MADISON CoUNTY.-The Union says 3
daughter Of J. E. Ward, of that county,
was so severely burned on Tuesday of last
week, by her clothes accidentally taking
ire, that there is but little hope of her re-
eovery.
The same paper says:
The Jury, after a session of four days, re-
ported Sirty-tliree indictments found-au
Tor selling liquor contrary to law. With
that numbe of indictments On docket the
prospect for increasing the common school
fund By fines collected is pretty fair.
The religious revival which we last
week noticed as being in progress at the
M. Z. Church in this place still continues.
The number OF persons who have united
with the church up TO this date is one hun
dred, while numbers crowd the altar every
meeting. The religious interest is not con-
fined to this church alone, but is partici-
pated in by the other denominations.
Fourteen eo1ored persons were baptized
by immersion in the creek south Of town,
on last abbath. We learn that number
more will be baptized at the same place
next Sabbath.

The Public Library.

We publish with pleasure o. C.'s commune
cation on this important subject On single
point word of explanation seems to be requir-
ed 1t is not proposed, as o. G. fears, to form
an expensive collection of works of art curl
osities, &c, &C., but as we understand it. to-
open an exhibition room and take charge of
such paintings, statuary, &C., as may be pre-
scented to the association, or forwarded for ex-
hibition merely That such room would be
worthy adjunct to the library cannot be
doubted. Its usefulness in forming the public
taste and its advantage in the way of introduce
ing artists to the public, cannot be gainsaid
As this gallery, however, is to be entirely sub
ordinate to the library, there appears to be no
necessity for recognizing it in the name of the
institution. There will undoubtedly be col
lection of maps and charts in the library !; but
it need not therefore be called geographical
institute and public library"

is rapidly approaching, and it is becoming
serious question how women and children

them?
Is there any reason why the street cars
should not run at meeting time, on Sundays
One or two trips just before and just after the
various services would certainly be profitable.
As to the moral objection, the question seems to
be, whether it is better to arrange with drivers
and conductors to perfol m this service, which
would probably prevent them from attending
church, or to condemn very large proportion
of the church going public to remain at home.
This question is easily answered, and indeed
has been practically answered already ny

, THE Ep1ToR OF THE PRESS

To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS:
SIR:-I am glad that this question is in a
measure open for public discussion. 1t is an
interesting and important subject to all classes
of our citize ns-much more SO to the masses,
than to the public spirited gentlemen who have
met from time to consider il. The former need
such facilities for information more than the
latter, and yet it is upon these latter that the
success of the enterprise must depend.
1t seems to me matter of regret, as Obstruct-
ing the movement, that the original question
should have become complicated with projects
of less Importance Our city can do quite well
without gallery of art or a cabinet of curl
osities," while Public Library is now neces-
sity, and its continued non-existence is certain
| ly municipal reproach.
1t is not my object to under value at all the
benefits to be derived from the other proposed
institutions; but let us secure the Necessity
before we attempt to attain to what may in this
connection be termed Luxury The gallery
of art" &C., to be sure, would be source OF To-
cal pride. and of value to all of educated and
refined tastes; but the Library will be sub
iect for public congratulation, and of value to
all our citizens. If uniting the two projects
will better secure the Library, by all means let
them go hand in hand. But gallery of art,
to be even respectable, will cost as much as a
Library, even surprising our present wants.
And we are not sure as yet of enough for eth
er.
But whatever conclusion may be reached up
on the above point, let the Institution" be
PUBLIC. If gentlemen of wealth see fit to con-
tribute to some such general object, of course
they will fix the conditions of their gifts. But
anything less than an institution essentially
FREE and PUBLIC in its character will fall far
short of the hopes Of the people and cease to
enlist general interest and sympathy. The va
rious existing Library associations have been
of incalculable value to our community, but
the very nature of their organization tended to
limit and even counterfeit their opportunities
for usefulness. u5tsstL
A PUBLIC institution will secure contribu-
tons from OH citizens to an extent which no
other will obtain; and through city aid, and
the instrumentality of Fairs and Lectures, un-
der its auspices and for its exclusive benefit,
may very soon exist-the Pride of Portland;
of practical value to the poor, as well as to the
rich of our populations comfort and bless
ing to ALL &C.

Facts and Figures.

In its effort to belittle the circulation and ad-
vertising of the Argus, the Press displayed less
of that arrogant self suficiency which has
becoming modesty which it should learn to ex-
hibit. 1t has hauled down that brazen, brag-
CART line which so long disfgured the head Of
its columns; it has ceased to issue those Sup
plements to the Press" which were so common
q while since and SO well calculated to impose
the idea of Cuisines" upon the ignorant; and
is has even put down its advertising receipts
for the last quarter considerably below what
we should have set them at, and considerably
below what were the actual receipts of the Ar
gus.-Argus, 2Sth.
We have made no effort to belittle the circu-
lation and advertising of the Argus. Our neigh
Dor challenged comparison, saying in SO many
words, 'The circulation and the advertising

TAXABLE ADVERTISING RECEIPTS.

Readers will bear in mind that these returns
are sworn to be correct The difference for the
last year is $7072, in our favor. 1t strikes us
that this is not putting down our receipts "con-
siderably below the actual receipts of the Ar
gus" Our receipts for the present quarter bid
fair to exceed those of any other quarter since
the paper has been published, by more than
$1,000. We hope our neighbor is equally for
tunate. There is really no rivalry between us.
The Argus depends upon Democratic patron
age, The Press is supported by Republicans;
and the Republicans are in a majority. 1t is
of no use to deny plain facts. The intimation of
tho Argus thatwe publish advertisements after
their time has expired, is hardly worth notice.
We have been obliged for weeks together to
leave out from one to two columns of paying
advertisements daily. .a u. -r. b u
