DAGUERREoTYpE IMMATURE
PORTRATTS.-An opportunity such as will
seldom occur is offered to the citizens of Elk
ton and its vicinity, to provide themselves with
exact miniature likencsscs
Mr. C. P. IIogshead has taken rooms in the
Court House, and by the aid ofhis DagueneoEpc
apparatus is prepared to take miniature por-
traits, in the most bt autifnl stylc--lar superior
10 any that can be done with the pencil, because
every lincamcnt of the facc-the whole express
sion of the countenancc, is copied from nature
with the utmost precision. Those who have
never seen lkenesses taken in this way, will
have some idea of them, when they are told that
they resemble in appearance the fncst mezzotin-
10 engravngs
We have seen frequent notices Of this artist,
and of the superiority Of the MINIATURES taken by
him, by orr editorial brethren, and from their re-
commentator as wellas from the beauty of ma
ny of his pictures that we have examined, we
have no hesitancy in recommending him to our
citizens as complete master of his art
The cost Of the portraits is very moderate, and
we have no doubt but many will avail themselves
of this opportunity to procure ''fac SMILES" Of
themselves; children, in particular, should 'whilc
they may" procure lkcnesses Of their parents, to
preserve as memcntos.
Mir. Hogshcad also takes beautifully exact CO.
pies OF paintings, i'll miniature, that those who
have portraits Of ''tricnds Departed" can have
them initiated with the greatest accuracy, and
thus different individuals of the same family will
be enabled to possess similar valuable relicts
He also can take portraits of two or three iudi-
viduals on the same plate. We recommend our
citizens to call at the Court House and look At
specimens of his art, which at any time he will
be pleased to show
He will remain in town but short time; pro-
badly not longer than next week.
THAT "PLAIN MAN.,-Nye intended
TO have noticed somewhat more particularly than
we shall now have time to do Git being Friday
morning and but a few hours till our paper goes
to press, and having been prevented from writing
any thing for itup to this momcnt y the commun-
ication copied in the Cecil Democrat" of last
week, from the "Easton STAR" and signed "a
Plain Man. The Star states that it was writ
ten by wing, which ntimatlon is also held out
by the Democrat and indeed the writer has Ia
ken pains to make that impression throughout
his article. We decide that upon its face are ev-
licences that it was never written by wing.
There is no doubt but it is the "hatchng up' of
hot locoioco, who has seen fit to pretend to bca
wing in order to make his article have some CT
fect-somc patent democrat; peradventure an ul-
ira blue iederalist Of lang syne who long ago for
med hatred for Henry Clay because Of his de-
mocracy, and who is still seeking at every oppor-
tunity to heap upon HIM SANDER and abuse. No
credit is to be attached to the assertion that such
an article emanated from wing, unless his pro-
per name was attached, nor can we find it in our
heart to believe that any wing could write against
MIR. Clay, an article SO rife with vituperation,
malice and falsehood, and if ga Plain Man,
thought 10 give strength and effect to his calum-
MES by placing himself in the wing party, then
has helfar overshottcn the mark, for The cheat is
too easily discovered Tho man who asserts
that Henry Clay's ear is "deaf to the calls pa
triotism," that his heart is "insensblo to gcner-
Gus sympatlles" and that he would crush ben
cath his footsteps the brightest hopes of the ma
ton" to crafty his ambition; offers an insult to
Americans, that cannot be brookcd. The politi-
cal enemies of Mr. Clay, save the most rabid and
unprincipled of them, attribute 70 base motives
TO him, but oppose him only because Of an hon
est difference of opinion, and not the wing party
alone, but they too, will scorn the man who thus
villiiies his character and impugns his motives.
IFReverdy Johnson, Esq, of Baltimore, got
his eye wounded severely few days ago Va
various rumors as to the manner in which it was
done are in circulation One is that it was occa-
stoned by fall from his horse; another that he
was engaged with some friends shooting pistols,
that in shooting at tree ball from his own
pistol rebounded and struck him, and the rumor
in Washington is that he was out with Mr..
Stanley, who was practising, and that the re-
bound of ball from that gentleman's pistol
caused the wound The ball entered between
the eye and check bone, it has been extracted
and it is said his sight will not be injured.
FRosr.-There was heavy frost on Monda U
morning last. Some are ofthe opinion that the
peaches and apples were injured more by it, than
they had been by any one previous.
ISTlt is thought that the consideration of the
