 The parlor concert given at the Rec. tory on Monday evening was decided success. about $6O being raised to- ward an Episcopal chapel in Pleasant Valley. by admissions and contributions. The music was of high order. Mrs. Vessels sang four songs in her usual ex- cellent style, one of Rubenstein's striking us as particularly beautiful. The se- lection from Bach for two violins and piano wac enthusiastically played and greatly admired by those who enjoy the nearly obsolete style of the old master. A delightful minust from a sonata of Beethoven's for violin and piano. was one of the best numbers of the program and very neatly played throughout. The whole second part was occupied by Mendel- ssohn's magnificent Trio in D minor. with which the performers struggled manfully, and with varlous success, the piano being excellent and the violin good. Mr. Daniels piano playing was, as usual. striking. Iy brilliant and strikinglY correct; judi. cious use of the forte covering many shortcomings of the strings.
 The meeting of the Circulating Libra ry Association, notice of which is given in another column. is one of really decisive importance to tue welfare of that popular public enterprise. Until the repair of the Town Room, their library was kept in two or three cas- l es and sort of caboose that was u good deal more useful than ornamental, in that hall. Since the re-fooring, re-pillaring and re.paintinR of the Town Room the town authorities have objected. and very properly we feel bound to acknowledge, to having it dis6gured by such constructions as have hitherto held the books of the li- brary, the use of the present cases be. ing out of the question. The next point to be asoertained would seem to be wheth- CT the town will allow suitable book cases, neatly built, in uniform style, and painted in colors similar to those of the rest of the room, to occupy places on the sdes of the hall; and will also allow the use of the room for the delivery and return of books for 6 few hours each week or fortnight There is some objec. ton even to this arrangement, and if there is danger that the library association. even after building new cases, may be compell- ed to remove them. it would seem better to have the question settled by special town meeting before expense is incurred. One great difficulty is the short time in which this question must be decided. The books must be removed from the court lobby before the first Tuesday in September, and no place is yet prepared for their reception. Every library mem- Der should attend this meeting.
