marks: "This will 'do to be recorded
for future reference, for It certainly is the

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.

any communication i . - your paper from
Towner. Hill, I thong . t Ilitmld send you
a few items that migh be. of interest to
some of your readers... We have a-com
munity made up of la -abiding, industri
ous fanners, who are not ashamed to ac
knowledge that they earn their bread by
the sweat of their brow ; and we have as
PO
a hill-fariant country as can be
found in Northern Bradford. On the
highest elevatida stands our neat little
'church, where we can get the fresh breez

tains, and where every alternate Sabbath
we listen to those things that pertain to ,
our happiness here and ourlirelfare here

bath at twelve o'clock we meet for Sab
bath School, with a membership of over
sixty, and among them a good many good
workers. Sabbath evenings we have a
Convert's- or Cottage Prayer Meeting,
which we pass around from house to
house, besides our usual Thursday - even
ing prayer meeting. Also a singing school
every Saturday evening, taught by our
neighbor, L. H. TOWNER. So you will
see we are w.,t - a . slothful pe0p1e....1
mast tell of a very enjoyable affair which
occurred-here lately. Our genial friend
and brother, J. H. 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.
