MEMORIES OF REVOLUTION,
Tablet Placed in New YorkyPostof6ce
to Marx Scene of BIoodshed.

New York, Jan. 15.-Thanks to the
Daughters of the American Revolution
and the derided Queen" Of Holland
Danes, patriotic sight seers who prowl
around Manhattan will occasionally run
across bronze tablets that will make
their blood Jingle. Today, on the wall
of the south corridor on the ground
floor of the general postofice, the
Daughters placed a. tablet to mark the
spot where they say the first martyr
blood of the American revolution was
shed"
The exact locality in which the kill
ling took place, however, seems to be
still in doubt. 1t was in the com
mon" now City Hall park, that the
English sailors sailed forth from their
barracks in Chambers street and at
tackled the 5000 patriots who had gath
cred to denOunce the SOldiery for de
mOlishing the liberty pole which the
Sons of Liberty had raised in the COM
mon, near the site Of what is now
known as the Postal Telegraph build
ing, at Murray street and Broadway.
On the following day, the 10th of Au-
gust, 1855, the citizens of New York be
came aroused to such a degree that
they boldly faced the English on John
street, between Burling slip and Cliff
street, and there was fought the first
battle of the revolution. the battle Of
Golden Hill. Next a special ceremony
of unwilling the tablet will take place
