&1%The people of the State generally
are becoming aware that the time has
arrived to do something in perpetuation
of the memory of those who fell in de-
tense of their country during the rebel
lion. Brandon is about to erect n
soldiers monument; Rutland has just
voted So 900 for the erection of a mem
orial hall; Benson at its recent town
meeting appropriated $4,000 for a
soldiers monument, and similar pro-
iects are on foot in other towns. Few
States sent more good soldiers to the
front than Vermont, and yet almost no
State has done so little to commemorate
the service they rendered. If memorial
structures are ever to be erected, it must
be soon begun. TO many of those now
active in affairs the rebellion seems
nearly as far in the past as the Revelu-
ton. They have imdistinct remembrance
of the excitement of war times, and that
is all. A new generation has already
come up since the war ended, while ever
the youngest of those who went out a
soldiers are now well on in years. If
therefore, enduring honors are no
