NORTH MAIN STREET. William Pendley, Giandisou D. Foote. THE SOLDfER.SVJMOXUJlENT. This <rr;inite shaft, commemorative of the patriot dead nf Daiilmry, stands on the plot of grniiiid made vacant by tlie removal of the First C'ongn'jiational church, at the intersection of West with Main Street, and was unveiled with appropriate ceremonies June 27,-lS,'(0. It is of "Westerly granite, and stands, eonii>leted, thirty-two feet high. It is a circular column resting upon si.x pieces consisting of lower base, plinth, mould, die, cap, and eolunm mould. These several parts make a combined height of ten feet. The column is twelve feet high, with a diam- eter of twenty-six inches; the cap surmounting the column is two feet, and upon this rests the figure of a soldier bearing a flag in his right hand, while against his left side rests a cavalry sword. The figure is five feet eight inches high, and the staft'of the flag is two feet higher. On the die on the side facing Main Street is the inscription : TO OUR BROTHERS, BELOVEI>, HoNORF.n, UEVEUrD, WHO DIED THAT Orn CovNTRY Mkiht Live. On the West Street face is THE DEFENDERS THE UNION. The other two siiles are lilank. Tlie shaft or column is encircled with a liand, on which are engraved the names of prominent battles, as follows: Bull Run, Wilderness, Antietam, Fred- ericksburg, Gettysburg, C'haneellorsville, Ajijuimat- to.x, Petersburg, Port Hudson. The whole, excei)t the figure, is of gninite. The figure is of Italian marble and was carved in Italy. The price of the whole was four thousand d<jllars, liut the committee secured it for three thousand five hun- dred dollars, the builders donating five hundred dol- lars towards the cost. In a western town is a monu- ment nearly like it, which cost seven thousand dollars, and engravings of it show it to be not half .so hand- some. The peojde of Danbury are to be congratulated on securing this handsome work of art as a nienioritil to her noble dead. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. JOIIX ^\'. BACON.
