The original resolution provid ing tor adjournment was made to read "Friday morning;" au amendment wan proposed making it "Friday afternoon," by a not very large majority, the amend ment prevailed. When those who were in their beats ia the House this afternoon contemplated the mauy empty Eeats, they were exc.eedmr wroth, aud devised a little tcheme wheieby the absentees, who having many of tliein voted not to adjourn until 1'iiday afternoon, had nevertheless gone home, might be tuado known.

All thu members of the special committees were pr ent, nnd the Senate chamber was well tilled with an audience of members. Senator Fisk of Grand Isle made a statement of the case and the necessities for tho bridge, Its probable cost and what the towns inter ested would do in the matter themselvea. He assured the committees that no other ii quest would be made ot a like nature, that if tliis request were granted it would be all the islanders would require. Mr. Macomber of Grand Isle made a statement of tlie condition ol affaire He said the people deslrlug tlie bridiie wauted to feel that they weie not cut off from the outer world for three mouths in the year, wneu neither terries could run. nor teaais cross. Kx Senator Chapin said thattwo jears ago he was chairman of a similar committee to tlie one he was addressing, and he had looked the ground all over aud was well persuaded in ids own mind that the aid sought should be administered. As to how much it would make in individual taxes, he himself paid ou a graud list of iouaud it woniu only lucrease ins tax 07 ce.its. It was suggested by those Interested that tho blank In the bill be filled with tho amount of tiQ,uw. This amount scetiud to be batlstactory to the commit tee, and in a session it was agreed to ro noii. favoratilv on the nas.-,aee of tho bill u ilh that amount inserted as the sum the State should appropriate. UU8I.NTPS TENDENCY OK Till! HOUSE. Tlte House to-day manifested a decided deslro to accomplish f-otnethlng. Several motions to adjourn were solidly voted down, as were motions to delay action on cerfnln nieaMin. The bill prohibiting the uift or sale of cigarette to children provoked n little diecti'Rton, the principal Kpeeeh In behalf of Hie bill being made in an eloquent anil persuasive appeal or tne uenllenian fi run Swatitoti. The bill has passed tlie Home and gone to tho Senate. WOMAN bt'Kl'llAfli:. The Importance of this subject com mended itself to the House, and In view of mauy absentees, tho measur" was made the spit, al order for lic.-.t Wednesday af ternoon at 2;.'j0 Tilt' JritlCltO-WlM.ISTON TOWN LINK. The testimony ill tho Wllliston-.Terieho town line matter was takeu and concluded last night before the select committee of members Irom Chittenden county, Mr. Wheelockof Milton presiding.

The men who own tho land in Jericho re quested to be set off to Williston are Mar vin Chapman, M. "W, Clink and John Johueou, Tho former and original town line has been the old bed of tho river. The testimony tends to show that tho nresent bed of the river was formed over 100 years ago. Shel don Douglas, S7 years old, testified that as far as Ins memory ran back the river tins run as it does now. anu ins latner nad said it was changed before ids memory. beveral ex-pane allldaTlts were also In troduced iu addition to the oral testi mony.

To the riJltor ef tlie Free 1'iesj i Twenty-flvo years ago visitors used to ay ol Burlington that its pcenery was superb, that Uh private residences were elegant, but that IU public buildings were unworthy ot it. The censure was deserv ed. And certain embarrassing infer ences from this dlspioportiou of public spirit to private wealth could not well lie eVHded. This state ot tilings has now been happily changed. Half-a-dozen new chinches, the federal building, the coun ty court home, tlie high sctiool, the Mary Fletcher hospltul, the opera house, the college buildings, especially the Billings library, tho two Hock Point tchools, the Howard Unlet building aud the Voting Men's association building, are all crtdl'.ftblp and mauy of them baud- some edillces, and together give to our city adegice ot architectural inipresslveness which now attracts tho admiration of vis itors. The public school buildings do not, as a whole, adequately expresB to the outward sense the Importance of the great Interest for which they stand, nor should we wish a stranger to estimate our Interest in municipal, State, aud national government by the polling places in the several wars. Some things still remain to be done One public building, however, above all others, Is now an Imperative and imme diate need ; that is a building for tho Fletcher Free Library. The collection ot books, as our citizens well know, Is a most valuable one, now Hearing 20.000 volumes, aud growing at the rate of 1000 volumes annually. Do our people fully appreciate what it is to have their children grow up in a community lu which tho best litera ture is freely circulating through all their homes? Do our professional men, our progressive bushiest! men, our artisans, know how much is meant by the privi lege of getting ordered any book for which there is even a moderate demand ? When we Und that the best books of the day are no soouer placed on the shelves thau they are lu demand, and when we learn from the librarians into what fatal lies Mich books go, we begin to appreciate the benelit of the Fletcher Free Llbiary to our community. But the building In which we house this noble collection is unworthy of it aud un worthy ot the city. As a county court liou.se in primitive times : as a tabernacle for a homeless church ; as a tenement for a school-board, an engine company, and a linn of ingenious lucksmlths, it has had a useful existence of nearly a century. But lor a library building it lias no adapta tions and no possibilities of any. It is not necessary to specify its defects, exter nal aud internal. The annual repor's of the secretary of the trustees have, with realiotic plainness, exposed ita discom foitsand inconveniences, its leaks aud draughts, its uuMuhtlliiPSS. uutidiuess. mistiness aud general air of dilapida tion. Kvery citizen of Burlington is al ready convinced that this is not the stylo of building fit to hear the name of its public librarv. The building now called for by all con siderations ot civic nride. convenience. oafety aud regard lor the future, bhould havo architectural comeliness correspond ing to that of buddings ot the kind else where, aud should be adapted to all the probable demands upon It for the next century, it should havo door space enough for blacking r.0.000 volumes with out requiring the librarians to climb. stair.-, it should have an ample reference library room where all the books properly so classed could be fieely consulted. It should have a- large, well-lighted reading room, capable ot Healing 50 readers of the newapapeis and periodicals to be therein kept, ."such a bnlldiug would cost Kn.0W) It should, for the. sake ol impressive effect, for qaiet, fur salety Irom 11 e, and lor ad milting light on all four sides, ho at some distance from other buildings. Thesl'e of the present building would not answer to these conditions, and for other reasons is object loimhle. The city lot east, ot C. I'. Smith's leed store or. the old Whet lei place ou tho corner of St. Paul and Main strews, or the southeast corner of Mrs John II, Peck's plnce, would better meet the. lequireiiients ot the needed building. But how lo get such a building io tho main que tion. Iftheci v ere not already In debt for public m p;ovf ments, if there were not a pro-ueet lor years to come of heavy expend. Hues for school houses, tor tne watei system, unvernge, grading, paving, aud budens wnii.li a.em to be coming all in a heap upon this generation, we might rIhov good reason why the city bhould tax itself for the erection of a niiU.tl.ie building lor us public library. But :'i thiUL,s are, small hepo iies in that dliectlou Let us-ste if tlieie is not some other and more excellent way. Oue very marked and most happy out come of the abundant material prosper ity ot our American people, ia tho lavinh devotion of puv.ite wealth to public User. Nutting in our always ama.lng social life so completely amazes foieignera as this. Mis. (ieorge P Marsh said that the pur chase of her hurhitud'u libraiy aud the gilt of it to a public lusutulioa by a pri vate individual was to the Italians so as touudlug as to lie scarcely credible. Mr. Phelps remarked dnnug Ida visit last summer that the public spirit bhowu by our wealthy meu was the theme of ad ndiing comiiK-ut hi Englishmen. With Matthew Arnold's leave, here at least is something that is "interesting" nud not at all "ptiilistiue." While cro..kers are declaiming against the greed and selfish ness ot wealth, wealth is pouring its mil lions, iuto th.' channels of benevolence. Kudowmeuta ot libraries, museums gal leries of art, hospitals, churches, schools of learning, are the coinmuti pi ice items ol the newspapers. This furnishes the best auswer to socialism, communism, aud tlie various levelling theories ot the Unite. When wealth feels its obligations, and recognizes ita opportunities, it turns hate Into admiration, and euvy into grati tude. It might f-cem that tho name of the Li brary, the Fletcher Free Library, might deter any other person fmm giving the library building. Donors naturally wish to attach to a public gift either their own name, or that of their family, or some other beloved name, lu this case there Is nothing to prevent one so doing.
