tery. Asbury Park, n. j., at the high
est point in the cemetery, IN the

by Mr. Bennett.
The dimensions of the monument
are something colossal, the helght
over all being about 20 1T. Ihe smart
alone is to be in one piece about 6O
fl. long and weighs so tons, end will
be the largest piece of granite ever
ouarried in Vermont The weight OF
the monument, coping the vaults

TRANSFORMATION. and when erected IL

Jersey Quota Of Troops.

New Jersey is prepared to answer a
call for troops by the President with
900 trained and well. drilled soldiers,
according to Adiutant- General Stry-
ker. of the New Jersey National
Guard While the Acknowledgement
has not received any official commune
cation from the Federal authorities,
he has been given to understand that
it would be the part of discretion to
have the National Guard prepared to
90 on duty at an hours notice. AS a
matter of fact this is the state of
affairs. according to General Stryker,
who also declares that, although
there are 3S5, 900 men in the State
liable to military duty, in the event
of war, the probability is that not
more than from 5000 to 10000 men
would be the quota of New Jersey.
He said he believed that 10000 men
could be enlisted and under way in
side of a week. The New Jersey
militia would probably be sent to
Sandy Hook. while the Pennsylvania
troops would go to Cape May At
the first named point the United
states have some big guns that will
carry a projectile eighteen miles The
PENNSYLVANIA troops would doubtless
have their batteries in the vicinity OF
Cape May, and prevent any gunboat
from ascending the Delaware for the
purpose of bombarding Philadelphia.

ed by the Board of Inspectors, which
met few days ago. Mrs. Leeds is a
