[277] It is pleasant to know that the settlement at Peterborough has
continued to flourish, as the following extract from the late John F.
Maguire's "Irish in America" will show.--"The shanty, and the wigwam,
and the log-hut have long since given place to the mansion of brick and
stone; and the hand-sleigh and the rude cart to the strong waggon and
the well-appointed carriage. Where there was but one miserable grist
mill, there are now mills and factories of various kinds. And not only
are there spacious schools under the control of those who erected and
made use of them for their children, but the 'heavy grievance' which
existed in 1825 has long since been a thing of the past.
