READING-RooM REMARKS.

Our notein regard to reading-room
and public library has awakened a
similar feeling in other minds, and
the following Communications are the
result:
Mr.. EDITOR: Your note as to the need of a
free reading-room in this village has set me,
and presume a good many others, to think
ing. If we could have a room in the new
brirk block, for instance, to which strangers
and those who have no homes of their own
could go during leisure hour or in the even
ing, and find plenty of good reading. would it
not be very good thing? Can we not have
such place-and just how would we be able
to keep it warmed and lighted?
EDITORS News AND CITIzEN:-I understand
that a good room, easily warmed, in the
new brick block, at a very low rent. can be
had, if secured now Do the people wish such
place, and what viii they be willing to do
to make it sure? Perhaps another question
should be added: What sort of a room do
they want ?-One which the ladies will feel free
to visit also-one always warmed and lighted
of an evening, and so quiet that no one shall
be disturbed at his reading? If those who
would use the room, in short, would state
their views freely, We should all then know
what to do.
