Tho "SdS,mcrilHd Messenger" is the
title of very handsome and credilable an.
pearins literary sheet, Vol. ]. NJ. of
which came TO our table on Sturdy last.
1t Is dated at Boston. but we notice that all
communications are to be addressed to T.
/. James, Bratueboro, Vt. 1t contains the
opening chapters OF Il new story from the
spirit pen Of Charles Dickens" and Ills
stated that The paper will be edited by the
same pen so far a. circumstances will
permit. The Messenger will undoubtedly
make itself worthy Of liberal support
among the class of believer, for whom it is
intended, although to Us it seemsaS though
Mr. Dickens was slightly OVERRIDING this
spirit pen" business.
The lat block OF the Fisk monument
was laid on Saturday. It yet lack the in
scriPtion, which will not be put on until
after the Godicatiou. The monument con-
sistS of marble shan about 20 feet In
height, surrounding which are four female
hsures Of life size. one has on her diadem
a carved model of a Sound boat; in her
hand She holds book, on which is the
word Steamboat Another has on her
diadem an Erie train, and on her book is
written Railway" The third is covered
with huge chaplet and armed with mu-
steal instruments, symbolizing the Grand
opera House and Opera Boufie. The fourth
is holding bag of money and represents
commerce" In design and execution
the monument is worthy Of the artist. and
will be admired by thousands.
The Liberia! Christian N. YJtbinks
that Bratileboro folks have forgotten the
origin and significance Of Decoration Day"
because they pufposc 10 celebrate the COM
ing anniversary by dcdicatins a mouu-
ment 10 james Fisk, Jr." We don't relish
being made a scape- goat for the sins of orr
coniempo,ary's nciahbors, whom il ought
TO have converted years ago, and therefore |
take occasion 10 say that this dedication |
business is something which Brattleboro A
has nothing whatever TO do with. andIl
il Fisk's old New York chums see iii toll
come on here, on Decoration Day. to deli- |
cate his monument, we can't help it. Wd |
may also add, that if, a. has been suggest |
ed, they should decide to bring Mr.. EdL |
ward 5. Stokes to deliver the dedicatorI |
address, 1t would undoubtedly ensure tlie |
perfect success of the whole affair. while Ii |
would certainly materially enhance the ii
tereSi of the people Of Brattleb,r1 in uh
exercises.
