MOUNT NERyoy.--Olr fellow citizen, Mr..
David Haas, has, we observe, prepared some
elegant Photographic views Of Mount Yer
non, for the use ct visitors. The first Is a
front view Of the vault; the sarcophagus be-
iag seen within and the inscription over the
gate being perfect; the very planks which
form the walk to the tomb, aud the trees and
shrubbery around, are given with striking
fidelity to nature. The second, which is in
our judgment the best, is side and front
view of the tOmb, the sarcophagus of Mrs
Washington being visible: In this, tie very
yuirting end replacement Of single bricks
which has been recently done, strikes the
hehoider, AID shows him how accurate an
idea oi the sacred spot lie may obtain from
n picture. Iae t1ird view Is of the Front OF
the mansion, executed IN style In 10 way
Inferior to Cue others. 10 these, which arc
on Bristol boards, II by l4Dchcs, Dir. Haas
bias added photograph OF the bust Of WASH
iugton from which Clark Mills is modelling
his great equestrian statue, also on Bristol
board, 10 by 10 inches.
These photographs though suited for franz
ing are contained in neat port folio. with a
handsome dedication to the Mount Vernon
Lad es' Association printed in silver on the
cover, and will dou ctiess prove to pilgrims
an acceptable mementO of their visit to the
Mecca Of freedom"
The execution # these photographs reflects
the highes! credit upon the skill of Dir. Haas,
as an All st, and he will doubtless fad
handsome pecuniary recompense for his labor
in the demand for its product.
