Dedication of the Cornwall
Monument.

\ more suspicious day could not have
been chosen. There was just snow enough
to make excellent sleighing, and the sun
contributed his share toward the delight
full combination of circumstances which
rendered the occasion an exceedingly
pleasant one. At an early hour on Tues
day morning, the sleighs began to gather
at the scene of the celebration. When
we arrived, we found a number gathered
around the monument, inspecting its
workmanship and reading the inscription.
The monument is of b IRE Granite, con-
sisting of single shaft the height we do
not remember, restinE on a base OF the
same material, the whole constituting the
most perfect symmetry in its proportions
On one side is the very appropriate device
Of shield and over it, in raised letters,
the inscription, Cornwall Remembers. >"
On the other are inscribed the names of
the fallen braves, the date and place of
their deaths The following is the list:
Adam II. Potter, James l. Fenton, Cal
win Clair. Thomas ID. Peck, Emerson
Mathew, Alva X. Barlow, Joseph St Mary,
Sergt. Allen Il. Wilson, Major Stillman
II. Smith, Capt. VIM. r. Baxter, Scrgt
Romeo r. Peck, Loyal Darling, Nelson
Baxter, Sergt. Linus f. Fverts, Sergt
Truman J. Lane, Capt. Merrill L. Samson,
Chas. L. Stearns.
On the top Of the spite rests the "Amer-
lean Eagle, holding in his talons
huge cannon ball This is marble. The
stars and stripes hung over it for the oc-
casion.
At eleven o'clock the assembly, which.
though not large, was quite respectable,
gathered in the church, and the commem-
Grafton exercises were commenced with
prayer by the Rev 5. w. Magin. Then
followed brief histories OF the deceased,
whose memories he had assembled to com.
memorate, by Henry Lane Esq, of Corn
wall. This part was performed in excel
lent taste, with neither senseless lauda-
ton nor unjust reflection upon any. IT
should become part of the written his
tory of our great struggle for the main
tenance of our cherished liberties, and we
only regret our present inability to give
it in full, as we hope to do at some future
day.
The presiding officer, Col E. s. Stowell
then introduced Col. Wheelock G. yeazey,
OF Rutland, who gave an address which
was at once tender and pathetic and elo-
quently sublime. With only occasional
reference to his notes, he held his audience
spell-bound, for an hour or more, rather
by the thoughts he uttered than by any
grace OF dIction or power of delivery,
though in these respects we doubt whether
he laid himself open to adverse criticism.
Good judges, who heard both this and his
address before the Officers Reunion So
ciety at Montpelier, which was SO much
admired, affirm that he surpassed himself
on this occasion. We are inclined TO take
that view of it. and account for it on the
superstition that this was more inspiring

That from tie information your COM
miliee can obtain, the most effective mode
Of rnisiBg means for the Purposes above
Indicated, will be by and through the

NJ same they recommend that the Police
court Of Dallas county, be Petitioned TO
take such steps as the law authorizes, to
procure the means by taxation. This is
believed to be not only the most effective but
the most equitable manner Of Obtaining
the same In case the Court should not be
satisfied that sufficient power and authority
80 70 do, is conferred By law upon IT, then
your c0mmif tee would RECOMMEND that the
same be raised by private subscription.
They think the sum Of -, 900 will be ssfi-
