IL At the new banking house of Messrs
Blatchford & Whitney, we saw yesterday por-
traits of two of our prominent citizens: one Of
His Honor the Mayor, and one of we'll known
member of the bar in this city. Both are ex-
cellent likenesses, but the latter particularly
striking. They are productions remarkable not
only for their accuracy, but the fneness of their
finish, and an animation of expression SO like
life, as to convey the idea that the pictures seem
about TO speak.
The artist, Mr.. Gro. w. HARE, is evidently
man of genius. He is but recently from Eng
land, and brings testimonials that he was mem
Der of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, In Lon
don, for twenty years. We therefore direct the
attention of the public to these paintings.

IL Rev. Mr.. Snow continues his series of
interesting lectures on temperance, commencing
on Monday, and ending Saturday night. Heevery
night draws together large audiences, and his
efforts seem to be encouraged by the approval of
the majority of our citizens. On Tuesday night
he proposed that the ladies should meet this af-
ternOOn, and form an organization to be exclu-
sively under their own control. This is GER
tainly applying formidable motor, where the
ponderous, irresistible machinery of public
opinion is to be put in motion. Public Opin,
iOn!-it rules the world, and in this country the
ladies', when they choose to unite, rule public
opinion. Mr.. Snow is evidently posted up as

Mr.. Martin suggested that permission might
be given TO men TO shoot pigeons when they
found them on their own grounds.
Mr.. Westfall objected TO this, as too slow a
method Of destruction. They were great nui-
sance. He did not doubt that other cisterns
were in condition similar TO that in which his
had been. The cisterns were generally nearly
dry, now; they might be cleaned out, and kept
clean, II the pigeons were cleaned O,a, also.
The Mayor did not doubt that the mixture al
luded to was good to make corn grOw,-he be-
lieved il was called guano-but il was very
doubtful whether, when put into OE drinking
water, our taste was refined enough to aPprs-
ciste it. He thought tame pigeons flying at large
might be declared a nuisance, and that the ordi-
nance relating 10 shooting within the city limits
be suspended fer ninety days, SO far as it may
be applied to shooting pigeons.
Mr.. Gsno spoke in favor Of q preamble, ia
be published with the ordinance, explaining the
reason for its enactment.
Mr.. Martin wished the matter referred 10 he
committee on Ordinances.
Mr.. Westfall thought that the subject should
be disposed of Immediately.
The Ordnance had been read for information
and on motion the rule was suspended, and the
ordinance read n second and third time, ant
passed, and ordered TO the Mayor.

DUTNAM's MONTHLY.-On the first Of

IDUTNAm'S MONTHL1s-On the nrst OF
I July was commenced the second volume OF
Putnam's Monthly. Itssuccess, remarkable among
literary undertakings, proves the genuineness OF
the national welcome with which The prospectus
was received, and the manner in which its pro-
mise has been fulfilled.
To have demonstrated that an original Ameri-
can Magazine can command the lively interest and
substantial support of the American Public and
challenge the admiration Of foreign criticism, is a
success Of which the publishers are proud
They will spare no effort in deserving even
greater favor They still believe, as they said al
the commencement of The undertaking, that ssa
popular magazine must amuse, interest and in
strnct.p They have still unabated s'iailh in the
oppulence OF our own native resources and they
appeal TO the experience oil the last six months TO
show with what reason.
The first volume is now complete, and may be
had neatly bound in cloth, price SO 90.
The first edition of the June number consists of
thirty live thousand copies--a greater circulation
than has ever before been attained by an original
literary magazine, either in this country or in
Europe.
TERMS: 50 per annlm; or 25 cents number.

MAGAZINE FOR ,ss.-The

IL
lL sphere and the utility of the EcLEcTTc MAGA-
ZINE have become too well defined to require ex-
planaton. Differing in aim from other magazines
and supplying want which is widely and increas-
ingly felt by more educated and intelligent por-
ton OF the community. II fills place which could
be filled in no other method than by the principle
of selection which il adopts. The great reviews
and magazines OF Great Britain and the Continent
through which the leading minds OF the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively, TO express them
selves, are TOO numerous TO be reprinted, az well
as too costly 10 be imported by the general reader
They contain, likewise, much, with their desirable
articles, that has but a temporary or local interest
and which is worth TO the American reader neither
the price nor time required to per,sc il. To select
from the whole field OF Journalism all that is really
valuable both the graver dissertations and discus
sions Of the reviews and the lighter and more
versatile contents OF the magazines, is the pt,r-
pose of the EcLEcTIC. The best parts of all are
thus secured, without the cost or incunbrance Of
the local or feeble parts OF any. The main portion
OF the ECLECTIC will continue to be composed of
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews;
while everything valuable or brilliant in all other
periodical issues, particularly OF Great Britain.
will be carefully presented. A richer and more
valuable aggregate will thus be furnished than the
contents Of any single periodical could afford.
Embellishments of the highest order OF subject
and engraving will occupy each number. Among
these will be richly engraved portraits of the most
distinguished living characters, especially in lite
rature, art, or statesmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr.. SARTAIS, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style of the mezzotint.
TERMs.--The Eclectic Maga.ine is issued on the
first OF every month, in numbers Of IA large Svo
pages each, on fine paper, making THREE VOLUMES
year, with title pages and indexes. Price SIS per
year, il paid strictly in advaace-othcrwise Sc. \

NEW MONTHLY MAGA-

IL zine has now reached monthly edition OF
over One Hundred and Twenty five Thousand
copies, and the demand for it is still increasing
with greater rapidity than ever. This unparal-
leled and unexpected success has compelled the

printing the work with the requisite rapidly, and
at the same time preserving the typographical ele-
gance by which il has always been distinguished.

makes IL easy 10 print any number Of copies from
the same plates, without in the least imparing the
clearness and beauty Of the impression. The
publishers desire TO repeat their cordial acknowl-
edgments 10 the press and the public for the ex-
traordinary favor which has thus far attended
their efforts to interest and instruct the great body
OF The American people, and 10 renew their as
surances that every possible effort will be made
to increase still further the claims Of their ma2a-
zine upon public favor and support. 1t will con-
tinue to present, at the cheapest price the most
interesting and instructive literary matter original
and selected, domestic and foreign, in the most
elegant and convenient style, and accompaniedby

pendlture Of money can command. They appeal
with confidence TO the past as a guarantee that
their promises for the future will be abundantly
fulfilled.

fishers, al three dollars year, or twenty-five
