 Elaborate preparations have been made for the dedication of the soldiers monument in North Haven this after non, which is placed in memory of the veterans of the Civil war. It will be an event long to be remembered by the citizens of the town, and from a spectacular point of view will be mo- table occasion.
 The monument has been erected by the town in honor of the veterans of the Civil war who enlisted from North Haven, of whom there are now but about fifteen living. The pedestal is of granite, surmounted by one of the cannon which was stationed at Light house Point during the Spanish war. It is situated in the center of the North Haven green on the site of the old church and practically in front of the new church. At one corner of the mon ument is a pile of cannon balls on a granite base, while at the opposite cor ner is large urn. This group, with the church for background and the flagstaff immediately in front, makes a most attractive appearance.
