Communication.



To the Editor Of The Forest Republican !:
SIR:-In a recent number Of your
paper, l noticed an article in which
was suggested a disposition of the
Library Association Fund.
The object is a charitable one, yet |
doubt the possibility of fair distri-
button. There are so many hands
through which this money must pass !;
l fear it would be nearly, IL not wholly
consumed, before it reached its destina-
ton.
Though not always an advocate Of
the old and often selfish adage, charity
begins a. home" yet in this instance
there is in our midst a noble and laud-
able cause to be advocated.
As the money in questson was raised
for the ostcnsible purpose Of founding
a Library Association at Tionesta, for
the benefit of the people, as well as the
members Of the Literary Society. II
it is to he used otherwise than for
what it was directed and originally
intended, why not use il for purpose
that would benefit the students and
teachers Of our Borough school, and
through them, the whole community,
viz: by establishing School Library
of Reference.
There are few works that are in
dispensabls to every well regulated
institution Of learning. What these
should be could be determined by the
members of the Literary Society. This
library Of reference, if donated, would
become part of the Borough School
property, and as such would be Tn.
der the care and control of the school
directors, it would be the nucleus to q
large library and perhaps to more sx'
tended educational facilities.
Let us try TO raise our scheol frou
its hitherto low standard to a higher
Let us try to retain at home the class
of students that have hitherto gon,
abroad. At least let us try to place
within reach of the poorer classes the
means of receiving higher culture
hope there will be u meeting o.
the Society with full attendance, at al
early date to consider the matter.

r. Hyreu. "Tbe Prophet" as

F. Hyren, "The Prophet" as he
is called, has been making things live
ly in our place for a wees or more
past, but seems to have steadieI down
a little in the past few days. When
he came into town, his first business
was to get the key of the Universalist
church, where he has sometimes held
forth, but the key could not be found |;
nobody had it, nor knew wnere it was.
Disappointed in getting a place to
promulgate his peculiar doctrines, be
went into the M. Z. Church on
Wednesday evening last and after the
regular services were concluded, en-
deavored to speak his piece there.
The brethren not wishing todisten to
his discourse, the lights were. turned
out, aud he was left to seif-communion.
On Thursday evening, he was on hand
again, and once interrupted Rev.
Lusher, and again attempted to speak
after the meeting. Sheriff Van Gle.
sen spoke to him, and asked him to
stop, but proving refractory, the sher-
N seized. and forcibly elected him
from the church. which he had per-
feet right to do; and his action was
approved Of by nearly, if not quite,
everybody present. He was brought
up to the Central House, and informed
that if he kept quiet, he would not be
disturbed, but otherwise he would be
taken to the cooler" As soon as the
sheriff was out Of sight he commenced
to shout and rave, when he promptly
taken in hands and lodged in Jail over
night. On Saturday night he vas on
hands at the church again, and, the
sheriff being absent, he acted up lit
tie, and, we are sorry to learn, wai
backed up and encouraged by those
who should know better, and who USED
a good deal Of proiane language IL
the church, in the preseece of the la
dies. Such actions can not be toe
strongly condemned, aRd We hope w
shall never be called upon to chroni
Gle a repetition of them.
