Portland Society of Natural History.

Our readers will undoubtedly learn with
much satisfaction that the pleasant rooms of
this institution are again to be thrown open,
and the public admitted to free inspection OF
its valuable collections. The heavy pecuniary
embaTassments which have hung upon the
Society have alone prevented this announce
ment from being made sooner. Lattcriy, by
the earnest and untiring efforts OF few OF Its
members-whose unselfish devotion to science
we could wish to see better known and appre-
ciated by the community which profits from
it-donations have been obtained to the
amount of five hundred dollars. This sum is
to be expended in putting in order the now
sadly disordered collections, and in preparing
the hall for the admission of the public. Mr..
Edward S. Morse, a distinguished naturalist,
whose fitness for this work is too well known
to our citizens to require commentator, has
been induced to accept for four months the
office of Special Curator of the institution
He will devote himself to the proper scientific
arrangement of the specimens, and prepare
reports in relation to them. 1t is expected
that by the first of June the preparations may
be so far completed that the cabinets will be
thrown open to the public.
In addition to this the Society propose that
a brief popular lecture in the lecture room
shall, on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.
precede the opening of the hall and cabinet.
Several members of the SOCIETY have volun-
tered to assist in this project, which it is be-
lieved will not only add a most attractive fea-
the desirable end of familiarizing the public
more fully with the objects and uses of the
institution. These are of such Importance
and value that they only need to be properly
recognized by an intelligent community in or
der to meet the support they deserve. se
The Portland Society of Natural History
has had to contend with severe misfortunes, and
to struggle under load fdebt which has great
ly crippled all its efforts. 1t still suffers from
this embarrassment; and we would earnestly
call the attention of those of our citizens, who
with ample means, possess also liberal pull
lie spirit, to the duty Of sustaining an institu-
ton whose object is to difuse scientific infor-
nation and to elevate the standard of general
intelligence. Other cities of the size and i'm
portance of ours, have their institutions Of
this kind established on secure foundation,
and are able to retain permanently the servi-
ces of scientific men. 1t should be matter
of State and local pride with us to make it for
the advantage ofsuch men. to remain here, and
devote their talents and attainment to lifting
our own institutions ofscience into the position
which they ought to occupy, to be worthy Of
our State and people. We beg of all who
have means to bestow that they will consider
these points, and we are sure that among such
deserving objects the Society Of Natural His
tory has especial claims to favor.
