Daguerreotype Miniatures.  A Card.  C. Collins and Co. would take this opportunity of rendering acknowledgement to the Ladies and Gentlemen of this village, for their liberal patronage, and also, of informing them and the public generally, that having made some new and important discoveries in their beautiful art by which the character of their miniatures is greatly improved, they have fitted up rooms in the court House, where they will be happy to receive their friends and all those who wish correct likenesses of themselves.  They think there is no necessity of praising their work or making comparisons with the work of others; all they ask is, that those who wish to see good Daguerreotype likenesses will just give them a call.

Advertisement ra from October 11 to 25, 1841.

Daguerreotype Miniatures.  We have been much pleased with some specimens of this kind of Likenesses taken in this village by Mr. J. Marsh.  The likeness is of course correct and the colours and shades are delicately arranged.  To those who wish to have their countenance placed before their eyes we cordially recommend Mr. Marsh as worthy of their patronage.

Mr. Collins, is also in this place taking this kind of likenesses, and we hear his work well spoke of but not having seen any specimen’s of his art, we are unqualified at present to express an opinion on his merits.
