Many of our citi eerie, are-good-naturedly complaining of their annual fate, and are anxiously expecting tree passports over the well known route. As wo have not yet re- Ceived a "free pass" we: take it for granted that there is a desire with the people that we- shall remain at our post, Whether it is their desire or -not, we have come to the positive con .Clu.sion to "stand fast and fear not," and - wait patiently for future developments. LtterdrT Soelety.. Some of our young men for a while past have been talking of starting a literary society in this place, when on Saturday evening last they took the iniatory Step to carry the project into practidal effect, .by meeting for the peipose'of ofganization. A committee was appointed to draft a Constitution, ..which will be submitted sometime this meek, when the society will be perma . :nently (at least we hope so) organized. There are now a goodly number of young mon in. .the borough who will join Ibis worthy enterprise, and desire the well known advantages from it which will be for their future welfare. Thisis a propitious time for the organ ization of such a society, and we wish it all the success it justly deserves. - Wo may.be . 01e to give its name in next issue.
