Among our very extended notices of stores at which Christmas presents may moHt advantageously be obtained, Ve omitted to mention the following: H. F. Itelmer, Photographer, None can deny that the invention of the art of photography has proved one of the most useful and beneficial blessings to humanity. By the use of this art, those far from home and from near and dear friends, have but to open 'their albums, and as they turn the leaves, each fcuccessively will present eomc well-known face of by-gone days, and each in its turn will carry the tnouphts lar back into years of pleasant associations with friends. By this art, those who have long siuce passed awav have their faces and forms, their expressive, life-like coun tenances, to keeplbright their memory in' the thoughts of those living. But the great difficulty Is, where can our people have pictures taken that will not be blurred, ol color too dark or too light, and where they can be obtained in all sizes and variety of forms, and at moderate rates '! We can help them hore. Ceimer's gallery has long eDjoyed an enviable reputatiou auions other estublibhtneuts, both on account ot the highest style ot skill and art displayed in the pictures taken, and tho reason able prices asked. Pictures of all sizes, it should be remembered by tbe public, can be obtained atB. F. Relmer's gallery. No. 824 Arch street, which will saiisiy.

The latent sensation amongst Washington cor respondents is a report that Jacob Lowenthal, the Claim Agent, charged with immense forge ries ot bounty claims trnd Bnal-discharge papers, did not die of cholera, as reported, but taat bis deuth was feigned, to enable btm to escape from justice. At the time the charges wore made, Lowenlhai, who was in New Orleans, came to Washington and offered to give himself up for trial, but lue oner was declined, as thore was no proof against him in the departments hero. Shortly after, it was announced that he had died suddenly in the night of Asiatic cholera, and he was buried tbe next afternoon. The suddenness of the death and burial, coupled with the statement that the Second Auditor of the Treasury has made discoveries recently in dicating large frauds in connection with sol diers' bounties, has given rise to the report con cerning the feigned death of Lowenthal. Three of tbe leading physicians of Washing ton, Drs. Tbomis Miller, Dove, and Howard, however, certify, that Lowenthal died from Asiatic cholera, and his counsel, ex-Goveinor Ford, of Qhio, testifies to seeing LowentIil'a body in the coffin, as do others to whom Lowen thal was personally known.
