ORANGE COUNTY.
-Williamstown has of late been con.
siderably excited in regard to the To-
cation of a soldiers monument. At the
annual March meeting it was voted TO
erect a suitable memorial monument, and
"set it upon hilr' at the extremity of
the village. That locationinot being gen.
orally satisfactory, another meeting was
called, and it was voted to buy the old
Baptist church grounds, and erect the
monument thereon All were not pleased
at this; and third meeting decided to
have 1t upon the village green. The
Freeman suggests that fourth meeting
may possibly be called to locate it in the
cemetery, which place has many advo-
Gates. As compromise, the memorial
shaft might be built upon wheels. and
trundled from locality to locality, until
the desires of all are gratifed.
