HISTORIC MEMORIAL.
Interesting Incidents About the Mian-
 tonomo Monument.

Interesting Incidents About the Mian-
 tonomo Monument.
 Lowthorpe writes to the Norwich Record as follows: A paragraph in the Record of recent date concerning the Miantonomo monument, above Greene vile, recalls some incidents that may be worthy of remembrance.
 It was in 1S41, a year before the Un- cas monument on Sachem street was completed, that the late William C.. Gilman and his associates" with d view to the erection of a simple memo rial of Miantonomo, invited the venera- ble Judge Shipman, father of Rev. Thomas Letfingwell Shipman and grandfather of the present distin- guished Judge Nathaniel Shipman of the United States circuit court of ap- peals, to go with them to Sachem's S Plain and point out the spot where he remembered to have seen in his early boyhood the great pile of rough stones heaped up by the Narragansetts, in their wanderings through the country, to mark the grave of their great chief tain.
 As they were entering the field one of the party said to the judge please try to remember Q shady place, if you can!" The old gentleman surveyed the ground and advancing straightway to the shadow of a convenient tree, plant ed in the earth his silver headed cane, the ancient cane" of Lieutenant Thomas Leffingwell, friend of Uncas, and said 'as nearly as I can remember, it was not ten feet from this spot!" The company of men and women, boys and girls, and members of the Cold Water Army" who assembled there on the afternoon of the following Fourth of July, when the monument was first exhibited to the public, duly appreciated the shady place." while addresses were made, and bucket of cold water was poured over the granite block by Thomas Sterry Hunt, then a Norwich school boy, afterward the en- inent geologist of the United States and Canada, honored for his scientific at- tainments not only in this country, but in Europe.
 Some time after Rev. Thomas Ship man asked his father how he could venture to say after the lapse of so many years that that was the exact spot where in his childhood he had seen the heap of stones. Thomas" said the judge gravely, it was no time for me to balk!''
 To the elder readers of the Record all this is ancient history, but it leads to the question: What will become of the Miantonomo monument now that the surrounding land is to be used for building lots?
 It would be unfortunate indeed if one of our few memorials of the almost ex- tinct tribes should be lost to sight and remembrance in the back garden of a private dwelling or hewn into founda- tion stones for a new building. A special significance would be added to the name of the beautiful Sachem park directly opposite if its proprietors could be made the custodians of the l monument and find for it "a shady place. in their attractive pleasure grounds where 1t may remain undis- turbed for the next five and fifty years.
