BUNKER HILL MONUMENT.

The celebration Ofthe anniversary of
tho battle Of Bunker Hill, will be at.
tended by one Of the largest and most
imposing assemblsges Of American cili.
zens ever witnessed in this country
Preparations on the grandest scale are
making. and strangers frem the extremes
ofthe most distant States are on their
pilgrimage 10 the classic ground.
The monument was first projected in
1924. but little was effected farther than
the formation Of an association for the
purpose Of procuring funds. On the l7th
June, tha anniversary Of the Battle, and
on the occasion Of Lafayelte's particpa-
ting in the festivities Of the celebration,
the corner stone was laid in presence Of
an immense collection Of people, and
hundreds Of those who on the l7th June
l775. had thrown down the implements
of their calling, rushed 10 the conflict oI
freedom against the serried columns oI
Britain's choicest soldiery, and survived
the bloody stllfe to witness this first
honorable effort to construct lie enduring
memorial.
From this time till '27, nothing further
was done, in which year aud till August
of the following, fourteen courses were
laid, when the funds we're exhausted and
the work was suspended ill '34, in the
summer ofwhlch year was resumed;
sixteen courses more were put up, and
again operations were suspended, up to
this time about $76 900 had been ex
pended. At this crisis Of affairs. the Ia,
dies, true to their nature, when bravery
is 10 be commemorated and their coun.
try honored, proposed a National Fair, to
which all their sex could contribute,
which was held in Boston in September,

ally realized from their lSbors, with the
slight aid Of individuals, a cum am
