Daguerreotypes.—We saw last Saturday some quite super daguerreotype pictures taken by Bostwick & Burgess, who have recently located themselves in those magnificent daguerreotype rooms opposite the Hampden House.  These new comers have many advantages in experience, taste and apparatus, and present strong claims for a share of public patronage in their line.

Daguerreotypes.   Bostwick & Burgess, Daguerreians from New York, have purchased the entire establishment of Messrs. Fuller & Co., on Main Street, opposite the Hampden House, and are now prepared to take Likenesses by this beautiful art in a style infinitely superior to any ever before offered in this town.  The principal operator, Mr. Burgess, having been established in New York nine years, and engaged in the chemical department of this art, flatters himself that all who will favor him with a call shall “see themselves as others see them.”

Daguerreotypes taken in all the various styles, from the smallest to the largest, and at prices to suit all.  Likenesses of Children and Infants taken in three or four seconds with an apparatus constructed expressly for the purpose.

Hours of operating from 8 A. M. until sundown.  Cloudy weather preferable except for children—whose hours must be between 10 o’clock, A. M., and 2 P. M.  Citizens will please call and examine specimens.  W. E. Bostwick & S. G. Burgess, Daguerreian Rooms, Main Street, opposite the Hampden House
