To every one who shall buy copy of this pic
ture will be given ticket which will entitle the
holder to an in terest in the above named proper
~, to be determined in drawing to take place
on or about the 18th of September.
That this enterprise will be faithfully and hon.
estly prosecuted and brought to a satisfactory
contamination in all its parts and integrity, it is
only necessary to state that the author and man
ager is MR.. W. T. SMITHSON, formerly of
Washington, who is widely and favorably known
throughout Virginia, and who refers TO the fol-
loving parties in New York: Latham, Alexan-
der Co., Bankers, Wall street. James Chieves

From the Comeout (Ohio) Citizen.
The Portrait Pane.

One of the most singular occurrences we
have heard of is the profile of man upon
window pane on the north side Of a house
at Ashtabula Harhor, occupied at present
by Mr.. Charles Lynn. D. B. Geary visit
ed the place recently for the purpose OF
gratifying his curiosity, and reports as fol-
lows The outlines of this strange picture
were first noticed some six weeks ago, grad
ually being developed, until on the occasion
of his visit the profile was perfect, and the
expression of the eye particularly sharp
and clear Mr. Geary states that while
looking at 1t there seemed to be no escape
from the stare get in what position you
will, the eye seems to rest upon you with
its piercing sharpness.
The profile represents man OF middle
age, very heavy, full bread, with turn down
collar. Some days ago Mr.. Lynn sold the
sash containing this profile to gentleman
for $25 Upon being removed from its
position in the house no trace Of the strange
picture could be seen, but upon being re-
placed it was as plain to the eye as before
This marvel is attracting people BY hun
dreds, the road to and from the house being
constantly thronged with visitors, anxious
to witness the sight. Hon. B. F. Wade
and lady are among those who visited the
place. Mr. Geary states that all attempts
to wash it off have been without the least
effect, although the strongest acid have been
applied
A REMARKABLE WoMAN.-About twenty

hood, and she kills deer. bear and other

but before coming up with it another hun

mcnced carving it up. The lady expostula-
ted with no avail, and drew a bead on him
with her rife to enforce her ''rights," the
fellow jumped behind tree but left his
heels exposed, at which vulnerable spot the
old lady fred and hit. She got her deer She

Conventions Of the Townships and Wards
are called, on the Goth, to select delegates to
the Conservative State Convention. Bear
in mind the places and be present. It is
necessary that the best men-men of the
clearest and coolest heads should be sent to
this body. The party is to be recognized
for the coming State campaign, and it is
necessary that there should be perfect har-
mony in the Convention. We want no
fre-brands thrown in to distract No quib-
bles over names and the like. We prefer to
fight under the Democratic name, but sue
cess over the Republican party is more inn
portant than mere party name. Send
men who will be certain to create harmony
in that body and who will devise plan Of
organization and action, which will avoid
dissension among the masses. The Conser-
vative party as unit cannot fail of success.
The Republican party is now unit and is
becoming very active. 1t is therefore the
more important that the greatest discretion
in the selection of delegates be Observed
Hold your meetings and send your best men
and all will be well. There is much al
stake and it behooves us to act promptly as
we'll as wisely.
