I did not succeed ; t; times were not ripe for them. 1 have often wondered that our business men have n : been quickened to realize the cash value to a town of such historical mementoes, even they were not moved by sentiment. The historical interest of your town and its milegendary lore have added enormously to the attractiveness of your natural advantages and made it the home of more millionaires than any other town of its size in America.

I thank you for the copy of your paper, containing your charming historical sketch I have long realized how greatly you have contributed to these ends. Yours sincerely,

Frederic Shonnakd.

Dear Mr. Raymond: -- I wish to express my gratification and satisfaction with yesterday's celebration. It was a decided success. You are entitled to many thanks for the untiring energy and great skill you have displayed in its organization.

Such affairs excite civic pride, and create a love for home as well as for the nation. They are greatly to be commended. We are all prouder to-day, not only that we arc Americans, but because we are citizens of Westchester Countv, too.

Judge Mills' address was of a high order. Such men add greatly to our common wealth. With respect, * Yours truly,

D. O. Bradley.

Dear Mr. Raymond : -- Lost, one of the events of my life ! But really, in behalf of my worthy ancestors, I must at least thank you for doing so much to perpetuate the memory of those Revolutionary sires. As to my going to the Dedication , the Synod of New Jersey was in our city till Thursday afternoon, leaving me in just that condition that I did not see how I could leave.
