A MIRACLE OF ART.-There is now on ex-
hibition in Paris, at the present time in Rue
Neuoe -des- pet1-champs, Ga long name for New
Littleteld street, No. 8, one of the most re-
markable pieces of nasterwork, which the
union of art and science has ever produced.
1t consists of a picture of about three feet
square. This picture is made up of colors adj
mirable for their beauty and boldness, but
there is no subject. The most experienced eye
can detect nothing but disjointed and half
formed approximations towards coherent de-
sign. The most able artists see there only the
finest colors, but no one can tell what they
are intended to represent. In the middle of
the picture which is horizontally placed, is a
mirror formed by copper cylinder, covered
by perfectly polished coating of silver. This
mirror is usually yelled. So far, there is little
remarkable, and the greatest amateurs in
painting would hardly consent to spend five
francs on such an apparently proftless study.
But it is impossible not to feel glow of ad-
miration, when, on uncovering the mirror,
there is represented upon it in the brightest
rejecting rays, the whole scene of the Cruel
| fixion. The partial coloring then takes a
character of incontestible superiority, and pre-
sents to the astonished spectators a picture
composed of six most perfect figures, depicted
with degree of boldness such as the master
| painters alone knew how to impart to the sub
| Ject which it was their glory to represent

FINE IMPORTED Stock. Our townsman
PAINE ALDRIcH has recently purchased a
bull and three COWS, all very fine animals of
their kind, of the celebrated Attorney breed.
These cattle, though rather small in size, are
famous throughout Europe, for the superiority
in richness of their milk, and of the butter
made from it. They originated in the Island
of Alderney, but the principal source from
which they are now obtained, is the rich agri-
cultural Island of Jersey, in the same neigh
borhood Mr.. Aldrich's animals were selected
by skilful amateur from the best stock on
the Island, and one of the cows took the first
prize at the annual fair the year preceding.
One of them has given milk through the
summer. She is nearly the medium size of
cows of the common breed. Her milk is of
extraordinary richness, and the butter, of
which we have seen and tasted specimen,
may fairly be considered standard of perfec-
ton of that article. She yielded, on an av-
erage, about two pounds day of such butter
through the summer, without extra feed.
One OF the other cows has calf by her side,
and the other will soon have one.
Mr.. Aldrich deserves much credit for his
enterprise in procuring this stock at an outlay
OF money that would startlc timid farmers. He
will exhibit at the annual Cattle Show in this
city. This breed, it appears to US, is peculiar
arly adapted to the wants of our community.
where SO large portion of the stock is milcb
cows, for family use or for butter making.
