The history Of free public libraries runs back
but a short time. 1t is less than twenty years,
in fact, since the English Parliament, by its
"Act to enable To,on Councils to establish Pub
| lie libraries" authorized towns and cities to
appropriate public funds to the support Of
public libraries. Previous to this act, and the
building up of libraries under its provisions,
the treasures of literature and science,-the
rich stores Of English learning-were accessi-
BILE only to the few, and to them only a.a very
great inconvenience and expense. oiooon n"S
recorded, upon an enduring page ..a'

49,, 20 colleges and monasteries, had been FORM
.d nv donations made upon conditions which
Greatly restricted their usefulness. They were
intended to meet the wants only of profess.
ional men and scholars. 1t was not then sup
posed that men of other classes and pursuits
could have any acquaintance with matters of
literary taste or science; or could have any in
terest in them; but the fact that Manchester,
England-a city of operatives, of skilled Ia
borers-was the very first to avail itself of the
privilege of free public library at the public
expense, and that it now has one OF more than
$4,000 volumes, and that its yearly issues for
reference and reading amount to more than
100000 shows pretty conclusively that it is
matter Of importance to laboring men.
That the public should be willing to support
free libraries, it was necessary that they be
formed in catholic spirit; that they stand
a)oof from all party influences, in politics or
in religion; that they contain, in fair proper
tions, the books that are attractive to the un-
educated as well as those which assist the pur-
suits OF the clergyman, the politician, ana 'n'
professional scholar; and that they Dc UNI,

Agentleman who tells the truth, living not
thousand miles from our city, tells us the
following very remarkable story: He says
that when he was boy, about fifteen years of
age, while engaged at work in haying field,
one warm afternoon, becoming tired, conclud-
ed to sit down for a few minutes under the
standing near. Sitting in an easy position,
leaning his back against the trunk Of tree,
he soon fell asleep. Upon awakening, he
felt something in contact with his ''great toe"
he Of course being barefoot at the time. To
his astonishment he discovered that large
striped snake had the toe in his mouth, no
doubt thinking he had caught frog, and was
commencing to swallow it. The gentleman
says it was but the work of minute for him
to seize stick and dispatch the snake. He
snaked the life out of him quite suddenly.
Since that time he has had holy horror of
snakeS-Ken. Jour.

SHOCKING DEATH.

Another Man Killed at the Depot.
Another of those painful and fatal acct
dents occurred at the Nashville and Chat
tanooga depot yesterday morning, by
which a good and industrious citizen was
suddenly deprived of life and sent without
premonition to the bar Of his God. The
frequency of these results, it appears, does
not prevent repetitions of reckless risks of
danger. Yesterday morning, near 8 o'clock,
as tender and locomotive were backing
up into the depot, MIR. Edward Glennin, a
switch-tender at the depot In the
employ of the road, attempted to
step upon the tender. He missed
his footing and fell across the
track The engine was stopped almost IN
stantly, but not, however, before the wheels
of the tender had passed over the unfortu-
nate switch,tender, severing both legs from
the body near the knee. The limbs we're
entirely severed and lacerated in shocking
manner. The poor. limbless man fingered
in great agony until II o'clock, M. when
death relieved him of his sufferings Mr..
Glennin WAS about thirty years of age, and
trusted, sober, Industrious man. He
leaves a wife and two children, who were,
in a measure dependent upon his daily
earnings for a support. We sincerely hope
that we shall not soon have to record such
another misfortune as this.
