A Suicide.

Mr.. j. H. Snider, of the little
village of Chickaaawhatchee, this
county, and but a few months ago
married to Mrs. Mcclellan, was
found dead in the woods on last
Sunday morning but sh prt distance
from the village with a pistol ball
through his head We narrate the
circumstances as we have obtained
them from reliable parties OF that
community. Mr.. Snider had been
engaged in teaching school at Chick
asawhatchea for some time past and
on Wednesday morning Of last week
dismissed his scnool with Instructions
to his pupils to go home. Some of
the pupils being anxious to find out
whether there woul be any school
the next day asked him the question,
but his only response, rs we learn,
was, 'come and see.' This was the
last seen or heard of Mr.. Snider until
last Sunday morning when he was
found dead in the wooks as above
described. From all the circum-
stances attending the deed 1t w;s,
undoubtedly, clear case of suicide.
When found he still held the pistol
in MS grip, indicating beyond ques-
ton his own self destruction. Mr..
Snider was about sixty years of age
and of perfectly sound mind at the
time of his death. We know not
the causes that led the old man to
this fatal step, but suppose, in the
absence of any other reason, that he
had grown weary of living and thus
decided to put an end to his exis-
tence.

It is unnecessary for us to argue
the question of selling liquor. 50
long as the law allows it to be sold it
is legal traffic, and any man has a
right to sell it who complies with
the requirements of the law. But
the point which the journal seeks to
impress upon the public is the necesSi-
ty of having law to prohibit its
sale altogether No man with eyes
and proper moral understanding
need be told how it has cursed our
fair land. Every week and every
day but brings its multiplying evi-
dinces of this fact, and it does seem
to us that every man, woman and
child in all the land ought to hearth
ly concur in wishing it banished from
the country. If man drinks it and
thus rendsrs himself liable to be-
come its victim, the greater the
reason why he should desire to see
it placed beyond his reach, for of all
the pitable objects in the world is
the man who goes staggering about
through the streets with his reason
dethroned from the excessive use OF
Intoxicating drinks.

LOYAL SOCK COAL.

From the Elmira Advertiser, Dec. 8. 1877.
A very large proportion of people who
use Coal persist in the opinion and belief
that the harder the coal the more heat il
will produce, which lie not always true,
for science and experience demonstrate
that the coal containing the largest
amount of carbon will generate the most
heat, carbon being the sole property from
which heat is obtained, and analysis show s
that some of the hardest Anthracite Goals
contain less carbon than some of the softer
ones.
Take for instance the Loyal Sock Coal.
This coal is the softest of all anthacite
Goals and yet the PUREsT anthracite yet
discovered. 1t contains 80 per cent pure
cdr6OH, which is more than any of the
others, except the mountain Lehighs, and
cery few of those exceed it, while the
Loyal Sock contains neither sulpher nor
iron, and consequently contains no chink.
ers, and its formation is such that it is
easily mined and comparatively free SLATE.
Another beauty of it is, that it all burns to
ashes and holds fire until all is consumed,
doing away with sitting ashes or picking
out slate and clinkers. Coal consumers
cannot afford neglecting to try it. 23-25
