Rev. Jacob Snider Dead.

The following in regard to a
former well known citizen of this
place, but for the past twenty
three years resident of Waynes-
boro appeared in Mondays
(Chambersburg) Valley Spirit:
"WAYNEsBoRo, Dec. 10.-This
community was shocked this
morning by the announcement of
the sudden death of Rev. Jacob
Snider at his home ON Main
street. Rev. Snider, who was
more popularity known as Bishop
Snider, had not been in the best
of health for a few days, but the
community was not prepared for
the announcement of his death,
which occurred about / o'clock.
Rev. Snider was about IS years
old. He came to this place from
Fulton county more than twenty
years ago, engaging in business
here. He was a deeply pious
man, a forceful preacher and a
good citizen. The German Bap-
tist church, with which he was
so prominently identified, will
miss him greatly. Besides his
widow, he is survived by three
sons and four daughters. Those
living in Waynesboro are p. M.
and Charles d., Mrs. John East
on and an unmarried daughter,
at home"
Twenty-Five years ago Rev.
Snyder was in the shoe business
in this place, having u store in
what is now part of Stouteagle
Bros.
He was a brother of George
Snyder and Mrs. Jacob Rotz of
Tod township. and Of Mrs. Riley
Peck in this place.
Besides the children mention
ed above are Celia, (Mrs. Robin
sony of New York; Lucy, (Mrs.
Clay Indiana, Maize (Mrs. Roy
err, Maggie, (Mrs. Kauffman), and
Laura, (Mrs, Conrad), Ohio.
1t has been but few weeks
since Mr.. Snyder was over
among his friends here. He
seemed to be in excellent health
not lookinig more aged than
twenty years ago.

From Hancock to Everett.

A correspondent in the Everett
Press last week has this to say
about a route for a railroad that
would interest the people in the
southwestern part of thiscounty.
Railroad from Hancock to
Everett The shortest route by
one who has been over the line at
different times and knows the lay
of the county well. Served as a
rodsman with Engineer corps
for eight years. The route will
be easily graded and make a short
line west, being thirty-three
miles from Hancock, Maryland, to
Everett, Pa. Starting at the Poto-
mac river near Hancock, thence
north up the Tonoloway Creek to
Deneen's gap of Sideling Hill,
thence west up through McKees
gap of Rays Hill, thence north
west to headwaters of the south
branch to Tonoloway to a spur of
Rays Hill, known as the bark
sheds ridge. This ridge will
have TO be tunneled four hundred
feet through to southeast branch
of Sideling Hill creek, thence
west to Addison's ridge, one
mile west of Robinsonville. This
ridge will require a tunnel of
three hundred and fifty feet to
hollow, that runs west to west
branch of Sideling Hill creek.
Thence northwest to Shaffer's
creek, thence northwest along
thus creek to Clearville thence to
Everett.
This would make fifty eight
miles from Hancock to Hyndman,
making a short line for the b. O.
o., west. 1t will open up a large
scope of country rich in minerals,
that has no railroads, plenty of
iron ore, and vast beds of fine fire
clay"

A Visit to Maryland.

Saturday morning, November
25th, Mr.. Henry p. Vanclief and
Asa Mellott and their wives, of
Whips Cove, started on journey
to the eastern shore of Maryland
to visit their relatives, Mr.. d. M.
Mellott and family, formerly of
this county. The party was
joined in Baltimore by Samuel
Meilott, and they left by steamer
for Cambridge where they arriv-
ed Sunday morning. 1t was
their intention to take their niece
Mrs. James T. Parks by surprise
on her birthday, and the other
members of the family arriving
later it was made a very happy
occasion.
The next few days were spent
in admiration of the beautiful
farms, which in that section are
nearly level and, having no stone,
are so easily TILED, in enjoyment
of the products of the river, and
in social intercourse with the
people of that section famous the
world over for their hospitality.
Thanksgiving day was spent at
Mr.. D. M. 'Mellott's home at
Gluckheim, and was the occasion
for a pleasant family reunion
long to be remembered, for it
was the last day one of their
number was to be with them.
When their host retired for the
night he was apparently as well
as ever, but while he slept his
spirit crossed the dark river.
Heart disease, the existence of
which was known only to himself
and the family doctor, had caused
his death.
The funeral was held Saturday
afternoon and many were the ex-
pressions of regret from the large
circle of his acquaintances and
friends, for Mr.. Mellott was an
honest, hard working, kind heart
ed man, a good neighbor and a
good citizen.
Mr.. Vanclief, his wife, and
nephew prolonged their stay un-
til Tuesday when they returned
to their home. They wished to
express their good opinion of the
place, of their visit and the people
whom they met and to say that
the saddened thoughts caused by
the death of one they loved will
not be all the memories they will
carry away with them, but kind
ly thoughts for those whose
friendship they knew in a time of
sorrow.

The Late School Report.

From the last Annual Report of
the Superintendent of Public In
struction, we gather the following
interesting facts concerning the
public schools of Pennsylvania
Number of schools, 1858, or 80
less than $4,000; number of male
teachers, $500 and of female,
10, 469. The male teachers are
paid an average salary of S44.2 % a
month, the femaleteac S37. S4.
The average length of school term
in months is about "a. In round
numbers, there are 1852 thousand
pupils and the State spent on the
education of her boys and girls
during the last year over twenty
million dollars-or about seven
teen dollars and half on each
one.
With reference to Fulton coun-
ty we notice, that while we are
not smallest in size or population
we stand at the foot of the class
in a number of things pertaining
to our educational affairs.
We find we are lowest in esti-
mated value Of school property,
having little more than % thous-
and dollars worth; we are lowest
in average monthly wages Of male
teachers-S26.35; (There are half
a dozen counties in the State,
however, that pay their lady
teachers a lower salary than Full
TOM; and we stand next to the
foot in length of term, only
green" county being below us.
The highest average salaries
are paid by Delaware county
males SO. .43 and females, S46.67;
then, Allegheny county follows.
There are four counties having
an average length Of term of more
than 9 months; 13, with a term
exceeding 8 months, and 46, ex-
ceeding : months.
Nine of our teachers received
permanent certificates, while in
IA counties not a permanent was
granted. This would Indicate
that, while our salaries are low
and our terms short, the qualiti-
cation of the teachers is high.
Fulton county has in round
numbers 5000 pupils.
The County Superintendent
granted 81 provisional and II
professional certificates. We will
add just here, that any teacher
holding a professional, that does
not avail himself of the first OPP
portunity to go before the COM
mittee and be examined for a
permanent, is not worthy to hold
a professional.
