LIBRARY AssoClATIoN.-A gentle
man OF this city who appreciates the neces-
sity which exists for intellectual improve
ment and the advantages which well
stocked library affords, proposes to give
fifty volumes Of valuable works, worth at
least one hundred dollars, from his own
private collection, to library association, if
the young men Of Richmond will start such
an organization. We have no doubt there
are many other gentlemen in the city who
would make similar valuable contributions
if they saw an earnest desire to utilize such
fayors. We have several times urged the
necessity ofsuch an association in our city.
1t would be powerful agency for wide
spread good, and its rooms would consti-
tute very successful rival of the vicious
places in which many of our young men
now coDgregate nightly.

Closing of Our Schools

the different schools of Bolivar closed
their spring sessions last week, tho ez>
animation of the scholars invariably met
the approval Of both visitors and teach
ers.
In oar last issue We spoke Of the eon>
cert given " Miss Laura Robertson and
her class ia music at the Female Academy,
aud now proceed to refer in brief to thus
given by the teachers at St james
Church School, in which their pupils ex-
hibited degree of culture and advance
ment seldom if ever exceIled. The room
was entirely too small 30 Accommodate
one-half of those who witnessed the ex~
hibition and not large enough to admit
the crowd assembled, unless packed in
like so much cord wood. Here, it was
with as as it was at the Female Academy
on the night previous-we got in and
then got out on account of the pressure
and did not have an opportunity of en-
jOying the rich tableauxs and charming
music, but as We stood out in the dark
with eighteen inches of brick and mortar
between Us and the beautifully decorated
statge and charming amateurs listen>
ing with all the ears we had, we knew
from the way in which each piece was
rendered or put on the stage that Mrs
Kendall and her pupils were delighting
the Fortunate ones who were inside and
we took it good unturedIy though it was
mighty hard to bear, and more than once,
as the shouts of applause drowned the
last notes Of some rare old gem from the
Dreamer's soul or tho curtain shut of an
enchanting scene, we looked at the par
TALLY completed walls of the new school
edifce and rejOiced to think that it would
not always be thus. OF course we cam
not particularize, but we mean What we
Say VIXEN We put it on record that both
the teachers and scholars acquitted them
selves to the entire satisfaction of all.
Hubbard's exhibitions at the court
house FridaY and saturday nights were
far in advance of any thing we have had
from him since our stay in Bolivar, and
the power and control he has over ais
school certainly entities him to front
seal among the hard working teachers in
oar midstor any where else. Here. we
were in iuck-got seat-aud can speak
by the card. The boys, as a general
thing, we're we'll trained for the occasions,
and did well, while the girls and young
ladies who volunteered their assistance,
acted their parts in keeping with more
experience and older heads. Where all
did so well, it is useless to mention names,
and it only remains for US to say that we
hope the schools of Bolivar may achieve
as much in the future as tn y have 10 the
past; if they do, then no one siu com
plain but all must accord to them high
merit and rapid advaheemeut. It's un-
animousIy agreed that the concerts and
exhibitions were, individually and co.'s
! lectiYely, a success.
