MONUMENT OF BURROWS.
Portland, Ne. Sent. 81.

Portland, NE. Sept.27.
It's with peculiar pride and pleasure.
we record an instance of libcrality and ho-
norable munifcence to the memory ofthe
6rars, which recently came under our in
spection.
A gentleman from New York, MAT
THEW l.. DAVIS, Esq. while passing
through town few days since, on a tour to
the Eastward, had accidentally taken a
walk into our buryiag ground. His atten-
ton was attracted to the neglected grave
of the late gallant Capt. BURRows. The
only guide to the spot, where is deposited
the remains of one who had so much heroic
merit and who deserved so much of his
country, was the tomb stone of his deceased
competitor, the BRITISH Capt. Blythe
This was erected two years since by the
surviving officers of the Boxer. The tho't
was instant. Mr. ID. Immediately gave or
ders for an elegant marble monumental be
erected over the grave of B,urou to be
finished by his return, and without the spar
ing ofiabor OF expence. 1t is now compile
ted and put up. Its style of execution
does much credit to the ingenious artist.
