The Library Question.

To the Editor OF the Gazette.
have often been asked as to the OBJ
iects of and benefits to be derived from
a public library. So through the col
umns of THE GAZETTE and for the
benefit of the people L wish to state
them as nearly as | can gather and as
correctly as possible. IL is the purpose
of the ITALIAN Social club TO elect a
board of directors, consisting of six
prominent citizens, TO act with us in
the selection and purchase of the nee
essary works To begin library, which
must number ut least 1000. In order to
raise this money, we expect TO cam
vass the city for subscribers, collecting
from each the first quarterly dues,
which shall not exceed 81 and all con-
tributions. This the canvassers must
receipt for and turn over to the direc-
tors who will be securely bonded and
are responsible for use or distribution
of money should the club fail to raise
the required sum or an insufficient
amount to begin the library;
the directors will then re-
turn each member the dues
paid in and placed to his credit by the
secretary, and in connection with the
library will be fitted up au elega mt
reading room, supplied with all the
leading secular and religious journals
of the country; rs also, mechanical
and railroad literature, benetiting alike
the rich and the poor. In this matter
we propose To make no disctimiua-
tions, as he who pays his dues is GER
tainly entitled to the benefit
of the library and its
connections. Those who are
unable TO furnish libraries at home
can, for the small sum of 81 per
annum, be supplied with the very best
literature the world has ever pro-
duced, as the very best selections will
be made as to class and style of bind
ing; and | will say further TO all who
are interested in this matter they may
communicate with me i'm person or by
letter, or Or. w. ID. M. Mason mt the
| club parlors. | especially call the at
| tention of the ladies TO this matter
as one Of great importance.
Notice will be given in
| due time as to time and place of meet
ing, and we will now most respectfully
solicit the attention of the citizens to
this call and will further suggest all
come out at that time, as several
addresses will be delivered by eminent
aud powerful literary entertainers.

Bolton, TEN, Sept, 6.-There were
two light showers of rain here yester-
