THE CIRCULATING
LIBRARY
We approve of a circnlating library,
and only bring that
few hints by way of caution 80 you secure
a library that has works worth: reading
insg‘ead of nine tenths of trashy fiction.
The circanlating library agents are now
in Centre county.
These agents go into 8 town and solicit
the citizens to take shares, at 7 a
share, for starting a $100 or $100 library
That is all good so far and a cheap way
| toget a library in which all the share
holders can have access to a large num-
ber of works for a small sum of money.
Bat when tue agents bave succeeded
in obtaining shares enough to pay for
such a library, they will claim the rigl
! to select the books for it
Here ic where the cantion comes in,
They will send you 850 per cent. in
f light literature, trashy fiction,
th balance In standard
vie

works of history.
Dont agree to let them select the boo
for youn. Ask for a catalogue and ins
on selecting yourselves and to sait
your tastes. Their works cf fi are
only the dead stock on their shelves
from some trade.book sale, which they
thus get rid of for full value
If agents will not let you select
vour own books, then bow them out po.
litely, and make out a list of such books
as you desire, send it o Lippioeots, Har-
pers, or any other reliable publishing
house and they will be pleased to {ill

THE RAIL
ROAD INTO THE SEVEN
MOUNTAINS,
i The Lewistown Press says there has |
| been copsiderable speculation wf late |
| among the people of that county, and at |
| Milroy, as to the prospects of a railroad |
{ being built into the Seven mountaivs. |
| The extension of the Milroy road over
| the mountains has been discussed by the
idle tongues of gossip for years, but it
never even ended in more than talk,
| Now it is proposed to construct a road
| info Cox's valley’ in the rear of the
| first of the Seven mountains
{ Knepp, a civil engineer of Douglasgyille,
| Pa, 18 making the survey of the road.
| The proposed line starts from the station
| at Milroy and keeps to the north and
| past of the turnpike vntil it reaches the
| Long mountain bridge in the gap, where
it turns eastward and runs up Cox's val-
| ley eight or nine miles,
| Rothermel & Co,, Mahanoy Plains, Pa,
have purchased several thousand acres
of land in Cox's valley and on adjacent
mountains and the railroad is for the
| purpose of enabling them to get out lum-
| ber, and prop timber for the mines in
| the hard coal regions on an extensive
{ seale, The pine, hemlock and trees of
large growth, which still abound on that
| tract, will be worked into lumber, and
| steam saw-mills will be erected in that
valley this winter, Itis eaid that the
railroad will be graded and put inte op
eration as soon as possible, Mr. Mowry,
