ubscribers. These Clubs will be the nuclei for
PRESENTLY forming societies, establishing agricul. |;
nral libraries, holding neighborhood fairs, &c--|
nus cementing the community together, in the
xecutlon ofone common grand design.
I his is certainly favorable moment for gain
1g the public attention, when the excitement
