AMERICAN STAruARY MARBLE.-American marble
is not wanting in fneness and beauty of texture for
the purposes OF the sculptor but it has been hitherto
found impossible to obtain it in sufficiently large blocks
tor slatuary, except on n small scale. The purest
samples found full OF fla and other defects
which make 1t necessary to resort TO the Italian quar-
ries. II We may believe the Boston Transcript. how
ever, there Is quarry Rutland Vermont, which has
been worked for three years, where blocks OF the arg
est size may be cut, free from these imperectons -
One OF these, taken from depth OF fifty feet below
the surface has lately arrived Boston, h" Ii is saws
the Boston print, the largest block of marble ever
quarried III this country Ii weighs 5000 pounds. 1t
is as pure and white the best East Boston sugar,
and is what biologists class as translucent 1t is the
purest marble yet found in America, and equal any
ever brought from Italy tough, with fine grain
takes a fine polish, and will stand our climate much
better than the Carrero marble. This block TAX
en- from Rutland to Whitehall on the raliroad thence
down the canal to Troy, and over the Western Rail
road to Boston."-N. Y. Evening Post.
The Boston paper is in error in regard to the
method Of transporting this block from Rutland
to Whitehall, though there is little doubt that the
prospect of the early completion of the Railroad
spoken Of, therefore affording available facilities
for transporting the Marble of Western Yer.
mont to market, has had its influence in leading
the proprietors Of the fine Quarry in Rutland to
incur the expense Of working to the extent ne.
cessary to procure such blocks Of Statuary Mar.
BILE as the one in Boston, That marble, of ,
quality and in blocks of sufficient dimensions
to answer all Sidtuary purposes can be obtained
in the Quarries of Rutland County, has lonl
been well ascertained.
We believe the Quarry of Mr., Knowles TAY
LoR, in Brandon, is capable Of producing the
very best of marble quite equal in every res
pect, as to soundness, freedom from discoloret
spots, transparency, susceptibility Of polishing
&c. &c. to the best Italian Marble.
Both these Quarries are Immediately upon tn
line of the Railroad, Qndeed the road, we believe
passes directly through the works of the Ru,

The Provisional Government, considering the

"The people have become weary with suffer-

incorporated in the San Patricio company.
