Hca1eyss Portrait Of Gov Yates.
Mr. Healey has inst completed aportrait Of
Gov. Yates, with which 1t ts said he intendsto
adorn the wills Of his own private gallery,
which, however, is always open to the public.
II is one Of the very best paintings we hare
yet seen by this artist. As likeness, It is
perfect, and as work Of n.t, It is equal, If not
superior, to my In his gallery. It's, perhaps,
little too panty, but even OF this We arenot
sure, as we saw it IN a bad light at the wrong
time Of day. Whether The Governor would
have appeared to more advantage If he had
been In an undress, rather than dress cont,
is question which concerns taste, however,
and not the artist. Picture lovers should see
it without delay.

the fire to that one building. Some 10000
feet Of lumber were destroyed, md the build
