Avery, intending to spend the ensuing season in Europe, respectfully offers at auction his collection of Paintings in Oil, Water Color Drawings, Objects of Art, Antiques, &c. The sale will include many entirely new and important Paintings, not before offered for sale, by distinguished American and Foreign Artists, embracing desirable subjects by Artists whose works are difficult to obtain. With the public record of my former sales, it is hardly necessary to mention that this one, also, will be absolutely unreserved. And, if some of the works bring fair prices, buyers should remember that in a free sale there are always many excellent things which sell very low. The Frames are nearly all new, and are of elegant patterns, and in every case will be sold with the pictures without extra cost. To save petty annoyance and insure careful handling, Thomas Rossell has been engaged to deliver to purchasers the Paintings, etc., free of charge. Mr. Avery desires to return thanks to the patrons of Art for the very liberal support and hearty good will so freely accorded to him on many occasions.

An interesting relic of the Prussian Court Painter. Geo. Saal, is in the hands of Mr. S. P. Avery, of this City. It is the last picture painted by Saal, and is a work of considerable merit. The scene is thus described bv the artist in a letter to Mr. Avery, dated Paris, August, 1870: “The scene of the Bear Picture represents an episode in one of my Norwegian journeys. Lodging with a family of bear-hunters 1 was notified by these people that they had been for some time on the track of a large bear in some section of a near mountain. I refrained some time from setting up my easel, but the beauty of the place finally prevailed against my uneasiness, and, armed with my rifle, I took the risk. Painting in those regions being a rare thing, it some¬ times happened that a stray person stopped near to me, sometimes to talk, but oftener to silently and respectfully examine my work. It was not surprising, therefore, that on this day the noise of steps behind me did not attract my attention. I was absorbed in my labor, which undoubtedly saved me from a dangerous encounter with my strange admirer of which I had hot the least suspicion. Here is the way I learned the peril I was in. My host’s sons, in pursuit of the bear, had scaled the rocks facing my position ; they saw me at work, and likewise saw the bear leave his den, place himself behind me, look a long time attentively at me, and leave as good naturedly as he came. Their fear for me must have been as great as my indifference, since, on my returning, they received me with the liveliest expressions of joy. On the following day the chase was resumed, and the unfortunate bear became the victim of it. He was one of the largest lately killed. In remembrance of the danger 1 had escaped they willingly resigned his skin to me, and which for many years remained one of the most beautiful trophies of my travels in the boreal country.” Saal, who was a most amiable and sensitive man, was, with thousands of his countrymen, finally expelled from Paris soon after the commencement of hostilities. This harsh treatment, with the privations he subsequently suffered, completely broke down his health, and he died the victim of a cruel and tyrannical decree. 59. HERZOG, of Dusseldorf A Norwegian Torrent. / 60. CHURCH (F. E.), Twilight in Vermont. One of the pictures which helped to make the fame of this distinguished artist—it has not been exhibited in this city for many years. In a letter to the late owner of this work, the artist says : “ Although the picture is one of my earlier efforts, yet I did it with great care, and with a relish, and it was an exact representation of the scene (Ira Mountain, near Clarendon, Vermont), where I was then spending the Summer.” 10 6JL DURAND (A.
