That agreeable duty wg will now proceed to perform. Will Record History. “It has ever been ‘the custom on occasions like the present to deposit within a cavity in the cornerstone to be laid, certain memorials of the pe- riod at which the edifice was erected, so that, in the lapse of ages, if the fury of the elements, or the certain ravages of time should lay bare its foundation, an enduring record may be found to bear testimony to the en- e teey !
