WASHINGTON MoNUMENT-We notice
tha. in several of our neighboring towns,
boxes have been opened at the Post
Office, for the purpose of giving to all who
may desire it, an opportunity to contribute
something towards the erection of the
Washington Monument The idea is Ger
tsinly good one, and the object for which
contributions are thus sought eminently
trustworthy. We are not aware that
similar box has yet been opened at our
Ebensburg Post Office. Would it not be
well for our enterprising and gentlemanly
Post Master to try the experiment? Hard
as the times may be, we doubt not there
are many of our citizens who will be
ready and willing to contribute something
towards erecting a monument to the man
who was " first in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his countrymen."
