AN OUTRAGE.
The Mutilation of Public Library Books.

Recently 1T has come to the attention
1.-The trustees Of the Public library that
quite number of books have been Sc
riously mutilated by people cutting or
tearing out eDgravings and portions Of
the book desired for special use. The
trustees are SO annoyed by this destruc-
ton of valuable books that they nave
offered nreward of ten dollars for the
arrest of any person guilty of this
offence
Some of the BOOKS thus mutilated are
very costly. Mitchell's History of Eculp-
ture, Vol. l, page 288, has Lem robbed
of fine plate, and another is also miss
ing from Vol 2 of the same work, page
657. From Luke's History OF Art a
plate has been stolen from the second
volume, page 265. Gould's Dictionary
of Medicine page 1912, is minus one OF
the anatomical plates. From volume
IL of Hawthorne's works the entire in
deg to the set has been torn out. From
Brysnt's poems, pages 2l-24. Thanatop-
sis and Yellow Violots have been taken
From the Century for November 1886,
pages 1888 the article "Why the Conted-
eracy Failed" has Teen torn out.
Probably the most of these mutilations
have been made by boys. but strict
watch is to be kept in the future and no
guilty persons can expect to continue
these practices long without heing de-
tected.
