only sexton's record we, know of in
Snyder county. The day is already
at hand when information concern
ing early settlers is eagerly sought
after and as time passes, it will be
at a higher premium. !;
IN view of this, the pastors OF
the various congregations Of ofSnyder
county will be asked to keepa care
full record Of all people connected
with their congregations and this
deposited in the church for the infor-
nation of historians OF future gen.
erations. At present. the marriage
license docket is paving the way as
n means of utility for future infor-
nation. The Posi- is now compile
ing and publishing the marriages of
Snyder county for the past 3Oyears.
We cannot get them al. We can
get only those whose marriages
were published in the Posi- at the
time of the occurrence and we can
not get all of those as some cop,es
are still missing from our files.
When we get down to October 1885,
we will take them from the mar
riave license docket. This record,
when completed for 80 years, will
contain 1000 marriages. They will
then be put in hook form. The
marriage records of Rev. A. b.
Casper, Rev. Erlenmeyer, and Revs.
J. p. Shindel, Sr. and Jr., SHOULD be
published and probably will. Att
present, the PosT is gathering the
tombstone Inscriptions of all the
cemeteries and burying grounds in
Snyder county. These will be
published in the Posi- and will re-
surrcct some data of the very earliest
settlers in Snyder county and in fact
of people who have lived here for
125 to $50 years. What a pity |
that al. graves are not marked! But
there are from 10000 to 10000
graves that are marked and the
people buried here are the ancestors
for 3, 4 and even 5 generations ago.
The record of all these marriages
and tombstone inscriptions will be
put in book form eventually, when
Snyder county will have more
record of births, deaths
and marriages in one volume than
any other county in Pennsylvania.
It will be a book OF reference of
Snyder county-such as has never
been published Of one county.
In the pursuit Of this task, we
have felt very keenly the need Of
better church recordsand, hence, we
look to the pastors OF Snyder county
to endeavor, if possible, to give us
records that will stay with the
churches where the inhabitants are
born, live and die.
The Snyder County Historical
Society will do all in its power to
collect and preserve historical data
concerning events and early settlers
and endeavor to put in good shape
the records OF the present so that
future historians will not be hamper
I'd with the lack ofrecords that sur
rounds the local historian ofthe pres

Some Money for the Capitol.

The liquor licenses have now all
been lifted and it isinteresting to note
some statistics concerning the fund.
The money received was as follows: /:

l 4" twp.) 1875
25 Hotel &" twp. )ats10O $500
6 e" (boro.) 1900
81 Total $4625
OF this S4625, the sum of $3.50
goes to the state, 1920 goes back to
the townships and boroughs for
improving the publicroads and $555
to the County, less the county Treas
urer's commission on the above
Under the act of 1897,
township hotel licenses were raised
from S75 to one 500 and those in
bOroughs from Sl5O to $ZOO.
Bottlers' licenses in townships were
raised from $3.50 to 1926 and in
boroughs from 5000 to $3.50. Under
the law prior to the act Of 1897
the state would receive $500 from
the amount, but now it will receive
$1O5O more by virtue Of this act.
This will afford the state the sum
Of $1O5O extra money from Snyder
county to apply to the capitol fund
and it gives Snyder county chance
to own a part Of the New capitol
building.

. little Spanish girl of great beauty
ana personal attractions, who seemed
" him out OF place amid her surround
.nss, says the Century. He picked up
the ilttle wild rose as 1t grew on the
roadside. and conceived the no.
tion Of transplanting 1t. He took
tne child to Paris, where he
left her in a convent to be ed
ucated. On his return to Paris after
several years Of brilliant campaigning
ne fell in love with her, and, breaking
through all rules of French matrimo-
NAL usage, married her. After several
years OF happy married life the general
left her to take command of the army
IN Mexico. While he was away ON this
expedition the news of her death
reached him. After funeral mass,
which he heard with his officers, he re-
tlred to his tent and, alone, fought the
hardest OF battles and conquered his
own heart. In few days he returned
TO his duty and no one ever knew
Wnat had passed in his innermost soul.
Two years later a ball was given at
the quarter general. Bazzaine, who
had lately been promoted to the rank
OF marshal 1850, had stopped for
moment to say few words. when one
OF his guests. young Mexican girl,
who was standing by, suddenly stopped
near us, having torn her dress. Pins
were produced, the damaged ruffle was
repaired and the girl passed on. who
is it?" asked the marshal, evidently
much struck with her appearance. "It
Is extraordinary" he muttered. how
much she reminds me of my wife," He
looked distrait. and shortly afterward
excused himself and wandered of in
the direction Mdlle. de la Pena had
taken. The courtship was short one.
Macmillan, in order to facilitate
union which he deemed to be in the
interest of his government, gave the
young girl as dowry the palace Of
San Cosme, valued at 100000; and
thus was May united to December. Two
children were born to the marshal. one
of them in Mexico, and never was faith
er prouder of his young wife and Of
her offspring than was the marshal.
