p.4 An Attractive Painting - On exhibition in S. Lowe's store, Portsmouth, is a striking marine painting, the work of Capt. Pierce. The view portrayed is Portsmouth harbor, with the penitentiary wall, the front road and town hall, and the ship yard standing out prominently as borders. On the harbor appears Capt. Pierce's yacht under full canvas and bending low to a heavy breeze. The painting has been favorably criticized.
