 Elegant Monumental Work Mir. John II. Cofhng caused to be erected last week in the old and new cemetries in this village some of the most elegant monumental pc dcstals we have ever seen. They came from the monumental works of Thomas Adams & Son, of Hartford. and are indeed marvels of beauty. They are constructed of Luke ChampIain granite, and are wrought in the highest style of the art. Those who are interested, and we are all interested, will not fail to observe that the pieces which compose these pedestals are placed one upon another without any lead cement, orpultY between them. This is one of the most important facts concern ing monument, and a feature that too often fails [" receive proper attention. The details of these pedcst-ls seem 10 he as carefully done as the more general parts, and all show Il most cOmmendabe txcel-- lence. The pedestal erected in the new cemetery Is to the memory of Elz tbeth, and George Cotling, chid:en of William E., and ClarissA c. Bostwick, on one side of which is the following inscription:
 "A MEMORIAL TO MY SISTERS CHILDREN
 JOHN II. QUITTING.
