Fine Daguerreotypes.  Mr. C. H. Merrick, the Daguerrian artist is fitting up his rooms with a sky- light.  We are happy to observe that his talents are appreciated, as his crowded room seem to indicate.

Mr. M’s. appliances and means are ample, and his taste and experience insure good pictures.  We saw a specimen of the “magic background” at his rooms, one day last week, and we think it is the most beautiful we ever saw.  Those of our friends, who wish to obtain good pictures can not do better than to call on Mr. Merrick.
