TIT PERRY srAruE.-This statue, which
was inaugurated at Cleveland, Ohip, on Mon-
day, is eight feet in height; and stands upon
a pedestal of Rhode Island granite seventeen
feet in height, SO that the entire height of the
monument is twenty-five feet IL stands in
the centre of the park, and commands a view
of the lake that was the scene of Perry's
exploits. The stataesis7 cat from a. block of
pure white marble from Vermont: quarry.-

that his fellow officers We're chiefly Rhode
Islanders On tho front of tho pedestal is a
medallion representing in bas reliefin minia-
ture the battle atthat point of time when
Perry passed In small boat from his disabled

eur farmers whose crops have been 80 album
dant this year, and with increased means
arising from the ready sale.of the products of
their labor, they win be in a better position
