OUR MANUFACTURES.
The gentlemen who have been talking OF
erecting a pottery have low got down to
business. They are confident the concern
will pay if properly managed. Four OF
them have about SIS. 900 or $20. 600 they
will put in the project. The amount
wanted is $50, 600. We are informed that
the bottle works are contemplating the
erection of another furnace Of about the
capacity Of the one now in use. This com
pany has always shipped all the ware
manufactured, and it is hoped the rumor
that the concern is to be enlarged is true.

CITY LIBRARY.
The Public Library at the Central school
now contains about five hundred Volumes,
and is largely p~atronized of late. TIE
library is open every other Saturday, and
| all reputable persons have the privilege OF
borro wing books. The rules admit a per-
son to take out three books If so desired.
II a family contains six members, each one
OF them is entitled to three books, and
although The library is small SOME persons
take the full number allowed according to
the rules. A small bay was noticed trudg,
ing home with nine books. When asked
how he came to have so many, he said that
he had selected three for himself, three for
his mother and q like number for bis father.
This should not be allowed, as it is impos-
sible for everyone to lie supplied with read
ing when a few carry off all the books.
Would it not be q good idea to have the
library open every Saturday afternoon for
three hours, ard limit all to one book
apiCci?'
