E8PAI1 M citizen and the pro-
fession of a bright, par
ticular star, at once brilliant, witty and
talented, one who had it not been his destiny
: to die young would have been destined to
become leader among men of his calling,
whose power would have been felt in one
side or the other of every case of Importance
in this section. John A. Nash is the now
new name enrolled on Deaths tablets. He
was loved on earth and l believe his many
virtues, which more than overtopped his few
: shortcomings will claim for him everlasting
t life in tlte world to come. l cast this little
garland upon his tomb and in turning to
, leave him to his God, can only think how he
will be missed by those who loved him, by
those who were wont to listen to his delight.
ful conversation, and by those who claimed
him as thei- staff of life and only dependence.
That the Good Man win be merciful and
bountiful to the latter we know already,
because the spirits of many have already
been moved with charitable results and again
we have proof of the power of prayer.
THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Next week will be Pottsvilles most gala
one of all the year. The bright and happy
faces of a small army of school marms will
tighten upon homes, streets and halls, and
the busy scenes of many former winter
week will be re-enacted. Pottsville always
heartily welcomes the teachers and this year
the town promises to outdo itself The lee
ture and concert course for the week is more
attractive than last year, or year before, and
this part of the programme to please as well
as to instruct has already been well carried
out. County Superintendent Weiss efforts to
do all that will tend to give the teachers and
general public an enjoyable time are being
appreciated as the Academy chart will sub
stantiate on inspection.
In addition to the other attractions in store
for the teachers of the gentler sex, there is
one which will be particularly enjoyable 1t
is the ball to be given in their honor by Divi-
sion No l, A. o. H. at Robbins Hall, on the
night of the 2lst inst. 1 happen to know the
members of the Division who have the COM
ing happy event in charge and therefore can
say with certainty that Joy will not only be !
unconfned, but il will be strutting around |
the large auditorium of the big building with |
both feet. There are number of pretty
teachers of Shenandoah who are sure to be
present and they are all going to strive for
the honor of being the Belle. l hope your
town will carry off the prize, but leave the
lady who earns it here. We need more
beauty and grace in Pottsville and less gossip;
so we do and no mistake.
THE SCANDAL MoNGERs' ABODE.
Speaking of gossip suggests the recording
of the fact that this place was not behind the
door when the scandal mongers belt was
presented as prize to be given to the town
containing the most and the worst back biters,
slanderers, general all around, lively hustl-
ing, and ver.go-to-sleep, genuine scandal
mongers. The good inhabitants of every
little town or village will not agree to this
without tournament, claiming that there's is
the worst, but Pottsville takes the biscuit if ,
we may be permitted to bake word in this /
behalf and we are not going to yield any a
thing to any other town that this town alone
Is entitled to by reason of earning it. If the e
editor of the Republic is inclined to doubt '
this assertion let him take stroll westward
from his office and see and hear for himself S
But the Republican does believe it. 1t was in
= conversation with him that the thoughts "
above expressed were inspired. And that S,
individual knows also that our criticisms of
the county seat in our last letter were well e
deserved, and well he knows it. If his per-
mission TO publish all he knows in that 81
respect was as large as his ability to do so, fC
7our correspondent would have an able ally
n the editorial writer who presides over page Of
wo OF your evening contemporary published
IN Mahantongo street. If il is doubted that OF
his is the scandal mongers' haven (my pen
lad nearly written haven of rest" but the aC
! M. never rests) il it should be disputed al
hat what is herein recorded is untrue in the
east particular the charge shall be aug OF
nented and individual cases. wherein the ct
rossest wrongs have been perpetrated by III
Gomen gossips in the guise of ladies, shall be 10
elated and proven. We know whereof we Ia
peak and having spoken will bring proof if m
equired. We add Pottsville can beat the ce
tate if not the universe for downright,
