and Dr. A. L. Gibbs trustees Mr. s. w. Cheever,
who has been very liberal toward the Academy
in the past giving them room rent free for their
collection, was elected an honorary member.
The removal of the Academy's superb collec-
ton of specimens to the High School Building
will be consummated next week in all probabli-
ity. This will be an important step for the Acad-
emy--useful to them and to the public. The col
lection will be put into elegant cases built ex-
pressly for them, in a room where light and all
other opportunities for examination will be CIV
en- 1t is also probable that the Secretary will be
appointed custodian, having an Office in the
building and being at hand at all times-a most
capable man, and in every way fitted for the po-
sition he is expected to occupy.
The Academy, after this change, after years Of
patient endenvor will be on a substantial footing
and merit the applause OF all interested in the
intellectual progress OF our city.
The superb collection contains some 5000 or
5000 geological, geological, photographic and
archaeological specimens, and when the colec-
ton is finally in the new building and the custo-
dian appointed, Mr.. d. $. Ebcrsol will donate
/, 900 specimens in addition from his magnificent
private collection, making this one of the very
finest collections in the state.
The trustees OF the school deserve credit for
the liBerality with which they treated the advan.
ces of the Academy, which secured this grea,
advantage for the school.

following, from the Ackley, Ia, F"tep,ise. They,
as we'll as ourselves, will endorse" everything
said Of the bride, daughter of our County Treas
urer, s. w. Raymond, who was born and raised
here; and will be pleased to know that she is so
happily mated
MARRIED--At the residence of John A. Carton
Esq. Thursday, Jan. LIST, 1880, by Rev. Thomas
Kemp, ID. D., Of Independence, s. A. REID, Of
Eldora, to Miss Ida RAYMOND, Of Ackley.
We know that the many friends and acquaint
ances of the happy couple will join with us in
wishing them long and happy life. The bride,
Miss Ida, has long been resident OF our city,
and by her innate goodness of heart and many
estimable qualities of heart and mind made hosts
of friends, who sincerely regret that she must
live elsewhere in the future, but know that what
Ackley loses Eldsra gains. or the groom, naught
but good can be said. For the past ten years
member of the Hardin county bar by his indus
try and ability he has achieved place at the
head of his profession. In all that energy, integ
rity and genial disposition adds to character,
Mr.. Reed is worthy of his prize. The ceremony
was private, none but members of the family and
a few intimate friends being present. They left
on the train east, and will commence housckeep
ing in Eldora on their return.

Trade at II. j. GILLEN's has been much better
than most people would imagine during such
bad weather. 1t can be attributed only to the
fact of the commencement OF the usual closing
out sale, for spite of the mild weather it is evil
dent that winter goods will be needed for many
weeks yet, and buyers are taking advantage of
the opportunity offered in this large stock TO lay
in a supply at the low prices offered.
The stock Of dress goods, cloths, blankets, fan
nels included in this sale is still very large and
choice. Buyers have the advantage of a com
pete stock to select from, and can, if they will,
obtain desirable goods at very low figures.
Great bargains will continue in the line Of ele-
CANT cloaks still left, and also on paisley, broche
and wooden shawls-one of Mr.. GIILEN's pet
stocks.
The boot and shoe department-one of the
most complete in the city-will meet the low
prices Of the dry goods department; and no
house will make better prices on groceries.
All in all, no house in Ottawa offers at this time
more decided inducements to purchasers OF all
classes than Mr.. GILLEN, and all are invited to
call and inspect for themselves.

this city, had died that morning OF consump-

relieve her, effect a cure or lengthen the number
OF her days was employed, but without success,
and she died yesterday morning about O'Clock.
The blow is a severe one to her husband, who,
though notan impulsve man, is one of deep feel
ing and had idolized his wife, who was, indeed, all
his love or fancy had painted her-a noble woman,
a perfect wife and mother. All who knew her
mourn her untmely end for she was just in the
prime of life, and deeply sympathize with the
husband in his terrible misfortune.
She leaves four children, from three to twelve
years OF age
