A description of the school library, with the names of the authors and the number of volumes, by Prof. Reubelt, is given in The Republican this week. It will be seen that the library, though not large, is of great merit, so far as it goes, and has been selected with rare judgment and discrimination. It is evident that so long as Mr. Reubelt is at the head of our town schools, that every dollar invested in books for the library, will be put where it will do the most good. Let our people miss no opportunity to encourage the building up of this library, for it is a deserving enterprise. Say darkies did you see my Marsey? Wid a mustache on his face.

He had been paralytic and helpless for several months, and for a considerable time deprived of his mental faculties. Mr. Guild was one of the pioneer Methodist ministers of this portion of Indiana, and was one of the best known and most highly esteemed of the old men of this comity. While in active service as a minister he once had charge of the .Rensselaer station, and xvas pastor here at the time, if we mistake not, when the present parsonage building was first ejected. The funeral was held on Tuesday, the 30th ult., and was one of the largest ever held in Gillam township.
