A Statue of General Grant.

A movement is already on foot in Bridge port to erect life-size equestrian statue of General Grant on Seaside Park. The Monu- mental Bronze company of that city offer to make the equestrian statue, mounted on 8 handsome pedestal and duly inscribed, man and horse of life size, for the bare cost or 5000. It will take about year to com plete it, and tons of metal will be required in the making. The matter has been brought to the attention of Hon. P. T. Barnum, and he at once subscribed $1O0. It is proposed to raise the amount required by popular sub scription.
 If a similar movement should be made in this city and the statue placed on Indian Head or some other desirable point in East
 Rock Park it would add much to the interest and beauty of that already attractive locality.
