/ State patronage in behalf of a native Artist of
unrivalled merit, and to record in the rigid per-
petuhy of Marble, the State gratitude for the
great services of her departed heroes and states
men, appears to the committee TO be no less
beautiful in its conception than IL will be honor
able to the State N its execution.
The committee therefore, have no hesitation
in avowing their warm appreciation of the con i
iemplatod measure. They see no difficulty in
the way of its accomplishment, within the SIX or
seven years which Mr. Powers has assigned as
the period during which it will occupy such por-
ton OF his time as he can bestow upon it. The
annual appropriation that will be required in the
progress Of the work, will not exceed, probably,
the sum of three ,housand dollars, and the COM
mitiee greatly mistake the character and temper
Of the constituents of this General assembly, if
an appropriation of the public money for such
an object will not be received with universal ia
yor. The committee are not prepared to believe
that Vermont Legislature will be restrained
from proceeding in the grateful and praiseworlhy
project which 1t has commenced, by any impede
ment arising from this estimate Of its pecuniary
cost.
The Committee feel called on to say, howey-
err, that cordially as they are prepared 10 recon-
mend the employment of Mr. Powers in the work
designated they regard the attainment Of auihen.

an object Of scarcely less interest and conse-
quence a purely ideal representation of either
OF the distinguished men referred to, or one
drawn from the records of their lives and serv
ces, would not be likely, the committee coHcede,
SO TO enlist the interest of the people as to war
rant any considerable appropriation for its pro-
curemsnt. They as, therefore, not disposed to
recommend definite action Of the General AS
sembIy until further steps shall have been taken
To ascertain the existence and authenticity of
such llkenesses. 1t appears by the interesting
report OF Messrs. Marsh and Paine, that like
ness that is said to present accurately the fea-
lures OF Allen, may probably be Obtained in
Montreal The committee recommend that ali
appropriation be made sufficient to defrav the
expense OF an agent of the State to determine
the fact, and, in case such likeness should be
found, the employment of Mr.. b. F. Mason, a
competent artist and native of Vermont to
execute copy, If permission TO do so can be OBJ,
tanned. For this purpose they recommend the
adoption OF the accompanying resolutions.
Respectfully submitted,

CATARACr OF NIAGARA.-The follow
ing anecdote says an English paper, will
serve to give and idea of the resistleSs
force of the cataract. After the last Am.
erican war, three Of orr ships, stationed
on Lake Erie, were declared unfit for
service, and condemned. Some OF their
officers obtained permission to send them
over the Niagara Falls. The first was
torn to shivers by the rapids, and went
over in fragments; the second filled with
water before she reached the fall; but the
third, which was in better Condition, took
the leap CALAMITY, and retained her form
till it was hid in the cloud of mist below.
A reward of ten dollars was offered for
the largest fragment of wood that could
be found from either wreck, five for the
second, and so on. One morsel only was
ever seen, and that about foot in lenght
it was mared as by vice, and its edges
notched like the teeth Of a saw. What
had become of the immense quantity of
wood which had been Precipitated? What
known whirlpool had eigdlfed ii, so that
contrary to the very laws Of nature, no
vestige of the floating material could find
its way to the surface?

ocean NearneSS.

The Atlantic and Pacific rivers of South
America flow from the Andes, and the
sources Of streams which find the ocean
thousands of miles apart are almost within
a stones throw of each other. DR.. Tschu.
di in his travels in Peru. thus mentions a
case of this sort:
At the pass of Antarange, $1,000 feet
above the level of the sea, DR.. Tschudi
found two small lake., scarcely thirty pa
ces asundeI. -One Of these is the source
of the river San Maete, which flows west
ward passes Lima under the name of the
Rimac, and discharges itself into the Pa.
ciic Ocean the other sends its water
through a number Of small mountain lakes
to the river Pacharhaca, diminutive
tributary Of the mighty Amazon. The
worthy doctor confesses that he could not
resist the temptation to disturb the order
of nature, by Transporting a jug fill Of the
water intended for the Atlantic; into the
lake communicating with the Pacific.

THE VILLAGE PATRIOT,

The trumpet sounded loud and shrill,
From the battle field it came,
And the peasant left his native hill
To gain patriots name.
He turred to gaze. while many tear,
Unbidden, forced lis way,
On the vale below, where his children dear
In peaceful slumber lay.
"Fare well !" he cried, "no foreign band
Shall freemen e'er enchain;
| go to guard my native land,
And mark away the stain"
Then the soldier knelt and his noble heart
With fathers feeling beat;
But at that sound, with sudden start,
He sprung upon his feet.
In the firm right hand his trusty sword
He wields with a veterans glow;
He thought once more on those adored-
Then turned upon the foe.
In the formest ranks he onward pressed,
Where fates dire shafts were driven,
But calm& serene was the patriots breast
For his hopes were placed in Heaven.
"On ~ he cried, "where the cannons roar
And the flashing sabres wave; more
In our country's cause we'll charge once
For victory, or gravel"
The hero fell--and his mangled form
Was found midst the heaps of slain;
They bore him far from the fatal storm
To his native vale again.
Where yonder humble spire appears,
Begemmed in the SUMS last rays,
With the dead ofthose of other years,
The village patriot lays.
No sc hutcheon vain, or warriors plume,
No proud emblazoned crest,
No splendid marble marks the tomb
Where his honOred relics rest.
Some simple flowers, as friendly trace,
Ger his last sad home still wave,
And these are all that tell the place
Where sleeps the patriot brave.

DEDICATION OF THE HALL OF THE
Sons OF TEMPE aENCE.-This ceremony,
came off last night, as was previously
announced. Some three hundred ladies
and gentlemen assembled on the occasion
in the new Hall on the corner of Dear
horn and Randolph streets. The exer-
cises were opened by singing in which
some of the best vocalists in the city par
ticisated; prayer was offered by the grand
chaplain of the order in Illinois and an
appropriate address delivered by III. l..
RUcKER. Esq. G. w. p. Ii our limits
allowed we should sketch this speech, for
il deserved still more extended hearing.
A poem written tor the occasion was
pronounced by the author, WIN. H. BUSH
NELL, p w. P.-Chicago Democrat.
