The growth OF the Library during the
year was 81 ,3O4 volumes. The Smithson-
ian collection in the Library numbers &c.
l72 volumes. During the year 63,4s3 read
ers visited the Library. The highest num-
ber on one day was 4S2. There were
103, I'll books supplied in the reading room
and 10, 500 books were loaned out.
The report states that the additions to
the Library have been made upon sys-
tematic lines. All gaps" were filled in,
and an endeayor is being made TO obtain
complete sets of every periodical included

school of Research.
The Library as school of research is
kept in mind. Thus. when feasible. the
Library buys whatever illustrates Shake
speare Dante Goethe. and other classics,
or certain branches OF science. The eollec-
tions in these and other departments are
comprehensive and valuable.
Special attention has been given to the
political social. and religious movements
attendant upon the development of the Re-
public, states the report. In religion, for
instance We have the Church of the Dis
ciples of Christ in politics, in addition to
other phenomena, we have 'Anti-Masonry
and Know -Nothingism. In a social as
well as a political way we have whatever
illustrates anti-slavery, prohibition, and
woman's rights. Attention is specially
given to the many changes in our legisla-
tion as regards political economy and
finance. The Mormon Church is an en-
phatic condition, and We have sought what
ever pertains TO its progress. There are
likewise many less important but no less
interesting phases Of faith, ambition, hal
lucination, and romance which blend into
our history. They illustrate the rapid,
perhaps inexplicable. changes of national
thought-what today is and what tomorrow
is not-and il is our effort that the Library
should possess whatever illustrates their
inception and growth. Take, as an exam
pie, the Southern Confederacy-the most
pronounced political movement since the
French Revolution. Any publication Illus
trating the Civil War or its causes is well
coined TO the end that in a century or so,
when the mind OF the historian can i'm
partially view the stupendous evolution,
the Library will be the one assured field OF
research. We have already a large assort-
ment of Confederate publications in the
way of documents and literature, but not
SO complete as could be desired. Whatever
pertains TO the Confederacy-its polemics,
music, war songs, and domestic songs; its

Deafness cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of tie ear There IS only one way to cure deafness, and tha. IS by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in1smed condition of the mu- eous lining Of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets infsmed, you have a rambling sound or imperfect heading, and when ii IS entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can betaker out and this tube restored to lti normal condition. hAsTing will h' dcstrov~d forever; min" cases out ol ten are caused by catarrh, which Ii nothing but an iuhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Barnes was taken completely by surprise by the sheriff ID making the arrest He WAS working m timber camp within an hours ride of the Canadian line. BaInes' trunk and bedding were shipped tO Prescott, as tt was thought that Hsnna's friends may be able to identity others articles as having belonged tO Hanna also.
