The tenantry of the late Sir Frederick Foster, one of the best landlords that ever existed, have erected a monument to honour his memory, in the market square of Ardee. It consists of a water fountain, surmounted by a statue of colossal proportions, and both were erected on Tuesday last, in the presence of a large number of tenantry, and Mr. T.W. Filgate, the best land agent in Louth. Never was a testimoni¬al to honesty and worth better deserved.

Sir Frederick was a paternal landlord in the truest sense of the word; and the feeling that was displayed by a grateful and spirited tenantry should sink deep into the hearts of the landlords of Ireland, and teach them to practise the lesson it teaches.
