printers in the state. During the was Nj.
Barnes held an important clerkship in the Office
of Provost Marshal Oaks at Springfield. He

grouse, from Fort Anderson; Petrus Smith
soaiana and Phalaropus, from Alaska; and a

varieties of beautiful birds from South Ameri-
ca, present from Judge Hollister, consul at
Buenos Ayres. We have only their scientific
names. which we omit, as they would be unin-
tslligible to most of our readers

SNAKEs-Bull snake, garter snake, rattle

These specimens of beasts and birds are kept
at present in case of lamsntably inadequate
dimensions in the dental Office Of Drs A. E. &

The Academy have also quite collection Of
books on scientific subjects reports o: the trans
actions Of other Academies; reports of the
Smithsonian Institute, of scientific surveys, ex-
plorations, &c.-indeed valuable collection in
all, but without any fixed place to keep them.
Aud this brings US to the main psint of this
article-the present and pressing want Of the
Academy suitable room, not only to serve az
its meeting place and general headquarters, but
as museum, or place in which to keep and
properly protest its property. Such . room
should bs in brick or fire proof building, the
property Of the society should be At least 80 by
60 to 81 feet in dimensions, with IA to 1S foot
csiling,-largs enough not only to contain all
the property Of the society, but to hold an aud
fence to hear scientific lectures, essays, discus
sions, SC. Such building, ground included,
with all the needed fixtures, wsuld not cost over
Ave or ak thousand dollars, and it certainly
seems As If there ought to be enterprise enough
in this city to raise that sum for so praissworthy
An object.
The building could be thrown open, at stated
hours, to all citizens, Is we'll as to the schools
and could thus be made IN institution worthy Of
our local pride, and means Of popular instruc.

Ottawa Academy or Natural Sciences.

We have had occasion, every month or two
for the last four or Ave years, to remind our
readers BY the publication Of minutes of its
meetings. of the existence Of an institution Of the
above name in this city, but beyond its imme-
diate membership, we presume, few Of our readers
ever imagined that they had the least interest in
the matter. A better understanding of what
the Institution has already accomplished and
what it aims it, ought, we think, to change this
feeling of indifference, and to enlist an
earnest interest in its affairs on the part, at least
of the people of Ottawa
