From the Georgetown Metropolitan.

We have lately examined IA miniature
piin'inG Of no ordinary stamp. There is a
my,fery connected with this truly splendid
effort of the pencil which time or chance
may unravci. Ii was found in Wrstmoreluud
IN Va in The year i793, by an old negro.
"hn piou%led il up from HE side Of large
stump, where it is more than probable il had
been buried fur many years, as it was mare
than three inches under the surface-the
!c,rtdi"S III which it was enrasrd had en-
iirciy decayed. The old negro carried IL TO
his master, ~ no washed il and finding il 10
he Il paintir@ of great merit determined To
keep i, in order If possible 10 restore il TO its
eight owner. Ii was shcwn 10 all the peopIe
OF the county, but not an individual had
ever seen IL or could form any idea, ms to
what family II might belong. Several per-
sons were extremely anxious to possess il,
but no price wonid induce TIC old gentleman
20 part with it, and it has remained in his
family for 81 ycars-lhr old gentleman died
several years. ago, and left it in charge of
his wife, who.dyiug but a syw weeks Since
gave IT m'trust TO- her son with a request
that he would use every effort TO discover a
knowledge OF lis original \ gentleman to
whom II was shcwn, expressed a strong be-
lief chat it was Il likeness Of The Inflated
Sir Waiter Raleigh. We know not on
what grounds this opinion is founded. One
thing is certaia that it belongs 10 some Eng
iish family Of distinction, and may have be en-
lost by some British officer during the revo-
ln'inn. The depth it was buried in the earth
and the manner in which it was dccayed
when found, justify the belief that il ,nay
have rcposcd there for upwards Of a century.

most elegant paintings we have ever seen,
