full correspondence of the Crayon for August, we
are enabled to extract items of interest re

well as painters, are pursuing their art with
industry. The father in engaged upon two series
of pictures, "The Seasons" and 1.-THE Montbs."-
Rogers has nearly completed in marble the statue
of Nydia the Blind Girl. He has also a smaller
statue of boy skating, which is pleasant sim pie
story, truthfuIly told. Crawfords studio is open,
and presents melancholy spectacle with it's half
finished works lying around in every direction
The large statue of james Otis, for the State Of
Virginia, is a noble and commanding figure, and
the block of marble from which it is cut is with,
out mark or stain. Here also the Peri, the
Tambourine Player, the Flora, Pastoral, and the
Boy playing at Msrbles.the last charming little
