The Stereoscope gives, by far, the most perfect likeness that has ever yet been obtained by any other mode, and is seen with no less astonishment than delight. Every feature of the face, and every portion of drapery, &c., stand out in such bold relief, that we are almost persuaded, when viewing these wonderful pictures, that we are looking at the original instead of a mere likeness.
Connoisseurs and lovers of art have only to see these magic pictures, to be convinced of their intrinsic merit.
If you want a fac simile of yourself, come to Havens’ Gallery, and get one of his splendid Sky Light Stereoscopes.

Phew! How tired a fellow feels! How sleepy I am, to be sure! I kinder sorter calculate “Old Rip” has had a nap broken during the past days of festivity, jollity, sunshine, rain and mud. Beg pardon for yawning in company; but it would have required a small patent jaw-breaker, to have restrained me from gaping in my present condition of somniferous oblivion. Speaking of “patents” puts one in mind of the “Fair”—not a “Patent Fair”—but of the “Masheens” that crowded the Fair Grounds. Wall yer see, as heow what particarly attracted my attention, was the “Floral Hall,” happy name that.—Makes us think of all kinds of flowers! Wall Flowers, and I guess yer deont oftent see many prettier wall flowers than was on exhibition by “Havens & Mallon.” Ay golly; but they were good! I laughed till I felt I was about to go off into a “hysterical decline” at one chap, who spoke to one of the “pictures,” thinking that one of the directors had got into a recess and was looking at him with sharp eyes. We scarce remember of ever having seen better likenesses—the eyes, the little curl of the lips, the construction of the brows, all were so minutely delineated by these inimitable daguerreans, that we do not blame the “chap” for speaking to any of them. Well I am mighty sorry I can’t keep my eyes open; but it is no go, so good-buy. Tempus Fuget Et Nos Run After It.

Phew! How tired a fellow feels! How sleepy I am, to be sure! I kinder sorter calculate “Old Rip” has had a nap broken during the past days of festivity, jollity, sunshine, rain and mud. Beg pardon for yawning in company; but it would have required a small patent jaw-breaker, to have restrained me from gaping in my present condition of somniferous oblivion. Speaking of “patents” puts one in mind of the “Fair”—not a “Patent Fair”—but of the “Masheens” that crowded the Fair Grounds. Wall yer see, as heow what particarly attracted my attention, was the “Floral Hall,” happy name that.—Makes us think of all kinds of flowers! Wall Flowers, and I guess yer deont oftent see many prettier wall flowers than was on exhibition by “Havens & Mallon.” Ay golly; but they were good! I laughed till I felt I was about to go off into a “hysterical decline” at one chap, who spoke to one of the “pictures,” thinking that one of the directors had got into a recess and was looking at him with sharp eyes. We scarce remember of ever having seen better likenesses—the eyes, the little curl of the lips, the construction of the brows, all were so minutely delineated by these inimitable daguerreans, that we do not blame the “chap” for speaking to any of them. Well I am mighty sorry I can’t keep my eyes open; but it is no go, so good-buy. Tempus Fuget Et Nos Run After It.
Holyday Presents.—Members of the Legislature and others in the city, contemplating a visit to their families and friends, duding the Christmas Holidays, could not carry home a more acceptable present than one of those beautiful life-like Ambrotypes taken at Haven & Mellon’s Gallery, sign of the flag, Fayetteville St.

North-Carolina Not Blind. We Have Received Some Very Fine photographic specimens executed by Messrs. Havens & Mallon, of Raleigh, N. C.

Are You Going Home! We regret To Learn That The General Assembly of North Carolina has determined to break up, and leave the City of Oaks in a few days more.

Cameotypes! Splendid Pictures!! Something New. Cameotypes the latest and greatest discovery of the age! Havens & Mallon, From Raleigh, N. C.
Would inform the Ladies and Gentlemen of Tarboro’ and vicinity, that they have taken Rooms at the Odd Fellows Hall, in Tarboro’, Where they are prepared to execute these beautiful Pictures in the highest style; the Cameotype is an invention of Mr. M. M. Mallon’s, and is all it is represented to be; they are more life-like as regards colors than any other style of Picture ever brought before the public, while at the same time they represent a stereoscopic effect, which can alone be equaled by the aid of a stereoscope, (yet no stereoscope is required;) while they are remarkably sharp and brilliant, giving a harmony in shade and tone which cannot be equaled by any other known process, and which no other artist can rival. We are also making Photographs and Ambrotypes, by the latest and most approved process. All persons wishing Pictures will do well to call soon, as our stay will be short, owing to other engagements.
N. B. Pictures taken in all kinds of weather in a few seconds, and put up in Lockets, Pins, Rings, or Cases to suit purchasers. H. & M. Tarboro’, March 12, 1857.
