VERGENNEs.


in Nergenncs for some time past He is
an artist of decided merit and has been very
well patrOnized by our citizens. His spc-
ciaity is Lithnyrophe crayoning. Among
those portraits which have been finished,
we noticed a very fine one of IL. j. Talbot,
Esq, one of our genial common council
men, ii. &. johnson, OF the (post oilice)
had much better treatment under the deli
cate touch Of Mr.. Burke than he generally
gets from outsiders, His shadow stands
out and you can almost imagine he is talk
ing politics, he looks so ploa.aut. Foreman
f. II. Murphy, of the Stevens Hose is
another fortunate man. He never had as
hard a check as johnson but the likeness
is excellent. Mr. Burke has excellent tasie
and does his work to the entire satisfaction
of all who have patroHizod him. The work
is enlarged from photographs andsn many
cases it has madca better looking man
of the purchaser.

place last night, tuesday, The residence

tanned about 500, and replaced. The
clothes were thrown down outside the
bedroom door. Money was ali that was
wanted apparently, a. valuable papers were
left in the book, and another watch on the
