E1- Our Library Association, we are
happy TO say, promises to become one
Of the permanent Institutions Of our
growing town. The literary part of the
design Of the Association has thus far
been very successful. The debates have
been ably conducted, eliciting always
"a crowded attendance, and decided ex-
preston Of general interest.
The Society are now prepared to re-
eciSe and acknowledge all donations of
books, and it is to be hoped that the peo-
pie Of this vicinity will not be backward
in contributing. A donation of five dol
lars in money, or its equivalent in books,
entities the donor to an honorary men,
bership. and We hope to have the privi-
)egc Of seeing that list pretty extended
one. There has been considerable num-
Der of works promised, and in connec-
ton with the funds already in the hands
Of the Trcasnrcy, and the admirable cx-
ertions made by the ladies of the Associ-
alton, We haze every reason to believe
that We shall start with quite respecta-
BILE number of y0lumes.
The ladies ;stead giving tea party

age such matters successfully when they
make the attempt, we think it will be for
the interest of the people in this vicinity

THE sENAToRsH1P IN PENNSYLVANIA

The excitement created by the uncx-
pected result of the L. S. Senatorial cleo
lion, has not materially abatcd at Harris
burg. Indeed it has been in some res
poets aggravated by the insane conduct
of the defeated infuriates. The extrava-
giant and vulgar vituperation of the Key
stone Club meeting in this city has also
had its effect, and has confirmed the
--j--.-y - .i--:-- -~-s--;nt;ons that they
have done right in defeating the nominee
of Mr.. Buchanan and the Democratic
caucus. Threats of violence from the
keystone Club, as well as from some of
the hangcrs-on at Harrisburg, were made
against the Democratic members who
voted for Gen. Cameron, and such threats
against one of them went so far, that he
quietly procured a six-barrel revolver,
loaded it, and placed it in his breast,
since which time lie has been entirely
unmolested. 1t is said to have been as
tonishing to see how quickly fury was
Gained down by this evidence of deter
mination and preparation for an emer-
gency, on the part of the gentlemen in
ques,ion.-Phaa. Bulletia.
