COMMUNICATIONS.

ar. EIitor:-I was much pleased to see. In
your paper of Monday, a communication on the
subject of the Apprentices Library. entirely
agree with the writer, that such an institution IS
calculated to produce the most beneficial results
by encouraging habits Of reading and application
among that numerous class OF the community,
instead of EMPLOYING their leisure hours IN folly
and dissipation, which is the ruin of so many of
the risin- generation; and it is more than proba-
BILE, that many a promising youth, who but Tor
the sin of intemperance would have been the
pride Of his friends and a credit to his country,
might have been saved from that disgrace and de-
graduation, had he been favored with the privileges
of an Apprentices Library, orhad habits of read
ing been encouraged in early life.
1t struck me, on reading the above
cation, that the fore part Of it was calculated to
mislead the public as to who were the projectors
Of the institution above mentioned. and by whose
-~exertions it has been brought into successful tho
(or want of means) limited operation. The lines
| allude to. as calculated to convey an erroneous
impression. are these:-
1T is interesting to witness the zeal manifest
ed by few young men OF our town. IN their en-
deavors to promote and useful know
ledge, and %yirtuous principles, among Appren-
tees"
Now, from reading these lines, whom would it
be supposed were the originators or founders of
this Institution? We are told that it was q few
Young mea; and | think a person not better in
formed on the subject might reasonably be led to
infer, from the above, that these young men were
persons in afluent circumstances. and who, being
disposed to devote a portion Of their substance to
the good Of theU fellow beings, had selected this
neglected portion Of the community for the
exercise of their benevolent designs. But this
has not been the case. This institution, the
good effects likely to ensue from which rflst be
acknowledged by all, was founded by, and orr
ginafed with, Apprentices: and by their e~Nertions,
aided by some of our citizens, ithas been brought
TO its present state of forwardness.-On them
should be bestowed the praises due for their lau-
dable exertions;-and they will have the pleasing
reflection, that though their interests are too much
neglected by others, they have not neglected them
selves-Aud it is confidently believed that a Ii
beral public will sustain their efforts: so that, in
the end, they may be crowned with that success
which they deserve. jess.

Burglary and ROb5sy.-A most daring dep
relation was committed upon the residence of
John Townsend, Esq. Mayor of this city, some
time in the night before last. In the absence
from town ofhis honor and family, with the ex-
ception of one or two servants, his house was
entered and articles of silver plate Of considera-
bic value were stolen. A large massive silver
salver which it seems outweighed not only thecu-
pidity, but the capacity of the villain, was left
behind in the yard, The entry must, from all
appearances. have been made from Eagle street,
and across the premises of Isaiah Townsend, Esq.
10 the rear of the Mayors house, the back door
of which was found open in the morning, and the
presumption also is, that a familiar knowledge of
the premises must have facilitated the depreda-
ton. No discovery of the property or the rObber
had been made when our paper went to press
last evenins.-.Hijany Daily tide. June IL.

of the peace-oficers upon him, we know nothing.

Bank Fd,ture.-We regret to be compelled to
state there is no longer any doubt as to the
insolvency and failure of the Bank of Steubenville.
This bank is one of the oldest in the Western
country, and has maintained q reputable stand
ing for many years. We are told that there are
few Of its notes in circulation, and that the pub
lie and stockholders, will sustain, comparatively,
but little loss by the failure. ~" 1t should be
particularly noted, that it is the old Steubenville
Bank that has failed, and that the Farmers
Bank" of that place is perfectly solvent, and
that its notes are received with entire confidence.
