Monument to Henry Clay.

At the recent exhibition of the Mechan-
ies' institute at Cincinnati, a design for a
|hdnnment to Henry Clay was exhibited,
which is said to be nnequalled in originality
lof <invention, or gracefuluess Of form, by
any mausoleum in the world, with the ex-
ception. perhaps, of. that to Sir Walter
Scott, in Edinburg 1t is circular temple
of thirteen sides, intended by the artist to
illustrate the thirteen original States of the
Confederacy. On each side is an open arch
way, admitting view of the statue, which
is placed in the center, upon "a species Of
canopy which vaults over the sarcophaguS
containing the remains Of Mr.. Clay. b. The
upper portion of the building is proposed
to be used as record room, to contain rel
les of the deceased. The ornaments of the
building throughout are of the most appro-
pirate and beautiful description The ca
giles above the arches, the angels with trum-
pets surrounding the base of the dome, and
the figure of Fame surmounting the dome
itself, are all devices treated with exquisite
taste and judgment. 8 This model was selec-
ted by fifteen Of the leading men of Ken
lucky out Of one hundred designs 1t is
worthy offering by the citizens of that State
to- the memory of her great statesman and
orator. Il.

beautiful young lady, who was crossing from

Agricultural Society.

The semiannual meeting of the Benton
County Agricultural Society was held at
Sank Rapids on the 10th inst, R. NJ
Richardson, Esq, in the Chair. The Court
House was filled, and large number of the
Farmers of the county were present, and
participated with evident satisfaction in the
proceedings. Able addresses were delivered
by Hon. Moses Sherburne, Judge Meeker,
W. F. Parsons, Esq, of Minneapolis, and
M. F. Wilkinson, Esq, of St. Paul. The
last named gentleman said, that during a
recent visit to the East, he had taken up
paper which contained an article headed
Minnesota and its resources" that had
been copied from paper published in
Oregon. 1t spoke of the proceedings of
the Benton County Agricultural Society,
praising the energy and intelligence of a
people who had so early organized Society,
and who, in a comparatively new country,
were giving SO much attention to agricultu-
raj science and upon this incident the
speaker very properly remarked:
This, to us, little item of the organization
OF this association and it's proceedings, had
found its way to Oregon, and from thence
back to New Constructing on its silent but
effective journey, and being read by hundreds
Of thousands, nearly half around the Globe.
This was but one of the many ways in which
such an organization as this accomplishes good
The beneficial influences are countless. The
smallest fact sometimes produces wonderful
effect, oftentimes without our knowing how, or
when"

The Blrdsell Affair.

The st. Anthony Express notices the
article published in this paper relative to the
terrible castiGation inflicted upon a Mr.
Birdsell, recently, near Minneapolis; and
after denying that it was given in conse'
quence of testimony rendered by him before
the Land Office, says =" 1t was, we under
stand, for a worse crime than any testimony
that he could possibly have made before that
Office. even had he committed perjury"
It adds that Mr.. Baker, one of the parties
arrested, was not a participant in the affair.
The real matter appears to be, that Mr..
Birdsell attempted to commit gross out
rage "upon certain virtuous and highly re-
spectacle parties residing in Minneapolis
and the Express is not surprised that in con-
sequence he was so dealt with.
We join the Express in its condemnation
Of the crime, and as heartily disapprove its
semijustifcation of o palpable outrage upon
oil law, decency and order If we have
laws worth anything at all, they are worth
being respected under all provocations to
break them and unbridle; rage and thirsty
revenge, never did and never can keep with
in the bounds of retributive justice. We
live in civilized community, where the laws
are administered faithfully and we'll, and it
must be a sad and imperious case indeed
which would justify men in stepping aside
from the properly constituted tribunals of
justice, to wreak vengeance with their own
hands. We know that there are offences
which many deem irreparahle, and which
they would rather bear in quiet than submit
to the open process of the law. for their
satisfaction but the doctrine of private
revenge is dangerous one to uphold or
countenance through the columns of pub
lie journal, for the reason that it is against
public policy, and is productive naturally of
most pernicious mischiefs. - ss.-4 s.fstol
