Sho also says that she truly Joved Firh, aud was goaded slinost to despers- tion when ho deserted hur. or mothor tives on Poorio streot, and tho girl was deauly moved at tho thought that sho would learn of her crime, Bally appears to bo a worthy object for the Kindocss of the benevolent, who might ‘intorest themselves in hor defanse, with tho prospect of being rewardod by her roformation from hor somowhat wayward habits, —+ ACADEMY OF, SCIENCES, LIST OF DONATIONS, Aregnlar mouthly mooting of the Chicago Academy of Scionces was Lotd Inst ovouing in the rooms of tho Acadomy, the Presidont, Dr. II, A.
