More Of Stowe.

Mr. EplTOk 10y bono Wsahs kPiopor
bly, the misarrangement of paperO a par
agraph in your correspondents notice OF
the "public buildings in Stowe" was
ommitted. 1t related to matter in
which be took much interest:-the plac-
ing of town clock in the new meeting
house.
We have no doubt the people will be
disposed to avail themselves of the excel
lent opportunity now offered to place
town clock in situation where it can be
seen and heard by very large proportion
of the inhabitants of the town. Nothing
gives better impression of town, as We
pass through it, than to notice that it is
supplied with good town clock, in To-
cation favorable for being seen and heard
by all the citizens. 1t always looks as
though the people desired to keep the same
time of day, and possessed good share of
public spirit. Any sensible man would
give more for farm or residence In
such a town. Besides, the expense OF
such time-keeper would soon be saved
by its dispensing with the necessity of u.s.
ing the bell, except on special occasions.
To supply ourselves with such a desira-
BILE acquisition we have no occasion to go out
Of our own town for mechanic or artizon
to do the work. Our enterprising and In
genious townsman, John W. Smith, Esq,
who, besides the best Barometers in the
world, can make almost anything, from
rail road bridge down to the most delicate
piece of mechanism, is entirely competent
to construct for us, a town clock on the
most approved plan. ;
The spire of the new Westinghouse Ii
now in the hands of the tinman, and will
be raised in the course of next week. i
is about seventy five feet long, and,will b'
raised by machinery from the 'grounes
when it is made, and set in its place upor
the 'belfry. The raising will undoubted
ly be one of the finest grandest and mos
exciting sights ever witnessed in this vi
cinity. We are-not able, now, to stat'
the day or the hour when the raising viii
take place, but altogether likely it will b.
SO far notified that large assembly will
be present, to witness what an age may
not again afford them an opportunity t.
see in their own vicinity. Mr.. Edgerton
who superintends the thing and know
what he is about every minnte,' inform
us that in one hour after the machinery il
applied, the spire will have reached mid
