 A meeting of the subscribers of the Monument to he erected in memory of Mrs Washington, the Mo ther tle Father off his Country on or contiguous to the spot where her remains now rest and of all other the citizens of Fredericksburg Falmouth and their vicines favorable this view ofthe subject is respectfully invited at the Town Hall on Saturday evening the 2lst of the present month (May) at 4 o'clock, to appoint their committee and make such arrangements shall be thought necessary for the furtherance of their plan. full attendance is ex- pected and requested. MANY SUBSCRIBERS.
 At respectable meeting the citizens of Frede- rcksburg and its vicinity held al the Town Hall, in pursuance the above notice. on Saturday evening (May 21st 1851 1)-THomAs GooDwIN Esq Mayor of the Corporation, called to the Chair, and GEORGE Cox appointed Secretary of the Meeting, and the following Preamble and Resolutions unani- mously adopted:
 The desire of immortality is stamped by nature, as a law, upon humanity. But how shall this wish be gratifedi The evanescent cOlorngs of tradition too frail a record. Accordingly the building of monuments to departed worth has been of imnemo- rial usage. Before the birth of letters of science in the remotest antiquity. the achievements of hero ic valor and the lofty efforts of undaunted patriot ism, found hope of perpetuity in the rude unorna- mented pile, or still ruder sculpture Thus those glorious deeds, which had otherwise perished from human memory, have been given "local habta- ton and served, long after their performance, to animate p0sterity to generous emulation. The cus- tom of erecting monuments to the mighty dead is not matter of mere taste ornament, or useful simply expression of gratitude: it should be cherished by patriots and statesmen based upon the soundest policy The pictures and busts of distinguished

the means necessary to carry these express powers into effect. The progress of this evil has been arrested, and it's entire removal may be anticipated by the continuance of the pre- sent administration. Should the administra- tion be changed, there will be danger that this evil may again unhappily return, and urge forward with more success and confidence in its progress of usurpation. With these views of the subject, added to great confidence in the talents, integrity and patriotism of the present Chief Magistrate, I cannot but be in favor of his reelection. have then, hope, given a full answer to the inquiries, and at greater length than l at first thought would be necessary. much regret that indisposition and ether circumstances unnecessary to men tion, delayed this communication for ten days or fortnight l was anxious to bestow ma ture reflection upon the subject, that l might ntt express to the people opinions hastily adopted, and therefore more liable to change l am, dear Sir, very respectfully,
 Your very obedent servant,

When it was relieved it was found lying on its back, and quite wet with sweat. Its feathers fell off and were renewed. but the new ones were perfectly white.- grey nnet happened to raise its feathers at a man who was drunk; he instantly tore the creature from the cage, and plucked off all it's feathers The poor animal survived the accident, (the outrage, we would rather say, and had its feathers replaced, but they were also white.
