Permanent and Beautiful.

Yesterday afternoon we paid a visit
to the cemetery to examine the new
White Bronze monument Just erected
by Messrs Martin & Henry, Agents for
this county. 1t is beautiful piece of
art standing II feet inches high, and
is elabora tely ornamented. The monu-
ment is surmounted by beautiful
statue Of Hope, three feet in length.
Four panels are arranged to receive
whatever design and inscription
may be desired at any time. The metal
from which these monuments are
made is lmpervious to the ravaHes Of
time and stand unaltered and unchang-
ed. Their methods of manufacture,
affords unlimited variety in ornament
tation without extra cost. Those de-
string appropriate and permanent
for the graves of their dead,
should call and examine this beautiful
before giving their order
elsewhere. Samples, prices and par
tlculars can be had by applying to ]
Messrs Martin & Henry.
