The Columbian fountain., 1846-05-22

subjects OF thrilling interest, as well as pre-
senting TO ourview scenes OF ancient granduer
and sublimity, never beheld. AS q work Of
art, ~ well deserves the patronage Of every
lover Of il in its every branch; and for its beau
tiful effects, (Which we are informed is by
Chemical process,) will prove a source of
much qualification and wonderment TO the sci
entifc portion of our community, while, from
the truthfulness to nature, Gin all its varied
beauties,) produced in the several changes, to-
gether with It's instructive tendency and moral
character, forms an entertainment that cannot
fail giving entire satisfaction to all who wit
ness it. In conclusion, would suggest 10
my fellow citizens not to let Mr.. Winter re-
move from the city without having paid him
visit, as am confident that could an ade-
quate description be given Of it, not single
person who could afford it would let the op-
portunity pass by neglected G.
THE Notwithstanding the
threatening appearance OF the weather last eve
ming, the Denagrie was visited by a very large
number OF our citizens. There could not have
been less than 1900 at one time, under the
immense tent. The study of Natural History
has become such an important branch OF even
the commonest education, that we are glad TO
perceive this increasing curiosity to see, and
receive instruction from beholding the numer-
Gus animals, of which Goldsmith, Button, and
other historians have written volumes. More
instruction can be gained by one visit TO well
arranged Menagerie, than by years spent in
the study Of books. This collection is the
largest, best arranged, and the best conducted
that we ever saw. II is, therefore, the duty OF
parents to take their children; and teachers
their pupils, to visit this vast school of Natural
History, that they may take one lasting lesson
in this important branch Of their studies.
The above remarks are taken from the Bal
timore Patriot; and were written during the re-
cent visit Of the Menagerie ofMessrs. Raymond
& Co., to that city Every word is true, and
we cheerfully give our recommendation to all.
to visit an exhibition which is at the same time
so amusing and instructive We hope the
many strangers now in our city, will avail
themselves of this opportunity Of taking last
ing lesson from this great school Of nature.
The Dioramas now exhibiting at Carusi's
Saloon are indeed magnificent. The different
views consist Of the Milan Cathedral, City Of
Jerusalem, and the Cruci6xion, Interior of the
Church Of the Holy Sepulchre, and Belshaz-
zar's Feast The varied changes produced by
the illuminated powers employed are astonish-
ing. The exhibition will continue every even
ing during the week.
The above is from the Union, and we fully
coincide with the writer. Mr.. Winters exhi-
'bition surpasses any thing we have ever seen
performed by art. All who wish TO spend so
cents proftably, should visit the Saloon and
behold this scene Of sublimi,y and grandeur.
We could gaze for days upon the "Crucifx-
ion'' as here exhibited; no Christian can view
it without the highest pleasure, yea, even such
as would be afforded by most excellent SER
mon on the text &c Behold the Lamb of God
that taketh away the sin of the world.''
