated trom the earth, by the benign and happ}' effects of kine pox inoculation. Much of the heavv military stores, which during the war of the revolution, were carried from Boston to Albany, passed through this town. And previous to the opening of turn-pikes upon the rivers east and west of us, the main road through the town was much travelled. In a few instances some individuals have refused to paj- their taxes, and in a few cases the town has been involved in a law- suit, and in one instance in the year 1776 rebelious feelings rose to such a pitch as to render it necessary to appoint a committee to secure the glass windows in the meeting house.
