Prof. Gegoux's Latest Accomplishment
The portrait exhibited by Prof. Gegoux in Hanford & Waterman's show window was crayoned under very peculiar circumstances. The picture is a correct likeness of the Widow of the late J. Griswold of Adams, and the daughter of the Hon. Nathan Strong, of Rodman, and was made by the Professor without any copy whatever. Mr. G. had photographs of the lady's near relatives and by a description of her peculiar traits, her ideas, her ways and moods, he drew a correct, portrait of her, and the picture is said to be so perfect that it can be instantly recognized by even casual acquaintances. The phenomenal artist has received a long letter from a relative of the lady who closes with the following remarks
"You have by this accomplishment manifested just where your genius comes in your ability to seize from language alone the characteristics of any person never seen and give them expression in such a way that the tout ensemble should be recognized by even casual acquaintances. This is the point your friend must amplify if you wish to reap the full benefit of your labor. As for the part I have had in the work, whatever is necessary to make your own clear and intelligible to the public, you are free to make use of. I place no restrictions, the laurels are yours." (E. M. G. in Watertown Times)
Prof. Gegoux will be in town on Saturday next and will return in the evening.

The residence of A. C. Boshart , of this village, was the scene of unusual gaiety, last Friday evening. The occasion was the annual Christmas reunion of the Boshart families. At an early hour the guests began to assemble, and before seven P.M. the parlors were filled with a large and merry party. At that hour a collation was served, after which the heavily laden tree, which had previously been commented upon for its beauty, was divested of its burden. All were generously remembered with presents, and fun was current during there distribution, owing to the fact that Mr. Wm. Boshart was not found wanting with a witty remark when the occasion required. Some of the gifts were of great value, diamonds and other elegant jewelry being bestowed upon several present. The festivities continued until a late hour and all pronounced the reunion of 1881 one long to be remembered. To the regret of Mr. John G. Moshier the beautifully executed and life like portrait of his deceased grandson , which was ordered as a Christmas present for his daughter, Mrs. A. C. Boshart, did not arrive until the following evening. All who have seen it pronounce it one of Prof. Gegoux's finest pictures.
