following it some so rods he met a
freight train, which demolished his
sleigh and harness and threw the horse
and driver into ditch. Lee was fonnd
about midnight and carried to the ho-
tel. His injuries are slight and he was
able to go home on Thursday. The
train men did not see the team, as the
night was thick with falling snow, and
part of the sleigh and harness as well
as the buffalo robes were carried off by
the engine and have not been found.
Lee mourns the loss of his jug and a
gallon ofrum. The horse was notmuch

Vermont once more has 2il towns,
by the incorporation of Norton at the
recent session. 1t is situated in Essex
county along the Canada line, just east
CT Holland and just west of the unor-
ganized town of Averill. Norton starts
off with population of about $50, and
railroad station on the Grand Trunk.
The principal business is lumber. The
last, town incorporated previous to
Norton was Stannard, in 1867. In
1881 Salem was joined to Derby and
went out of existence.

The next legislative body of this ter

will fill the positions both acceptably
and with honor to the incoming state.

ously unite. While not being charac-

for any particular scheme he is en-
dowed with that feature of perception
and organization born of former po-
litical experience that would grace the
speakership with satisfaction to all fac
tions, and to the people of the territory.

BENNINGTON BATTLE MONUMENT.
DsssriptienHof the Design Adopted by the
Committee.

The plan is furnished by Professor
John F. Weir. The committee report !:
"The structure is designed to stand a
bout twenty feet square on the ground,
and about fifty feet in clear height, and
to be Oh mound ten feet high, max
ing total height Of about sixty feet.
The mass of the base is to be compos-
ed Of rough blocks of New England
granite. From these rises shaft of
unhewn granite, irregular in form, sug-
gestive of the character of the age and
of the country, converging toward the
top. This is surmounted by figure in
bronze of striking attitude, fifteen feet
high, which may be either a portrait
statue of General Stark or represcn-
tative ideal figure typifying the revolu-
tionary leader. On the corners Of the
base at the foot of the shaft are design
ed to stand four bronze statues eight
feet high, representative of those who
took part in the fight and its incidents.
These need not be portraits of individ-
uals but types Of the time and the e.
vent; the farmer and the artisan turn
ing from their avocations to take up
arms to resist invasion; the woman of
the time, not less memorable than the
man, sheltering her child from the COM
ing storm; the minister Of religion,
whose words animated his flock and in
voked upon them the divine benedic-
ton. These sculptures, if competently
designed and executed, will express
most forcibly the event which is to be
signalized, and what is much more, the
national spirit Of which that event was
the outcome. The battle of Benning-
ton was not fought on our side by reg
ular troops, nor in the course of sys-
tematic war. 1t was the spontaneous
uprising of the yeomanry of the time to
repel invasion, and to strike for politi-
cal and personal liberty. That is the
distinctive story and the national i'm
pulse which the sculpture should perpe.
tuate, in such manner that the wayfar-
ing man and the school-boy may read il
always, without mistake. The model
that We place before you, and the small
figures that indicate the place and gener-
81 character Of the sculpture, can only
promise and suggest this success; they
cannot realize it. That must be left, as
every work of art must be, to the ge-
MUS and skill of the sculptor. True, ii
may fail of its purpose, a. sculpture has
failed before but in the right hands we
do not anticipate failure, more especial
ly as the design Of each figure will re-
main to be considered and accepted be-
fore it is actually executed. And it is
the expectation of the committee that
these figures may probably be designed
and finished by separate artists, go as to
give to each more striking indi vidual
ity. This, however, can be the sub
jet of future consideration, should the
design we recommend be ultimately d
dopted. On the four sides Of the base
are spaces for suitable descriptions and
on the pediments of the statues may be
introduced, if desired, as shown on the
model, bas-reliefs in bronze, represen-
ting scenes connected with the battle,
and bronze wreaths emblemstic Of vic.
