Maximilian is still believed to be shqt up
in Queretaro-thc force besieging that place
having been strengthened by several thousand
troops, who had previously been engaged at
Puebla. Three thousand Of the LiSeralists
engaged al Peubla were also Nsent to Vera
Cruz to ad in the Liberalist siege of that
city, which has been summoned TO papitulate.
The capture Of Puebla by Portirio dag, isa
sad story. Over four thousand soldiers were
killed and wounded on both sides in the final
contest |, and Diaz is said to have put to death
sixty three officers Of the Imperialist garrison,
for refusing to surrender. 1t is thought it,
Maximilian is captured at Queretaro, he will

what they are and what they are worth-and
we will answer them all at once by stating that,
in addition to the Opera House property, there
are three hundred paintings, which would alone
constitute vast and valuable distribution
Seven of these paintings are large exhibition
pictures, which there are few private residences
in this country sufficiently capacious to enter
tain. The fame of the first of these, the 10
Semitic Valley, has made it familiarly known
throughout the land. 1t is estimated, and not
over its actual worth, at 1000 The value OF
such o painting as portable property" may be
inferred from the fact that Bierstadt has realized
from the exhibition of it's companion, "a Storm
in the Rocky Mountains" SIC, 900 in one year
That it could be easily converted into cash is
sufficiently shown by the sale, the other day, of
a little study of this came subject-of which
Bierstadt ia SO fond-24 by 30inohes in sise, for
the large sum of S., 300; and this at auction in
Boston When it is remembered that this paint
ing 10 . by IL ieet il is not difficult by compare
son to realize It's value. This applies, also to
the other exhibition pictures - the mastery
