Mr. Day, Daguerrean Artist, is now opening rooms over the Telegraph office, for the purpose of taking Daguerreotype Likenesses.  We would state for the information of our readers that we have seen some of his specimens and pronounce them to be the real genuine article.  Ladies and Gentlemen are invited to call and examine, and if they don’t say that it is a “leetle the nicest” of anything they have seen it shall be our treat.
