The finest libraries in the State, and proba-
bly, in The south. Ii is not the number OF

the character OF the books in its cases,
which cover history, art, science, mechan-
les, literature, and everything designed to
improve and impqrt inst uction 10 the mind.

ton Of two cases OF the latest publications

present month has been remarkably good,
and the rate OF mortality is reported as much
below that OF the summer months.
