We have on exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps «f every variety, including the

BEAUTIFUL PIT) - SNAMZL

he most beaatiful style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu ar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- eure so bere.

Though the finish of our Photographs eannot be excelled, we would direct atten- tion to the beautital

Glace’ Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, sud will retain their freshness aud beauty for any length of time, If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet, ‘This valuadle quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their productio#will prevent thein ever becoming so common as to Jessen their value. Our patrons can have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtain d elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Families, Societies, schools, &c

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our FNLARGEMENTS, fivished in India Ink, Pastel, Crzeyon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advautage to sit early, as the number of our cu ‘tomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment.

Photographs can be obtaived for less money elsewhere , but in (his case We ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring tae public that they will fad our charges very moderate.

A FAREWELL.

(William Cullen Bryant in the Independent. )

O thou, whose cherished image seems

A portion of my heart,

Whose eyes of light make glad my dreams, Farewell, for now we part.

The sail is swelling in the bay

That bears me on my distant way,

For years to roam the weary sea—

For years—and think of only thee.

Yet will that beauteous image make That dreary sea less drear,

And thy remembered smile will wake The hope that tramples fear.

When f shall face the tempests wrath, Or struggle through the dangerous path Where the blue icebergs, vast’ and steep, Drifting and dashing, crowd the deep.

Then, too, when heaven with clouds is dark And wild winds sweep the vale,

Wilt thou not think of him whose barque Strives with the polar gale ?

Wilt thou not think, and softly pray

For the sea wanderer far away,

That, all his trials and perils o’er,

His hands may clasp thy hand once more?

But shouldst thou hear no more of me,

Or hear that I have died

Aud sleep within that icy sea,

Or on its desert side.

Will not a pang thy bosom press.

Even in thy tide ot loveliness —

A tear in thy sweet eyelids shine

For him whose latest thoughts were thine?

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Dear Str,--When the old Rink was first started, a large number of persons grumbled,

and not without cause, at the high price of the tickets; and the Directors of that institu- tion paid reasonable attention to the complaints of the citizens and arranged the prices on a graduated scale, so that large families could go to the Rink at fair terms. Had the Directors of that Rink paid equal attention to its good keeping and order, although situated in a dark locality and attended with other disadvantag- es, it might still have been a flourishing and paying institution. No doubt its fali was greatly accelerated by the clamoring jealousy of afew persons who were not Directors and who thought they were born to rise to great- ness and distinction in the management of lo- cal affairs, and the summit of their ambition was to be director of a skating rink. ‘To be @ Director in the late Hillsboro’ Boat Club Ke- gatta was but a stepping-stone to higher hon- ors, and, judg;ng from the complete success that attended that effort and the brilliant series of letters explanatory of its able management— which gave us quite a notoriety in the adjoin- ing Provinces—the Directors of that ofiice were equally competent to go up higher and take control of a citizens’ skat- ing rink, which would, no _ doubt, more fully develop all their still latcat faculties. At all events if the Regatta affair did not prove a success financially, it helped to lift the tub of a literary light which but for it might have remained in obscurity for ever.

We have now the Citizens’ Skating Rink in full blast, and, without doubt, som: of tue aforesaid experienced directors at the head of affairs, and 1 assert that its management last season towards its close was no better than the old Rink im its very worst time. Young men, who aught to know better, racing round and round hke so many Baccanalians,

upsetting and jostling women regardiess of the terror in the faces of the Jadies and the re-

monstrances of the quiet skaters. The direc-

iors were spoken to witd little effect. I hope tor the sake of the ladies the rules will be more strictly adhered to this season, that is if

the price of the tickets will allow any one

(except the aforesaid directors, their families

aud relations) to attend. The prices are

monstrously high. Rinks are going down

everywhere else, and here, evidentiy, the

great attraction is the high rate of the ticketa,

which will certainly have che elfectot keeping it

very select, as only the plutocracy can aiford

to go. Last year twenty-five cents was con-

sidered a fair charge for admission to anybody

who was not a season ticket holder; and the

aforesaid directors declared a dividend of over 20 per cent. Now they charge fifty cents. No doubt the directors intend to give up their

other business and devote all their attention to,

and live on the profits of the Rink, as they

have bought up all the shares among them-

selves. | am sorry the Rink is so well managed;

for my family, tho’ as fond of skating as their richer neighbors, are utterly excluded from the benejits of the Rink this season.

Yours, &c., FaTuer OF Farr DAUGHTERS.

The Hast Indian Government.

The Nizam of Hyderabad is aruler of one of the native states of India under British pro- tection. His subjects are 9,009,090 in number, His territory is as large as the Kingdom of Italy. The present Nizam is a minor, and du- ring his miuority the government is vested in a regency, at the head of which is Sir Salar Jung, a native gentlemen of considerable ability, who visited England last year, and upon whom has been canferred the Grand Cross of the Star of India. With this gentle. man the General Government at Calentta has managed to get into a quarrel, which has been perpetuated and aggravated by a variety of annoying and petty acts, which no man

of spirit would brook — if he could help himself. Sir Salar is a man of much influence, and some time ago,

when his co-regent died, he asked the Indian Government not to fill the vacancy with a particular person whom he named, as with that gentleman he was not on good terms. His appeal was of no avail and the obnoxious per- son was appointed. Then he had another cause of dispute about territory, and, having beaten the Government in argument, he was abruptly told to ‘‘shut up.” He was so ag- grieved at this that when in England he got Lord Salisbury’s permission to open up the question again, but the Indian office failed to notify Lord Lytton, and when Sir Salar did open it, he was snubbed worse than ever. The last movement appears to have been very absurd. Sir Salar Jung was notified by the Central Government that he must dismiss Mr. Oliphant, his private Secretary! and Mr, Oliphant has, in consequence, left Hyderabad.

A few days ago the town of Cabinte, in the southern portion of California, was raided by a party of Mexicans and native Californians. A number of horses and a lot of fprovisions, dry goods and some money were taken, also a number of horses from Bakerstield. Some days after five were captured in the Tenjone fmoun- tains and taken to Bakersfield. The next night a body of men, embracing a number of the best eitizens of Bakersfield, forced their way into the jail and took the prisoners inte the district court room, empanelled a jury, trie] and convicted them and hung them in the jail yard. The coroner's jury found a verdict that they were hung by parties unknown.

A Scotch sailor who arrived at this port some time ago found employment with a farm- _er in the country. He was sent to harness the | horse, but soon returned, exclaiming, ‘‘ Ae ;man! but I canna put the claes on the beasty !”’
