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.
