We desire to call the attention of any of our readers who may be in want of a first rate daguerreotype likeness of themselves or their friends, to the establishment of Mr. Geo. Hardy, successor to that celebrated artist T. H. [sic.] Cathan[2], No. 20 Washington street, up stairs.  For correctness of expression, beauty of finish and delicacy of coloring, his pictures cannot be excelled by those of any artist in the city.  His prices, also, are exceedingly reasonable.

Daguerreotypes.—Spring has come, and those who are in want of a good and pleasing picture should secure it now, while they are free from the tan and and freckles are ever attendant on this season of the year.  And we would advise all our friends, who are in want of one to call on Mr. Hardy, 20 Washington street.  For softness of expression and beauty of finish, his pictures are excelled by none.
