The picture is @ very striking one, the two Turks being especially spirited. sI It IS work that cer- stainly does great credit to the artist. ,--Attention is called to the notice of a Enesting of the Circulating Library on Batunaay evening next. Last summer the Oldimakhod of selling the books at auc- tion every month was given up, and the plan of opening the library every fort night adopted instead.
