as 'un-Americsn," by a portion of the
citizens of New Haven.
On the 2lst of August, 1S4S, the Clinton
County Military association celebrated the
anniversary of the Battle of Plattsburg.
Brigadier General Wool and other veterans
of the war of 1912 took prominent part
in the celebration. Monuments were
erected both to the American and British
officers who fell on the 9th of September,
1914, at the memorable battle of Platts-
burg. General Wool, who commanded a
detachment of regular troops in that bat
tie, erected the monument to Colonel
wellington of the Third regiment of British
Buffs. In his remarks General Wool said
"The duty assigned me is no less graft
fying to me than it Ia honorable and msg-
nauimous to its authors, and will furnish
an example worthy OF imitation for all
| time to come. 1t is not less holy and
pious Offering to the illustrions dead than
| the offspring of noble AT generous hearts
\ to fallen foe, and Will furnish themes OF
praise TO the end of time. 1t will be a
healing balm to the wounded hearts of rel
atives and friends, whilst it will not rail to
call forth from every Briton who pouIs
over this consecrated spot tears Of graft

The stockholders of the New York, New

and others who are interested In its work,
will read the circular which we print this
morning with close attention. This cir
cular announces that thirteen thousand,
three hundred and twenty-three shares of
the stock of the company. now held in it's
treasury, are offered for sale. Sealed bids
for it are asked for, and the bids will be
opened at eleven o'clock in the forenoon

the conversion" of stocks of other roads
which have been held by the company, and
its sale will bring very pretty penny
into the treasury. If it sells for $3.50 a
share the proceeds will be $3.50, 750.
The stock will undoubtedly be gobbled
up at good price. The sale offers a fine
opportunity to become large stockholder
in the road. or fine opportunity for a

1t also offers fine opportunity for skill
