The committee on this department say in
their report that they found Mr.. Christy's Cab
met on exhibition in tho hall, but no contract
between him and the Institute has been made.
This your committee endeavored to effect, but
could not succeed, although nothing was asked
of him save what he had himself proposed.
After various propositions had been made to
Mr.. G. (none Of which were accepted, your COM
mittce found that the shells could only be re-
tanned by involving the Institute in q heavy
debt, such an one as the small advantage to be
derived from their possession would not war
rant They therefore consented to their re-
moval upon such conditions as would secure the
Institute from loss.
A very handsome addition has been made to
the specimens In 0rnithology, consisting OF
about two hundred and sixty birds, some of
which are neatly put up in cases. About one
hundred and twenty-five are yet TO be delivered,
at cost of one dollar each.
THE PROPERTY.
The committee to whom was referred general
affairs connected with the property, remark:
We have acted as far as we were able to
carry out the suggestions Of previous commit
tees, having to be governed, to great extent,
by the means at our control.
There have been several improvements made
to the building, by means Of alterations and
| rooms have been built, and are q great i'm
provement to that part Of the building there
are now two exits from the fourth story, which
| will be very advantageous in case of fire or
other accident. The large sky-light over tho
| main stairs, has been removed to accommodate
the building Of the new stairs, and that part Of
the building is much lighter in consequence
| Of it.
The lease Of the fourth story Of the Insti-
tute to the Eagle Lodge, No. 100, 1. o. o. F.
has been extended for a further term of five
years, on the same terms and conditions as
heretofore.
There have been donated 10 the Library con-
nected with the Institute, during the past year,
besides some very valuable works by Davis B.
Lawler, which are printed in Italian, sixty
eight volumes of books, by different parties
among whom we notice the names of Hon.
Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton, Hon. Geo. e. Pugh,
Hon. S. S. Cox, Robt. Hosea, and others.
We havo given what we have thought the
more interesting portion Of the report, and con-
clude our extracts by congratulating the di-
rectors upon the fact that the clouds which
havc long hung pOrtcntOusly over so importan
source of profit to the community have at las
3 rolled away.

Non EST INvESTUs.--A man, named Henry
Mellencamp, who resides in Olive Branch, Cler-
mont County, of this State, came to the city
nine days ago to collect about $500 from some
of our hardware merchants, since which time
ho has not been heard Of. His wife, whose
imaginings, of course, take the most horrible
shapes, ,.and whose mental vision sees now only
the darker side of the picture, thinks he has
been foully dealt with, and that she will never
see him more. She weeps for him as for one
dead, and is almost disconsolate at her loss.
