Beardsley and Err-Governor and Ex-Judge
Wm. T. Minor, Ex-Lieut.-Gov. Roger Aver-
ill, Col. Nelson L White. Judge George A.
Davenport and Ex-Scnator Asa B. Wood-
ward.
Arriving at. the Church, which was dense-
ly filled, the corlege was preceded by
Rev. Dr. Mead and the Pastor, the former
reading the Episcopal service for the dead,
The Baptismal font at the Altar was filled
with calla lillics and trailing vines. The
Casket was placed on a bicr at the altar,
shrouded with a heavy pall. As soon as
the audience was scaled the Pastor gave
out the Hymn——
" Aslccp in J esue, blessed sleep.
From which none ever wake to weep,"
which was sung by the Quartette Choir very
efl‘ectively. Then the Pastor read several
Scriptural selections and the Choir again
sang—
“ Abide with me, the.” ,
when the Pastor briefly addressed the Con
gregation as follows:
“The voice of God speaks to us today in
tones of unwonted meaning: it speaks
through this large audience, through . these
representatives of the state and natlop. I
know what is expected of me 10-day; It Is
that I should speak ofSenator Ferry’s value
to his profession, and what he was to the
commonwealth and the nation. There is to
be no eulogy of him today, but at his own
request during his last illness the services
' will be of the most simple and unostenta-
lions character. I propose to speak briefly
ot;his christian character. and will refer to
his faith and religious belief. There are
. two great doctrines that have always gov-
erned the Christian church,namely, man‘s
sinfulness and redemption,and it is consoling
to know what Mr. Ferry believed in respect
to these doctrines. First, the sinfulness of
man: I have often conversed with him on
the subject, and have never found one more
confirmed in his convictions on this point
than be. Mr. Ferry applied this belief to
himself. On the other hand there was as
firm a conviction that God had made am-
ple provisions for redemption from sin, and
~ he was a firm believer in God’s saving grace
through the gift to the world of His only
begoltonSon. Mr. Ferry united with the
church about twelve years ago, just previ-
ous to his entering upon his congressional
career, and has ever maintained an irre-
‘proachable Christian character. He often
anode known his religious views not only
in private circles but also in public, and at
one time gave a series of discourses on the
evidences of Christianity which, were
repeated by request. This was at a time
when the church was without a settled pas-
tor, and one of the members of the church
was "so impressed with these discourses
that he went to Mr. Ferry and told him he
must desist or the congregation would be
pastorless so long as he lived.
“I have known Mr. Ferry one and a half
years, and in all my experience and life I
have never known one more positive or in-
tense in his religious faith. I read in St.
Paul in relation to and expressive of his
own feelings, as follows : “O wretched man
that I am,who will deliver me from the
body of this death." From the Psalmist we
have, “Behold I was shapen in sin, and in
wickedness hath my mother conceived me.”
He applied these truths to himself most em-
phatically and most sincerely. 0n the
other hand, he as truly believed that God
had made provision for all who trusted
Him. He believed that there was a Christ,
a Christ for each and all of us. In this be-
lief no one could bc more positive, or show
forth that belief with more sincerity or
earnestness. Christ was to him reality,an_d
in all his life was aman of faith at once
earnest and all reliant. But the time was
coming fast, when his vigor should be
smitten with a blight, and when the ravages
of disease gave notice that, with all his
gr‘eat powers and faculties, he was but. mor-
Thus he continued until his disease
growing upon him with rapid advances he
was taken to Brooklyn for further medical
treatment. It is enough to say that all hopes
and efl‘orts were in vain. On Saturday last
it was decided to bring him home. At the
close of the day, surrounded by loving
friends, and with a strangely composed and
quiet body and mind, he reached that home,
and it was hoped there was a change for the
better in his condition, but, at midnight, a
very apparent change occurred, and from
this time until two p. m., of Sunday, he lay .
in a state of semi-consciousness, though
fully recognizing the members of his family
when addressed by them. '
q The day on which he died was a singularly
suggestive one. The morning cloudy, and
soon turning to' a drenching rain, and then,
soon after his decease, the sun drove back
the clouds, and shone in all his splendor from
the western sky, and at eveningthe clear
heavens presented to our view a countless
multitude of stars. But high above all these
another star brightly shone and soon an-
other joined to greet a star that took its
place in the upper heavens not many months.
before,-—-a brilliant trio—Buckingham, Fer-
ry, Wilson, and brighter than the stars in
the firmament shall they shine on forever.
That all of us may realize the nearncss and
certainty of a Saviour’s redemption as abso-
lutely as did our beloved friend, should be
the prayer of every heart to—day.”
' MLHamilton then concluded with an earn-
est prayer, when Dr. Mead followed with
the beautiful burial service of his church,
assisted by Rev. C. M. Selleck.
The Hymn was then most touchingly
Skill"—
5 "No, no, it is not dying,” '
When the procession recformed from the
Church, and proceeded via. Main Street, to
the Cemetery, the church bell swelling up to
the weeping skies its solemn funeral notes,
and all that was mortal of the great senator
was deposited in the bosom of our common
motes: earth. He rests within the same on-
closure as the late Governor and Judge,
Clark Bissell.

I shall without fail pay the last respects to
our departed friend.
You. knew how highly I appreciated him
and you therefore know how deeply I deplore
his loss. - -
Will you jot down all the earlier incidents
of his life, with which I am not entirely in-

A. II. Brmorox, My Dear Sir :
Your note of the 22d inst. has just been
received asking me to be present at the inner-
al of Senator Ferry, and I greatly regret that
it has been decided to have the funeral
of the Vice President held here on the same
day, which, as I am on the committee of ar-
rangements, makes it impossible for me to
comply with your request or to gratify my
heart.
I was in the House when he ,iirst entered
the service of the Nation, and have witness-
ed the ability and independence Of his career,
and the purity and simple beauty, of his
character. I had learned to love both of the
late Senators from Connecticut. They were
both of them large-hearted and wise-headed
statesmen, with whom it was a pleasure to be
associated. ‘Of late Mr. Ferry made no long
speeches, but in his brief addresses to the
Senate it seems to me that, in real eloquence,
such as touclted,,the heart and convinced the
judgment. he had no equal in the Senate.
Very sincerely yours,
JUSTIX S. Mouanm.
PITTSFIELD, Mass, Nov. 24, 1875. -
Mr DEAR BYINGTON. '
How appalling are these deaths ! It seems
as if the angel of death were all about us, and
that we cannot move but in his presence.
Poor Ferry; So great a mind, so wonderful 8.
mental power, in such a poor and broken
earthly tenement.
I havoknown, and admired and loved him
ever since he entered the House. I have
sometimes almost felt that for his mind I
would take his physical infirmities. I had
looked forward to service under him on com-
mittee with anticipations of great pleasure,
for he was as true and noble as he was able.
I am, Yours truly,
H. L. Dawns.

of , the death of our. friend Ferry. On the re-
ceipt of your favor informing me of the hour
of his funeral I decided to be present and
pay him the last token of respect, but I re-

which I cannot postpone will prevent me.
Thanking you for your letter and for class-

Mr DEAR erxo’rox : ,
I regret it is not possible for me to be at
the funeral and join in paying the last sad
tribute of respect to Senator Ferry. He was
a noble man of great moral worth and marked
ability. Such men command respect from
all—friends and foes.
Connecticut may truly be said to have an
afiliotion in the loss of her public men, and
the country as well. ‘
He and the Vice President took their de-
parture so near together 1 How many stricken
men alas, have gone to premature graves
since the great national conflict began.

Funeral Notes.
Crow-ls of people called at the house to
sec the remains of the dead Senator. Full
one hundred and fifty called in one hour-On
hanksgiving afternoon.
The deceased was laid out in a black suit,
his hands crossing his breast as naturally as
in life, while his features wore a far more
peaceful expression than during the last
months of his lilc. There was even that
peculiar compression of the mouth, he was
wont to put on when about to make a point
in argument or clinch an importan. conclu.
sion. The elsket was richly, though with
exceeding plainncss,—covere.l[with black
cloth, and lined with white satin. A scroll
plate bore the inscription of his name, age
and date of deceasc. At the head of the
casket stood a massive floral cross surmount-
ed by a crown, the exquisite handiwork of
John H. Smith,and.the tender tribute of
his physician Dr. and Mrs. Samuel Lynet-
On the casket lay a floral heart, the gift of
the dcccased’s nephew, Mr. Theodore S.
Ferry and wife, bearing in its center in
lettcrsdelicately wrought with purple vio-
lets, the word"‘1tasr." Bciow this piece
lay another, the gift 'of Mr. and Mrs. G.
Willis White—(also wrought by John 11.
Smith,) which consisted of a cross, anchor
and heart—composed of‘. tea rose. buds,
white pinks, camclias and .violctsf The law
partners of tho departed—'iifessrs. Wood-
ward & Perry, presented a wreath of rose-
buds and white azalias and calla lilies. A
lady friend presented a cross of Autumn
leaves, gathered and wrought by a mutual
friend, which possessed a touching beauty
in its simplicity and suggestivcness. “A
beautiful cross of white fluvvers was also
presented. Dr. Ackcr 01 South Norwalk,
presented a beautiful and novel wreath to
encircle the Senator's portrait, which was
made of feathers in close imitation of white
blown and tea-rose buds. It was the pro-
duct of_tthoctor’s patient and pains-taking
skill and a tribute of the admiration he felt
for the departed.
Postmaster General Jewell bore to Mrs.
Ferry :1. pers mal message oi sympathy and
condolence from President Grant. He re-
quested his cabinet minister to come on and
represent him at the funeral, and to say to
the widow that whoever may have differed
with her late husband in sentiment or opin-
ion,no one ever could doubt his sincerity
and honesty. .
The Senatorial committee in charge of
Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Lillcbridge, ar-
rived in the 11:15 train. It consisted of
Senators Wiudom, chairman, Sergeant, Kel-
ly, Ingalls, Jones, dud Paddock.
One of the most beautiful and touching
Incidents cf the funeral was the place oc~
copied among the mourners and the deep.
sensibility and affection exhibited by poor
“Richard," the Senator’s devoted colored
body servant, who had been with his mas-
ter during all his later sufferings. '
' The beautiful and fervent manner in
which the venerableDr. Mead read the
burial service of his church, touched all
hearts. The venerable man of God—him-
selfconsciously near the brink of the dark
river, his friend whom he loved so well,
hadcrorsed, was deeply affected, and his
tremulous cadences gave eloquent pathos to
his part in the obsequies.
The address of Rev. Mr. Hamilton, was
a terse and flt'tingly eloquent tribute to his
departed friend and parishioner.
The Quartctte Choir which so quuisitl y reu-
dered the selections on the occasion 01 Sen-
ator Ferry’s funeral was comfosed of Airs.
J. W. Wilson, Soprano; Miss Josie Gregory,
Contralto; Mr. George Thorp, Tenor; Mr.
. Charles Olmsted, Basso, and all under the
direction of Mr. Alex. S. Gibson, organist
of the church.
Rev. C. M. Selleck made with deep feel-
ing the final prayer at the grave.

were not, to tender the heartfelt thanks 01 the
friends of the deceased Senator, to the

The Borough Warden and Burgesses
generously and most appropriately tendered
a collation to the Fair-field County Bar, and

The Herald thus details incidents of the
last moments of the late Vice President 1-
Aboul seven o’clock the Vice President
awoke, he smiled, and turning his eyestol
Boydcn, said: “I feel better than Ihave’ felt
any time since I was taken sickil’. ; Thelma-
uouncement of Senator Forr'y’s chth had
reached the Capitol the night before.bul tho
watchers had withheld the news from Mr.
Wilson. As the morning papers would soon,
be brought in with the account ofhlsdEath,
it was decided to break the intelligencens,
gently as possible. laptain Wood then"
said 2-—
“ Mr. President, the papers 'of this morn-
ing report the death of Senator Ferry, of
Connecticut.“
The sull‘crcr exhibited deep cm tign,'.bu_t,
his pallid face rcmainedij-pcrfec lygcalm.’
After a few moments silcncc,he 'felated that
Mr. Byingtbn, of the Norwalk Gneette, had
said to him the day before, to. the effect
that the Senator was much afl‘ectcd by the
eport of his (Wilson's): ickncss. .The dying
man breathed a deep sigh, and exclaimed :-—
“Poor Ferry! Poor Ferry 1 . He was a
good man and a Christian. Yes; he. was a-
good man and a man of great talent."
After another pause Mr. Wilson pointed ,
toward the Senate Chamber, and remarked
significantly :— -
‘Ihavc sat in that Senate with eighty-
thrce men who have passed away. What a
record for a man! I do not think there is a.
man living who can say the same. I am
not positive; but perhaps Senator Hamhn
can. It I live my present tcrm out, I shall
be the sixth in the history of the country.”
Herc his voice lell. What he meant to say
was lost. He seemed to have already passed
away; his eyes were fixed and his body
motionless. With eight or ten convulsive
respirations the Vice President of the United
States breathed his last. . _ ,
A few days before his death he said :— 1'.
“When the hour comes my life will go
out like a candle.” ’ _ .

The tomb never unveiled its bosom to re-
ceive a swccter treasure than will beconé

noon the remains of little JAMES MILLER
BISSELL, will be borne lo the grave from
lhe sanctuary, where but a few brief "days
since, with eyes gleaming with the bright-_
ness of health, and checks all aglow with
the radiance of seven summers of happy
sunshine, he sat an earnest listener to the
holy truths of God. But‘he who so recent-
ly made the music of home, is now a glori-
fied harmonist in the choir Celestial, a
radiant star in that bright constellation of
“little children” hidden to “come unto Him,"
and composing “the Kingdom of Heaven.”
His poor little body encased in its narrow
casket and bcdecked with most beautiful
and fragrant flowers, will be laid away to
mouldcr and decay,hut the sanctified spirit
has entered upon a life free from all sorrow
and pain—life immortal. His dear Saviour
he heholds "face to face," and his eager soul
waits to usher weeping father, mother, sis-
ter and brother up tojoys supernnl.
We know how utterly vain and inade?
quate are our lenderest words of sympathy
in such an hour. “Jesus wept,” and the
torn hearts of parents and bereaved ones,
will bleed ; but one who has “passed under
the rod,"’ who too,has stood beside the ‘fWee
littlc bier,” craves the grateful privilege of
mingling his tears with theirs. And Oil-4‘
“Fold him dear Saviour in thine arms,
And let him henceforth be, > _ _
Ameseengcr of love, between—
Thcxr human hearts and thee.”
The nextlccture of the Winter Evening
Course will be delivered by Hon. Carl
Schnrz, on the evening of Dec, 16th. This
will be his first appearance before a Norwalk
audience, and every scat in the House
should be occupied. In order to secure his
a much larger sum than ever before paid td
a lecturer in Norwalk. Our people, and
citizens of adjoining towns, should attend.
and assist in remunerating them for their.
large outlay.
Burglar-s in South Nor-walk. _
Between two and three o’clock Monday
morning, a series of burglaries were perpe- '
tratcd at South Norwalk. The- house of
Burr Knapp was entered, probably from a
rear door (though that and the front, door
were found unlocked,) and a seal skid?j
sacque and Inuli‘ belonging to Mrs. Knapp.
stolen. Mrs. Fitch, the aged mother of
Mrs. Knapp, heard them and go’t up,an'd;
the t\hieves hearingllcr moving about, prob-t
ably were frightened away. The house of
Goo. S. Bell was also entered, the door hav-
ing been unlocked from the outside by nip-
pers. They went up stairs and into Mr.
Bell’s sleeping apartment, tobk his pants
from a chair at his head, and carrying them
dowII stairs found nothing in them. His
watch and money were beneath his pants
and were not disturbed. An overcoat only
was taken hcre,belonging lo a son of Mr.
Bell. The house of Rev. Dr. Spencer was
also entered, but so far as can be discovered
nothing but a fur seal skin cap was taken.
Here too they seem to have been alarmed
and fled. Then passing beyond, they enter-
ed lhehouse of Widow Mary Seymour.
Here they stole a watch and fifteen dollars
in money. At Mr. Bell’s there was left the
print ofa rubber, showing a long, slim foot.
Some hall‘dozen tramps have been arrested,
but nothing found upon them, and the lot
is entirely too stupid a set to indicate them to
be the robbers. The City police have gone
east in search of the thieves, but with little
chance of their capture, tu- they arc un-~
doubtedly “ )rofessionals.” - 1; -_. _, .

Accident or Murder 1
Early on Friday morning last, our com- * '
munity was startled by the annoucement of
lhc finding of Mr., William A. Stout, at So.
Norwulk, in a dying cOndition. Mr. Stout
was a son of Thomas S. Slout,Esq., and
was a jeweler and engraver by trade. He
vas found about 4 o’clock in the morning,
lying in an insensihlc condition under the
Railroad'hridgc, in Water street, near the
Iron Works, by the watchman of the Works
and the Bath-ood- bridge tender. He was
carried to the Station House, where Dr.
Pardcc u as summoned to attend him, and
word was sent up-town to his father. He
was removed to his father’s residence, and
lingered, unconscious, until 8,15 o’clock,
when his young life ended. A coroner’s
jury was impauncled by Justice Andrew
Selleck to investigate the cause of death.
The jury adjourned from time to time until
yesterday afternoon when they rendbred a.
verdict of death from cause unknown to the.
jury. '
There is some mystery connected with the
case, and while to some his death seems the
result of accident many are led to the sup.
position that he was foully dealt with. It
seems that on Thanksgiving day he had
been to Southport where he spent several
hours and returned to South Norwalk upon
the evening milk train which is due there at
about eleven o’clock, after the departure of
the last conveyance to the Borough. The
jury were unable to trace his stops after his
arrival, notwithstanding the many rumors
of his having been seen at various places by
a number ot‘individuals. By his being found
under the bridge the impression arose that
he had walked off and thus received his in-
juries. Therc were no bruises found upon
his body, however, with the exception of a
small one upon his head, and it seems im’
possible that he could have fallen that die-
tancc without receiving more external
wounds. Again, this bridge was not on his
route home. There was no evidence that
he had been robbed.
His diamond pin was taken from his per-
son by the South Norwalk police and sup-
posed to have been handed over to the
Vception of questions upon a»!
The New Senator.
Ex-Gov. JAMES E. ENGLISH has received
from Governor Ingersoll the appointment
of U.'S. Senator to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Mr. Perry, until the mecté
_ing the next legislature. Welhink the Gov
ernor has acted wisely and paid only a re-
spectful compliance with a manifest pub-
lic wish and preference in the selection.
Oliicersare to be elected next Monday as.
follows :—-Warden, six Burgesscs,Treasurcr,
CollectorflBailifl‘, Registrars, Inspectors of
Eleét‘iofi, two Water Commissioners and a
Treasurer of the Water Fund. Annual Re-
ports are to be ten] after the election.
The Ladies Benevolent Association.
Connected with the First Coagregational
Church held its‘annual assembly with its
President, Mrs. L. J. Curtis, on Wednesday
evening, Nov. 17th. It might be said for
out of- town readers, that the aim of this
Association, is two fold; in the first place
to acquaint the members of the congrega-
tion, of all ages, with each other, and espec-
ially'to promote harmony and good will;
next, to Cultivate the habit of regular giv-
ing to'charitablc objects in and out of the
.parish. As the time for adjournment drew
near, an interesting statement written by
the President was read, showing that in
addition to the ordinary interest of the an-
nual gathering, this meeting had a special
significance; inasmuch as the Association
had, about eight months ago, pledged one
thousand dollars towards the payment of
the church debt, and having learned, some
weeks after, that the attempt to pay the
debt would be a failure unless the Associ-
ation increased its subscriptions, with some
painful misgivings, five hundred dollars
were added.- Now to' their great satisfac-
tion they were-able to redeem-their pledge.
'Thereupon the President, sailing the action
—to the word,~.placcdi~in'“ the hands of the
Rev". Mrcflamiltonfifor .the Treasurer of
the Ecclesiastical Society, 'a» check for
fifteen hundred dollars. ’
Mr. I-Iamillion responded in a neat and
eloquent Im'a‘n'nc'r' expressing his great
pleasure at the-success of ‘this Association,
and its well laid, generous, and vigorous
plans for Christian ,work. When the sub-
scription was made last Spring, his thought
was, that possibly the money might be
raised inten years;ahut now it had been
done, and in one-third of that" time, and he
was informed, that the other charities of the
Association had not 'in consequence been
diminished.
By invitation of Mr. Hamilton one of
thginvited guests, formerly a resident of
Norwalk, made a brief congratulatory ad-
dress and led in prayer. The fine music,
vocal and instrumental, which was inter-
spersed through the evening added much to
the enjoyment of those present, and the
members dispersed with renewed zeal for
benevolent work, and a 'fuller assurance
that “it is more blessed to give than
receive.”
' _
The family and immediate friends of the
late Senator Ferry have so far yielded to the
general desire, as to consent that his pastor
shonldprcach a memorial sermon in honor
of his memory. Rev. Mr. Hamilton will
therefore preach such a discourse on Sun.
daymprning; December-‘12, one week from
next abba'th. His public character .and
service will be filly eulogizcd by his con-
gressional associates, on a day to be selected
and duly announced. The lessons of such
a‘lifc ought not to be lost upon the living.
‘ and so universally is this sentiment sus-
tained that it would seem there is ample
justification for these demonstrations though
one know-n to be not strictly in accord with
the desire of the departed.
We are glad to learn that our local Lecture
Committee have in contemplation,tbe invi-
ting before 9. Norwalk audience, the Misses
Stuart, daughters of the late Hon. 1. W~
Stuart of'Hartford. These talented young
ladies who grew up.nnder the door-yard
shades-of the Charter Oak,have studied long
and hard to qualify- themselves as public
readers‘and elocutioaists. They have fine
natural talents and abilities, as well as
cultured accomplishments.

Last week opened with the announce-
ment of many an “Innocent ratile;"—and an
exciting Inectingof the Board of Council-
men. Thrcc members were absent, as well
as the large number of spectators, who
usually attend. The reporters were on
hand to drinkinall that was drinkable. Little
disturbed the réulinc of business, until an
explanation was asked for in regard to the
widening West street, when the discussion
grew warm, and as is usually 'the case, the
matter is no nearer being accomplished
than when it was first proposed. There is,
part of some, to have that street widened
and graded, in their own way, at a cost to
the city of “Fifteen hundred dollars," rather
than accept a proposal from the property
owners; leaving the cost to the city only
“one hundred and fifty dollars.”
The closing “Episode” was a sharp tilt
between a Mr. Hungerford and councilman
Seymour in regard to a drain into land of
thclatc Ilcgrand Lockwood. The Council
tiring of the discussion called for the rcgu'
lar order of business and after passing an

The Religious services by the united Con-
gregations of the city churches held in the
lst Methodist Episcopal church, waslargcly
attended, and of more than usual interest.
Rev. Mr. Simonson read a Psalm and invo-
ked the blessing. Rev. Mr. Taylor of the
Baptist Tabernacle read 11 Psalm and Rev.
H. N.Dunning led in a fervent prayer, that
God would accept thanksgiving for all his
gifts which we so richly enjoy, that our
national politics might be purged of its cor-
ruption, and our nation from the damning
sin of intemperance, praying that the be-
reaved might. be comforted and the sick
cured, and that all the providenccs might
bring men to a sense of sin and a need of
preparation for Heaven. Rev. Mr. Brown
of the East avenue Methodist church, in ”a
plain but very forcible way, referred to the
call of the Governor of the State to the
people to give thanks, how God‘a goodness
had been shown to us in all ways, and took
as his text, “Ilhe Lord hath been my God,
he will bless the house of Israel.” During
the discourse he referred to th‘e'agitation in
town about the expense of education, and
contrasted it over lhc ease with which vast
amounts are spent for things which hurt the
body, and destroy the soul. In closing he
urged all to be truly thankful for God’s love,
which was free to all.
A large number accompanied the Foo

The Herald refers to the magnificence
of the avenues of London, .Paris, Vienna
and Berlin. The City can begin to boast of
its Boulevards and Ringstrasses. These are
being improved, decorated and beautified,
and are likely soon to become the roost at.
tractivc parts of the city, and present resi-
dents. if absent a very few years, will find
on their return such a change, that they
can hardly believe what their eyes may see.
While these vast and needed improvements
are progresssing would it not be well even
now to perfect some plan for making our
main thoroughfarespermanently good, wor-
thy of being called “avenues," and over
which the most fastidious might ride with
pleasure? . ‘ -. ‘ .
It has been demonstrated ingot/tar large
cities, that a Ma’cadamized pavementlis the
best in use. It is the most unnecessu'ryie'xg
penditure, with which any city 'or'to'wn is
subjected to, that of yearafter year PATCH-
ING up the roads. To continue such ex.
penditures is unnecessary and becomes a
burden, and some plan should be immcdb
ately adopted to MacAdamize our main
streets, and continue it from year to year,
until the thoroughfares of our city mostly
used, are made permanently solid and good.

ment? i .

These Pills are an alterntivc, and reduce a
healthy action of the liver, without the least dan-
ger, as they are free from calomel, and yet more
efficacious in restoring a healthy action ot'the liver.
These remedies are a certain cure for Consnmp
tion, as the I’ulmonic Syrup upon the matter and
purities the blood. The Mandrake Pills act upon
the liver, create a healthy bile, and remove all
diseases of the liver, often a cause ofConsumption.
The Sea “'ecd Tonic gives tone and strength to the
stomach, makes a good digestion, and enables the
organs to form good blood; and thus creates a
healthy circulation of healthy blood. The com-
bined action of these medicines, as thus explained.
will cure every case of Consumption, if taken in
time, and the use of medicines persevered in.

Any permn desiring instruction in this
unique and elegant process should make
application within ten days. Although I
shall l'i‘llulll in this place for two or three‘
weeks, I shall necessarily be obliged to limit
my pupils to a comparitively small number
in order to devote faithful attention to each.
Those Only will be taught and licensed who
shall sign my form of agreement (and bond
duly witnessed by some responsible person)
not to teach the method to others. The art
is of such a simple nature that the details
and principle of it can be fully understood
in one lesson, and thereafter each pupil has
the privilege of consulting wuh me a: any
time during my stay. Therefore those who
learn first will have the advantage of
being able to more llIorouglIlyperfect them-
selves in their work. Willi one lesson 1
positively guarantee that any, person, even
if they hadnever painted a picture before
in their life, can bring out and reproduce
a photograph in colors and make these
beautiful effects. That my system is all
that Iclaim for it and worthy of attention,
[can refer by permission to several well-
known'cilizens in this place who are among
my present pupils. For alady especially
it is a beautiful art for occupation,during
leisure hours, even as an accomplishment,
and in many cases it will be found a science
_ which would perhaps always be of value to
i‘lhem’ pecuniarially if desired. This is
not an old process and differs materially
from methods hertofore known (as Grecian
Painting and other modes, which when ap-
plied to photographs almOSt invariably fader
the picture). I have made this the subjecj
of much careful study and experiments
and now believe that I can recommend
these pictures when made by my rules, a‘
being as durable as any colored work which
even an artist could execute. Specimens an. .:
circulars can be seen at Selleck's Bookstore
