A very fine portrait of Gen. Scott has Just
been completed by WEIR. 1t is most lortu-
nat in having caught the finest expression of
the Generals face, and as u work of art not less
than the likeness of IA very distinguished man,
IL Is altogether admirable. | hope the artist
may cause it tn be well engraved. There could
be no doubt that a finely executed mpzzoiint
of this fine portrait would find a ready sale

and Is enriched with various antiquities in FUR

of one who has studied art from its earliest
annals and efforts.
WEE has also completed a picture, large as
life, oi Col. THAYER, for so many years the
successful Superintendent of this institution.
II is painted a at the request OF and for the grad
yates who passed out under his rule. aud is To

tribute OF genius, inspired by gratitude, and
w%orthily addressed To a man who, in all the
qualities of a brave and scientific soldier and

that the late Wing convention of ribs
county, which conferred upon MAJOR
Harrison the nomination for.the Legs
lature, was originally intended tor a
meeting Of all The parties, to centre
and unite upon man without regard
10 his political opinions, and that when
the convention met, the democrats
were denied the privilege OF participa-
