  Mr. 
  Lewis 
  H. 
  Morgan, 
  of 
  Rochester, 
  whose 
  report 
  with 
  its 
  

   illustrations, 
  in 
  the 
  last 
  annual 
  communication 
  of 
  the 
  Regents, 
  

   has 
  excited 
  such 
  deserved 
  attention, 
  urged 
  upon 
  the 
  Regents, 
  at 
  

   an 
  early 
  period 
  of 
  the 
  last 
  year, 
  another 
  appropriation 
  for 
  in- 
  

   creasing 
  the 
  specimens 
  of 
  Indian 
  manufactures 
  already 
  in 
  the 
  

   cabinet. 
  The 
  sum 
  of 
  two 
  hundred 
  and 
  fifty 
  dollars 
  was 
  accord- 
  

   ingly 
  placed 
  in 
  his 
  hands, 
  and 
  on 
  this 
  there 
  have 
  been 
  received 
  

   an 
  Indian 
  bark 
  house 
  and 
  a 
  large 
  Indian 
  canoe. 
  The 
  remainder 
  

   of 
  the 
  articles 
  obtained, 
  are 
  understood 
  at 
  the 
  date 
  of 
  this 
  report 
  

   to 
  be 
  on 
  their 
  way 
  to 
  this 
  city. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Morgan, 
  also, 
  promises 
  an 
  additional 
  report 
  on 
  the 
  above, 
  

   and 
  if 
  received 
  in 
  season, 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  transmitted 
  to 
  the 
  Legisla- 
  

   ture. 
  

  

  At 
  his 
  instance, 
  also, 
  the 
  Regents 
  were 
  induced 
  to 
  purchase 
  

   from 
  Mr. 
  Ely 
  S. 
  Parker, 
  an 
  Indian 
  and 
  an 
  engineer 
  in 
  the 
  ser- 
  

   vice 
  of 
  the 
  State, 
  the 
  tomahawk 
  of 
  the 
  once 
  renowned 
  chieftain 
  

   Cornplanter. 
  The 
  authenticity 
  of 
  this 
  relic 
  is 
  established 
  in 
  an 
  

   interesting 
  letter 
  from 
  Mr. 
  Parker, 
  a 
  copy 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  herewith 
  

   transmitted. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  only 
  necessary 
  to 
  glance 
  over 
  the 
  catalogue 
  of 
  donations 
  

   to 
  this 
  collection, 
  to 
  be 
  assured 
  of 
  the 
  great 
  interest 
  taken 
  in 
  it, 
  

   both 
  by 
  strangers 
  and 
  by 
  our 
  fellow 
  citizens. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Hough 
  has 
  communicated 
  a 
  paper 
  entitled 
  " 
  Notices 
  of 
  

   Ancient 
  remains 
  of 
  Art 
  in 
  Jefferson 
  and 
  St. 
  Lawrence 
  counties, 
  

   with 
  illustrations 
  of 
  the 
  same," 
  in 
  continuation 
  of 
  his 
  paper 
  pub- 
  

   lished 
  last 
  year. 
  The 
  Regents 
  recommend 
  its 
  printing 
  with 
  the 
  

   present 
  report, 
  and 
  they, 
  also, 
  transmit 
  an 
  analysis, 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Salis- 
  

   bury, 
  of 
  a 
  hsematitic 
  iron 
  ore 
  found 
  in 
  Westchester 
  county. 
  

  

  With 
  the 
  above 
  detail 
  of 
  the 
  proceedings 
  of 
  the 
  committee, 
  

   charged 
  with 
  the 
  care 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  Cabinet, 
  the 
  Board 
  might 
  be 
  

   content 
  to 
  close 
  their 
  annual 
  report, 
  were 
  they 
  not 
  deeply 
  im- 
  

   pressed 
  with 
  the 
  necessity 
  of 
  obtaining 
  more 
  ample 
  means 
  for 
  

   the 
  preservation 
  and 
  increase 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  State 
  Cabinet," 
  and 
  thus 
  

   extending 
  its 
  benefits 
  to 
  the 
  tens 
  of 
  thousands,
