-p;z, Rev. Mr.. Mason of Washington offered the
Introductory prayer; Rev. Mr.. Stanton OF BethIem
preached the from the ten first verses OF the

MECHANIC AssOCIATlON-APPRE
LIBRARY.
At meeting of Mechanics, holden at r. Cooks
,..i,.. &c aha E.L lo;o
sderation the proprety of joining in the celebration
of the Litchfe!d County Agricultural Society, it
voted that Car be erected, bearing suitable embems
of the various mechanical branches in this town, and
committees appointed to carry this vote into eff
feet, and take charge of the business that day.
1t was also voted that Mechanical Association be
formed and funds Immediately raised for laying the
foundation Of an Apprentices Library. subscrip-
ton was opened, which has thus far, believe, met
with universal appreciation, and good success. The
propriety ofmaking appropriate display of mechan
caingenuty, as well of agricultural productions &
domestic manufactures, cannot be questioned by any
one; indeed it is of the branches of the society
whose anniversary is celebrated. The best feature
however in the records of the meeting above mention
ed is the vote for procuring an Apprentices Library
1t is not intended by this that but appren
tees to have to the Library, govern its
concerns. Master Mechanics, and others who sub
scribe for its support will have rights in it, and its of
ficers and directors will, we presume, be chosen ex-
clusively from the former. The number of Mechan-
les in this town is small in proportion the number
in most other towns in New-England of similar inn
portance. We however have respectable number,
and it is Of the highest importance to them also
other classes in society, that systematic and vigorous
measures be adopted to improve the character and
standing of the young and boys committed to their
charge. And know of no way better lculated to
accomplish this object than by the formation of
chanic association which shall be bound together by
wholesome regulations, which shall feel interested in
each others prosperity, which shall cherish virtue &
discoun:enance vice among its members or their APP
prenticcs and which shall place in the hands of their
dependents suitable books calculated to improve the
mind and elevate their character and standing in
ciey. In this, masters are personally interested; and
not only they, but every individual who has need of
their services and WHO is dependant upoi mechanical
trades for almost all the necessaries of life. Society
at large is benefited by having intelligent and VIM
tuous class of mechanics growing up among them.
We halsay more upon this subject hereafter Our
present object is to call the attention of citizens
to the object, and to invite all who mmedi-
atety interested, attend adjourned meeting to be
held at Mr.. Cooks on Wednesday evening the 18th
instant.
