DESTROYS OF dlsposng OF it, lOr various valid busl
ness reasons and knowing the great worth of
the property, and wishing TO be compensated
for parting with it, he instituted gltt enter
prise which, for ITS enormity and security, is
unparalleled by any thing OF the KIND ever before
attempted. To give the tnlng extensive popu-
larty, he added to the list OF his prizes some of
the most noted and elegant paintings that have
ever been produced by American artists, and
which have already attained reputation
throughout the whole country and In Europe,
for their superior iuish and originality OF treat

unexampled popularity tor the Association.
There is a large number of these ctures on
exhibition at b. SCOTS Auction Rooms, on
Chestnut street, between Tenth and Eleventh
streets, south side. Particularly noticeable among
those on exhibition, there is one by Hart,
called Woods an autumn, which challenges the
rapturoUs admiration OF every true lover OF art
for the attractveness OF its design and the mag
nlfcence of Its finish. 1t Is a subject which
speaks home TO every one alive to the beauties
of nature, and the artist has neither sunk
below it or garnished it With superhuous bril-
lancy in the manipulation. The rich and gOr.
geous colors of vegetation are relieved here and
there by sombre evergreen, the light AID
shadow of the woods, and CHARACTERISTIC hazI-
ness of the atmosphere. This gem is valued at
five thousand dollars. There are a great many
other pictures in the gallery possessing as cove
table attributes as this one, which our space
will not ADMIT Of our noticing to any great eX-
tent. Suffice it TO say that among the works
OF art which are offered as przes by The Asso-
citation, is Berstadts celebrated Yosemite Val
Ley picture from nature, Calaveras county
California, and Constant Meyers RecOgnHtOn
