INSCRIPTIONS AT CASSEL ( NORD).
ON the top of the hill at Cassel (Nord), in front of the hotel-casino which occupies the site of the former castle, is a monument commemorating the principal episodes in the history of the town. The monument, which is in the form of a pyramid on a square base stands on the site of the collegiate church of St. Pierre, destroyed in 1672, and was the gift to the town of Dr. De Smyttere, a local antiquary of some note, " medecin en chef honoraire et officier de 1'Instruction pub- lique." It was inaugurated Sept. 21, 1873, and is constructed of large blocks of stone from Soignies, in Belgium. The angles in- dicate the four cardinal points. The in- scriptions are as follows :
