spot, by MIR. SEVERN, "a Photographic artist de
tailed for the duty and they were carried to his
establishment on Fort street. By an unfortunate
act OF tDOuBuIeSSneSS the DOA was opened IN
strong light, when it should have been opened in

More plates are expected by the next hiHGH and
the prospects are that the darkness in which they
will be opened will equal in character the regions
