 Reading Room.--The reading room a the Warner House in this place is largel. patronized, and the various journals of tn day are in almost constant use. The younl men are quiet and orderly, using the room not for loafing place, but for place fo
 reading. The room is well lighted and i
 very cheerful, and we thlnk will prove l.
 be one of the most valuable institutions o
 our town. With this opportunity to knoy the news, many who did not have chanc , to read as much as they perhaps would lik to, will form the habit of reading, and dt sire and appetite for the news of the worl
 will be created within them, and they wi
 become better informed, more intelliger
 and in every respect better citizens. Ever village ought to have reading room. It t only next in importance to the publ v school.

 be difficult matter to find better soprar = in this region than Mrs. J. l.. Camp, al Ter rendering of the solo In the anthem last Sunday was admirable. The Episcop C church ID this place is fortunate in posses f ing such rare musical talent as is represen 8 ed by the two mentioned above.

 little to the music for the occasion. La
