(Conunuuicated.)
Mr. Alitor: I request of you the favor of insert
ing the following statement in your paper,ns it will
serve to put the public on their guard agonist sim
ilar outrages.
On Wcduesday night last, while I was quite un
well and confined to my room, some person entered
my Bar-room and took from the wall a painting,
which I value far beyond its real worth, from its
lwing the gift of a much esteemed friend now ab
sent it. a distant land
It was an Oil Painting representing an Oriental
>. Scene of a group of two or three persons in Turk
ish Costume in a reclining attitude, enclosed in n
plain stained wood frame. ....
As this is not the first time that similar depreda
tions have been committed, and as I think it very
ungenerous treatment towards otic who has always
used every exertion to please the public, 1 would
appeal to the generosity and sense of justice ol the
one who took away the picture, whether in jest or
otherwise, and request of him to leave it either at
iny house or where I can obtain it. If any one
should sec a picture answering to the above di.-crip
i tion, they would confer a very great I'avor on me
' by letting me know where the above can be found.
I cannot but believe tli.it should this meet the eye
? of the person, who took it away, that lie will act
| the part of a gentleman and ail honest man, and te
^ store what can be of little value to him, but which
I value very much; by so doing, he would lay me
under obligations to him for rendering me justice.
