Last Thursday evening Harry W. Lew- is, of Pittsburg, a professional unveiler, was awarded the contrast for unveiling the monument. He arrived in Bellefonte on Wednesday evening and with several assistants is bard at work placing the apparatus and veiling in shape for the dedication. His method is one of the most modern, as both the monument and Car- tin statne will be unveiled by electricity. That is, av electric button will be placed at some convenient place which, when press. | ed, will cause the veil to fall from the monument and a shower of flags to be | thrown into the air.

Below we print an accurate list of the Revolutionary Soldiers of Centre county compiled by Mrs. Harry C Valentine of Curtin street, after several years of pa- tient effort to complete same, and thus the county has an invaluable contribu. tion for the Soldiers’ Monument soon to be dedicated. Without this the record for our county would have remained in- complete for all time, from sheer neglect to preserve names and data as regards ' Centre Hall, Geo M Boul, W Gross Mingle, David Joh: two-thirds of the names contained in Mrs. Valentine's carefully compiled ros. ter. To accomplish this the lady was obliged to enter into much research and correspondence, which perhaps no one would have uncertaken without liberal recompense and a befitting acknowledge: ment would be proper in this instance. The descendants of Revolutionary sol- diers of this county will appreciate the successful work of the lady, and to her kindness the Centre Democrate is in- debted for copy for publication.
