Sir Walter ScOtt's Statue Shipped
for New York.
"A Faithful Duplicate Of Fine Work Of Art
Another Order from America.
TELEGRAM TO the NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON August 90 1872.
General Sherman visited Glasgow on Wednesday.
The General sails for home on the 5th OF September.
The bronze statue Of Sir Walter Scott, which is
to be erected IN Central Park, New York, is COM
pleted, and will be shipped from Edinburgh to
the former city tomorrow. This is the first work
OF art produced in Scotland specially for America
The Artist, His Model and the Finish OF
His Work.
The Scott statue, which will be shipped from
Scotland for New York to-day, is q magnificent
work Of art. During the past year Mr.. John steer,
II. 8. A., Edinburgh, has been engaged at work
upon 1t. 1t is bronze replica Of his well-known
statue OF Sir Walter Using the marble original in
the same way as he would have done clay
model, the artist has produced an exact
duplicate OF the statue as 1t stands In the
monument in Princes street, Edinburgh. AS 1t
comes out In the bronze, however, the work seems
somehow to have gained considerably in dignity
and general tmpresstveness OF eject. BY the appn-
cation of certain composition the bronze surface
has been brought to rich brown color with Just SO
much of metallic lustre as serves to enhance the
general effect. Judging by the result OF expert
ments which Mr.. Steel has made, the surface thus
produced Is capable OF resisting the corroding
action of the weather, SO that the statue may be
expected to preserve, at least for some very con-
siderable time, its present splendid appearance,
and thus form brilliant well as most agreeably
attractive and popular ornament to the grand
metropolitan Park OF America.

on negro man and made him run into

drawing their pistols, attempted to force
him to trade horses. Further on they
met Shap!eigh Goiger, and attempted the

residence of Sheriff Wing, the dog ran
out at them, and Mr.. Wing, called him
back. One of them remarked, at the
same time putting his hand in his pocket,
"Let him come on" Mr.. Wing made no
reply, and the meu rode on about a
quarter Of mile, yelling and whooping,
when q little son Of Mr.. Wing who was
out in the field, answered them with hal
loos they then returned to the house,
and threatened to enter the yard. Mr.
Wing got down his shot gun to prepare
for any emergency, but the fellows after
awhile wisely concluded to 60 on. Ar

BUFFALO NURSERY has sold and is still
selling thousands Of trees. Every day
the wagons are rolling by with tho fine
trees and plants selected from the hum
dred and more varieties Of fine fruits
propagated at the above nursery, and yet
the display Of fine trees standing aston
ishes the passer by, especially when he
learns that he can only see about one
half Of the nursery from the road
Only FIVE years ago the past fall and
winter, Mr.. A. NJ. Shuts, the proprietor,
erected small house and moved into it
on the first of January, since which time,
with limited means, he has swept away
Is or 80 acres Of heavy timber, and
covered some 20 acres of it in nursery
stock, and this will be enlarged to 30
acres the present season.
Now, friends, with such an extensive
stock in our midst, don't put off planting
any longer, or buy from foreign nurse
ries; but go without dolay TO Buffalo
Nursery, where you can see how the art OF
man can change and beautify nature, and
tuy for yourself quantity Of the choice
evergreens and select hardy fruits, which
his experience of many years and an
unceaslng energy has enabled him to
select.
If you have not the money to spare,
by giving security or satisfactory refer
ence, you can get them on from three to
twelve months time, and the growth OF
the trees this year would be worth twenty
times the interest of the money expended
for them.
Send or call on A. NJ. Shuts, propri-
etor, or call on JOSIAH Creech, Local
agent. Troy, Mo-, for a catalogue and
price list. apr4ul4
