Steps are being taken to give practi-
cal effect to the commendable work of
placing substantial markers at the old
historic sites and places ON Newfane
hill. The town of Newfane has APP
the sum of $50 for this pur
pose but the amount is insufficient, in
view of what is now proposed to be
done. There are few graves on the
hill outside of the large cemetery which
should be included in this work, and
as there are relatives of some of those
buried there, who would no doubt be
glad to contribute to the fund which
is to be used for the purpose of mark
ing these graves. the gentlemen hay
ing the matter in charge hope that
these relatives and all others will feel
like contributing at once to this COM
undertaking. The names of
the gentlemen having this matter in
,harge and to whom relatives and 9TH
,rs can send their subscriptions are S.

purpose should be placed in the hands
