As we ^o to press the sad intelligence 
is received that Colonel N. S. Goss, state 
Ornithclogist of Kansas, dropped dea^ 
of heart disease at the depot in Neosha 
Falls, at 9 A. M., March 10th in his 65th 
year. The Colonel was an indefatigable 
collector and his extensive Ornitho- 
logical collecti'^n, which now falls to the 
state of Kansas was one of, if not the 
finest private collection of the kind in 
the. United States. 
Our limited space will not permit of 
a more extended mention of the life 
and labors of this great and good Or- 
nithologist.
