From Thursdays Daily.
Our Library.
AT the annual meeting Of the Libra
ry Association, at their rooms, Tues.
day evening, arrangements were
made for keeping the Library open
AZ usual, except evenings, for the
coming year. Will our friends now
come forward and help us out by
renewing expired subscriptions, and
thus enable us to pay off the indebt-
edness and relieve all anxiety as to
the future of this valuable institution.
Sevonty-tive subscriptions for one
year, at $500 each, will set us out of
our financial difficulties. Now, let
us all pull together and keep it alive.
Go at once and take out a subscrip-
ton. SAM. MAHoN, President.
The Woodward case was decided,
this morning, by Esq. Riordan, hold
ing the old man to answer to the Dis
trrict Court in the sum of 5000 on
the charge Of larceny and siding and
abstting stealing generally, in de-
fault of which he was remanded to
Jail.
In the case of the boys the informa-
tion was defective in some particular
and they were discharged, but anoth-
er information was immediately filed.
The time for trial has not yet been
determined upon. Let us hope that
this action on the part of the author
tiles Of the law will have the effect to
curtail If not break up the petty
stealing that has been going ON around
this city for the last year or two, and
that the hens and ROSTERS may only
be beheaded by their lawful owners.
