The evidence
“Spaulding, 18473 Washington Bastian, 1849; Allen Warden, 1853, As the returns of the post office are almost the best possible indices of the commerce and intelligence of a given locality, it has seemed good to present the receipts of the post office so far as known. It is believed that the following particulars relating to the increase of business in the post office will testify favorably for the intelligence and business of the town and compare advantageously with any office in the county, supplying an equal population.”
