on. We believe from what We know of
.he public sentiment, that the erection of
monument. in honor of our brave boys,
who have fallen in battle, during the late
bloody struggle, meets with the general
approved o, tho people, and all that is
necessary to obtain the few thousand dol
lars requ isitc to its erection, is, that the
subject should be in.elilgenty brought

opinion preyaleut am)ns our country

to be put up in the Court Yard, in Mifflin,
especially for the benefit Of town. Such
is not the fact The monument is to be
erected, and dedicated 70 the honor and
memory of the heroic dead, Of our whole
country The project had its origin in
town, and that has been spoken of as a
suitable place to have it erected, but the
location, as yet has not been selected.
