TOWN AND COUNTY MATIEkS.
PeN PICTURE-Our attention was the other
day called to portrait of Gen. Washington, ex-
ecuted with a pen, AS portrait 1t lis very good
indeed, but the whole design Of the picture gives
nnmistakabe evidence of talent and taste. The
base of the picture is a scroll, bearing the word
I. Constitution" and held on either side by God
dess Of Liberty, bearing in the unengaged hands
the National Flag Two columns rise from the
ends of this scroll, forming the sides these are
gracefully draped, on one of which are tho words
"The Constitution, must and shall be preserv-
edu: on the other " United we stand, divided

.--1s l. ls enter is the portrait of Wash
ington.
The picture is in possession of Mr.. Jos Craig,
Of Weavervillc, and was executed by VIM. Kit
tarhusb. West Weaver miner Considering that
Il IA the work of gentleman whose avocation
must necessarily harden and stitfen his hands,
rendering it difficult to make the fine strokes
with pen, the picture certainly reflects credit
upon Mr.. Ritterbush

Sheriff Kellogg were crossing Indian creek, a
short distance above the mouth, last Saturday

TO 81, 100. The current being rapid they were
carried out of sight, and In all probability into
the river Mr.. Jones Immediately offered $3.50

to press it had not been found.
