And Put the Davis Dry Dock Out of Commission For Another Three Weeks or More. The Davis dry dock is again out of commission. On Friday afternoon it was undermined by the- water for the second time within a month, after having been in use a week. The dock had taken three weeks to repair be- fore, and now it is likely. to take as long as that to repair it the second time. The first time the water wore away the foundation under the ates, and flooded the dock. coffer dam was built and the dock worked well again. It seems, however, that under the clay there is a sand bed, and the water working down into the clay broken by the spileg, soon reached the sand bed and attacked the gates again. The company has not decided yet what me- thod to adopt in the repair. Concrete may be used. -- ,Steam Yacht Sank.

On Friday evening she was tak- en out, and something going wrong with her steering gear, she ran into the new pier built by Daniel Reeves.

Kin_ston, July 31.--(To the Editcr): In the Thursday edition of your es- teemed and n:uch-read paper, appear- ed an article referring to the recent mayors' portraits as "daubs." Being one of the artists responsible for some of that work, 1 am compelled to take exception to the statement, pot any more on my own account than that of Mr. Cutts, who did the greater number of the portraits. "Daub" means many things, but we take it, in this instance, relative to the application of the impasto. Cer- tainly the life-likeness of nearly all the modern portraits is above re- proach. : It .is conceded by all art students and critics that the glossy smooth- ness of surface is no evidence of ex- cellence. There is certainly nothing in art so delightful to the cultivated as the true, strong, brilliant technique of modern ~ work "as opposed to the smooth, laborious, microscopic execu- tion of the "old way," where each hair had ita number, and cach eye lash its place, where the poorly moulded hands are monotonously dis- turbed in each bust portrait, .and worked to a pattern regardless of the character. of the sitter, where the fea- tures are smoothed and over-wrought till animation is conspicuous by its total absence. . Notwithstanding yor r critic's ab- normal appreciation. the old poriraits aro much more admired by old-time observers. They are a source of curi- osity ard never-failing humor to mo- dern -well informed art lovers.--H. C. HALLE. Were Highly Pleased.

John Nicholson, of Sunbury, Suicided on Friday Afternoon --He Was Evidently Prostrat- ed By Heat. py On Friday evening about six o'clock, thosbody of John Nicholson, Sunbury, was found hanging to a tree back of his house, by his youngest son. The finding of the dead body of his father was a terrible. shock to the young man, as his father Lad been ia excellent health and had not a care or worry in the world, to cause him to end his existence in such a way. Un Friday morning, Mr. Nicholson took the milk to the cheese factory, and did some work around the farm. He ate a hearty dinner in the middle of the day and seemed as wcll as usual. When his son, the only one at home, lft after dinner to work in a potato field a few rods" from the house, his father was out in the vara feeding the pins. Shortly after this he came back to the house and smid he was going over to see a nephew, and he never returned. He went out to the grove a short distance behind his re- sidenco and hung himself to a tree with a piece of rope. When his ne phew was returning to the house with the cows, between five and six, he passpd near the scene of the suicide, but did 'not notice the bady, and it was discovered by the son a few min- utes after. He lost no time in cutting the rope and releasing the body, but all signs of life had fled. Dr. A. E. Ross, of Kingston, was summoned, and decided that an in- quest was unnecessary. He said that the man with heat, and becoming prostrated might be liable to commit the rash act when in such a condition. The entire community was shocked to hear of . the occurrence, as Mr. Nicholdon was one of their oldest and a in Sunbury for many years, where he made many strong friends.
