EVERY we'll regulated community has
some means of selfpreservation. Good.
society is growth; it is scarcely condi-
ton, or result, but rather an activity
something taking aliment and gaining
strength, constantly by reason of the nour-
ishmcnt which it receives. The young
minds of this community have been fed
and strengthened very much during the
last year by their free access to that men
tai store-house-The Reading Room.
Very great good has resulted to all
classes, from its establishment and the
use Of means SO generally needed should
never be abandoned. No object of public
importance appeals for aid with greater
justice, or with more cogency than does
this one, and every citizen should feel
that in some degree he is responsible for
its maintenance. Were the means for its
support commensurate with the good
which it accomplishes its perpetuity we're
assured. ]. -

w. W. Coles Circus, which performed
here last Tuesday, was one of the best
that We have ever seen. The display of
animals was very fine. The collection
embraced large variety, some of which
were exceedingly beautiful. The eques-
TRAN performances were Of the highest
order-cxhibiting wonderful skill, and
rare physical qualities. The gymnastics
excited, both mcrriment and wonder. The
whole show was characterized by far
more scientific attainment, and infinitely
less of coarseness and vulgarity than any
other which las ever exhibited in this
city. Many of its features are elevating
and pure, and none of them have a de-
basing tendency.
