CHILD BURNED.-The little two year old
boy of Mr.. Charles Mankin, who lives on
north Alfred street, was quite badly burned
day or two since during the temporary
absence of its mother. On the return OF
Mrs. Mankin TO her home, after few mo
:ncnts visit to neighbor, she noticed the
smell of smoke and on going at once to the
room i'll which she had left her child, with
its colcred nurse, found its under clothes
on ire aud the little one badly burned. As
the chiIds outer clothes were not on fire
and as this is the second time it has been
similarly burned, some are under the i'm,
pres sion that the nurse set the little one on
lire through some grudge. 1t is said that
the nurses statements of the affair aid her
conduct since, strengthen this belief.

Veteran Librarian Saunders, of the Astor
library, when asked by a reporter regarding
the progress of the work on the new cata.
logue, said that he hoped to have the second
volume ont in about six weeks IL is ex,
pected to have the two following and con.
Guiding volumes completed with greater speed
and they will probably be done next year.
Four men have been engaged upon the work
for six years and the cost viii exceed $50, 600.
Each volume is to consist of about ], 100 pages
and 1000 copies of each will be printed, the
idea being, it is understood, to present a copy
TO each Of the great libraries of this country
and Europe.
The first volume Of the new catalogue has
already been found very convenient Special
pains have been taken TO ascertain the full
hames of authors, the type is large, and the
arrangement of titles and names is a
decided improvement on anything here
Dfore attempted OF this kind. The old cata-
.ogue. which was also in four volumes, was
printed between the years 1857 and lSGl. The
number of volumes i'll the library at the end
" last year, according to Superintendent
Robbins Little, was 22l, 400, an increase Of
G9.ODO i'll the last ten years. The total num-
Der Of readers a year is now about 5000.
The fund for the maintenance of the library
is S4ll,5jO, and the endowment fund is
s., ,4l2, ,3140 -. The insurance on the books
alone reaches s220,O0O, and that OH the
building is SlOO,OoO.-New York Mail and
