The printing of catalogue of Paris
Public Library has just been completed
at the Democrat Office. The book con-
tains forty double-column pages in line
type, from which it may easily be per-
ceived that it is library of some size.
In fact it contains nearly 5000 volumes,
of which about 900 are fiction. The
books are classified according to sub
iect, in seventeen classes. Until last
summer no classification of the books
had been attempted. 1t was done by
Miss Alice B. Knight, the librarian, with
some assistance, and was a work of con-
siderable magnitude.
According to the town clerks records,
there were in the town of Paris during

50 were living children and still6orn.
There were SO marriages, in only four OF

Paris. There were also recorded II
other marriages in other places, in
which one or both of the parties resided
in town. The number of deaths in town
was 81, which is at the rate of l5.S to
the thousand. Five of those who died
we're over so, the oldest being So. Thir-
teen were between 20 and so, and this
was considerably the largest number in
any one decade of age. Eight were
under one year old.
