They have not secured any new books, ‘ nor have they opened the LibrarY since they took office.

The concert given by tne Ida Valley Lodge of Good r J eraplars on, the 9th inst., on behalf of the Benevolent Institution, was a success, the house being crowded. The object itself was sufficient to command a full house, 'and when the public are called upon fur, a charitable purpose, the response is generally good about here. Money given tor such a purpose or a hospital, is money well spent, not speaking of the amusement to be got in return.
