those who visited the institution. Nearly.
-everyone who has been there has express,/
ed -surprise at -the large number of inter
resting relics and curiosities which have
been
e e together. There must
d
r
have been an immense amount of labor
in bringing all these articles together,
and we think the young people who have
had charge:of the affair deserve a great
deal of credit, for the time and labor so
ungrudgingly given. During the week
the exhibition has been kept open from
10. -am.• until 10 p.m. each day, and a
large number- of visitors have 'been •A re-
sent each day. The ladies have also had
charge of a refreshment table, which has
been, fairly patronized. • Owing to the
storm; and the excitement of the elections,
the number: of visitors in the beginning
of this week was not nearly so large as
that of last week, but we trust that the
remaining days will be the' best of all.
We advise all our readers to embrace an-
other opportunity of visiting the exhibi-
tion before it closes, which we understand
will positivelybe en Saturday night.
There were added to the hitherto large
list during the week a very fine collec-
tion, loaned by R. Ransford, Esq. The
Egyptian and the two hand painted vases.
were particularly noticeable, • whilst the,
Roman dagger and knife to a large •num-
ber .were o'bjects'of close inspection. Mrs.
Wilkie shows the first daguerreotypes tak-
en in Canada. Mrs.N, Matheson's fashion
book of 1834 is much examined, and cer-
tainly is a curiosity. 'Lir. D. 14. Menzies
lends a frame made from wood from the
}rouse of Logie, in -Scotland, and fully 420.
years old. Mrs. Wm.. Coats, in her col-
lection) has an 'Indian book of hymns, and
a group of -Australian cenverts-which are
objects 'of'frequent .inspection. Amongst
the -most interesting of curiosities are the
eldernewspapers' and writings on exhibi-
tion, including the specimens of old deeds
and indenture. The old -books; --ranging
froni.1820 back, to the 16th century, are
e?°erly;sought ''by all students and lovers
ofliterary lore. In this regard Mr. Jas.
Scott, the Librarian, has placed the :man-
agement under very deep obligations, and
his ancient books are worthy .of minute.
examination. ''DIrs. W.W. I'arriin loaned
the exhibition some china are,which specimens'.of Belleck
chi w are smer 'ly fine and
continually the objectsof inspection,, . We
could go on and specify a great . many
more articles" ofmuch interest, but we
would rather advise all our readers to go
and see for themselves. • We are satisfied
that no such-- collection will ever be
brought, together again fora good many
years,'and those who miss seeing -it will
have good deal to. regret.
