GEMTLEMEN-The want Of some means
of rational amusement, or instructive rccre-
alton, has long been a source of re greet to
that portion of our Fellow Citizens, who,
actively engaged during the day iii CONNER
cial and mechanical pursuits; seek in the
evening rclaxations from their labours, III
pleasures of Literature and Scicncc--who
are averse to the vulgar engagements of
dram drinking, and although not posed, arc
not at all times inclined to join inrelisious ex-
ercises.--To such our Borough presents no
attracton--at present there is no medium
between a Church and a Tavern.
To supply this defect is my object in adj
dressing you, trusting that some fyour read
ers, who are friends to science, and whose O.
pinioas are respected, will devise a remedy.
That we have much talent i'll the Borough
and its vicinity, will not be denied by any
who are conversant with the polenic dis
cussions and essays on various subjects
which have been issued from our press. Al
therefore that is wanting, is to give tia more
useful direction, by applying it to the instruc
ton and amusement of the community.
In any plan which may be proposed
would suggest the propriety Of it's aitoidins
to our Lades-whosc virtues and attain
ments deserve our respectful estcem-a par
ticipation in itsbcnetits, and alsot the order
Ely part of our youth. Yours,
