To the truth OF the above Mr.. Barlow
made the usual ironclad affirmation.
The amount OF debts thus owed by Mr.
BsrIow, for which he claimed exemption
from taxation on all his personal property
showed an actual deficit OF ~, $50 in his
financial status on his st. Adams list. Mr..
Barlow at this time stated TO the listers
that this amount ts3i2, 300 was not half OF
what he owed.
II said that Mr. Barlow, finding this
statement injurious 10 his credit. decided
not 10 make ont list the second year. In

The increase of reading, other than fc
tion, has been q per cent. greater during
the year just closed than during the precel
ing year. This is improvement in the
right direction and we confidently trust il
will continue.
We have many Germans in our town,
the elder portion of whom are unable 10
read the English language. We deemed
il proper TO provide books which they
conld read, and purchased 1853 volumes
printed in the German language. We hope
they will not he neglected.
We increased the compensation of Miss
Hulburd Tor her services rs librarian and
use OF her rooms TO the sum of S225 per
year.
The operations OF the library have been,
thus far, harmonious and satisfactory and
it evidently commands, and is growing in
the confidence and kind regards of our
people. 1t is an instrumenlality for great
good and we trust our citizens will continue
to cherish it and do whatever they can 10
disseminate it's blessings.
Probably no other class of our citizens
derives greater benefit from the library
than the pupils in our schools. BY the
considerate forethought of the superin
tendent in directing their studies, they call
daily u consult books of substantial use
fnness and to take such IA they can tc
their homes They furnish means OF in
vestigation far greater than their clas:
books and the library thereby becomes a,
exceedingly valuable auxiliary to tht
school. Every investigation enlarges the
field of mental vislon and aids In the dis
