Dedication of the Soldiers
Monument in MesOpOtamIa.
WARRFN. O.. o.. la, 20.

10th inst; early in the morning of that
day, I in company with Capt. c. A. Brig.
den, his wife, and my own bette--half, lef
Warren, and after a very pleasant drive
over excellent roads, through the very
pleasant country that lies between here
and our place of destination, we arrived
at the latter place in due time.
Most of yonr readers, no doubt, have
visited Mesop5tamia Center, and 1 think
all such will agree with me in saying that
nature has made it one of the most beauti.
ful "Centers" to be found in Trumbull.-
But I have neither time nor talent to de-
scribe its undulated hills, its beautiful
groves and sparkling fOuntains-and must
pass to other matters.

of the southern part of the Public Square
upon a mound raised some -four feet above
the ground level, and is Including the
