New England Co-operative. Granite And Marble Co.

At No. 5 East Aim Street, second door east ot the postoffice, have one ot the principal estabtablishmcnts in the city, maiiulacturing and handling all kinds of granite and marble monuments, headstones, tablets, etc, etc. They also cany in .stock different sijs ofstone burial vatiks to be placed in the grave to receive the casket, instead of using brick and mortar as is usually practiced. By siinply lowering the substantial stone cover to its proper place, the tomb is closed in a much more decorous manner, tlurn avoiding any harsb, jarring sound, and the clumsy litter of broken bricks and superfluous mortar in and around the jjnives of tlie departed. The inembers of this finn are Messrs. Barney Bros., both of whoni are practical stone cutters of many years experience, who earned their degrees with ham mer and chisel at the Vermont quarries. They are jast now working out the details of a granite monument to be placed in Forest Hill Oemetery the coming season. From au inspection of the draft it wilt be massive and graceiul, although it seems to have no feature in it that we have ever seen in a monument. It must surely prove a fine acquisition to our already beautiful cemetery. This firm have, as their name indicates, co operative relations with several of the principal granite quarries in New England, so the middleman is eliminated from their business. Since they established their business in this city it has steadily increased in proportions and they have now an excellent repntation aud trade thrcmghout the country.
