ArrEMPr At simultaneously young woman
named Catharne Flynn attempted suicide yesterday
morning by taking audanum at her residence, No. 300
Water street, and also attempted to Kill her child, an
infant of eighteen months, by giving it some OF the
same poison. The aid of physician was soon pro-
cured and most of the drug extracted but neither
m, ,her nor child is out of danger. The cause OF the
attempt at setdes.rnction appears to be, thst
man with whom the mother has lived has recently
left her and married another.

Its friends. 1t has Natural History Depart

department, and under its auspices course of
popular lectures will be delivered each winter.
Fellow Citizens, having thus briefly given you
history OF our enterprise we come now, to ask
you to discharge your duty, to strengthen our
hands and replenish our Treasury.
Thus far the young men. and to great extent
young men OF very limited means, have not only
oeen active In carrying out. but have furnished
the money for accomplishing what we have
done.
When first we started and solicited aid, we
were told 1t was but an experiment of doubtful
success, and contributions of limited amount on
ly were given, with the promise however, # we
succeeded, to do more for us.
Now confidently ask have zoe not done
we'll, have ace not fulfilled our promise. may we
not ask of y0U to remember yours
We need fund from the income of which to
annually increase our library. Our ordinary re-
eeipts will only defray our current expenses
room rents, newspapers, gas, and Librarians sal
airy.
During the past year we have not had the means
OF purchasing one volume, though to our own
Library four hundred and eighty-four volumes
have been added by gift. The expense of tbs
gallery for the Green Library was about $500, OF
which amount DR. Green generously paid $3.50
and the Association the balance.
We now owe $500; we need money to carry
| out the work We have begun. We appeal to you
for aid Let not our appeal be IN Uail.
| Educated men, you know the value of that in.
| formation which we would seek to place in the
power of all. viii not y0W contribute literally
to that end? Those of you who have felt lthe
want of the advantages of early education, ibu
whose energy and talent have enabled you to CIV.
ereome this obstacle and gained for you wealth
| and influence, it would be injustice to you t.
doubt your readiness at once to generously give.
| And OF those of limited means, we ask each one
according to his ability to subscribe.
NO city IN this state has been of late years sc
| prospered as our own, none has so rapidly in
creased in population and wealth, but other citie
are far III advance of us in their public Libraries
Let there an effort be made to place us in thi
matter in the front rank
Other places and other causes maylhaye thei
claims, but none should prevent your contribu
tons to this. All funds are securely invested b,
Trustees. The officers of the Association arr
citizens well known TO you.
Let then your subscriptions show that you hayt

TO the Citizens of Worcester The recent
union of the Worcester Lyceum and the Young
Mems Library Association, renders this an appro-
pirate time for atfording you information in rela.
ton 10 the present situation and future prospects
of said Association.
Believing that great advantages would result to
our citizens, and especially to our young men,
from the establishment of a Library and Reading
Room that should be easy of access TO ALL a num-
Der of the young men of our city associated them
selves together for that purpose in the fall OF
1902, aud early in the year 1853 procured an Act
OF incorporation, under the name of the Young
Mems Library Association, " for the purpose OF
diifusing and promoting knowledge among the
inhabitants of the city of Worcester"
This Association at once commenced its Libra
ry, and also opened Reading Room for the ben
ett OF its members from limited subscriptions OF
money, and from various liberal donations of
books, its Library has increased till it contains
forty five hundred volumes, not including the Ly-
ceum Library nor the collection of DR.. John
Green.
In 1855 an arrangement was made whereby the
Rhetorical Society, composed of some OF our most
intelligent young mechanics, and Others which
had been established for some years, for the inn.
proyement Of its members in composition and de.
elamation, became connected with the Associa.
ton.
A department OF Natural History has been GRE
ated, and the collection of the Worcester Natu.
raj History Society has been transferred from the
American Antiquarian Society to our charge,
and considerable additions made.
BY an act of the last Legislature, the Worces.
ter Lyeeum, an Association originally organized
many years since, and having Library Of several
hundred volumes, has been united with the Young
Mems Library Association DR.. John Green has,
with great liberality during the last winter placed
IN our charge, for the use Of the Association, his
most valuable and well selected private library of
ABOUT forty five hundred volumes, which has been
~'fTSthgedi in new gallery constructed by us.

A Row AT WHEATLAND.-G Wise.
Senator Douglas, John Slidell, and other mem
bers Of the slave propaganda, have been at
Wheatland. 1t is understood that Mr.. Blu
ehanan's constitutional timidity prevented
him from acceding to the imperious sugges-
tons, or rather, demands, of Wise. The i'm
mense majorities cast against him at the North,
have made SO deep an impression as to cause
him to shrink from the extreme measures thew
propose to him. This hesitation has excited
the ire of his Virginia super aristocratic high
ness. the illustrious. and immaculate WISE
Shdell, more courtly, but not the less danger
Gus, strove to attain the same end. Even
backed by Douglas, they could not extort a
negative or an affirmative from the president
elect They succeeded in frightening him very
much, but this very effect produced such ex-
IRENE nervousness, that all will, courage, and
resolution, had departed from him.
This FIVE thousand-do per-nigger Mr..
Wise thereupon few into tremendous pas
sion, left in high dudgeon, refusing to eat q
Thanksgiving dinner at Wheatand. He and
Slidell evidently prefer Virginia corn cake and
bacon, to Pennsylvania buckwheat and tur-
key Philadelphia Times.
