.appPEyTyCEy LIBRARY.

The Directors Of this institution have deter
mined to extend the benefit Of its usefulness To-
the apprentices of msrchants, as we'll as to those
of mechanics. Il has already received patron
age assured by the bcnevolenee Of it, design and
the liberaiity Of our citizens. There are now be-
tween and 800 volumes in the library, aIthosgn
many wealthy citizens are not yet recorded
among its donors. Committees have been chosen
10 wait upon those gentlemen who have not con-
trbuted. and solicit donations this will relieve
those who may be disposed TO favor the institu-
ton from the trouble Of sending their presents to
the room selected for their reception. The great
adyani ages arising 10 the young men Of this town
from this opportunity Of reading may vel be
conjectured by the avidity with whish they seem
to improve il.
The library has been open but three weeks,
and on every day Of delivery, the room has been
crowded with applicants for books. II u truly =
high source Of qualification to tbs ph'ianthropic
mind to observe such zeal 10 this class OF s'cicfy
10 seize upon the advantages. the libeFaiity OF
their patrons has afforded them. How can mem
hers Of society do better service TO the commu-
nity, in which they livs than to aford means for
the cultivation Of the minds Of the ignorant, and
for strengthening the morals Of the rising gener-
atom
The committees will call upon their fellow
townsmen in the course Of the week, and hope
their gratuitous labour on this occasion will ex-
tend these means Of improvement, aud increase
the power Of the institution to promote the best
interest Of society.
MMUHicArIoE.
mr. suIRIeY-A piece in your last paper, re-
lating TO pensioners, was construed by come to
attach blame to the Cumberland Bank for their
proce edinss towards those people. The censure
was conveyed or thought 10 be so, by remarks
upon their agent. That institution being made
the medium for the payment Of pensions, IT was
deemed necessary and proper to employ some per-
son to examine the certificates and prepare pow
ers Of Attorney, &c. when required, in order to
ensure safety and regularity in the proceedings
of,he Bank. So far their agent 10 accountable
to them, but no farther: they ask nothing, and
receive nothing from the pensioners for their SER
vices. Whatever assistance, that Attorney or
any other renders. be does Il ~ the agent Of the
pensioners, and his reward must be settled BY
himself and those who employ him. II does not
