ID is found ~ thr possession OF Mrs. MaGanns, Of
whom IL was bought many years ago by a picture
restorer named Eeui!cy fof 500. Mr.. Wynn Ellis
bought it Of Bnley for $32j. IN 1883 it was a
fuI-ength. When it came into Mr.. Ellis's posses
sion. il had been cut on little below the knees.
Wno did this is not huown-stil less why it
~ done. 50 far on the theory that the pOr-
trait is really the portrait Of the Duchess Of
Devoushire painted by Glusborough. but there
arc scptics who doubt this, oFel deny it alto
ccther from both internal and historical evidence.
Leslie in lis lilo OF Reynolds, says tho Gansborough
Duchess is tho one now mt Athorp Earl Spenccrs
place. On the other hand, two ongayings OF it
were exhibited at the SALE with the name taken
from small sketch in griiadlo. by Gainsborougb,
which has long been in Lady Cfdci's possession.
Ye. this Is not an old engraving. When come to
the evidence the painting itself supplies, ono party
says il is not Gaiil5bOrOugPs touch, another
that it is Gainsborough; that nobody else ever
lived who conld have done it, but that some
prolane and modern hand has ropaintcd the face.
OF this latter fact there ia, believe, no question.
The picture has been restored" which is the PIC
tnre dealers word for destroying fine works Of old

1t was started with bid of 1000 gum

Then it went by leaps Of 800 and 900 till
it reached 10000 guineas Then pause; then
Mr. Agnew bid l0.l00 guineas and the picture fell
to him. In round numbers the price is $4,000.
Mr. Agnew is said to have bought it on commission
for Mr. Broomehall. the amateur for whom last year
he purchased the Marlborough gems in one lot at
$l75,OO0 1t is also said that he bought it in the
regular course OF his business statement not
absolutely inconsistent with the other. 1t is just
8 100 guneas more than the same dealer paid last
year for Turner's Grand Canal" which he bought
over Lord Dudley's head in order to sell it 10 him

ACCIDENT ON THE RAILRoAD.-On Sunday
evening about seven o'clock as the five o clock
train from New York was approaching Tren-
ton, and when near Monmouth street bridge,
by the displacement of switch she ran off
the track, damaging the locomotive and three
cars but resulting in no accident to the pas
sengers, who were, however, a little shaken up
1t appears that bridge at the barracks was
being repaired, about one hundred men being
engage. in lowering the track some two feet.
A train had been run on the barrack siding
some time during the day, and the switch was
not changed, and when the five o'clock came
along She ran right off the switch on the
sleepe for distance of about $50 feet, the
locomotive COZ, coming to a stand under the
Monmouth street bridge, the pilot of which
knocked the supporting pillars from under
that structure. The locomotive, baggage, and
one Pullman car went off, the tender and one
car being thrown over on the side, the trucks
of the tender blowing in the ground. James
Sanford was the engineer, and John Garria-
gan c,nductor A train was backed up from
the depot and the passengers transferred with
but little delay. The wrecking car was
promptly on the ground, and work immedia-
tely commenced to repair the damage. En-

to have been success In every particular
The house was pretty we'll filled both even

sic furnished by a number of pieces from
Winklers Cornet Band, of Trenton. As re-
suit of this effort, the Sum Of about $65 was
cleared, which will be judiciously used for the
Company's improvement. The Company, as
a whole, is composed of persons who are not
lacking of commendabe energy, and who are
willing to make sacrifices in order to have thti

thereto, in condition that will enable them

Mr. EDITOR :-zAs sat writing last week,
plainly heard the guns firing in our village,
killing and wounding lot of tame pigeons,
brought up from Lambertville, from the pens
of E. Decatur who, understand, keeps quite
a lot always on hand for such purposes. In
looking at the scene, we beheld crowd of
some fifty men and boys all Engaged in shoot
ing and wounding the innocent birds. We
judge they must have been men With nothing
at all to do aid men without anything like
humane feelings, or even any feelings for the
poor birds that went futtering along and were
stoned to death by some thoughtlsss boys.

Ills brave old engine yall0wing in the ground !;
And he threw open thevalve, only to find,
His old boss kicking a,rss1ind. $50
A, d when hts Infantry prrjyed, they say,
The troops refused to,fghkt fbr ninety cents aday;
But when the sandwiches were passed around
Every man was Premptly ~ the Srpund
The sharpbackers turned onif quite strong,
And brought their moving macines along
Determined TO defend fiIe honor Of our State,
And to protect the poor Frog at any-ratc.
But then an Angel didaarpear. =
Aud commanded none 10 Interfere
With the frog or with the track,
Until the Chancellor sent word back.
The word came aud was passed around
That the frog must be maintained upon the ground
Aud white the BouDdbrookers screamed their best,
Pennsylvania took Grerlef advice and started West.
And so the fearful war was ended,
And New Jerseys honor defended
And the only bloody deedlof valor done,
Was performed by Phil and his little sword and gun.
CAPT JACK.
