 "0ur Sol 'rs,' This monument was
 tafpl from the ball and placed in the
 wagon of the Grand Central Hotel, and
 b0mo in line. which was formed nnd
 started fnr tho C m tery. pnior tho
 directions of the marshal and his aids,
 Mes7s, Sni.Iln. Dayton. and Lillis. The procession, on reaching the cemetery
 gate halted, and the occupants of tho
 several teams got out m formed a line.
 The monument wns taken Into tho eeme-
 tory along m;n an abunlan 70 O. llGwtrS
 and on reaching the lut of Marshal A.
 w. Peek, the monument was sat upon
 the ground. and ns Mir Wilson repeated
 the words. In memory of those whose
 memory we cherish" tho Howe were
 laid around the baso. This closed the
 ceremony, and the lno was again form
 cd and headed for Sandy Hook and
 Berkshire where tho samo ceremony
 was gone through with.
 We regret that we could not attend
 with the committees at all tho cometer-
 les, and if thero Is anything Omittel
 which should be mentioned we will be
 pleased to have somo one inform u, of it.
 In our last issue there were 'veral unavoidable mistakes. One of these we
 now call to mind was tho publishing of the ramo of Mrs. Julia A. Curtis as ono
 of the committee. It should have been
 Miss Julia A. Murray and Miss Julia Curtis, as both ladies were placed upon the Sandy Hook and Berkshire commit tee. It is also nOteL that there were several names placed upon list for the purpose of organizing Grand Army post in Newtown, and it is to be hoped that it will be successful. All soldiers wishing to join are requested to send in . their names to Dr. W. c. Vile, Sandy Hook, or Mir. Charles Rininsland, Ncwtown.
 Since the agitation of the proper observance of Memorial Day has result cd 80 well, we wish te call attention to tho suggestion of Dr. Vile, made at Glover's Hall, that the ladies of this town take immediate steps to procure monument to be erected in memory of the dead soldiers of tn s town. Othor towns have paid this tribute; why not Newtown? The ladies can do this if they will but try.
 We have not been able to learn the names of all who contributed flowers for decorative purposes, but we feel assured that by the time the next Memorial Day comes around there need be no fears of what vii be done, and that N N,wton . will do it's share nobly.
 The subioined list of deceased soldiers have been kindly sent to us for publica- I ton, and we will continue to publish other names as soon as sent to us either by the secretary or friends of the soldiers.
