MINOR MATTERS.
The managers Public Library busy perfectng
scheme for the establishment Of branches IN different
remote parts Of the city East Boston is cut of from the
peninsula by its wretched ferry Accommodations that
only in twenysx of its inhabitants against about
eight in the city proper takes books from the
Central Library. The first branch will therefore probably
be established at East Boston, and others will follow at
South Boston, Roxbury and Dorchester The Trustees OF
tho institution FESTIVE under the criticism that the
stctons OF red tape hamper the freedom OF the Library
They earnestly desire to give every liberty consistent
with safety and order They have placed outside the
entrance OF the building inviting shields inscribed open
TO an and bound to do all they can to keep their
books in the hands Of the people.

appeared in the public prints respecting the engage
ment of one Of the young ladies employed there to
marry member Of the English nobility, who has gone
home TO prepare for the nupals There is substantial
foundation OF truth in the tale which may be correctly
told some day; but II is sad commentary on Boston
manners that the young lady in question has been SO
assaed In the discharge of her duty by mpertnent curl
osity people I'm great numbers coming in simply to stare
at her. that she has been transferred to the secluded worn
of the inner rooms TO evade the siege.
