MR.. CATLIN AND HIS "INDIAN GALLERY"


We attended, during the Of the last week, the
lectures of Mr. George Catn upon the Indian character
geography, habits, &c., and both highly pleased
and instructed by the accounts given of his adventures
and knowledge, the result of long experience and
journ among the wild tribes of the Far West and the
interesting and so far could then judge, well
cuted portraits of Indian braves and squaws and land
scapes descriptive of the Buffalo Hunting, &c. SC. Mr.
Cs reputation is well established as an artist of fine
abiliti and talents and particularly faithful denea
tor of things and among the savage but gallant abo
rigines, that we shall not enlarge into euogium
upon his particular merits and recommendations. We
may however, in this place, bear witness to the quantity
and quality of the collections in costume weapons &c.,


&c. made by the artist in his travels beyond the Mis-
sssp and those who have not yet taken advan-
tage Of the exhibition that they have denid themselves
interesting spectacle and rich treat for the mind
There something novel and attractive in the history
the Indian tribes of country peculiarly SO when
delivered in conversational and familiar style and illus
rated by exhibition Of portraits of distinguished cha
racters, of costume, implements and weapons, that
not at all surprised in finding the lectures nstruc


tive and entertaining in the highest degree. We wish
Mr.. Can could be prevailed upon to remain little
longer among us, for if he has but little patience the
public will patronize him than they have as yet
done when his presence here is generally known
We wish, also, for the qualification and information OF
the community, that Mr. c. would open rooms for the
daily exhibition of his cnrosities and paintings as it
utterly impossible to understand appreciate them su-
ciently when they kept before the eye briefly
at the Theatre last week, and consequently little


me from the necessity of the case, is allowed to the
gentlemen and ladies then present to enjoy examine


them to their satisfaction If the Indian artist sees this
notice, before it be too late hope he will take


advice, he will be aware of our admiration of his tai


ents and industry, and wishes for his future prospe
rity. Thus do we hail and cheer the Natiue Artist
