Daguerreotyping.—Great perfection has been attained in this art, and Mr. Dewey, over Allen’s store, is perfect master of it.  His pictures are speaking likenesses, and cannot be surpassed.  He is the most successful copier of children’s faces that has ever visited us.

The Hollidays are Coming, And the prettiest present you possibly can have is a nice Daguerreotype, and Dewey’s is the place to get them, good and cheap.  Call upon him soon, as he intends remaining but a short time.  His rooms are over E. Allen’s Variety Store—his hours, from 8 to 4.

Advertisement ran from October 31 to November 21, 1850.

We see an original letter of Jefferson’s in the Home Journal, never before published, acknowledging the receipt of a portrait.  His felicitous criticism of the artist’s work will strike the reader as being peculiarly happy—especially if that reader has paid a visit to Dewey’s Daguerrian Gallery, over Mr. Allen’s store.  Did you ever see a speaking shadow?  You can almost see one there.  Then “secure the shadow ere the substance fades,” and before Mr. Dewey leaves town.

Last week was one of considerable interest to the people of this community; the different exciting trials in our Courts kept the room constantly thronged by an anxious crowd, feasting on murder, theft, assault and battery, &c., and crim. con. in anticipation.  But, in despite of all these exciting topics. A regular run was still kept upon Dewey, who was busy the whole week copying the faces of the people, old and young. Lean and fat, handsome and ugly.  Such an artist we have never had before, and never may have again; those, therefore, who would have an exact and finished likeness of themselves, their children or their friends, must attend to it immediately, as this is the last week of his stay amongst us.

In this democratic country of ours the people will rule, and so they have obliged Mr. Dewey to prolong his stay the remainder of the week.  We are pleased to see that his merits are properly appreciated here, and advise all our friends who desire a finished picture to call upon him immediately.  They may never have such another opportunity, for Mr. Dewey is nowhere excelled in this art, and such artists but seldom visit the country.
