the pleasure of examining the rare collec-
ton of books and curiOs of Mr.. Jas. II.

has some valuable books, pamphlets and
Mr.. Minard gave us copy of
a newspaper now very rare, and we place
it in the Tenney Memorial Library. Any
paper printed at an early date in Vermont

ton fifty, Seventy-tlve or one hundred
years hence. Can you think of anything
1850 to peruse than file of the OPINIONS
printed prior to 1900. We should build
for the future. We should donate to the
library to be preserved things which will
lcquaint future generations with the pres
