M. E,ijtor.-Wc noticed a short time
since in the Courier, an account OF the con
aaaration'' of Concord Monument, and were
,.atbrr at a loss to know what 1t meant.
l.;sure day enabled us to visit Concord, and
~. w;tncssed ourselves the corner stone
rnorldcrinc. or rather. looking back into
hean of dust and ashes. 1t was true that
An,o of co,nbustibes had been raised on this
CORNER stone and burnt. 1t seems the good
neonle of Concord are at variance where
,h;s monument should be placed, or whcth-
er il should be placed at all; and, after vari'
ous disputes and arguments on the SUBJECT,
tbcv came to the conclusion that "medla
vi, tutissima est" and therefore placed it
in the middle of the road, near the town
numn--thc corner stone was laid on the 10Th
of Ai,ril last. A short time since monu-
,nent was raised about this corner stone con-
sisting of barrels, kegs, and candle boxes,
surmountcd by jug of rum, the whole beng
about fifteen or twenty feet high. This
monumental pile was set fire to on the night
after its erection, and, Notwithstanding ITS
proximity to the town pump, 1t was suffered
to burn down in silence. We we're tempted
to deny this account, and set it down as the
fabrication of some industrious wag, but
found it fully corroborated by the assertions
of respectable men in the neighbourhood.
