Pictures.—J. M. Dow, Photographic and Daguerrean artist, Hopkins’ Block, is making extensive preparations to accommodate the public with pictures.  What more appropriate presents could be made to those you love, than your own pleasant physiognomy—everybody looks pleasant in a picture—during the Holidays.  Next to giving one’s self away, such a presentation would be most acceptable to most folks.  Talk about throwing yourself away, when somebody wants you done up in miniature, surrounded in a neat, little case, and Dow wants to take you for them.  Why, its all nonsense, and not to be thought of.  Go right down and get taken,.
