The following letter from d. Z. p.
Ilibbs, of Albert Lea. Mimi. was re-
ceived by me a few days ago, aud is
self-ex planatory. Will you kindly
give it "a place in your columns. and
thus. perhaps, assist in discovering the
owner of what seems TO be a very
valuable and, no doubt, cherished piece
of art work? If the Madison parish
and Lake Providence papers will also
give it publication, that will doubtless
facilitate the desired end. And should
this perchance come under the eye of
the owner or the descendants of this
picture. and they will furnish me the
evidence of their identity. it will give
me pleasure TO bring about its restora-
zion to them. Respectfully.
