- Mr. Blundell, Daylesford, has photographed, in the shape of a carte, a design for the monument to the three lost children whose fate is fresh in the public memory. A square pedestal supports a sepulchral urn, partly covered with drapery. In the front panel of the pedestal is a miniature picture of the tree in which the bodies were found, and of the persons who were present at the dis-covers'. On a side panel the words, " Sacred to the memory," &c, with the date on which the children wandered away, are inscribed ; while on a third panel are supposed to be the names of the unfortunate boys. The photo-graph is not only creditable to the artist, but a souvenir of the sad event in a very appropriate form.[4]
