Public Reading Room.

Il has been matter Of surprise 10 US for
some time past that there is no place Of pub.
lie resort in Pomeroy, where the young men
resident here, strangers visiting the place,
and business men who have leisure hour,
can profsably spend the time usually squan-
dered in idle conversation, or more vicious
indulgence. Why have we no reading-room
or library? ls it because our citizens can
realize no advantages TO be derived from such
an institution? Or is il because they fear
the expense could not easily be borne? II
the first, we can assure them that aside from
every consideration Of pleasure and profit 10
those who should engage in it, the improve
ment in The habits and morals OF the young
men of the place, would alone amply repay
ts founders and supporters. As TO the cost,
that depends entirely upon the manner Of
conducting Il. Areading room, which will
..e~era a very good purpose, can be KEEP,
in operation in this place, a. from fifty to
seven,y.fve dollars year. Wha, is want.
ed, is a room, in some convenien, place,
with rough desks, suitable for files Of news.
papers, a stoye, a few lamps, and small
boy TO keep the room in order, which need
no, require more than an hours time each
day. If a library is attached, the books
can be exchanged Ut stated periods, without
much more labor than ordinarily devolves
upon the librarian Of Sabbath school. A
few rules, necessary and proper, strictly en-
forced, would render such place, a pleas.
an, as we'll as profitable resort.
The newspapers and magazines need cos
nothing. Our exchange list, which is toler.
ably large and well.selected will be cheer
fully donated, as soon as glanced over. The
Pinsburg and Cincinnati papers can be easi
| ly procured from the boats, and any citizen
wishing 10 contribute any newspaper Of o
rare or peculiar kind can easily place it OF
the files.
We submit the matter TO our readers. W.
do not pretend TO dictate plan Of operation
but merely suggest sha. some plan be ma
lured and adopted. Any aid we can rende,
will be given cheeFully.
There are many other liule matters which
might prove advantageous to our citizens
some Of which we may mention hereafter
