The library committee have, for want of
funds at their disposal, been unable to add
as many new books to the library as is de-
sirable. For the past three years it has
been found necessary to use all available
funds for repairs on the building, and in
order to thus preserve the property of the
association our library has been greatly
neglected. This difficulty, we now trust,
has been overcome the building is in eX-
cellent condition, and for the next two or
three years we see no reason why the libra
ry cannot be literally replenshed with
new books. In order that this desirable
result may be accomplished it is necessary
that our citizens literally patronize the as
ISOLATION by purchasing membership tickets.
The officers of the association are enabled
to replenish the library or add repairs to
the building only so far as our citizens are
disposed TO contribute to the support of the
| association.
| The library committee report that 90 vol
umes have been added by purchase 80
volumes have been added by binding maya
zines and reviews, and 80 volumes of public
documents have been donated, making SO
volumes added during the year 60 vol.
umes have been rebound three book
have been lost, two of which have been
paid for the number drawn from the
library has been daily average of 81 vol
umes the whole number of volumes now
in the library is 3,3l6.
The Lecture Committee report the
course of lectures for the past season as the
most successful one, financially, that the
association has ever had. The chairman in
his report says; The Rev. G. Ii. Hub.
bard and Chas. NJ. Bliss, ESQ.,, very mag
unanimously donated their lectures to the
association, and inasnuch as these gentle
men delighted our lecture-goers with dis
courses as able and interesting as any

doubt that you will join with me in return
if those having charge of future lecture
courses before the association will engage
more tome and less foreign talent oul
lecture course can be made as fully inter
esting and instructive to our citizens, ant
far more profitable to the association
In concluding this report, tender thanks
to my associates in office, and especially tt
the chairman of the several committees fol
the very satisfactory manner in which they
have discharged their duties, for to then
belong the praise Of whatever success hal
been made in the affairs of the ASSOCIATION
during the past year; and to our citzen
for their liberal support, trusting that thu
latter will feel it not only duty but
pleasure to be still more liberal in the
support OF this association.
Respectfully submitted,

The most entertaining feature of tn,
days transactions, occurred in the evening
when in response to an invitation rendered
to the "defeated ones" and other friend
they assembled at the residence of the pres
ident elect, where, alter few moment
spent in exchanging congratulations, tn
assembled ones sat down to a table spreat
in the style for which Mrs. Wood is so wei
noted. To say that the table groaned un
der the abundant feast spread there
on, will not express it, yet we must b
content with the expression; ample justic
was done to all the good things supplied
and among those who appeared to relish
the most was defeated candidate for man
ager, who, forgetting his Disappointment
appeared to enjoy the affair as much a
any one. The party separated an earl
hour, all expressing pleasure with the mar
ner in which they had been entertained b
the generous and hospitablc president eleo
and his wife.
