i,Suit Court.

The divorce case of WtlM VS.. Welsh, noticed
in our last, occupied the Court until Thursday
of this week. The complaint was brought by
Mrs. Mary Ann Welsh against her husband,
Thomas Welsh, aud the ground upor which the
lady asked to he released from the bonds of matri-
mony were cruelty on the part Of the husband.
The lady presented a very strong case indeed /;
but when the husband came with his rebutting
testimony, it was amazing to notice how squarely
his witnesses contradicted those on the other
side. There has hardly been case before in
our Court where the swearing was SO diametri-
cally opposite as in this case. The jury, howev.
er, found for the lady, who being young and
handsome and the jury largely composed Of old
cedgers, naturally won their sympathy. There
is motion pending for . new trial. The par.
ties hail from Leland.
The case now on trial 10 that of W. 2. Nen<r,
vs. Tile Western Ph0nir Insurance Co. of GAiea.
90 1t is the last jury trial at this term, 50 tina,
the jury will doubtless be dismisssd to-day.

Ottawa Academy Of Natural Sciences.

The Trustees of the Ottawa Academy of
Natural Sciences are happy to announce to the
citizens of Ottawa and vicinity, that they have
Just received from the Hon. NJ. H. HOLSTER,
consul at Buenos Ayres, valuable collection of
beautiful bird skins from South America, of 35
different species, with an intimation that if these
are appreciated and properly cared for by the
Academy, more may be expected from the same
source.
The Trustees have also on hand one hundred
specimens of bird skins presented by the Chicago
Academy Of Sciences. The localitiea from
whence these specimens were obtained render
them peculiarly interesting. The following To-
calities may be mentioned, viz: IoucOn, Wash
ington Territory, Fort Rea, Fort Anderson, Arc
tic Sea, Arctic American, Selkirk Settlement,
and many Others of equal interest and to add
to their value, many of them We're collected by
the lamented Robert Kennicott, who died in the
midst of his labors i'll the cause of science.
Among the specimens above referred to will
be found many which are never seen alive in
this climate.
The donation OF those rare and valuable speci-
mems imposed u duty on the Trustees which
they could not neglect without dshonor; they
have therefore secured the services of skillful
Taxidernist who is now engaged in mounting
the specimens above mentioned, and it is the
wish and iRtenton of the Trustees to keep him
chPioyeN, ~ PosSioic, VA TIC putS up u hIEe
proportion of the various species Of the birds of
Illinois.
| As the Academy is open to the public on all
proper occasions free of charge, its friends both
in town and country are respectfully solicited to
bring in specimens of BIRDS animals, and other
specimens of natural history, for the benefit of
the Academy. These may be left at the Drug
Store of Dimmick IL Bro. or at DR.. Paul's Office.
| There is another kind of specimens very much
| needed by the Trustees and that is specimens Of
Greenbacks; without money the work cannot 80
on. Many members of the Academy. and semo
who are not MEMBERS have subscribed literally,
| but no partiality will be used-all shall have u
fair chance. The subscription list will be circu.
lated, when it is expected that every one who
loves beautiful birds or any thing else that is
beautiful, will subscribe In behalf of the

ALDERMAN RAvENs,-The City Council pro-
whether the council accepted the resignation Of
Alderman Ravens, of the 9th ward, O, not. It
is only necessary to add, that at subsequent
special meeting of the council the resignation
was accepted; SO that there are two aldermen to
elect on Monday in the 9th ward The hesitation
in the council to accept the resignation of AID.
r., it is but just to say, arose purely from an
unwillingness to lose valuable and efficient a
member Bat since Mr.. r. has become partner
in the banking house of T. A. She, wood d Co.,
justice to his OWE private business has rendered
it impossible at the same time to do justice to
his constituents as their representative in the

MoRToN's GOLD PENs.-The enormous impo-
sitons practiced the public by gift enter
prises and the extensive trade in mock jewery,
naturally affect iuiuriOusly the business Of hon
est man ufacturers like Mr.. horton, in reference
to whose gold pens an advertisement appears in

warranted pure gold but are probably the best
pens made in the world In the end, good

City Election.

Our annual city election takes place next Mon.
day. There will be mayor to elect, aldermen
and school directors in the various wards, and
the people are asked to vote for or against the
proposed additional loan Of $4,000 for school
purposes. ,n.tt s5
We give a list below of the candidates nomi.
mated by the Democratic caucuscs in the various
wards for aldermen and school directors also
lists of the delegates to the city Democratic Con.
vention last evening to nominate candidate for
mayor.
As our paper went to press before this city
convention had transacted its business, we are
unable to state positively who the nominee for
mayor is, but as FRANK F. brewer is the only
candidate whom We had, up to last evening,
heard named for the Office, and about all the del
egates were instructed to vote for him, we infer,
Of course, that he was nominated by the eonveu.
ton by reclamation.
Assuming this to be unquestionable, we may
be permitted to say that the choice is an excel
lent one. Under our city charter, the Office of
mayor is clothed with such powers and duties as
render it necessary that it should be filled by
man of more than ordinary intelligence, and one
who is young, active, public spirited, and net
afraid or too INDECENT to give good deal Of his
time to the public for very empty honors as his
only pay. We know Of no man in the city who
will fill the bill more perfectly than Frank F.
Brewer. Indeed, the election of Mr.. Brewer is
80 much foregone conclusion, that we do not
believe that the republicans will think of run.
ming candidate against him.
The tickets nominated in the different wards
will hardly fare as we'll We are not able to
name any opposing republican as yet, but the
party have Saturday night and all day Sunday
to make up their combinations, and it is not their
"style" to let an opportunity pass where they
can make break in the democratic column.
The various ward nominations are as follows:
1sr WARD-For alderman, Patrick Donahoe !;
for school director, Theo. c. Gibson; delegates
to city convention. Patrick Looney, john Joy,
Jacob Gleim, NJ. II. Perry.

MAD Doc KILLED.-On Tuesday evening Of
this week, as Mr.. Wakefield, Mr. Galloway and
other Fall river farmers were driving home from
Ottawa, they were met in the road, about half a
mile east Of Mr.. Gentleman's place, by a rabid
dog. He was instantly attacked with sticks and
clubs, but not brought down until after he had
severely bitten valuable horse in the team OF
Mr.. Galloway. The dog was killed, and SO also,
by this time, probably has been the horse of Mr..
G. 1t is not known how far the dog had travelled
or how many other animals he may have bitten.

The Proposed School Loan.

Not BY any means the least important matter
to be voted upon on Monday by the people of
Ottawa. is the question whether they will ratify
the ordinance of the City Council providing for
an additional city loan of $4,000 for school pur.
poses The loan is objected to, on the ground
that the school board did wrong in pledging the
school revenue Of the current year in advance
for building purposes, leaving no means for run
ming the schools. The wisdom of the action of
the Board in the premises is matter we do not
propose to discuss. It is conceded, we believe,
that they did not exceed their legal powers; and
it is also conceded. we apprehend, that the money
they expended in erecting school houses was
wisely and iudiciously expended, except, pOssi-
bly,, in the case of the second ward, where there
is probably just ground for complaint that two
or three thousand dollars we're uselessly frttered
away on fancy work.
The expenditure, then, in erecting school
houses, having been wise and judicious, when
the last building that commenced in the 9th
ward) is finished, and which this loan of $4,000
will enable the Board to finish, this sort of ex.
penditure will be done with for the next ten or
fifteen years. People who complain that the
School Board, in erecting buildings last year,
went too fast, must bear in mind the pressure
that was upon them from wards that had no
decent buildings while others were SO well sup
piled with frst-class buildings. 1t was erring,
at least on the better side to yield in a case
backed up by 80 strong plea Of fair play.
The case resolves itself into 4 single point.
The school houses were needed, they have beer
erected, and when paid for will relieve the city
from further expenditure in that direction for a
number of years: Shall We now close up the
schools until the buildings are paid for? Shall
We pay an additional tax to maintain the public
schools at their present high standard, or shall
we damage them irretrievably by closing them
for year, and pay more than the tax would
amount to in the interval to support private
schools? Sensible men can give but one answer
to the question.
We should pursue the subject further, but
that it is SO ably handled by correspondent in
another column.
