MIR, D'AI.M AINE.

We understand that it is the intention Of
this highly cultivated Artist to remain in
Burlington but few days longer His
likenesses, both in black crayon and pastel
(colored crayons,) are very much admired
for their accuracy of delineation, freedom
and breadth of sketching and life-like re-
sembance to their originals. Scarcely
any effort Of Art in this department can be
superior 10 his superb, glowing, rich Pas
tells. Nothing that we have even seen of
the kind, except the exquisite pictures OF
BRocHART, compares with them.
We trust many more Of our citizens will
avail themselves Of Mr.. DALMAINE's brief
remaining time in Burlington to secure
his artistic services. His fine likenesses

The Last Plank of The Buffalo Platform

We have been waiting very patiently to see
the free soil or " barnburner papers in New
York unbolle their thunder upon The proceed
ings OF the late democratic convention for that
State. But Duncan did not wake with those
knocking, and we fear nothing will wake Them

Sad Accident.

Master JAMES II. PLATT, jr., youngest son
of Mr. James II. Plat Of our Village, was
thrown from the Express Car of the Evening
Train on the Rutland Road. last evening, soon
after the arrival of the Train. lie was engag
ed in obtaining his Daily Boston papers, when
the Engine and Tender backed against the Ex-
press Car, the zone ussion throwing young Plat
upon the track. With much self possession he
threw himself ftryard into the middle Of the
track, thus doubtless saving his life. AS it was,
however, one wheel of the Tender ran over hi
right arm. badly fracturing it in two places
1t is hoped that the arm may be saved from am
pulaton, though the fracture is very severe.
Too much caution cannot be observed in get
ting on or of the Cars, aud we trust this acct
cent, so nearly fatal, will not be without its
salutary effect upon others.

Tle nomination Of Gen. Taylor, the Louis

where we predicted it woud-into an abandon

The fulfment of this "prediction is hardly

JENNY LIND IN BOSTON.

We hope our readers do not think we say or
scissor too much about JENNY LIND, for we
really believe her to be about the most glorons
sample eXtant of our fallen race! Such una!-
ierled sweetness and humility Of department
amid vehemence and universally of popular
enthusiasm totally unparalleled, such firm
ness OF high and generous purpose as she has
exhibited, and such a spotless purity OF name
as she has preserved, amid scenes, indictments
and influences that have turned older heads
than lers; such spirit Of profuse yet disc ri
mlnating benevoence and philanthropy as
marks al her works of divine charity, all these
eminently enitle her to the spontaneous and
boundless llcru-worship of which she is the OBJ
lect. We entirely agree with the N. Y. Cou-
rier and enquirer that the homage paid to
JENNY LIND is honorable to the people that
render it-It is an homage voluntarily given to
the unrivalled cxccIencies and love illness OF
her character-a character rarer, in the COM
bined virtues and powers that constitute it, than
we ever read of. 1t may be,-real and honest
popular enthusiasm is apt to be-sometimes
cxtravagant in its expression and utterance
bit it is honorable alike "to them that give,
and her that takes" l, is worthy and true in
its OBJECT, and who would undertake TO quarrel
with its style or degree
- Our Boston friends have, if possible,
oycrlopped the New Workers in the enthusiastic
warmth Of their greeting to the Queen OF Song

accounts of her reception. Her route from the
