MERCANTILE LIBRARY.-The Mercantile Ii
brary rooms, in Egyptian Block, contain many
fine volumes of reference, and standard works
of great value. Among the former is COM
plete set of the American Encyclopaedia, Pres
colts History, &C., Waverly Novels and many
other works of a kindred nat ure.
The Reviews claim much attention. as
they were hard to obtain in Cairo. The Quar-
terly, Blackwood, North British, North Amer.
lean and London grace the shelves while the
first home and foreign Magazines claim an inter
ested view from the tasteful reader. A file of
many newspapers is also kept on hand-the
TINES holding creditable place thereon It
IS, we understand, intended to move the insti
tuition to more central locality, where the
families OF the members may obtain books and
reading matter to read at the rooms, or to take
TO their homes. Strangers visiting the CITY are
cordially invited to the rooms, and to the unoc
cupied stranger nothing more attractive could
be offered. While to the manufacturer or lit
craft the Library is invaluable.
The citizens ought to take strong interest
in this institution, for in such lies much and
great elevation in ability and character of our
people.
