THE PLUMB PHOTOGRAPHIC GALLERY
This old and favorite Photographic establish
ment is one of the features of the National
Metropolis, and strangers visiting Washinston
are pretty sure to visit it, finding its collection
OF pecimeR pictures exceedingly valuable and
Interesting We believe the Plumb Gallery can
boast the largest collection of pictures Of dis
uDguished Americans, especially those who
have passed off the stage, of any establishment
In the country, it having always enjoyed that
leading reputation in Washington that brought
to 1t for their portraits all the leading states
men OF successive years. The photographs
taken at this gallery are disting uished for ex-
celence of likeness, and for certain softness
and beauty of finish giving them q high value
as pictures well as portraits. Imperfect
pictures of deceased persons are, by some inge-
Nous process, mere Win llfe-l1ke
effect. In carteS rfSite this gallery excels, as
well as in amproty pes; and the gallery has
also great reputation for its work in the way
of colored photographs We advise a call at
the place, 356H Pennsylvania avenue.
EsTLIN's COCKS SKINNED BY THE REBELS.
Just before the late inv aston, we hear, that a
well known sporting man residing in Mont.
gomery county, had made preparations for g.
cock fight. and had laid in a supply Of "gaffsn
foT his game ROSTERS, 70 in number, which
were matched against some plucky cocks from
New York. While these preparations were
being made, the rebels were reported approa CHI
ing the house, and our cock fighter made tracks
for the city, where he remained until af er the
retreat; and when he returned he found that
the rebs had played the deuce generally with
the birds. They had put the gaffs on them and
pitted them against each other, and from the
appearance OF the ground there had heen a
bloody battle fought numbers of the birds ly-
ing dead about the place. The rebels also dis
played their barbarism by Sitting the fowls
down the back and skinning them.
