sal figure of Washington will occupy a commanding posi-
ton. A handsome clock will also have its proper place.
-Four towers of entrance will furnish convenient access To
the stairways, and a handsome fountain will adorn each
angle of the structure.
The manner Of arrangement of the bells, and the mode
Of operation, are the invention Of Mr.. Scherr, whose
years Of study and scientific research on the subject have
at length enabled him to reduce his long-cherished de-
sign to practical perfection. The entire structure will
not cost over $50, 900, and will be built wholly of iron.
