PETIT LARCENY.

The purpose of the reading room of the Union should be sufficiently well-known not to require an explanation; but judging from what has occurred during the past month some irresponsible member or possibly members are evidently in need of enlightenment. Not only have the covers been carefully removed from the magazines, but articles of general interest and the more attractive illustrations have been "lifted" also. The remnants, however, have been thoughtfully left for the readers. Such puerile actions cannot but injure the standing of the Union, and the mere condemnation of them ought to be sufficient grounds for their immediate discontinuance.
