The plan for raising funds To complete the

agency of postmasters, seems likely to
prove successful. About four thousand
circulars, We are informed, were sent ou,

scarcely expected that any returns would

and The cost OF putting up boxes had to
be deducted from the amounts con,ribu.
ted, but the average receipts are hirhlv
encouraging. The smallest amour, ,ha,
has been seut is % cents, and the largest
9lS, the latter from the city Of Wheeling,
Virginia. When it is recoliected that tnc
former sum, insignificant as it appeprs. is
nearly double what would be reauired
from each place, monthly, to complete the
monument ~ a few wears, the entire prac.
tcab'Irty OF the project will appear #
only requires the universal co operation
OF postmasters to ensure its success, and
thus far all that have been heard from
have promised cordial co operation to
the enterprise. New York city, Charles
ton, Providence, X. l., and the little town
OF Pn'nam, in Ohio, have each sent moe
than $40. These four returns would make
up the average for about $50 towns that
might contribute nothing at all. Two or
three months will be required TO fairly
test the project, but there is little douh,
that 1t must ultimately succeed. The let
lers enclosing the remittances are kept on

Society, it is intended, at stated intervals
to publish complete lists Of the amounts
received and the places where they we're
