The Federal SLAM Reports show that
34l,67O Of the Union soldiers slain during
the rebellion, have been buried in the differ
ent national cemeteries since the close Of the
war. Doubtless the bodies Of many killed
have never been accounted for, while many
others who died from their wounds, and
were buried by their friends do not enter
into the account. 1t is safe 10 estimate the
Union slain at half million.

SHADOWS.

IN the old deserted homestead.
Where the loved Of long ago
Laid them down to rest forever,
Stranger footsteps come and so.
In the hall and on the staircase
Strange forms wander every day,
Never dreaming they are passing
Through gray shadows all the way.
In the grave upon the hillside,
In the shadowy herctolore)
One turned back. q last look giving
Aud one standing in the door.
Waved long fearful farewell;
And l see their shadows still
Where they stood at their last parting,
In the door and on the bill
And if either yet were living
Who were actors in the scene.
They would point out the shadows,
Tell you strangers walked between.
Years ago, white orange blossoms
Cleaning thro' long curls of gold,
Told US that y bride was standing
In that chamber dim and old.
In the parlors, wide and lofty.
Once there stood Christmas tree;
And the trembling lights and tokens
We're goodly sight to see.
Children there with bright eyes sparkling
Ma.rons, each with smiling face,
Grandsircs with their locks now silvered-
Formed picture full OF grace.
In the darkened, ancient chamber,
Where a spirit took its flight,
Strangers, standing on the threshold,
See the dim, uncertain light.
Cleaning through the misty cobwebs
That for years a vel! have spread,
Shutting from the suns bright glances
Ghosts OF the departed dead.
Years ago within that chamber
flushed hearts gathered round bed
Where the Crown of Life was lowering
O'er dying mothers head.
Could we view, by retrospccton.
All the life-scencs of the past,
Could we see the shadows deepening
Ever round US, thick and fast.
There would be HOST of shadows
Gliding over land and sea;
Aud no nook would be without them
Every SPOT would haunted be.

Western Vermont Musical Asso-

Tuesday brought large accessions To
the musical force OF the eighteenth
annual convention. The exercises OF the

and ehoruses from Elijah. Hymns and
glees were finely executed under the
superintendent Of Mr.. Emerson during
the afternoon session, as were also
choruses under the direction of Prof.

The evening session was opened at I
O'Clock, when selections from the "Jubi-
late" were performed under the skillful
direction of Mr.. Emerson, Mr.. Proctor
presiding at the plano. During a brief
recess the convention were favored with
a Duet by Mr.. E. P. Phillips OF S.,
Adams, and Mrs. D. c. Hall OF Boston,
which was received with applause by
the large audience present. Miss Barney
was next introduced and sang with
marked effect the beautiful song en-.
titled Il wandered by the brook side"
which we'll merited the hearty applause
received, Mr.. Moore executing the
accompaniment with the easy grace of q
finished piano forte master. Mr.. Moore
then produced piano forte solo in fine
style, after which Mr.. Z.rrahn con-
Quoted the class in choruses &c, Mr..

neous character, in which all Of the sd-
vertised solo talent of the occasion

exercises tomorrow, and at 10 a. m will

eyes long to rest upon musical conven-
ton once more, and his soul to be in

Rutland lovers OF harmonious sounds
should turn out en- nlass and fill the hall

The Governors of Vermont-1.
THOMAS CHITTENDBE .

Thomas Chittenden, the first Governor
ofVermont, was born in East Guilford,
in the then Colony of Connecticut, Jan
nary 9Th, 1870. He labored on the farm
Of his father, having only the benefit of
common. school education, till in his
eighteenth year, when he started on &
voyage to the West Indies England at
this time being at war with France, the
vessel on which he had embarked, was
captured by a French man-of-war, and
he taken prisoner and landed in q desti.
tute condition, on one OF the West India
Islands, from which he escaped, and
after enduring many hardsbips, reached
his sither's farm, where he remained till
October 4th, l749.
About this time, he married Miss Ellz-
abe,h Meigs, and removed to Salisbury,
Coul. IF this town he soon became q

and Jonathan SpsffJrd, his ne'ghhor,
had purchased large tract Of land.
He remained at Williston till the retreat

the neglect of Congress to provide for its
defence, he, with his family, women and
children, went on foot, by marked trees,
through Middlebury to Castleton, and
from thence to Dandy, where he procur-
ed farm in the south part Of the town,
near the foot Of he Mountain. He re
