IT should be hardly necessary for us to call the attention of the Hamilton people to the meeting to be held in the Volunteer Hall to-morrow evening, for the purpose of considering matters in connection with the Public Library. To them this should be a matter of paramount importance—in tho Hist place, because the present apology for a library is a disgrace to tho Borough collectively and to every adult inhabitant particularly. Those of them who have visited other townships of fewer inhabitants and less pretension must he aware that the contrast between their institution and the well-ordered and useful libraries that exist elsewhere gives them good cause to feel ashamed of themselves and their Borough in this regard. We prefer not to suggest the proper way to go to work, as, no doubt, those who have called the meeting will come prepared with a scheme or schemes. Wc urge all to attend prepared to give in their adherence to any practicable measure that may be suggested, and, at Hie same time, make some monetary sacrifice, without which no scheme is practicable.
