VERY CREDITABLE.-We were this morn
ing shown fine oil painting, the work of
Urillia Mcdaniel, son of our we'll known
painter. The painting shown US gives a
view in Sicily with Mt. Astrs in the back
ground, an ancient castle to the left, and a
beautiful little lake in the center. The
main point in the picture is an old ruin in the
foreground. five ancient, massive arches
covered with moss and shrnbbery, decaying
and passing away. The young lad, aged
only IS years, handles the brush with skill
for one so young, and gives promise of max
ing fine artist in the future. He has al
ready painted and sold several of his works,
the last one being view of the ruins o
Ticonderoga, the scene of Ethan Aliens tri
umph over the British, and q very fine pic
ture be made of it. We wish him success.
and would inform that we should be pleased
to add some of his works to our collection.
