The result is, that with an appro-
priation of about Five Thousand
Dollars for past, and prospective
outiays, there will be no occasion
for a further call upon the resources
of the town. The mode of meet
ing the demand for this nppro-
priation, is not properly within the
office of this committee, bul trusting
it will not he regarded MS too oliicl-
Gus, we have thought proper TO sug-
gesi a resort to the United States
Deposit money belonging to the
town, and amounting to the sum OF
8 $4,000, either by loan OF
appropriation, as the least burden
some means Of raising the money.
An Act Of the Legislature, adopted
at its last Session, relating to the
Cemetery, is herewith submitted aud
will require your attention and ac-
ceptance (at this time otherwise il
will expire by its own limitation.
An Agreement, dated August l |,
1854, made between the undersigned
and the Trustees and Executors OF
Mr.. Kcilh's win, aud rendered
necessary by the terms, and provls-
ions, OF said VIII, IS referred TO here
with, and accompanies this report,
aud likewise the Deed from Isaiah
Silver TO the Town Of Montpelier,
dated the I'd of March 1855.
In conclusion your committee,
conscious Of the seemingly large ex-
pense incurred aud recommended,
and impressed with the responsibility
attached TO their position, desire 10
say, that in executing this trust, they
have been guided by the utmost
regard to economy consistent with a
due respect to the character and po-
silion of the town and 10 the require
menls of a inst and eLeUated taste.
The location is one of rare natural
beauty IN itself as well as in the
amphilh,aire OF scenery about it,
Not an acre can be spared from It's
limits without marrng The harmony
Of lis proportions and If objection be
made TO the quantity of land, we
have preferred an error on the same
side with that greatest and wisest OF
Paiiiarchs, in Holy Writ, who insist
ed on a Purchase for burial place,
Of the Field and the cave which
"was therein, and all the trees thai
were in all the borders roundabout,
We have preferred this, before the
sorry and piiiiul chiuce of being
some day compelled 10 deny
a little earth for charity"
10 some stranger,
Broken by the sso-,.,s of State"
who, like the fallen Cardinal, may
GONE to lay his bones among ye."
Again we have been Influenced BY
considerations of grateful respect TO
the memory Of HIM, our esteemed
and lamented townsman, who's,
thoughtful liberality devised the plai
and furnished, SO largely, th'
means Cor its completion. But We
believe the pious purpose alone, anC
sacred use, to which these funds are
being devoted, will Justify TO ever
citizen the course adopted 10y you
committee while that hallowed an'
sequestorcd hiU-Side will, in the fu
ture, be regarded by us and on
children with affection and pride
rejecting credit always upon tn
character Of generous aud christian
People.

J. DYER, Judge of the U. S. District Court
IL Iowa, died of typhoid fever at Woodstock,
Virginia. on the l4th inst, aged 46 years.
The Dubuque Express in announcing the
melancholy intelligence says
This sudden death has spread gloom
over the whole city. He had the respect
of all, and the devoted friendship of such
as intimately knew him. He scrupulously
discharged every duty in all the relations OF
life. and distributed charities with a liberal
hand. A ripe scholar, an accomplished
gentleman, a devout Christian, kind and
Courteous but unostentatious and dsinter-
csted, be exerted silent influence where
ever he moved hardly felt, but seen and

Providence in the prime OF life, and in the
midst Of his usefulness, his loss will be
mourned with heart felt sorrow by his nun
