Daguerreotypes, That are Daguerreotypes.  It is an acknowledged fact, that Cooley’s Daguerrian Gallery is a little ahead of all others in this country, and it is so admitted by Artists and the traveling public.  No pains or expense have been spared in fitting-up this establishment, and the arrangement of rooms, sky-light and extensive apparatus cannot be improved.  The sky-light was built expressly for the business after a design by one of the best Architects in the country, and pictures taken under this light cannot be surpassed for the fine and beautiful effect of light and shade, and the life-like expression of the eyes.

O. H. Cooley & Co. Have the honor of announcing to the public, that they have secured the services of Mr. A. Litch, formerly of the firm of Litch & Whipple, Boston, one of the oldest, most experienced, and successful operators in this country, and they are now prepared to give their patrons pictures that cannot be excelled in this place, or any of the larger cities in those qualities that make a good Daguerreotype.  Mr. L. has operated at some of the best establishments in Boston, New York and Philadelphia, and we can commend him to the public for his gentlemanly demeanor as well as for his qualities as a scientific Artist.

O. H. C. & Co. Have obtained in addition to their other apparatus a new instrument expressly for taking Children’s pictures, which requires only a sitting of a few seconds.

They would return thanks for the liberal patronage which has been bestowed upon their establishment, and hope, by unceasing endeavors to please, to merit a continuance of the patronage of a generous public.

Just received, a new lot of Daguerreotype materials, among which we have White’s Scovill’s and the “Star” and Phenix” brands of French Plates, and all other kinds in use.  New and beautiful patterns of Cases, Lockets of all kinds and every variety of Settings, and in fact everything used in the Art can be found at our Sales Room where Prof Atwater will be in attendance.

…N. B.—Mr. Litch being a practical Chemist, would inform those who wish to use his Chemical preparations that they can be obtained at the Sales Room of O. H. C. & CO.

Now Is The Time, O. H. Cooley, at the Hampden Daguerrian Gallery, with the most extensive apparatus, best of stock, and the aid of a scientific operator, and Prof. Atwater—last, though not least in putting the finish to a picture—can assure the public that he never was producing better pictures than at the present time.

Foot’s Block is the place, and now is the time, to obtain those inimitable Sky-light Daguerreotypes—delays are dangerous.  He keeps constantly on hand and for sale, the largest assortment of Lockets, and Daguerreotype Stock of every description, to be found in Western Massachusetts.

Cooley’s Gallery was visited one day last week by Mr. Collamer, Postmaster General, and an admirable likeness of him was taken by Mr. Litch, which will add to the attractions already presernted of Cooley’s large collection of portraits of distinguished men.  It takes Professor Atwater to induce public men to visit Cooley’s magnificent rooms, who, if not known long to the public, his short acquaintance is very pleasing to the ladies and professional men.—Com.

Wood, who has been so eminent in the above named establishment for the past year, and who brings to the aid of the Art a very comprehensive mechanical genius; have formed a collation for the purpose of an itinerant Picture Business, for a short time, during the dull season in the city.

We now offer to the citizens of this place and vicinity, advantages, for getting Pictures of a quality decidedly superior.  We have with us our Best Instruments, which were brought without regard to cost, and are entirely above [ ? ] with the instrument, generally used in small towns.  That those who do not know us by reputation may have some proof that we understand our business, we have with us some of our specimens, among which are several full size—Pictures of Jenny Lind and Husband, President Fillmore and Cabinet, &c., &c.

We now extend an invitation to all to call and see us—see our Specimens—see our Instruments—see our [manner] of doing business—and if you find us to be what we claim to be, then our advice to you is, have your Daguerreotypes taken!  Have a good one—(for a poor one [cannot] be copied if your friend dies,)—we say, have a good one of each member of the family, while you have them with you.  Life and health are uncertain.  The instances are [too numerous] in which we have been called out of our Rooms to take Corpse Pictures; which besides being [attention] with great expense to friends, are very unsatisfactory at best.  But the fact shows how much all think of retaining in their memory the features of departed friends.  It is not necessary that you set apart a whole day for this business with us.  We will not detain you more than 30 or 40 minutes, and we warrant every picture to give perfect satisfaction, or it will be taken over, free of charge.

Being largely engaged in the Daguerrian Stock business, we have been with us the Largest Assortment of Frames and Cases and find Gold Lockets ever exhibited in this place.  We offer to you rare opportunities, but remember, they are only for a short time.  When business revives in the City, we shall leave at some unexpected moment.  Rooms in the Court House.  R. B. Appleby. S. Wood.  Penn Yan, August 24, 1852.

Rochester Daguerreotypes in Geneva.  R. P. Appleby of the city of Rochester, at the solicitation of friends, has consented to stop for a very short time in Geneva, to serve the public with Daguerreotypes of superior quality.  He has rented the Daguerrean Rooms of John F. Greene, temporarily, where specimens of his style of work can be seen, and where he will be happy to wait in those wishing his services in this beautiful and wonderful Art.  With the aid of all the Late and Important Improvements, added to extensive experience, he is confident he offers to the inhabitants of Geneva and surrounding country, opportunities superior to any ever before offered in this village.  Particular attention is invited to Daguerreotypes of Large Size, which he produces in the greatest degree of perfection.  This is a rare chance, one that is not likely again soon occur.

But it is vain to multiply words, it would be far better to call and see if these things are so.  Let it be distinctly understood and borne in mind, that this opportunity will not be long extender, as it is only until the spring trade opens that our services can be dispensed with in the City.

All work Warranted to give Satisfaction.  R. B. Appleby.  March 11, 1854.

From our special correspondent, Washington, May 12, 1844….

Mr. Clay will leave for his home tomorrow, probably.  He is in excellent health and spirits; a most beautiful Daguerreotype likeness has just been taken of him by young Mr. Edwards, for his great “National Miniature Gallery.”

By-the-bye, let me say a word or two, en passant, about this splendid Gallery.  I have been watching the progress made all the winter by two young men, Messrs. Edwards and Warner, (of the firm of Anthony, Edwards & Co.) in taking likenesses of all the great public characters resident in and visiting Washington.  This has been done to form a great National Gallery; and it is indeed a Gallery worthy of the name.  Go yourself, and tell your readers to go, over to this Gallery in Broadway, near the American Hotel, (whither these portraits are all sent weekly,) and feast their eyes.  I see frequent advertisements of Daguerrean Galleries, &c. &c. which are collections of likenesses of any body that happen to be left on the hands of the Artists, but here we have the real material of a National Gallery.  Messrs. Anthony, Edwards & Co. have in their collection accurate Daguerreotypes of several hundred persons whose names are part of their Country’s History, and are continually increasing the number.  Mr. Edwards has been passing the winter here and will remain until the adjoinment for this purpose, so as to make the collection in New York as complete as possible.  Appended to the likeness is the autograph of each individual, thus increasing the interest.  This is the only Gallery of the kind in the country, and as it cost nothing, should be seen by every one in New York and here.  The only remuneration expected by these gentlemen for their great outlay of time and expanse is the increased patronage of those who desire their own likenesses, and I am sure their modest request will be appreciated.  I have examined the collection of all those who are eminent in this line of the country, and unhesitatingly pronounce their Miniatures to be unrivaled in execution, in accuracy, and in scenic effect, and many distinguished foreigners here have stated that there is nothing superior, if equal to them in Europe.  The improvements in this art made by them this winter are astonishing, giving as they do all the strength and color of a painting with the fidelity of Nature itself.  As you always love to foster modest merit, and undoubted talent, I commend the Gallery to your critical attention.

[From the N. O. True Delta, April 24.]  A Woman’s Revenge.  Almost A Second Burdell Affair.  St Charles street, in the aristocratic and fashionable neighborhood of Canal, is becoming famous for scenes of startling importance.… (Mrs. Mary Jane Charles) wielded the dagger, James Andrews, the daguerreotypist being the victim.

From the best information we could obtain, we learn that Mrs. Mary Jane Charles lives, and has lived for some time past, in a large and elegant establishment at No. 269 Common street, where she rents furnished rooms.  She is a widow, and has been for some time; is about 30 years of age, beautiful, highly accomplished and fascinating in her manners.  Andrews is a young artist of lofty aspirations and Byronic exterior; and as he, some two years ago, took rooms at the establishment of the fascinating widow, it may, without any stretch of imagination, be supposed that a unity of sentiment soon sprung up between two such congenial spirits.  They loved, but did not get married.  They progressed on the mutual confidence plan for nearly two years, when their honeymoon began to wane, or perhaps became obscured by the overshadowing influence of the comet which is now whisking his ponderous tail over our planet, killing the early blossoms, and destroying not only the fruit crop throughout the Union, but also the sugar crop of our beloved Louisiana.

Andrews abandoned the idea, gave up all thoughts of reaching the round of the artistic ladder, when his admiring countrymen would concede to him the unquestioned right of wearing the unappropriated mantle of a Michel Angelo or a Rubens.  He became practical.  The charming widow was flush of the “sordid lucre,” and, with true Jacksonian energy and will, he laid his plans for a transfer of the deposits, which he soon accomplished, and instead of erecting a villa on the banks of the Lake of Como with the widow’s funds, he established two daguerreotype saloons—one at No. 3 St. Charles street, and the other at No. 10, a few doors from the True Delta establishment. This was not all—the cup of the charming widow’s misery was not yet full—the last drop that overflows the golden goblet, like the last ounce that breaks the camel’s back, was poured in when the unfaithful Andrews deserted her, which he did a short time ago, and married a Miss. Hoffner.

We have now stated the case as it was yesterday morning, and will give the sequel in as few words as possible.

Mrs. Charles, it seems, made up her mind to wreak her vengeance on her faithless swain by assaulting him, and then end life’s troubles by killing herself.  She procured a beautiful pearl handled dagger, we believe at Guion’s , and crossed the street towards the entrance of No. 3 St. Charles street, intending to reach the daguerrean saloon of Andrews and strike him while in the act of transferring the features of some fair one to the metallic plate.  She met him on the sidewalk, and as quick as thought the glistening blade had pierced his neck. As he turned and reeled she inflicted two more wounds on his left arm, and before the by-standers that thronged the sidewalk at the time could interfere, she gave him another stab in the thigh, when the dagger dropped from her hand.  With the utmost coolness she then forced her way through the crowd, no one in  it attempting to interfere with her, and proceeded to a carriage in waiting at the next corner, and was driven rapidly to her home, No. 269 Common street.

At a late hour last night Andrews was still living and Mrs. Charles was at her home, no arrest or legal investigation that we could hear of having taken place.
