LIBRARY MEETIN G.-We regret to
learn that the Board of Directors of
the Evansville Library Association
have not met with the encouragement
they were entitled to receive in their
efforts to places itsnpon a more pros
porous founda$ion, !, At their last
meeting, a few evening age. it was
determined to call a meeting Of the
Stock holders to take into considera-
ZION the condition of the Association,
and decide whe herthey will wipe out
the Ella debts and thus give il new

SocIABLE AT TRIsIrY CHURoH.-
Owing to the unpleasant condition of
the streets the attendance at the So
ciable at the Trinity NJ. E. Church
last night was not as large as on other
occasions, but it was indeed a most
pleasing and agreeable entertainment.
The fair ladies, under whose direction
these Sociables are given, spare no
pains or trouble to make all who at
tend feel that they are welcome, aud
if bright smiles and kind words have
an influence to make one happy and
drive dull care away, none who at
tended last night went away without
carrying with them light heart and
happier. frame of mind. A more
pleasant place could not be found
than at these Sociables. The re-
freshments, were such as the ladies of
Trinity know well how to prepare,
and were partaken of with good
relish
