church at 800 p. NJ, under the auspices
of the w. c. T. u, to which all ladies
OF the above organization and all the
gentlemen of Reynoldsville are cordial
ly invited to attend. The object of the
meeting is to discuss and take steps
toward establishing public reading
room for the benefit of the young men
Of this place.
This is certainly step in the right
direction. II a good library was estsb-
lished, no doubt many young man who
now loafs on the streets or in hotels,
would spend his evenings in company
with good book, which would not only
be literary benefit to him, but would
be the means of keeping him out of bad
company.

Indian, and near him are laid his rife
snowshoes, ornaments and other per-
sonal effects. | do not think the custom
OF leaving these articles at the graves
implies any belief that they will be used
by the dead man in another world. but
simply signifies that he will have no
more use for the things which were so
dear and necessary TO him in life-iust
