rest and who do not relish the Celestial music.

Mr.. J. NJ. DAT, il. * Co., have a very neat oil
painting in their store nicely framed and offered
for sale. 1t is said TO be the work of 4 young lady
Of this city who is too modest to allow her name to
be made known as the artist. We venture to say
that the young lady Will IN time make Z hrSt-clasS
painter if this picture may be taken as a fair sam
pie of her skill. and probably her name would help
the sale. Local talent. so meritorious, deserves
encouragement.

well about 100 feet deeper without obtaining any
better flow. He will now sink the we'll deeper
still. At the depth of 596 feet a layer of loose soil
was struck, which has a tendency 10 cave in. This
necessitates a reduction of the size of bore from
SIS to Al inches. Mr.. Arnold is confident that he

and he has never failed to succeed in undertakings
