The Library Assooiation.-The move
m ment to establish Library Association here
progresses slowly, but the want of such an
institution is felt So deeply aud thoroughly
that there is no thought Of giving up the
original plan. There is large class of our
people who have taste for reading and yet
have not the means to keep up private librar-
les. These will support the association liber
ally by money and what is still better by
ceiling and showing an interest in it and
giving it the aid of their influence. 1t is not
expected 10 start with very large collection
of books or of a very fine libraryroom. but il
the association is once fairly established on a
permanent basis those of our substantial
citizens who have opposed the movement
this winter. because they believed it would
prove a failure, will come to its assistance.
The Directors at their last meeting decided
to tup first class reading room, at once and
urnish it with the best papers and msga-
zines published in the country. The papers
aad magazines have already been ordered, and
the READING Roox will be opened some time
next week. The Library room has been va
Gated by DR.. Wilmer, and will soon be
fitted up for the use of the library. Neat
cases are ready for use already, and
many books of the You've MEN's Lyceum
Library, have been collected aud are already
on the shelves. Meantime friends can render
valuable aid to the Directors by sending tc
the Librarian all books belonging to Young
Mems Lyceum and by DONATIONS OF BOOKS
AS soon as the Reading Room is living in
stitution thorough canvass will be made o
the town and every individual ,oil be asked
to do something to help on the good cause
