The increase of the library has kept pace with that of the mem- bership. It commenced with seven hundred and sixty-seven vol- umes, which number enlarged to fourteen hundred and six in 1841, to eleven thousand and ninety-six in 1851, and to nineteen thou- sand two hundred and fifty-nine in 1859. The library now com- prehends a wide range of standard works in the various depart- ments of literature, science and art, and a copious selection from current publications of all that is interesting and instructive. Forty-five thousand volumes are put into circulation annually. The reading-rooms constitute one of the most attractive features of this institution. Here are regularly received one hundred and twenty daily and one hundred and eleven weekly newspapers, and literary and scientific journals; cighty-six monthly, thirty-seven quarterly, three bi-monthly, and two semi-monthly magazines.
The extensive and valuable cabinet of Natural History, formerly belonging to Prof. Christy, has recently become the property of this

OHIO MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.
Association. It embraces of land and marine, fresh water and west- ern shells, six thousand eight hundred and eighty-four specimens Also, forty-eight cases of minerals and fossils.
The library and reading-rooms are much frequented by strangers, of which there are always in Cincinnati great numbers. They are well calculated to give a favorable impression of the public spirit of the mercantile community here.
The Association occupies a fine suite of rooms in the Cincinnati College building, on Walnut st., above Fourth.
The officers are, Chas. W. Rowland, President; Theodore Cook, Vice President; M. T. Williamson, Corresponding Secretary; Jno. L. Talbott, Recording Secretary; Frank H. Baldwin, Treasurer; Benjamin Evans, S. G. Hubbard, Thomas W. Howell, Thomas A. Colter, John A. Townley, Directors; R. H. Stephenson, Librarian.
OHIO MECHANICS' INSTITUTE .*
THIS spacious and well proportioned edifice is at the intersec- tion of Sixth and Vine sts., and owes its construction to the public spirit of Miles Greenwood and a few other whole-souled mechan- ics, who have contributed liberally of their time, personal labors, and pecuniary aid, to establish this highly creditable temple to the mechanic arts. Within its walls the various Mechanics' fairs are annually held. Scientific knowledge is taught here by lec- tures, illustrated by extensive philosophical and electrical appara- tus, and mineralogical cabinet; and impressed on the minds of the members by the use of a copious and valuable library of more than ten thousand volumes; and reading-room periodicals of more than eighty first-class literary, scientific and philosophical journals of the present day.
There are nine hundred and fifty members-six hundred of whom use the library. Of these last more than three hundred are minors.
Courses of lectures, weekly, have been held hitherto throughout the winter months. These will be, hereafter, extended to three lectures in each week during that season. An evening school of

art and design, with five teachers and one hundred and forty-two pupils, is part of this scheme of progress.
The edifice is four stories high, and Gothic in its style. Dimen- sions, ninety feet on Vine st., by seventy-five on Sixth; main en- trance on Sixth. The walls are of brick, eighty-five feet high from the ground-floor to the top of cornice. The door and window sills are of cast iron, as are also the columns supporting the fronts. The exterior walls are finished with stucco imitation of stone, in the most durable manner. The entire height to the top of the roof is one hundred feet, in the centre of which is a cupola or lookout; and, as the building is situated on the most elevated point of land between the canal and river, from it is afforded one of the finest views of the city, Covington and Newport, to be had any- where else, except from the hills themselves. 2
The interior arrangements are also very complete. The lower part, on Vine and Sixth, is occupied as stores and offices; the se- cond story, as a library, reading and class-rooms, exclusively by the Institute, and the third story contains a lecture-room and muse- um, of considerable extent, with convenient ante-rooms attached. The fourth story, halls for the I. O. of O. F.
The building is warmed with hot air, and lighted with gas.
