 A Severe Censure We noticed in one of our exchanges the severe censure resting upon the son of one Of our townspeople, in consequence of pecunialy endorsements recently made public.

 Those Books.-The Salisbury Library association have taken under their fostering care and protection, the really valuable books belonging to the old Smith and Bing- ham libraries, that the moths, must and vandals have left, and covered them neatly and uniformly with the new books recently purchased by them. Some of the sets are broken and incomplete, ,and probably many of your readers will find odd volumes stored away in their book cases. We wish every one interested would make an examination and return any copies they may find to Ed. ward Bartram, our librarian.
 Respectfully.
