Scarcely three years since, we conceived
the idea Of studying the geology ofthis Ceun-
ty, as well as other parts Of the state as far as
opportunity may offer; and to collect together
In Van Buren, minerals and fossils of this
state and from whatever other source may
present. Our object in doing SO. is. first, for
the pleasure afforded us by such inyestiga-
tions secon lily, the hope that by such efforts
we may add our little to help develops tho re-
sources of our country; and. thirdly, that we
may at least form the nucleus of a geological
collection that may grow TO importance to
students who NAV wish to cultivate this
branch Of natural science. Our lsbors have
presented ns with many interesting facts; and
we have obtained a good many specimens
from our own STATE; rs well rs several hun
dreds from various and distant States.
scientific gentleman of Cincinnati. Ohio, has
interested himself to aid Us in these efforts
and sent us many interesting specimens both
geological and couclIological; and several
gentlemen, and even ladies' have remembered
us in lhcirtrayrls and excursions, far and near,
and sent us some beautiful and valuable col
lectons
As often AS we have received contributions,
so often have the pleasures OF thought been
exalted in US in way that cannot well be de-
scribed ia words. but may be appreciated by
all who are inspired with the delights which
the study of nature yields.
We take this occasion of expressing our
thanks to all who have contributed specimens
to enlarge our cabinet, and aid us in our stud
les; and hope. that in the future we may still
be remembered vs. heretofore, SO that We may
go on enlarging our collection. and make it.
AS far as possible, a representation of the &C.
ology of our Stats a. well as fossils represent
ing some of the geology of other portions of
the world
We may show in a future article the impor-
tance Of preserving carefully all fossils, and
something of the lessons drawn from their
study.

out prononncing him anything further than a
slanderer we will say that we know q great
number throughout the State, fresh recruits
to the ranks, who desire the same thing.
Their long service does net entitle them to
promotion, and nothing will give it but the
adoption of the SqrJerian policy. You can

Judge Gilbert, Of the Supreme Court of
Brooklyn to-day rendered a decision in the
civil rights case, wherein William + johnson,
eolored. sought to compel the p incipal of a
public school to admit his son instead of send
ing hia to the school provided for color-d
children. Tho Court holds that comWon
schools are public charities; that the hcnetits
conferred by them are free gifts trem the
State, and like every other donor. the State
may prescribe in what manner, AM upon
what terms and conditions the gift may be en-
joyed in conclusion, the Judge says that
the statute, by guaranteeing equal privileges,
does not confer the right to enjoy in common
with any class of persons, or in any particu-
lar school, and that nothing ha. been shown
from which it can be inferred that tho relntar
has been deprived of the equality of the priv
ilegrs to which he is entitled. Motion or
