Eureka!  Eureka!  Eureka!  Was the exclamation of Archimedes, rushing through the streets of Syracuse, o his discovery of the great principle of Natural Philosophy.—

The world was no less surprised and delighted when Daguerre by the aid f sun-light transferred to the surface of polished silver, the dim picture of landscapes and the Human Face and Form.

But science and skill have now brought Daguerre’s discovery to such a wonderful state of perfection, that it is now left for Moulton to announce to the World that we may no longer search for the most Life-Like perfection in the Daguerreotype Art—For he has—Found It!!  and is now producing at the Picture Gallery, formerly occupied by Mr. Thompson –Ayer’s Building, First Rooms south of Merrimack street,—which he has taken and spendidly (sic.) furnished with large additions to his former stock,—the Truest and most Perfect specimens of his Art that can be Found In The Country!!

This is not a vain boast; and he pledges himself to satisfy the most skeptical on this point Who will Give Him a Trial!

In addition to the above, he would inform the public that he has secured, at great cost, the services of that gentlemanly operator, Frank M. Danielson, formerly from the celebrated Rooms of Masury & Silsbee, in Boston, whose pictures in point of brilliancy, of tone and excellency of finish, cannot be excelled here or elsewhere.

Mr. M. would also state that he is operating by a Sky Light!

An advantage possessed by no other operator in this vicinity, which gives that uniform shade to the face of his subjects so much admired by all artists and persons of taste.

N. B.  Pictures taken equally well in Foul and Fair Weather.

All are invited to call and examine specimens.  Do Not mistake the place,—Ayer’s Building,—(The first Rooms south of Merrimack street,) where you will find The Daguerreotype Rooms of Manchester.  H. D. W. Moulton. Manchester Oct. 30.

Engraving of Judge Buel.—We have seen proof impression of an engraved Portrait of the late Judge Buel, by T. H. Cushman[1], from a painting of Mr. F. Fine[2].  It is an excellent and striking likeness.  The Artist, who are both Albanians, have in this effort displayed genius which give abundant promise of future usefulness and eminence.  He numerous friends of Judge Buel will appreciate their obligations to these young Artists for their fidelity in preserving the resemblance of a distinguished public benefactor.  A copy of this Portrait will be sent to each of the subscribers of the Cultivator.

Portrait Of The Late Judge Buel.  We have been favored with a proof impression of a portrait of the late Judge Buel, designed to grace the pages of the valuable agricultural paper to which he devoted the latter years of his useful life.  It is by Cushman, an artist of no ordinary cleverness, from Fink’s portrait, which is conceded to be both a good likeness and a capital effort of art.  The intellectual as well as personal characteristics of the original are well retained in the copy, which is in the best style of line engraving.  The simplicity and dignity of attitude and expression, which belonged tin his profession.  o the subject, and which evinced the benevolence and practical character of the man, are finely preserved.  To the numerous friends and acquaintances of the late Judge Buel, and to a public that appreciate the value of his labors, it is a desirable memento.

“The New Yorker”—The last number of the quarto edition of this valuable publication is accompanied by a beautiful vignette engraven on steel, representing “the outlet of Lake George,” designed as a frontispiece for the 8th volume.  The engraving is skillfully executed by Mr. T. H. Cushman of this city whose talents and attainments as an artist cannot fail to elevate him to a high rank in his profession.  The subject has been happily selected from a picture in the possession of Mr. James Horner of this city, painted by J. C. Ward, one of natur’’s most accomplished limners.

Daguerreotype Miniatures.—Those who have not been witness to the fact, will be surprised attendance  the facility and accuracy with which miniature likenesses are produced by the Daguerreotype process, under the superintendence of Mr. Thomas H. Cushman, at No. 1, 4th floor, Exchange building.  To those who are desirous of possessing a correct copy of their own features, or those of a friend, at a small outlay of time and money, the discovery is invaluable; since a person is thereby enabled to leave the room in five minutes after his entry, with an unflattered likeness in his pocket—(the medium though which it is taken being like the finding  of a great jury, in legal contemplation, “uninfluenced by fear, favor or hope of reward,”) and that too at a cost not incompatible with the most moderate circumstances.  It may not be amiss to add that under recent improvements, the miniatures are taken in the ordinary light, and of course, without the painful sensations heretofore incident to bringing the rays of the sun into direct contact with the eyes.
