The art of photography since its cI6a-
ton has heen considered Justly As enc of
the most useful and one of the most won
derful attainments ofskiH and ingenuity.
It has undergone many and various i'm
proVsmhnts and now stands 20 high in the
scale Of perfection that when one looks ct
= well flushed sun picture from Abe hands
Of some Of the modern artists, 1t seems
impossible that anything could be added
TO bring cut or increase the nAturalness
or beauty Of representations. Still ii must
be admitted that the future win make a.
many and as great additions A. the past
has done. Canton has made as long strides
ahead in photography as in any other or
nauentaI and useful arts and sciences,
and nowhere in the country can better
work in this line be produced than here.
Foremost among the photograph CALLER
les of the city stands that Of A. Price.
Everybody knows where Andy,s pariors
are, and the large number of visitors at
the we'll known old stand tsstlies thatthO
knowledge Of its whereabouts is made
use Of.
Mr.. Price does . large business, and
many OF hl1 customers come rom con6lQ-
cradle distance. The line of pictures made
includes all Of the most popular styles
and varieties. The beautiful shadow
pictures, or Rembrandt's, a. they are usu-
ally called, are made a speciality of and
are taken With the -fulEeffeet gained by
all the modern improvements. Crayon
portraits are made ife-Glzs and skilful ar
fists are kept employed upon this class of
work, and water color and India ink pic
lures. Cabinet and card sizes Of photo
graphs in an endless variety and in the
highest style of the art are taken in large
numbers every day, and in this depart
ment Mr.. Price has made for himself q
high reputation for his careful and taste
full work.
Samples of all the finest styles of pic
lures are to be found in Mi. Prices large
parlors in profusion, and q visit to the
establishment cannot fail TO be q pleas
ant one to all who have an eye for the
beautiful and appreciation Of this particu-
lar branch ofart. A VISIT for pleasure
alone is wei worth being made 10 the
| gallery, and an hour spent in viewing the
many fine specimens ofthO photographer
skill will convince all that Mr.. Prices
reputation for doing the very best OF work
] is we'll founded.

"THE NORTH SCHOOL ,"-0f our city is
under the immediate charge of Mr., Leh-
q teacher of several years experience
and of devoted energy. Having Tuesday
afternoon Of this week at our disposal,
something that don't often happen, we
visited the North School building, and
spent the afternoon there very pleasantly.
In Nj. Lehnans room are the girls and
boys NEST advanced, reading in the fifth
reader, studying Arithmetic, Geography
and oral Grammar, besides music and
defamation. The other three rooms are
under the Misses Bowen, Stanley and
Davis, all worthy girls and devoted teach
ers. We spent 3 few minutes in each Of
the three rooms and listened to rehe2rsals
in each. Good attention and subordina-
ton on the part OF the little pupils were
manifest, and We doubt not that good
progress L. the rule, We gave most of
the time to Mr.. Lehman's room, and heard
singing exercises and defamation. Nj.
L. has q musical instrument, ne bslieve >
Cabinet organ, in his room on which sew
eral of the girls play and thus assist the
exercises. The pieces detained or
recited were poetical and choice selections.
They were, too, very creditably spoken, =
little hurriedly as q general thing but
practicing for some times upon these same
pieces viii enable them to control this
and by taking more and sufficient time
they can and will add vocal grGces and
gestures. These only come after famili-
srity and practice. We occupied the floor
q short time, and, at the request Of Mr..
Lehman, made 8 few suggestions, accom-
panied with q few vocal examples, which
we are glad to cay, were attentiTely lis
tened to by the pupils. Mr.. Lehman's
roomEs beautifully supplied with q variety
of thriving plants, and the walls ofhis room
are occupied with suggestive pictures,
among which We remember portraits Of
Washington and an old printer named
Franklin. We would suggest to our elti-
zens more frequent visitations to the
public schools, and shall take q due share
OF The suggestion to number one.

A LITERARY TREAT-We ara glad to
see ur city favored with able literary tai
emit. Our city did credit by their patron
age Of Mrs. Siddons' readings, and we
hope will sustain by liberal patronage
Of the entertainments Of Prof. Melville
Bonham, announced for Monday and
Tuesday next. His reputation is unex-
celled IN many Of our cities, as will be
seen In the positive testimonials given
him: .
Prof. Melville Bonham Is gone. We
are sorry his splendid, h~igh-toned enter
tainments are over. It was q treat-nay,
more, one can imagine perfection. A
perfect reader, one who reads-caters out
to the audience the very soul of the
written matter-one who goes back to the
author and pe~netrAtes his inmost being
dives down into the great ocean Of ideas
half expressed for want of ingual power
one who brings up all the rich treasures
Of the soul of the Writsr and gives them
to his hearers with unbounded Gberality.
Professor Melville Bonham is moro than
this. He is one of the worlds biggest
stars. As q reader, he Is unsurpassed.
AS a d~elineator he Is in the very front
rank. His characters are all present at
his call in the person Of himself. As q
vocalist he has few peers. His short stay
of three evenings IN the city was too short,
but we hope land in this hope we are in
the company Of all our leading citizens)
Prot. Bonham will honor Fort Wayne
again.-Fort Wagne Daily Sentinel.
Prof. Bonham gives the best enteytGin-
mend, 6yJGr, eUsT gwen IN our city of that
character. We saw fan audience
display more genuine sGtisfGceion than
was exhibited by tbs Professors large au-
dlence last evening.-Souh Bend, Ind,

His entertainments are made up Of
choice selections, tragic, comic, pathetic
and eccentric, interspered with songs, rem

mittee of the council and the ordinance.
Esquire Grimes, being called upon said
he had, in accordance with Instructions,
sent out notices but when it came to bring
suit the city Solicitor informed him
the Mayor was the only authority that
could do so, and accordingly he (Grines)

own action and situation. be had as
much sympathy as any one, and If he
could he would be glad to wipe out all
