OUR PUBLIC READING ROOM.
[TO THE EDITOK.] Sin,—l should advise the Library Committee to add the words: " Boy's Assembly Room," for it seems to be the resort of a lot of youngsters who ought to be at liome and in bed. I was very much disgusted 011 Wednesday night to find fifteen of them occupying every chair round the tabic and amusing themselves by pitching the papers about from 0110 end of the table to the other; it cannot be wondered that they are in a disgracefully dilapidated condi-1 tion. There is a card 011 the wall which requests visitors not to talk ; the boys donotappear to have read it. 1 left and went to an hotel where I read the Dmv Times in peace and quietness,—l am, etc., Citizen.
