the present memorial. According to the in.
scriptiohs, the land upon which the monumen,
stands was given BY the Free Masons. The
corner stone was laid by Lafayette in 1926,
Daniel Webster being the orator. 1t was
eighteen years in erecting, and cost one hun
bred and fifty thousand dollars. 1t was com.
pleted in 1S4S, and Daniel Webster in
the zenith Of his fame, was again tie orator
at the dedicatory services.
Not far from Bunker Hill is public square,
upon which is erected the Soldiers and Sailors
monument, a fine piece of sculpture done in
granite. at cost Of $50, 600. This monument
is thirty three feet 10 height, and is surmount-
ed BY three life size figures. At the right, a
soldier fully equipped for battle, at the left a
sailor, in the centre the goddess Of liberty. A
pleasing incident was related in connection
with this monument and a South Carolina
regiment which came north two years ago to
attend the centennial celebration Of the battle
Of B. Hill. On the morning Of the celebra-
ton this monument was found wreathcd with
the choicest flowers. And it was discovered
that the Carolina regiment had procured them
and quietly decorated this memorial Of our
nations dead. When Massachusetts, and
South Carolina thus join forgiving hands, we
can well believe that sectional strife is ended.
Charlestown, now regarded as part of Bos-
ton, is thrifty place, containing many fine
buildings. The Charlestown high school is q
fine brick edifice, containing all the appur-
tenances for imparting instruction. The state
prison located here Is built of granite. With
in its solid walls Pomeroy, n-the boy muir
der,-is immured for life l was told that
from his infancy he took delight in giving and
witnessing pain, frequenting the slaughter
houses and cultivating his unnatural appetite
for blood, until at the age of fourteen, he be :
gan his course Of crime by shocking fortunes
Of children younger than himself. And yet a
spirit of false sympathy prompts certain
pseudo philanthropists to make efforts to OBJ
tain a pardon for this young monster
observe that the stone used in and around
Boston for monumental and architectural pur-
poses is granite, varying in color from dark
gray to flesh red. The famous Quincy
granite has finer grain than our Rock Town
granite, but do not like the color so we'll, it
being Of a whitish gray and does not lcok SO
durable.

For THE RECORD.
LAMBERrvrLLE, N. j., Aug. 18th,

LAMBERTvILLE, N. j., Aug. 18th, IT.
BUILD Up HOME INTERESTS. One cannot
fail to observe the proneness of a large num-
Der Of the well-intentioned people of many
communities, in every department of business
enterprise, to extend their patronage to those
who have no claims upon them, away from
their interests, and who do not furnish superb
or Inducements to what can be produced at
home. Such course, as natural result,
causes home enterprise to decline and die,
solely for want of encouragement that is due
it, but which wrongfully drifts into channels
other than where it belongs.
The above may be applied to some of our
citizens in feao particulars, but it is our pur-
pose at this time to mention but one of the
many features observable, and it is this, the APP
titude that is frequently exhibited by our peo-
pie when the services of brass band are
needed to secure musicians from abroad
which long has been gross injustice to our
fellow-citizens, number of whom are veter-
ans from Carpenters celebrated Cornet Band,
and have long been DESTROYS of securing the
proper encouragement to enable them again
to take the place they once filed with honor.
1t may be urged that this would have been
impracticable, that the band has not been or
ganized, and could not under the circumstance
es have given proper satisfaction. 1t is true
that there has been no efficient organization
of this kind here for years, but this does not
explain why our baud is not in that state of
proficiency 1t does not make it clear that
what now is might not have BEEN" Effect
follows cause, and had the proper inducements
been held out to those who are real musicians
(but who cannot well afford to speculate) we
feel pretty confident that there would now be
no need of that longing desire we frequently
hear condensed in the following, Oh, only
wish we could have first-class band here .
and other expressions of similar tenor.
However, we are glad to know that a move
ment is now on foot that promises thor
ough reconstruction Of first-rate band (if it
meets with proper encouragement) and our
prospects for music--in this direction--appear
more iattering than for years.
The effort, under such circumstances, should
turn public attention in their favor and elicit
aid. The new band should be employed when
ever and wherever practicable the hand of
liberality should be extended to them, SO that
financial embarrassments may not cool their
ardor at the start, and then we venture TO say
that the band elements will again be CONSOLE
dated, become prominent and flourish.
FAIR PLAY.

HORSE INJURED.-On Saturday night last
as Mr.. Eleazer Doan was driving into the
lane of the Oliver Paxson property, in New
Hope, team-being driven little recklessly
on the pike-ran into his horse and made
things somewhat confused for few moments
The animal sustained considerable injury.
Besides this, luckily, there was little actual
damage done. Racing on the pike, at night,
is dangerous pastime, especially when there
is much travelling as is generally the case in
and about town.

OLD PAPERs.-The Hunterdon Democrat

of the building two pieces of time-stained pa
per, which bear the following messages.
written in clear hands The first reads:
Dec 18th, f776
hereby certify that Samuel Thatcher this day took
the oath of fealty before me. G. SHIMoR.
On the reverse side of this certificate is
written the following official endorsement:
1t is his Excellency L. General Lord Corvallis his

We trust that Samuel escaped molestation
from Geo. Washington's rebels " and that
he lived to a good old age happy in the
thought "his Excellency Lord CORVALLIS, ;"
had forbidden all persons on any account to
presume to modest or injure him." Loyalty
is commendable, surely.

knowledge of your reputation. / take
the liberty of addressing you now with
great distrust Of the propriety of doing
so, p~refacing it by saying that Ispeak
without authority from any n and
represent only my W views. The
situation of public affairs in South Car
DINA is too complicated to be discussed
at length In a note, and yet impresses
me as that ought to be changed by
the policy of Republican statesmen In
such a way as not only to remove all
controversy that disturbs that state, but
to remove all embarrassments arising
from it tothe party in other parts of the
country. 1t has occurred to me to sug-
gest, whether, by your concurrence
and cooperation, an understanding
couldn't be arrived at which would OBJ
viate the necessity for the use of federal
arms to support either governments,
and leave that to stand which was best
able to stand of itself. Such'a course
would relieve the administration from

How They Fee, in the Capitol.

Washington, March 10.-There is
much favorable comment upon the ac-
ton of the Senate in confirming the
cabinet appointments. 1t is the i'm
preston that the administration will
without delay put into effect, through
the various executive departments, the
policy outlined in the inaugural.
The President this afternoon and
evening was congratulated upon the
fact that the government is now fully
organized. All the new members of
the cabinet will take the oath of office
on Monday, and enter Immediately
upon their respective duties. The first
cabinet meeting will be held on Tuesday.
In accordance with custom. Mrs.
Hayes held her first reception at the
White House this afternoon. 1t was
very numerously attended by the prin-
cipal ladies resident in Washington,
and included a large and distinguished
representation Of unofficial people as
well,
