A GOOD MOVE. To THE EDITOR OF TIM REPORTER AND ALL CITIZENS OF TOWANDA : Thirty young ladies would like to speak to you; They want to ask a favor of you for your and their benefit. 4 This happy combina tion of interests grows out of the fact that Towanda, seemingly, has so little respect for great men and noble thoughts that in the matter of a Public Library, or any collection of books, little Orwell is way ahead of us. It has seemed good to thisty ladles, otherwise known as the Towandst Musical Society,'' that this our reproach• among towns should be taken away. They have already gathered to gether, by means of certain slender, one may say, attenuated Society fines and fees, sixty-two volumes, of which eigh lteen are of fiction, thirty-one biography, thirteen essays, three history, threerpoe try, one travels and three miscellaneous. Thoy even dare Hatter themselves that, as is small collection, it is at once sound and comprehensive. This little beginning therhope will prove the nucleus of a use ful Library, and they ask your help for, -this most worthy object of public good. If some Mr.. Doubting Heart now ex claims " Humph ! all very nice I—Have heard something of that sort before ! Probably wilt down soon enough," it will be necessary to punish him with old proverbs, to remind him that "Rome was no; built in a day," and that the stately city which became the terror of armies in itsinfancy was encircled with so low and contemptible a wall that it could be jeered at,and- i jimped over. To be sure, it can not be expected that the Towanda Libra ry will equal the Astor ; which is anoth er way of saying that Towanda is not New York, nor ever will be. But is there anything beyond the bounds of probabili ty—given a. little time and a certain amount of entrgy perseverance and help -in the establishment of &Library ade grate to the needs and Improvement of our intellectually forsaken, town ? And is this not worth an effort, lilacs certainly it cannot be a successful fact without such an effort? As one step toward this desired end, the Towanda Musical Society will give a variety entertainment on the evening of February 10th for the benefit of the To wanda Library.- For further particulars see posters and next week's papers. Let every one who would approve inch a Li brary, if established, Come on that evening and do all they can to give it a Arm foot ing. THE LAMOKA COAL COMPANY IN • THE BARCLAY REGION.

ALLEN, made the re mark at - a ; visiting party, that on Monday, January 19th, it would be twenty years since he took to himself a help-mate. When the,evening of the anniversary of his wedding day arrived, and as he was enjoying the comfort and 'quiet of his home, he was not a little' apprised to see his friends and neighbors begin to gather in, and seeing he was taken, he submitted with very good grace. Not being pre tared for company they retired.to anoth er room for a short time,, and when we next saw them—l will take the responsi bihty to say—although time has begun to make its mark upon them, they could not have looked happier twenty years ago. Alter asocial visit, about ten o'clock we found ourselves seated at the table tilled with the, comforts and luxuries of life, to which we all did ample justice, the bride and groom taking their place at the head of the table, and were made the target of a good many jokes, which they generally returned with usury. After supper we had singing and a few remarks by Cap tain Forms, who has been acquainted With the bride and groom from child hood, and althOugh his remarks were not so eloquent, they betokened that friend ship, which is dearer than eloquence, af ter which we had prayer by: Brother" C. J. Vaxcisi; and after wishing the bride and groom much joy and many returns of their anniversary, we left for our homes. ONE WHO was THERE. SPRING HILL.
