Art Exhibition. — Opened at the rooms of the Insti- 

 tute on Tuesday, Nov. 9, and closed Wednesday the 17th, 

 under the skilful and tasteful direction of the Curator of 

 painting and sculpture. It was the generally expressed 

 opinion that this was one of the most pleasing and inter- 

 esting exhibitions ever given by the Institute. It was 

 largely attended and the display of pictures was exceed- 

 ingly creditable to the taste of our citizens, who cheer- 

 fully loaned their works of art, many of which were 

 extremely valuable. The main hall was devoted to the 

 display of oil paintings, water colors, pen and ink, and 

 pencil sketches. The eastern anteroom w^as occupied by 

 the display of bronzes, porcelain and pottery. This was 

 the first ceramic exhibition in Salem.
