clamation in which he said "We have
abundant cause to lament that we are
not more distinguished for wisdom and
virtue. A spirit of infdelity.o of profan-

The remains of civilization whose
monuments are its tombs, are intensely
interesting. Wendell Phillips, in his
lecture on the Lost Arts, tells many
wondrous stories of the skill of our fore
fathers, and after gazing at the speci.
mems found in these tombs one is IT,
clined to believe anything of them. We
have seen bracelets, rings, and all kinds
of iewelry, that in delicacy of workman

burial place 5000 years old. The most
famous of Roman jewellers for skill and
taste, Castellani, laid the foundation Of
his wealth by copying these antique
models. The prehistoric goldsmiths are

We publish elsewhere interest

references to Col. James Barrett, who
had charge of the stores in Concord,
which were the object of the British

these Concord and Lexington patriots
there are in Rutland, but think there
are several We know of one whose
great-grandfathe Bates was killed at
Lexington, aud whose great grand
father, tIohn Barrett, colonel in the
Revolutionary War, was a Concord
man. We hope Rutland will be repre-
