were regarded as unfarorable, aud for the first
half hour on Change the market was exceed

The Beard then adjourned.

Illinois State Horticultural Society.
The executive committee met according to
adjournment, at the rooms Of the Academy Of
Natural Sciences, at Q a. m yesterday.
President Galusha reported that he had
rented Bryan Hall for one week, in which to
hold the Fair-the lower hall for vegetables,
aad the upper hall for the other departments.
The Fair is fixed for September 8th to the
18th, inclusive. This will be rather early for
the main crops Of apples, but for early fruits
\ of all kinds, vegetables and flowers, will be
just In season, and in our humble opinion,
the Society will find the gardeners of the city
no way backward In these departments. There
is probably no city in the Northwest SO we'll
supplied with vegetables, as Chicago, and
in conjunction with the country, no effort
will be spared to render the proposed fair a
most interesting one.
The Society directed the Secretary, Mr.
ChaEe, to rent an Office for the use Of the So
clety, where he will be found during busi-
ness hours, This will be great convenience
to oil those who may hare business with the
Society. Mr. Chase is to give his time to the
enterprise, IS the Actuary Of the Society. This
is more in the right direction, and shows
that the officers know Whist they are about,
and are determined to mike the Fair sue
cess, BY going to work In business like
way.
The premium list will not be completed
| until June Sd, to which time the committee
have adjourned.

j. l.. SCRIPTS, 2. II.
To The Ladies' Hospital Aid Societies
Of the Northwest.
Under the auspices Of the Chicago Sanitary
Commission, there has been organized in this
city 4 s.Protestant Female Nurse Association
whose object Is to assist in furnishing the
military hospitals Of the West with compe-
tent female nurses. The board Of ladies COM
posing the Association Was appointed by the
Sanitary Commission, and acts In co-opera-
tlon with Rev. Mrs. Jeremiah Porter and Miss
Mary Stafford, of Cairo, whose relations TO the
hospitals, and acquaintance with the surgeons,
enable them to know their needs, and to make
such rcquisition for nurses as the emergencies
Of the occasion demand. The Association has
already sent out several corps Of superior
female nurses, who are doing good service in
the hospitals, and rendering efficient aid to
the surgeons; while in consequence Of the
great sickness up the Tennessee, the demand
for female nurses Of The right kind is largely on
the increase
Under these circumstances it has been
thought best to invite the numerous Ladies'
Aid Societies throughout the Northwest to as
sist in answering the demand for nurses as
well as hospital supplies. It is thought that
every Ladies' Aid Society in the country can
furnish at least one nurse, known by the So.
ciety generally, and recommended BY It as
worthy and competent, whom 1t would be
willing to send to the hospitals, and to whom
it would entrust Its supplies for distribution.
Or course, it would be necessary in all this to
act through the Commission, which has been
demonstrated to be the only safe and sure
medium Of communication with the hospitals
Great care is necessary in the selection Of
these nurses. They must be women Of the
| nost unimpeachable integrity, religious in
spirit, thoroughly kind aud gentle-hearted,
| possessed Of the rarc gift Of common sense,
| equal to the emergencies that constantly arise
in the army hospitals, where there is every
thing to do and but little to do with, not
| gar1ulous, nor given to getting up scenes, and
while selfreliant, entirely subordinate and
obedient to the surgeon in whose. hospitals
they nurse. They must be women Of phyzi,
cal vigor and endurance, who can witness hor.
rible and shocking sights without fainting
| who can endure hardships, live in tents, Il
need be, and On soldiers Iations, and dispense
for the time with the comforts and Injuries q
home. They must be women Of cheerful ani
active temperament, Industrious and energet

therefore engaged fourteen out Of every

SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO School
TRusrEEs.-The public are aware that
the Board Of School Trustees, did, in the
fall, adopt certain salutary regulations, as
they deemed them, respecting the attend
ance of pupils at the Union School Of

Those regulations, though some of the
patrons have thought them stringent and
perhaps too exacting, have worked admi-
rably in producing regularity of attend
ance and prompt attention to the duties
of the school room. To remove all doubt
in the minds of the people as respects the
legality of the regulations adopted By the
said Trustees, one of their number, Mr.
G. B. ALBEE, recently wrote to the Supt
of Public Instruction relative thereto
