VIEW OF BALLYSHANNON, CO. DONEGAL.- The above picture sketches the ancient town of Ballyshannon, on the Erne, from a different point of view to that presented in another place, and gives, we think, a very faithful idea of its general aspect. While the olden town rises in stately fashion beyond the rapid river, the omnipresent donkey and cart appear in the foreground, while, on the left, the upper section of a cow shows from among the rocks, and behind stands a man, with a brood mare and foal, or "colt," as we call it in America, the latter evidently bent practically on obtaining luncheon from its gentle dam.
