effective in the advancement Of intel
lectual culture, and intellectual culture
10 an eminent degree, is beneficial to any
community. Man, from the cradle to
the grave, must be considered as under~
going process of preparation, to tit
him for that Culture state" to which it
is his duty TO seek to attain. Whats
ever his powers and faculties of mind
are, bestowed as they are by the hand
of a muuifcent God, it becomes his
duty to leave nothing undone by way OF
cultivation and improvement. 1t
is this desire for intellectual improves
ment that characterizes man, markes
him the superior creation, and thor>
oughly attests the Immortality of his
soul. BY the cultivation and expansion
of his mind to more enlarged concepN
tions of the order and beauty of the
universe, it becomes a real addition to
the sum of his human happiues, ard
in giving him just appreciation of
the attributes of the Supreme Being,
and acquaiuts him with his own high
destiny.
1t strengthens his mind, enables
him to to resist temptation, raises it
above the grosser passions, and elevates
him to the true standard of his intel>
lectual and moral being.
We live in progressive age, one
that has undoubtedly witnessed the most
splendid achievements of mind over
matter. We stand as it we're, under the
wide expanse of heaven, by the bedside
Of . world just awakening from ages oi
uudisturbed slumber.
Shall we remain passive while the
great world presses onward around us
No! Let ne ipe up and doing. "The
sturdy oak from the little acorn grows, u
so from our little "Reading Room
may great and beneficial results eventu'
ate; through the best periodicals Of the
day we may gather much knowl~
edge, food for thought, and acquaint
ourselves with the best literature of the
day.
appeal to those interested in the
welfare of this town, can they not real-
ize the benefit to be derived from an
institution of this kind, the diffusion Of
knowledge, aud general good resulting
from such q measure? Like little
spring in the disert moistening the
parched tongues of men, so can this be
like moisture to the parched minds Of
many.
Let us begin in an humble way, not
attempting too great things at once, but
let the effort be made. Don't sit down
despondiugly and cry out to Hercules ere
we put our shoulders to the wheel.
The expenses, I feel confident, can
be put at one hundred aud fifty dollars
a year, including ten Of the best pe>
riodicals, furniture, room, rent, fuel,
&c.
I know the influence the "press"
wields in any town or community, ami
recognizing them as leaders in matters
in this kind 1 appeal to the gentlemen
of our "press" here, to take the initia>
tory step in this Instance, to call through
the columns of their paper, general
meeting at the Town Hall, to discuss
more fully this important matter. Let
US take this matter fully in hand and
not leave it until We have given it a
fair trial.
LET us then be up and doing,
With heart for any fate;
Sill achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait"

BowEN's CASE IN CoNGREss.-The
Washington correspondent of the Provi-
dence Journal says:
The narrow escape of Congressman
Bowen from conviction Of ofbigamy creates
quito stir in the House, and there
is very strong impression there, as it
seems there was on the minds of the
jury, that he is not only guilty of
bigamy, but of bribing a man to perjure
himself, SO that Bowen might escape
punishment. There is talk among
some members of the House of an at
tempt to expel him from the House, not
on the charge of bigamy, but for things
which he admitted during the trial,
but the session is so short that the sub
ject will probably be allowed to pass.

estate circles, consequently the auction sales yes

proved lots, well situated on the line OF improve

perty, in consequence OF the decline In rents is no,
