The New Town sbeiety and the Men’s club, the first with a six months’ record, and the second just organized, are movements of doep in terest to the people of Brunswick with possibilities of usefulness to all class es limited only by the support re ceived. The New Town society, originally an organization of a few citizens of New Town, founded for mutual use fulness and mutual Lcuefit, never has missed a weekly Monday uight meeting. Its membership has steadily increased, until it now has on its rolls an active membership ex*etdiny To members, electing live new mem bers at its last Monday night's meeting. The exercises usually consul, afier business matters have been disposed 01, to debates on live questions aud oc casional lectures by well known citi zens and short talks or readings on historical subjects, which have punch to be both interesting and instructive. Indications point to a constantly increasing membership and intuiooi in the association. A library lias been gathered together by donation, loan and otherwise; innocent games have been provided for the entertainment ol' the younger members, and, by vol untary action, the members of the so tlio rooms aie kept open every night in the week except Sunday. 'i lie Men’s club, organized largely through the exertion oi He*. Wyliys; liede, of SI.

There is and will no politicos oi any kind in either organization. No 1 motves except public anu private bene ii.i and helpfulness.
