The STATE LIBRARY.-The brief report of j.
T. Woodward, State Librarian, shows that
whatever exlravagances the State may indulge
in, books are not among them. Since April of
last year, when Mr.. Woodward became Libra
rian, the expenditure for books and for incl
dental expenses has been $79122. Eight hun
dred and seventy-four books and pamphlets
have been added during Mr.. Woodward's ad-
ministration. The policy adopeed in making
additions 70 the library is not SO much to OBJ
tain large number of works as to secure COM
plete sets of the best authors. Special atten-
tion has been given to fulness in the DEPART
ment of law, and exchanges of reports with
Southern States, which were interrupted by
the war, have in nearly all cases been resumed.
The donations of books have been about the
same as in former years, with the exception Cf
the gift of 90 volumes of Congressional docu-
ments from Senator Morrill,, which are of great
value in completing sets. The Librarian
strongly recommends, as his predecessors have
done. a suitable enclosure of the alcoves in or
der to prevent loss OF books, eight having been
lost during the past year. No definite appro-
priation for the library is asked, but Mr.. Wood
ward thinks it ought to be as liberal as is con-
sistent with the demands upon the Treasury
OF the State. Appended to the report is list

SEVERE AccrpENT.-Saturday evening as
Mrs. Murray, pastry cook at the Albion House,
was passing Deering Hall, she slipped and fell
on the sidewalk breaking both bones of the
left ankle. She, was taken into one of the
shops and afterwards conveyed home where
she was attended to by Drs. Robinson and
Small. 1T is unfortunate for her as in all
probability it will be year before she will be
able to move about and do work. She will be
carefully attended to in the mean time.

REAL. ESTATE CoSvEYANcRs.-An item has
gone the rounds of the city papers to the effect
that but 18 soarrGnty deeds of real estate IN
Portland were entered at the Registry of Deeds
during January, 1869, and, although the state
ment is strictly correct, many persons have re-
ceived wrong impression by carelessly read
ing it.
The whole truth is, that while but 18 war
ranty deeds of real estate in Portland were en-
tered, the number of conveyances of that kind
for the whole County was 12O; and the whole
number of instruments of all kinds for the
whole County 313. The number Of warranty
deeds entered from Portland in January, 1866,
was q; in 1867, 40; in 1868, %; in 1869, 1s.
The whole number from the County in
January, 1885, was 127; in 1867, 141; in 1868,
100; IN 1869, 129. The whole number of entries
of all kinds for the County in January, 1866,
was $40; in 1867, 1923; in 1868, s42; 1869, 31S.
The whole number of entries of all kinds of
instruments for the whole County in the year
1866 was about 5000; in 1867, about 5000; in
1863 about 1850. .ra

The Reported Obstruction by n Vessel

The Reported Obstruction by a Vessel.
Mr. LANCE, the representative OF the Suez Canal in
England, refers to the report OF a Liverpool firm
which stated that an Egyptian corvette had stuck
fast in the canal. Mr.. Lange explains that the cor
vette was proceeding for experimental purposes as
to draught and speed, and the Canal Company have
since been at work to remove irregularities. The
result s that the navigation will be opened on the
18th November to all vessels, without distinction OF
nationality, provided that they do not draw more
than twenty -four feet seven inches English.
The canal is consequently equal to twenty-sx and
O quarter English feet depth.
