A FINE PIcTURE.-There is to be seen at
Sargents a landscape scene, a copy of an
original picture, by G. Stone, a pupil OF
Coles. The scene is on RootskilI Creek,
and is characteristic of the valley of the
Hudson. All admirers of Thomas Cole and
his works cannotfail to be interested in this,
for the pupil has displayed some of the
finest qualities of his renowned master.
The brilliant foliage of the foreground and
the hazy, dreamy distance tell you it is In
dian summer. Three ducks on the wing
are about to disturb the mirror-like surface
of the water. From the rich forest glade
~chequered by the level sunbeams, to the
delicious autumnal atmosphere that softens
the distant mountains, the whole picture,
alike in composition and handling, is full
of beauty and character, and is well worth
q visit. This copy was made by A. Pease,
of New York, formerly of this city. 1t is
owned by C. W. Stearns, and is for sale.

Wisconsin, that the brig Mary, owned by H.

NEW LIGHT HoUsE.-A Light House has
been erected at Point Peninsula, between
Little and Big Bays de Noquette, at the

schooner Winfield Scott, owned in this city
by S. F. Drake, bound down with a cargo Of
lumber, from Saginaw, struck on Point au
Barque Reef, Lake Huron, on Thursday, and
to all appearances is hard7on. The weather
at the time was moderate, and there is
possibility that by tightening a sufficient
quantity of her cargo she may be got off.
CoLLIsIoE.-Cabtain Atwood, of the pro-
peller Oneida, reports that the brig Stand
art and the park S. V. R. Watson, collidet
when off Point Wagooshance. The Stand

Garrison, will deliver alecture on the "Past,
Present and Future of our Country in

heroic and grand, his work is of such mag
nitude, and his subject so well calculated to
reveal what is best and noblest in his ex-
.perience and in the mar himself, that all
Will be eager to see and hear him.

LEFT HAND Writing By SoLDIERs.-A
large number of our brave soldiers having
lost their right arm in the service of the
country, the advantage of properly qualify
ing themselves for properly filling clerk
ships and other positions where they could
make their labors remunerative, suggested
to Mr.. Bourne, editor of the Soldiers Friend,
New York, the novel plan of offering pre-
miums for superiority of le~ft-handed PEN
manship. The idea has proved not only
practical but beneficial, and many of the
brave boys, deprived of right hands, have
sent him specimens of writing highly credit
able and showing business qualifications.
The editor of Harper's Weekly, who has ex-
amined the manuscripts, speaks as follows :
mems of left-hand writing from Union SOL
diers who have been disabled in the war,
and who have been invited by Mr.. VIM. o.
Bourne, editor of the Soldiers Friend, to
compete for liberal prizes.
1.-THE writing is generally what is called
'b~ack-handed'; but the neatness of the man
useripts and their legibility, with the good
sense and interest of the variations and OBJ
servations, are delightful and unexpected.
1t is really astonishing to see how rapidly a
man may learn to write admirably with his
left hand. The specimens come from every
part of the country, and all indicate a deep
interest in the thoughtful and generous pro-
position Of Mr.. Bourne, which has undoubt-
eddy stimulated many a man to accomplish
himself for clerkly occupation. The public
Ity given to the proposal for competition
has been somewhat limited, and the time is
extended to the LIST of January. Let every
left-handed soldier write a brief sketch, of
some three or four pages, of his personal ex-
Perience, as neatly and legibly as they can,
roll it smoothly upon wood, and send it to
Wm. o. Bourne, editor of the Soldiers
Friend, New York"
Among the soldiers who lave lost right
arms and who have made much proficiency
in writing with the left hand, is Baxton
Trevor, at the Soldiers Home, in this city.
He has labored diligently to prepare himself
to earn a livelihood, and the ladies of the
Home say he is active, industrious, intelli-
gent, exemplary in his conduct, and emf
nently worthy of some remunerative posi-
ton he can fill, either public or private. He
now writes a fair, legible hand with facility,
and should nave a snug place at once in
some of the Government offices in the
city. Congress has urged by a resolution
that disabled soldiers should have the pref
erence in Government employ, and gratitude
to the brave men who periled their life and
lost limbs in saving the Republic should
vacancies for them where none exist.
Able-bodied civilians must remember that
the rear rank is the post of duty as well as
honor to them.

PHRENoLoGIcAL.-Prof O.. S. Fowler, Of
New York, gave a free lecture in Brainard's
Hall last evening, to a full house. His sub
ject was: Health and PhrenolOgy, self-Cul
ture and Children" it being the introduce
tory discourse of a series of lectures which
he will give during the week. He lectures
at the same place this evening on Glove
and Marriage" The Professor gives daily
professional examinations at his rooms in
the American House, rot at the John
son House, as advertised. We II
derstand that he viii make at the close of
his lectures public examinations of the
heads of such people as volunteer to go for
ward.

"HEFTNEss."-Erie county, Ohio, is on it
way to the all-conquering Barnum, in the
persons of two young girls, ten and clever
years of age, respectively, who, though SC
young, are already individuals of weight
"solid7 folks, as the figures 2O5 and 21j may
prove, which stand as the measure of their
substance" Females are generally J, weighed,
we believe, by Troy measure, or ought to be,
since they must rank as precious commodi-
ties. But the figures above represent pounds
avoirdupois.
These girls, in their transit, will be exhib-
tied at CARROTS Hall three evenings, com
mencing tonight.
