The New Hampshire Governors.

| We have given items frequently during
. the past year concerning the collection Of
: portraits of Governors Of this State, by our
| Secretary of State b. +. Prescott, Esq, who
! has devoted much attention to tie work.
and whose efforts have been rewarded with
almost unlocked for success. The collec-
tiOn is now so nearly complete that plan
tor displaying the portraits has been ar
ranged, and nearly all OF the pictures are
in position on the walls of the council
chamber, which have been painted in oil,
and are of delicate lilac shade. The por-
traits are arranged in the following order:
On the east wall, over the Governors chair,
is Matthew Thornton, who was president OF
the convention which governed the Prov
ince Of New Hampshire after the retire
ment of the royal Governor, in May, l77j.
On the south and west walls are two
lines Of portraits. Commencing with the
upper line on the south side we find John
Langdon, John Sullivan, and Josiah Bart
lett, all of whom were presidents under the
constitution of 1884. There is only one miss
ing of the presidents-Meshech Weare--Of
whom no portrait has yet been found. Fol
lowing these are jeremiah Smith, William
Plummer, and Samuel Bell, with a vacant
space for Levi Woodbury., whose portrait
is expected soon. In the upper line, on the
west side, we find David l.. M0rril, Benia-
min Pierce, Matthew Harvey, Samuel Dins-
moor, and William Badger, and on the
north wall Isaac Hill and John Page.
In the second line on the south wall is a
vacant space for Henry Hubbard, and por
traits of John II. Steele, Anthony Colby,
Jared w. Williams, Samuel Dinsmoor, sec.
ond, and Noah Martin; on the west wall,
Nathaniel b. Baker, Ralph Metcalf, Will
liam Halle, IchabOd Goodwin, Nathaniel
= Berry: on the north wall, Joseph a. Gil
more and Fred A. Smyth.
In the third line on the south side are
Walter Hartman, ODsiOw Sterns. James
A. Weston and Ezekiel A. Straw.
The two missing Governors are John
Taylor Gilman, of whom either bust or
portrait is expected, and John Bell, Of
whom likeness is 'pected. 1t is desIra-
bic that portraits OF both of these gentle
men shall DE procured, if possible, So as to
complete the collection OF Governors since
1872
1t is probable that portraits of some of
the provincial Governors may be obtained,
particularly Joseph Dudley (I6S6l, William
Burnett (l72S), and Jonathan Belcher
(I73O), and we presume Benning Went
worth l7ii), and John Wentworth lI767).
The portraits in the council chamber
will prove an attractive object of interest
to all visitors at the capitol hereafter, and
Mr.. Prescott will have the satisfaction of
knowing that he has rendered a service to
the citizens OF New Hampshire by collect
ing the portraits. which is OF !ncalculable
Statesman.

\ ToUCnlNG SToHY.-A touching story
is told of lady in Kentucky who was
stricken with "A sudden failing of the optic
nerve, and was told that she could not re-
tain her sight more than few days at
most, and was liable to be totally deprived
of it at any moment. She returned to her
home. quietly made such arrangements as
would occur to any one about to commence
50 dark II journey of life, and then had her
two little children, attircd in their brightest
costumes, brought before her. and so with
their little faces lifted to hers, and tears
gathering for the great misfortunes that
they hardly realized, the light faded ou
of the mothers eyes.
