AN HISTORICAL PAINTING,

To the Editor of ate Neacs.
 The arrival, to remain permanently in our vicinity, of Hon. Robbins Battells' painting of John Brown, mentioned by your Norfolk correspondent, is an event of unusual interest to our lovers of art
 It IS picture of great historical va ue which will be enhanced as years roll by. It represents the grand old hero de- soending the steps of the jail, on his way to the gallows, ad kissing the lit tie negroschild, which Its mother holds up to him. Around him and back in the doorway stand the sheriff and others. The military escort with fixed bayonets is drawn up on each side in front, and grouped about, on both sides, are the negroes, looking on with sad sympa- thy. Among these last, perhaps par ticulariy noticeable, Is the figure of a women, standing back against the jail wall, her face and eyes raised with a stern, prophetical expression, as though she saw how soon the apparently useless sacrifice of this fearless old m n was to be followed by the proclamation of the president of the United States abolish ing the accursed institution of slavery
 We are informed that Mir Battell caused the artist to gather his material for this painting on the spot, and that the faces are all local types.

 MT George Du Bois of New York spent Sunday with Rev E. S. Porter.
 Frank Richey of New York was in town few days since.
 Mrs Minnie Haskins and Miss Ella Brigner of Falls Village are visiting at R. Lees.
 The week of prayer is observed here by meetings in the chapel every evening.
 Two ladies united with the Congre- gational church at the communion last Sunday-one by letter. Darkness, mist, mud and rain prevented many from at- tending the evening services.
 The house of John Slosson caught fire last Saturday from some defect in the arrangement of stove-pipe, but the flames were discovered and extin- guished before any serious damage was done.
 Snow and ice seem to be entirely out of fashion this season, so of course We have none here, but our streets and walks are beautifully filled in with the latest style of mud.
 Representative J. F. Gibbs takes a trip to Hartford this week, there to as- sume the burden of official duties. B. G. Grithan of Warren will take charge of Mir Gibbs business during his ab- sence this winter.
 The Christmas festival at the Congre- gational church on Tuesday evening, December 29, proved very pleasing and satisfactory entertainment The exercises were we'll conducted. The music, consisting of carols, solos and quartettes, was all we'll rendered and deserving of praise. The march of the schools, to the sound of organ and cor net, into the parlors and partaking of the bounteous feast prepared for all, was pleasant part of the program. The-but Christmas festivities in other places have been well described in the columns of the NEWS, and further re- port of this particular entertainment is unnecessary, only adding that it was an occasion thoroughly enjoyed by all present.

ssElia,' and Charles lamb.

A unique genius, that of Charles Lamb. Just like nothing that ever ap- peared before them, or has since ap- peared, are the quaint and delightful Essays of Ella, new edition of which has recently been issued by Alden, "The Literary Revolution" publisher of New York. Turn to any of your cyclopedias and they will tell you that Charles Lamb was one of the most charming essayist that the English language has ever known, and also that his ''Essays of Ella" are the choicest of his works. They are not merely the first work of their class, but, like ''Pilgrim's Progress" and Robinson Crusoe," they consti- tute class by themselves. The vol tune is certainly one of the most delight full of the books described in Mir Alden 8 148 page illustrated catalogue, which he offers to send for 1 cents, or the 16 page catalogue which is sent free Address, John B.
