Just row we had an old ntlemau entitled The Old
Barn and cow, under the title Of "a Muleteer VIC

the side Of a uossgiown board fence The mullen is
unexceptionabe There is not a truer hit Of the ooun.

in his mutnery he paints this denizen of fal.
low felds much better than rocks and landscapes

CArFERTY, n A.-Mr. Cafferty is a very good por.
tisit pointer, and this is one Of his good heads.
No ll2 PORTRAIT OF ALADY-ALAssoS FISHER, A.
A very charming picture, and evidently good por-
trait Of Charming person The face is especially good
the drawing correct and the color good though with
such prepOnderance of black, required great skill
in tue artist, and knowledge of effect to create
pleasing and harmonious combination. Mr.. Fisher is
among the most promising of our portrait painters.
No. 1l3. THE BROOK AT IDLEwILD, RESIDENCE oF
n. 7. WHILST. A. RIcHARDs.-The catalogue
has contained 20 many misplaced titles that we have
the less b station in avovng disbelief in any such
brock as ihis at Idlewild. Idlewild being the
Hud,on, must have some nature about it, but this
terrific painting hasn't a bit.
No. ia. "IIAL"-H. PETERS GRAY, AIR.

KIss--We would ike to be informed what the motives
Of the Hanging Committee are in exhibiting such
work as this, which not only Injuries the unfortunate
artist but creates feeling in the spectator anything
but complimentary to the Academy
No. 1873 GIRL AND RABBITT-WM. NJ HpST.-
This is an example of the style adopted by Hunt
ried TO its extreme 1t would be difficult to conceive
of anything more thoroughly repulsive and disagree
able on canvas The girl does not look like girl,
the rabbit ike rabbit TIE picture looks as though
it were in the last stages Of decomposition 1t per
versely and dcsignedly bad-as bad thing as a man
Of talent could possibly accomplish with his brush.
Mr. Hunt ought to be impeached in the high court OF
ant for debasipg his genius
No. l24. ROBERT KELLY--D. HUNTINGTON, N. A
Mr. Huntington never appears to better advantage
than in his male port ats, and this of Mr. Kelly de-
serves to be ranked among his best efforts.
No. 1875. FRAScoNIA MoUNTAINs--,J. +. KEssETT,
n All ere are parts of this large picture which will
compare favoraby with the best landscapes in this Ex
hbtion. Its merits many and papable, but either
from its not being viewed at the right dstance or not
being placed in the proper light, it lacks unity OF tone
and design Parts of it appear to have been pointed
at wide intervals and not to belong to the same period
1t is not like single view, but good msny views;
composition made up of variety of studies, and
spread over too large canvas to be tgether in
one woof
