Bouides, it was almost an impossibility for those Bohemians who did not spoak the En- glish linguage tu obtain those books, as thoro was no one in'tho Library who wundoratood tho Bohemian Janguago. Moneures should therefora bo taken towarda correcting these cyils, Tho Board of Directurs should be requested to em- ploy a Bobomian librarian to attcud to his coua- rynion, Measures should also bo takeu to in- hice the Common Council to appropriate funds wherewith to purchaso an additional aupply of Bohemian books.

Starvation ia imminent. Daily tho country about ia overrun by mon in "gauge, begging for flour, moal, potatocs,—any- Ung to sustain life; and tho charity of tho farmers and woll-to-do citizans of the district is Borely tested, During tho wook I met many of THESE BEGGING PANTIES goiug about tho couutry in sleighs, Farmors complain of the {mpudence of their domands, and find it incumbent upon them to flatly refuse nid go solicited, As congoquence, potty thievery bas begun to show itself. Smoke- houses, corn-cribs, cellars, and psutries have been robbed, Storckeepera in Brazil, Knighte- ville, Harmony, Carbondale, and other mining contros, are alarmod for tho uafety of their goods, aud in cack of those towns oxtra con- stubulary have beou-put on duty. I visited Knightsvillo in my rounds this weok. That town is a melancholy monument of tho PARALYZATION OF TRADE brought about by labor-strikos, Ono yoar ago the town claimed, and honestly too, a population of 2,000 souls. Business-Louses flourished in arent numbers, and wero driving a thriving trade. ‘Chen commenced the strikes. The town lost {ta prestige, emigration commenced, and to-day Knightsyvillo contains short of 800 poople, while trada is complotoly doad, A few—not over half. a-dozou—busitioss-ouses are open, and tboir proprictors lead a precarious financial existence. ‘The game state of aftaita exists in tho other towns, iu a moditiod or exaggerated condition. ‘Yhe merchants in these places aro loud in thoir condemnetion of tha stnie, aud REALLY PEAR VIOLENCE, rapine, bloodshed, and pillage.
