The Municipal Council of Caudebec-lea-Eibeuf recently decided (says the Paris ‘ Liberie 1 to destroy; a magnificent gtnn», “ Calvary,”' in the middle of its cemetery. No contractor, however, would undertake the odious job, so the Council' decided to do it themselves, and, armed with pickaxes and other instruments, went in: a body to attack the object of their dislike. They first loosened the stones at the foot of the cross, then threw a rope, round: the arm of the cross, : pulled it down, broke it into fragments, and threw the'bits into the road. The following curious epitaph is said to be in Woolwich. Churchyard r—“ Sacred to the memory of Major J. Brush, Royal Artillery, who was killed by the accidental discharge of a pistol hy his orderly, 14th April, 1851. ‘Well done, thou good .and faithful servant.’”
