JONES RIDGE, UNION DISTRICT,
Feb. 27-We are glad that the New
DoMINIoN's course is still onward
and upward and true to the line.
We congratulate you on The contin
ued improvement of your paper. We
love to read Bohemian Girls let
ters-they are sensible, practical
and to the point. You have a corps
of correspondents that know how TO
write letters of interest. When we
get our paper, we turn first to the
correspondent column for interest
ing and newsy reading concerning
matters over the county. Now,
that Morgantown has railroad and
two newspapers, second to none in
the State, she will be like "a city set
on hill that cannot be hid, but
giving light to all that are in the
State. We feel like rejoicing over
the success that has already been
achieved.
The sentiment of the Wadestown
letter in your issue of the goth OF
February, meets our hearty concur
renee. The bible is the foundation
of all good civil law, and should be
read in every school in this broad
land of ours. We heard an excel
lent teacher, who had followed that
calling for 30 years, and taught in
6 or States, say that he would not
think of taking charge of a school
unless he was granted the privilege
of reading the bible and asking
Gods blessing on the school each
morning ere commencing theslabors
of the day" There are probably
teachers who will sneer at this view
of the subject, but we feel sorry fol
them, and would not trust child
over which we have control in then
hands.

One Francis Marion Snyder, of
Greene county, Pa, has come to
grief. If all reports be true he has
been putting on airs in our neigh.
boring county as a detective and
criminal hunter, but the other man
has turned hunter and Francis Ma
rion Snyder has been dumped into
the Washington cooler The Repub-
Hcan, of that place, talks this way
about him:
Detective Snyder has been opera
ting in this county for some time
past, claiming, as we understand it.,
to be acting under the direction of
the Youngstown, Ohio, detective
agency. Previous to the advent
among us he figured quite extern
sively in Fayctte county, and while
there heralded his comings and go
ings, according to the Uniontown
STANDARD, with great noise and
much loud talk. His ventures in
Fayette county in the detective line,
however, were of such a character as
to behoove him to make himself
scarce in that section, suddenly,
sinch whice time he has been affiict-
ing the good people of this county
with his presence, and has figured
quite extensively before the grand
juries at the last several courts, at a
cost, too, to the county of something
between $4,000 and $4,000. He has
caused the arrest of quite number
of persons in different parts of the
county, on divers charges; but has
thus far failed to substantiate any
of them.
Just previous to the last term of
Court Snyder had warrant issued
for Henry Closer charging him with
the burning Of G. w. l.. Johnson's
barn. Alleging that Closer should
have told him (Snyder,) of the burn
ing, making a clean breast of the
matter, and that Closer did this at
night in fit Of confidence while
sleeping with Snyder. Closer gave
bail before the court for his appear
ance at the next term. Closer has,
as above stated, had the detective
arrested, for criminal libel, growing
out of the transmission of letter
