Such insurance Is void either with or without no.

contract Of indemnity, and the insured had no per.

MUSEUM OF MINERALS IN THE LAND OFFICE.
Hon. Joseph 8. Wilson, the Commissioner
OF the General Land Office, has II in contem-
plation 10 establish q museum in the Patent
Office building Of minerals from the various
States and Territories, specimens Of which
will be solicited from miners, mining associa-
tons, and others interested in the mineralogy
Of this country. The project,which is most
excellent one, has not yet assumed definite
shape, but will doubtless be carried into effect
before long. The proposition is to assign q
special alcove or cabinet for each State and
Territory, in which will be placed specimens
Of all the minerals known to exist therein,
to be so arranged as to afford visitors and
scientific men an opportunity for examiDa-
ton. The Commissioner has already col
lected large number Of specimens, chiefly
from the western States and Territories, which
will raiford nuclues for the museum which
Il is contemplated to establish.
