THE GYMSAslUM.-Th effort now making
by the young men of this community to es-
tablish gymnasium, is u move III the right
direction We trust it may meet with the
most complete success. The culture of the
physical man is certainly second to the cul-
tivation of the moral and mental being, but
it is second only y to them. 10 the confined
merchant professional man, clerk, student
or operative, couple of hours daily exer-
oise in the Gymnasium would be invaluable
sources at once of health and pleasure. A
meeting to promote the establishment of a
Gymnasium will be held tonight, at the
rooms of the Young Mems Christian Assocla-
ton, and we hope full attendance may tes-
tily the public appreciation of the enterprise.
