Colored Photographs.—Some of the most exquisite specimens of this branch of the arts we have ever seen were executed at Jennings’ Gallery in this city.  The photographs were taken by Jennings, but they were colored by our well-known native artist, Mr. J. D. Crocker, We have never seen anything of the kind more beautiful.  A visit to Jennings’ Gallery will satisfy any one that we do not exaggerate, though we expect their best work is not allowed to remain in the gallery.
