I'HOF. C. W. IIKHMAN ltf.-K!.KCTKI ON THK loth h.u.i.ot. In accordance with the call of county Superintendent Herman, the school directors of Snyder coun ty met in convention at the Court house, Mi. Idle',, urgh on Tuesday, May f, for the purpose of electing a superintendent of the public schools of Snyder county for the next three years. The meeting wan ca''ed t order by Supt. Herman promptly at 12::H. M. K. H issingerof Frank liu township was elected chairman and F. F. Bower, Esq., and Miles Wetzel Secretary. T. J. Smith, F.sq , J. H. l lsh and .1. (r. Snyder were appointed a committee to examine the credentials of the candidates. They reported that all candidates were properly qualified. Promptly at 1 o'clock the candidates vcio an nounced and balloting began -!: directors responding as fo"ows: "U I -t : ;. tl T 9 In t'. W.

Herman was declared re-elected upon the tenth br'lot having rccchcd ."iH votes - being a majority of 17 over a" the other can didates. It Was a hotly contested election, but the public rejoiced to see tint politics did not enter the contest as a prominent factor thus carrying out the spirit as will as the letter of the law. A'' the candidates are honorable gentlemen, and. individually, behav ed as such throughout. Any one of them would have filled tho otlice vith credit, but Mr. Herman had the advantage of a very successful term of otlice behind him, had made a warm friend of every one who knew him thoroughly, and he now enters upon his second term with that greatest of a" encouragements the positive endorsement of Un people w hom he served. News is as scarce as hen teeth t his w eel;. "Mr. . 'idiew young," says the Church man, "the writer of the n -ligious song, 'There is a Happy Land, Far, Far Away,' is still alive, u man no years of age, vigorous in mind and body, and ha ing nil that sympathy for children without which it is impossible to influence the ll 1 1 If ones for good. It is about fifty years since these words were written to the music of an Indian air, and they have since been trans lated into nineteen languages." In a case just disposed of, the supreme court of Indiana has de cided that a will made on Sunday is valid. It holds that the drafting and executingof a wi" are akin to the execution of a marriage contract and solemnizing the marriage. "Tho statute," the court notes, "makes it a penal offense to be found engaged in common labor or in one's usual vocation. It certainly could not be contended that a minister of the gospel engaged in solemnizing n marriage on Sunday or a lawyer writing a will to bo executed on Sunday would bo subject to indict ment and prosecution fora violation of the statute." The late Rev. Heiuy Ward Beet h er received a letter from a young man, who recommended himself as being honest, and closed with the request : 'Give mean easy situation, that honesty may be rewarded.' To which Mr. Beecher replied: 'Don't be an editor, if you would be 'easy.' Do not try the law. Avoid school keeping. Keep out of the pulpit. Let alone a" ships, stores, shops and merchandise. Abhor politics. Keep away from lawyers. Don't practice. Be not a farmer or me chanic : neither a soldier nor sailor Don't study. Dou't think. Don't work. None of these are easy. Oh my honest friend, you are in a very hard world ! I don't know of but one real 'easy' place in it. That is tho grave. Withdrawal of the Reward. Krma I lie suiilnin Newt. Siiamokin Dam, May 1, lfS'.i. Some one, whom we suppose "knows it all,'' states in yesterday's Siinbury "Daily 'that the detective who has been working on the llano murder case for the last three months has given up the job and le turiied to his home in Philadelphia, etc. We beg leave to inform the most Woith.v sir that the de tective's home is not in Phila.h lph iii. and that he has only worked on the case for :tu days and then did not wot k for reward but on a fixed salary and is at present employed by th uiimissiouci s, which justifies them in withdrawing the reward. By the tone of the ' Daily" article he would try and have the people believe that Snyder county was afraid the murderer might be found and then Would be called Upon to handover the sl.noo reward. Oh, no; be Snyder county people mean business ami will ferret out the per petrators, regardless of cost, and the mystery Will t ie long be ( haled up.
