GKSrLKNES You will Immediately be
called together by the Secretary to elect off,
ders and Directors for the ensuing year.
The reports of the Secretary, Treasurer and
Librarian arc as yet not quite ready, or it
would be proper for me now to lay an en-
bodiment Of them in form Of my own report
before you. that you might have time before
the annual election due on next Monday, for
reflection and consultation on the present
condition and requirements Of the institu
ton, and the proper selection Of managers
for the year to come.
To the libcrality Of your subscriptions our
town is greatly indebted to this library and
reading room as one of its chief attractions to
both residents and strangers, and as pleas
ant resort for youth and young men who pre-
fer the amenities Of literature and the i'm
provement ofthe mind to the specious allure
ments of vice and dissipation 40 thickly
spread around them. I pray you, for oil our
sakes, but especially for the sake of the young
that the Library and Reading Room may
yet find your hearty support.
The affairs of the Association have been
harmoniously and successfully managed fol
the past year. but there has been too little
done, for which neglect I, more than any one
else, am to blame. The other arduous dutie:
of many of the officers and directors have lef
them too little time for their official duties Il
the Association.
For myself, you have successfully chosen
me to the first Office since its organization
Other duties, especially for the past half year
have made it impossible that should faith
fully serve the Association in this capacity
and whilst thank you for the repeated ia
vor, desire TO be relieved oft, and that i
NAV be devolved on some one with NOR
leisure and ability for the performance of it
duties. Very respectfully.

tsS- A dreadful asci ent recently occurred
at York, Pa. A girl, about sixteen years Of
age, took fire from the explosion ofa fluid
lamp. She ran out into the street, where
two gentlemen came to her rescue, anu tore
the burning clothing from her body. From
her knees to her head her flesh was complete
ly black and covered with blstc.s. Her
eyes were so much injured that she could not
see, and her tongue protruded from her
mouth. Thirty hours after the accident she
died in terrible agony.

peiate Shooting aifray occurred here to-day.
Dr. John w. Davis, a prominent citizen,
was shot down by two German Jewa.
named Odenhammer, and is not expected
to live.
One Of the o Odenhammer's had his skull
fractured. Great exists among
the citizens in consequences, and an appli-
cation Of lynch-law is spoken Of.
WAsnIHdroS. July 23--OAicial dis

ST. LOUIS, July 23.--The Salt Lake
mail with dates to the End inst, arrived at
Leavenworth on the 18th, making the trip
in fifteen days.
The affairs of the Territory were in ~
peaceable condition, and general prosper
ity prevailed. Rumors OF the Utah ex-
pedition had reached Salt Lake and nt-
tracted but little attention. The emigrant
trains were progressing rapidly. Grass
was abundant and the Indians friendly.
Public charges of official dishonesty are
made against the Surveyor General.
The assistants of Burr have published
sworn statements accusing him of report
ing and pocketing money for work never
done, Withholding pay from his assistants
and appropriaLing it to himself, neglecting
to mark surveys, reporting to the Govern
yuert that the posts have been removed
by the Mormons, and other serious mis-
demeanors.
SuGAR-The crop Of sugar in Porto
Rico is a million pounds more this year
than it was in 1856, molasses two hundred
and twenty thousand gallons more, coffee
three hundred thousand pounds more
This increase, with that in Louisiana and
the immense quantities of maple sugar
made in the North, must lower the price
to consumers within the next year, The
Louisiana sugar crop promises to yield
two hundred and fifty thousand to three
hundred thousand hogsheads the present
year, against seventy eight thousand last
year. Glad to hear that the price of sweet
ening is likely to come down.
