For Christmas and New-Years.  The Best And Most Desirable Presents For The Holidays.—There can be no more delicate or appropriate present from friend to frend, or one more highly valued, than a good Daguerreotype Likeness,  These may be had, neatly put up, in rich gilt cases, and Gold Lockets, and of all sizes and styles, at Ives’ Celebrated Gallery.

As we have, during our stay here of nearly three years completely distanced all competition in the quality of our Pictures, we trust we shall not only be able to maintain our present advance, but even to increase it.  We always possess ourselves of every new discovery in the art immediately on its becoming known, and things that some are attempting to palm off on the public as new, we have been acquainted with for months.

Having recently effected an arrangement of light, by which all the good qualities of both a sky and side light are obtained without the defects of either, we are able to get Pictures which good judges pronounce to be fully equal to those taken in any place.

Please give us a call, ladies and gentlemen; we shall be happy to see you, even if you only wish to examine specimens.  Ezra Ives.

Ives’ Daguerreotype Rooms.—The improvements which are almost daily making in the Daguerreotyping Art are well worthy of note.  A couple of portraits of citizens of Norwich, just taken by Mr. Ives, (whose Card will be found in another column,) were shown us the other day; and we do not hesitate to pronounce them of the very highest style of the beautiful art.  Any of our readers desirous of employing the services of a Daguerreotypist need not go to New York or Boston.  By calling upon Mr. Ives they can insure themselves perfect portraits.
