A LOSS TO THE SCIENTIFIC WORLD. -- The following dispatch was received by one of our citizens today:
   CHICAGO, June 19th. -- The "Academy of Science was burned, and about one-half of the valuable collection destroyed.
   The loss by this fire will be seriously felt by the scientific world.  The Academy of Natural Sciences had been some ten years making its collection in natural history, mineralogy, etc., and had brought it to a point which placed it in rank only second to that of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington.  Its ornithological collection was only second to that of the Audubon Club of Chicago, which was established the same year.  The museum contained specimens gathered from every part of the known world, some of which cannot readily be replaced.
