enough for the minutest ring, or large
enough for framing.

Gallipolis.
Ny patrons and friends give an ear to my call:
Pleasant, witty, agreeable, stout, thin, short
or tall,
All ages and sexes, young or old. rich or poor,
For I'm pleased as you know, when you enter
my door;
To gain your attention, I have written in verse.
Which perhaps you will think neither witty
nor terse;
But on this occasion, as wish you to know it,
have timidly ventured my strength as poet,
Not in measure "Byronic," but more "Hudi-
Drastic"
Which if short of "feet'' will stretch like
gumlastic,
Should the want of a word make the verse to
stand still,
Why make the line longer or shorter at will,
Which / think you will OWNS sconvenientquite.
And Of course makes the task more agreeable
and light
Now after this prelude, your attention to win,
/ now make my best bow to you all, and begin.
To my friends from the country, as well as in
town,
Wherever located, far or near, up or down,
Ny rooms you'll find easy. then give me a call,
Situated on Second. todd Fellows Hail.,
Greenwood's buildings the place, you can't
go astray,
For Carefs FOundry's directly over the way,
In the centres the entrance, up one flight OF
stairs,
There I'll welcome you all, without putting
on airs"
To begin with the cherub, before he can walk,
Or the prattle of childhood, just learning to
talk;
can catch the resemblance of the "sweet lit
tie dears''
From the babe of six months, to the child Of
Just as natural as life" with each iufantile
Neither dress, limb or feature, the least oufof
A few seconds is all the time require
To get such picture as heart can desire;
Now to you, lovely woman, mans first and
best friend,
Ny pictures of ToU, l at once recommend,
If not good, I'd not praise them, for lucre or
Pelf;
But each likeness will speak, trumpet
tongued" for itself,
Those not QUITE so good looking, / improve if
they will,
And the handsome-I make them look hand
SOmer sJill;
All tastes can be suited, only think-but you'll
laugh
A fine picture and case for Dollar and half:
The case is morocco, silk velvet the lining,
To enclose your sweet face, which with beauty
is shining.
And 'last though not least" to the gentlemen
all,
II you want bold picture. why give me call,
Not likeness which you a RESEMBLANCE may
trace,
But picture full Of artistic beauty and grace;
Take look al my cases, and think you will
| find
Utility, beauty and neatness combined,
Superior TO many, ISFERIoB to none,

If the sky should look low ring, Or cloudy the

re- The Washington correspondent

~ The Washington correspondent
of the Tribune writes:
The reclamations for the destruction
of property belonging to French sub
iects at San Juan exceeded somewhat
the round sum of 100000.
The English reclamations will much
exceed that of the French; one English
merchant had large packages of ralua-
bic merchandise there on their way to
the western coast. There were also
some Granadian and Spanish merchants
who were heavy losers; it is potable
that half a million of dollars will not
more than cover the damage suffered
by them.

Fabens borrowed of Wood to pay the

defend the building Of the Transit Com
pany.

OUR PRIMARY ELEcTIoEs.-It is I'M
portant that we have a general attend
ance at the Primary Elections, for the
choosing of candidates for county Off
ces. By reference to the call of the
Whig Central Committee, it will be seen
that the Wings in each township are
requested to meet at their usual place
of holding elections, on Saturday, Sep
tender I'd, for this purpose. There are
stated times for opening and closing the
polls, which have never heretofore been
given, which omission gave rise to dis
content at our last Primary Elections;
moreover none but Wings will be al
lowed to vote. 1t is hoped there will
be general turnout on the occasion,
that ticket may be formed that will
command respect and secure the conf
dence Of the people. The Wings of
this county are dead-set against wire
pulling conventions, and very justly
too, and now that an opportunity is af-
fOrded, of bringing out good and true
men, it remains to be seen if it will be
embraced. 1t will be ungenerous in the
extreme for Wings to find fault with
the ticket after it is formed, if they re-
main inactive and take no part in our
Primary Elections. To secure a good
ticket let every Wing go to the polls, and
there perform his duty in the premises,
for the times require it. and moreover
there will be no cause for complaint,
