This does not include the number of books returned to the library, nor the number of readers at the tables, or those who came ofr reference work for school, club, or other study work. The day was one of unusual rush and makes one person just about as busy as she can well be in handling it — »- John Brock, the venerable merchant and tinner, was another one of the very many who nave fallen during tbe past season, receiving serious injury. While cut walking in the west part of the city late Monday afternoon on a business errand, he slipped and fell on the icy pavement, both bones of the left arm tfeing broken at the wrist, and . his collar bone also being fractured very near the arm socket. When he fell the plucky old pentieman got up without assistance, after which Dr. Boyers was summoned and the fracture of the forearm set It was thought, however, he could not stand the dressing of the injury to the shoulder at that time, so that was given attention this morning. He spent a very restful night and is getting along very well for one of his great age. He will be seventy-seven years old this month. ' —— o -•— The joint installation of the offi cers of the G. A.
