 Soldiers and SailOrs' Monument.
 A prominent New Haven gentleman with a gentleman from London, England, stood on top of the soldiers monument on East Rock Saturday. The monument is now thirty feet high. They report that they saw distinctly with the naked eye Oyster Bay Highlands, Long Island, on the one side and the high lands about Shelter Island and Montauk Point on the other, 8 sweep of sixty miles; all 50 that Talcott mountains, Hartford, are to be seen from the monument. They were en- thusiastic in eulogy of the really magnificent views to be obtained from the top of East Rock and especially from the monuments top, and say that New Haven is specially to be congratulated upon having so fine and picturesque an eminence so near the city-so near that one steps, as it were, in a few moments of time from the busy arteries of the teeming, populous, hot and dusty city to the sombre quiet of cool, wooded retreats, upon high elevations and to the top of an eminence where cool breeze is so seldom absent, and whence so wide and varied an extent of landscape-city, wildwood, hill and dale, river, bay and the broad Sound is obtained. The only regret of the gen tlemen was that the monument is not to be 150 feet in height instead of 100, but they are lovers of nature and proud of the patriot ism of our brave men in the war, and re- joiee that there is to be so fine a monument in so conspicuous and commanding place as the highest eminence upon New Haven B beautiful East Rock Park.
