L
citizens of Columbus are to be congratu-
lated on having in their midst a fine art
gallery presenting attractions which are
not surpassed by any city in the Union.
] We refer to the Photographic establishment
of Messrs. Baldwin 6 Stevens, 81 South
High street. Having an hour of leisure
yesterday afternoon, we improved it, much
to our qualification, by looking at the mag
nificent collection of finished pictures of
all kinds now on exhibition at this art pal
ace, and we propose to give our readers a
brief description of what was shown US by
Mr.. Bald win. SN tf
First, we looked at the new and beauti-
| ful, life size, water color picture. This
| splendid picture is warranted as durable as
oil, and is beyond doubt one of the most
exquisite works of art to be found in all
the land. Our citizzens have doubtless
observed specimens OF the style in the
show windows of some of the leading
| business houses on High street. We were
next shown the apparatus for enlarging
work, which enlarges daguerrotype to
any desired size, when it may be fini3hed
in ink, water colors, or oil. This appe1atus
is complete in all its parts and one VI hich
cannot fail to produce satisfactory work
Messrs. b. & s., have just receivM
full set of new furniture for making All
entirely new style of cabiret card, AMI card
photographs, which are perfect gems of
art.
Mr.. Augustus Wagner, of Philadelphia,
has been engaged in the colorng depart
ment of the art gallery, and as he is unsur-
passed in his profession, patrons may rest
assured of receiving the finest description
of finished pictures. gazE 5r
But for facilities for taking children's
pictures, Messrs. B. & S. certainly stand
pre-eminent. They are taken, to any size.
in five seconds, and taken perfectly The
finest child's picture we ever saw in any
gallery is now receiving the finishing
touches at the hands of the painter, Mr..
Wagner, at this gallery. The subject is
beautiful little daughter of Mrs. Jordon, of
Dayton, and so exquisitely have the finish
ed artists performed their work, that it
simply challenges criticism. 1t is perfect.
Should our citizens desire to see the finest
specimens of Photographic art in the coun-
try. let them by all means visit the gal
lery of Messrs. Baldwin & Stevens,
FATAL RAILROAD AccIDENT-MAN KILL
ED.-Last, evening, about half past six
O'Clock, man whose name is unknown,
was killed by the engine of MOL freight,
about mile north of theIdepot. The en-
gine was coming down the grade, having
been detached from the train on the hill
just beyond the entrance to the freight
yard. The engineer was using no. steam.
He saw the man coming towards him but
could not stop for fear the train behind
would run into him. He whistled, but the
man, as if bent on his own destruction,
paid no attention to the warning. The
cow catcher, as it struck him, broke
both his legs and threw him, head
first against the butting bar of the locomo-
tive. He was thrown about five feet from
the track and was killed instantly. The
man must have been under the influence of
liquor. or the warning whistle would have
been needed. A broken bottle was found
in his pocket. He was about five feet eight
inches in height, wore black chin whiskers
and moustaehe, and was very bald On his
person was pocketbook containing S3.16,
black handled pocket knife, three trunk
keys, a door key, and an old handkerchief,
but nothing by which he could be identi-
fled. His remains were at the depot last
night. TssIs r. 'ai77re0 -7-s - -ii7eE- "a
