1t is interesting to know what are the
reading tastes of such typical New
England town as Springfield, Mass. The
city report of its public library shows
of course. that works Of fiction are most
in demand, with Edna Lyall, Walter
Besant, E. P. Roe, Amelia B. Edwards,
w. d. Howells, Jane Austen. Amelia
Barr and Scott, Dickens and Thackeray
as the most generally read authors.
Next TO works of fiction come biogra-
ply, travels, science, education, history
and theology, in the order named.
Among historical works everything re-
lating to the civil war is greedily read
by all classes, but especially by Grand
Army men. In fact, it is difficult to
supply the demand for some of these
books. OF French books, the one most
read is Victor Hugo's Lies Miserables. "
The demand for German books is light.
Shakespeare is read principally by the
pupils of the public schools. Exchange.

Dear Sir, Prior 10 1870, but Of the year
am not certain without examining the
record, the village OF Riverside was In
corporated, part OF the territory being In
Delhi township and small part In Storra
township, Storra NJ that tlmo consisted
OF oil the territory lying between the
stream known as Mil Creek and Delhi
township and between Mill Crock
township and the Ohio River, In
1870 al OF Storrs township not In.

Twonty.lrat ward. Storrs township con.
tnucd 10 elect q Justice OF the pence until
1887. During that year the Council OF Gin
cinnnu paaaed resolution requesting the
county commissioners 70 unnoN' 70 ilis
cinnnU township all the Storrs township
included within the city limits. Tho re-
quest was granted, and this action wiped
out all Of the Storrs township except that
portion included within the limits OF the
village OF Riverside. Since that tlmo they
have not elected Justice OF the peace or
other township officers. This track OF
land, containing about 100 acres, and am
told, about 100 votes, 10 still a remnant OF
Storrs township. There has boon no cleo
tion for any township purposes except for
justice OF the peace since 1870, and each
year since that time the county auditor
has appointed an assessor, who assessed
the personal property amounting 10 about
$4,000, and the real estate amounting 10
about $2b0,000. / have examined the Con-
gressional apportionments since 1870 and
hnd II omitted all the time, the first blum
der occurring In 1879. | am not certain
whether these people have been voting at
all for State or county officers and for
Congressman, but think the village Of
Riverside has for some time constituted u
precinct, and that the residents Of Storrs
have voted there without question.
Very respectfully,
