To (he Vresident and Members of the Altoona Me
chanits' Library and Reading-Room Association :
Gentlemen :—Although no report is required
of me by the laws of the Association, yet 1
have thought it would bo satisfactory to you to
be informed of-the extent to which the books
belonging to the Library have been circulated.
Acting upon this thought, I herewith present a
report detailing all (he information! 1 can com
mand:

Book No. 528, entitled “ Bittor Sweet,” writ
ten by Dr. Holland, has been mislaid or lost.—
I have instituted a careful search after it, but so
far all efforts to discover it have been unavailing.
It may be possible that it- has been taken from
the Library uncharged.
I would recommend that the following books
should always be retained in the Library Room
for reference, and" that never, except on special
occasions, should they bo permitted to be taken
from the Room:
Webster's Dictionary, Unabridged,
Appleton’s Dictionary of Mechanics,
Dictionary of Poetical Quotations,
Gazetteer af the United States,
A Cyclopedia of Commerce,
Rogel’s Thesaurus of English Words,
Colton’s Atlas of the World,
Blake’s Biographical Dictionary,
Mississippi R. R. Reports.
Under the existing laws 1 cannot refuse giv
ing out any or all of the above books, to the
members, when called upon to do so. Very fre
quently it happens that the members who are
in tho habit of reading uightly in the Room, are
deprived of valuable information, in consequence
of a membqr monopolizing'either of the above
books. I hope the recommendation will be ac
ted upon favorably, thereby securing equal priv
ileges to the members for future reference, ac
cessible at all times. ’
The authors of light literature most popular
with the members are J. Fcnnimoro Cooper, Sir
Walter Scott and Charles Dickens. Valuable
works on Mechanics, History and Poetry remain
on our shelves for months, uncalled for, so little
is the interest these subjects;
while on the contrary there is an eager demand
for works of light literature. This substitution
of light reading for the more solid and valuable,
is to be regretted. While I deplore this deci
ded preference, l ean by no means censure those
who peruse that order of literature, or even
dictate to them what bdoks they should read.
The progress of the Association has been such
as to give pleasure to its friends and a renewal
of that hope that it will yet become an institu
tion, destined to be productive of much good to
those who will avail themselves of its benefits.
It may be proper to add, that its success so far,
has sadly failed to realize the anticipations of
its enemies.
Never having been a member of any Literary
Association previous to this one, much less ouo
of its principal officers, I felt diffident in ac
cepting the office of Librarian, fearing 1 would
lack the ability essential tp the management of
a circulating library. However, by the assis
tance of kind and experienced Triouds, I have
succeeded in discharging my duties in a manner
which I hope has been saii l'ictory to the mem
bers’; Nearly all the duties of the office arc now
so syeternized, and s<s arranged that by the ex
ercise of a little care and the routine
wili be easily parried out, by my successor.
lu retiring from the office, I cannot permit
this opportunity to pass without thanking all
those who have in any way aided me in the dis
charge of my duties. To Mr. B. F. Custer, the
Chairman of the Library Committee, and to my
. efficient iynd gentlemanly Assistant Librarians,
Messrs. James Plowman and Fred Ward, lam
particularly indebted for the material aid which
they have rendered me. My successor, Mr.
Plowman, is fully acquainted with the duties
of-the and will, no doubt, render all the
satisfaction necessary to its successful ministra
tion. Wishing the Association an unusual de
gree of success, during .the pfeseut year, allow
me to remain Yours respectfully

By order of the Board ot Birectors,

We are sorry '<o entertain the opjnipn that
many of the youpg men who work in the shops
in this place, as -fellas the young men.not en
gaged therein, d 6 hot take that interest in the
Association'which would make it advantage
ous to them, clsawe* would find mere of their
names on the roll of members. Certainly they
could not invest ppr dollar to better advantage.
We hope, ere another year, rolls round, to find
the names of a majority of the ybusg men en
rolled as of the Association. Our citi
zens generally, wh think, should take more in
terest in the affair. Many of th€sln have, books
which they do not need, or make use of, which
might be donated! to the Library, and its inter
and usefulness be much increased thereby.
Accident. —Samuel Galbraith, one of the
hands in the yard jin this place, had the small
bone of his right foro-arm broken in several
places, on Tuesday last, by being caught be
tween the bumpers of a locomotive and freight
car. It appears! that he was -attempting to
move a freight cqr wbeb the locomotive backed
suddenly upon him, striking him on the elbow
apd fracturing t|e bone as stated. Dr. Good
was immediately called and proceeded to reduce
the fracture, and jtihe injured man is now about

the thanks of the Company be
tendered Messrs. McCrum & Dern, of the Altoo
na Tribune, for thbir many favors; also, to Miss
Anna M. Rose, for. a beautiful wreath presented
on the day of the; parade; also, to the citizens
of Altoona in general, for their liberality which
has always been prompt when solicited.

tomers. Give th(|m a trial.
Messrs. Bailors f
From various sources of information, I have
been led to believe’ that the. opinion ti current
that I am only transiently located herd, and that
.1 am soon about ip remove from this place.—
Opinions are; also entertained that a book store
cannot be sustained here; that the citizens of
Altoona'and vicinity, to their shame, aro not a
reading people ; ttfat it will not p*y, &o Such
opinions, if allow&i long to must injure
the best prospects. The begetting error also
of preauming to understand the bnainess of oth
ers, without even ji shadow of a source for cor
rect- information,; iis lamentable. Wishing to
comet these mistaken impressions, ere they set
tle into a general conviction and conflict with my
legitimate and eventual success, 1 embrace, this
occasion, through the Tribune— with your kind
indulgence, of cudrse, —to state that so far from
thinking of a rempval, 1 am daily receiving new
supplies of books, stationery, music, &c., and
jin the very best of;humor to wait upon my cus
tomers. The word “ discoiilinue ” has not or will
not enter into the catalogue of my affairs, unless
per force of this perverted outcry against suc
cess. '
This is an age of enlightened, refined and iu
tblligent society. It is the age of railroads, tele
graphs, printing presses, churches and' public
schools. Who .would be ignorant or behind the
age with such magnanimous public facilities for
knowledge surrounding him? “Knowledge is
power,” and books the medium through which
we obtain it. Is there, then, no demand for a
book store ip a place containing six thousand
intelligent hdmon beings ? The ides alone of a
negative is preposterous and absurd. Bat, says
ono, ajre, mahy, 1 have now more books than I
have time to read. Very well, you still need;
them for reference, and in this progressive day
if you would: keep pace with the times, an in
creasing demand for more must of necessity oc
cur. If youare a jroilroad man in this railroad
town, and, as yon presume, have no time to
think of anything else, go to the book store and
purchase tbelife of Gep. Stevenson, or that of
some other rail void genius, and yon will find,
them reading men, thinking men, and men of
inquiry, upon alii subjects.' I am not going
away.'\ Desiring do 8,1 honest and legitimate
is lespectfully poUcited. v

Dr. Extskr:—Although not an advocate of
Patent Medicines, in general, B affords me
pleasure indescribable torecommend your Pec
toral Syrup. As a medicine il ls well worthy
the attention of any person who may in any
manner be affected with colds, coughs end
hoarseness of any kind t and for itf peculiar
qualifications for removing all that disagreeable
sensation attending a severe cold.!
I have been, more or less, in my life afflicted
with the severest ,of cold, and hoarseness. At
times my throat would become so closed a« to
■prevent my speaking above a whisper, and by
taking a few doses of the above Syrup, it would
relieve me entirely.
In recommending this medicine, I must un
hesitatingly say, that it is the best remedy I
ever found,, purporting to cure the above, nor
should any family be without this remedy for
diseases so prevalent.
Yours, most respectfully,
