SNYDER COUNTY CoURT.-Some col
umns of matter have been wasted by the
Juniata and Snyder county cop papers
denoancing the removal of a suit to Sny-
der county as an outrage, &c. but without
specifying facts or giving names so that
readers could understand what the ont
rage really was. 1t now appears that the
notorious Peter Eby having committed
some theft was pursued by sundry citizens
or Snyder county into Juniata, and ascer-
tanning that he was knowingly concealed
they took him by force. For this they
We're indicted in Juniata county, and the
papers there having created a strong feel
ing by representing the pursuers as mob
of rowdies and without word of intima-
ton that the cause of all the disturbance
was one of the worst men in this part of
the State, the case was properly removed.
Subsequently the Juniata court entered
nOlle prosequi in the case-which it had no
right to debut still appeared i'll Snyder.
There the same thing was done, with
provision that Juhiata pay the costs.
In the case of the Certified Record from
Miffiin County, of Mary Butler and S.
Mccoy, Guardians of the minor children
of Col. VIM. Butler, deceased, VS.. Penn
sylvania r. r. Co., verdict for defen-
dants was rendered. Mr.. and Mrs. Butler
were both killed by an unaccountable
railroad accident this side of Lancaster,
but both travelling under free passes their
heirs were unable to substantiate claim |
All classes would have gladly seen these
orphans obtain, something but law is law
and must be submitted to.
Among the dozen different kinds of
Soaps to be found at Groves, is the Chem
ical Olive, manufactured by the celebrated
firm of NLcKeone, Van Haagan & Co.,
for washing clothes. Also, Self Raising
Flour, Canned Strawberries, PIums, Gar
den Seeds, &c.
The passage of the bill giving the Con-
gressiOnal land scrip, 100000 acres, to the |
Agricultural College in Centre county, is |
mainly attributable to the earnest efforts
of Speaker Hall and Senator Haines.-
These lands cannot be appropriated to
any other purpose, and we are therefore
glad to see that our senatorial district has
come in for the proceeds. If the institu-
ton cannot now succeed, there must be
something wanting in its organization.
The nomination of A. G.. Mullen, Esq,
as Collector of this District and that of q.
Ashman Miller as Postmaster at Hunt
ingdon, have been rejected by the Z. S.
Senate. Mr.. Roger, we hope, will be re-
instated in his former position; but should
the powers that be refuse to appoint him,
Mr.. Clark, who is acting Collector now,
would be the most acceptable appointment
that could be ma le. For Postmaster at
Huntingdon we are pleased to learn that
Captain B. X. Blair will probably be the
successful candidate.
A young man named Kibe of Benner
township, Centre county, was kicked

ment."
John Barnhart of Spring township,
