A Philological Reality.
It may be interesting to note any
discovery that may le made which
affects the iieoole of Snyder County,
In inakintfun index ot the surnames
which :ijjH-ar in the book on "Sny
der County Marriages, 1835-99,"
we have discovered that outofabout
15.000 names anuearinir in tins
volume there are 1818 different sur
names, or family names. Among
the letters ot the alphabet WO give
below the number of different sur
names beginning with A, B, C, etc.
A, 53; 1!. 195; C, 82; I), 88; E,
52; F, 86; G, 99; H, 153; I, 7; J,
12; K, 107; L, 78; M, 135; N, 23;
(), 22; P, 36; Q, 2; R, 114; S, 243;
T,44;l!, 7; V, 15; W, 122; X, 0;
Y, 18j Z, 17. Total 1.S13.
A careful study of the above will
be quite B revelation to those who
have never thought of the relative
number of names that htgin with
the different letters ot the alphabet
The volume above referred to is
the first publication of such date of
any county in Pennsylvania and
should be in the hands of any tme
who wishes to Ixi thorougly familiar
with the local history of Snyder
county. All history is the result of
the deeds f men and this volume
forms a verv imiMirtant element of
the deeds ot mankind. Considering
the amount of lalwir required the
Mice of the book should lie $5.00
per volume, but to all residents of
Snyder County and readers of the
Post, we will make the net price
$3.00 per volume. An agent is
wanted in every district of the coun
ty. For information concerning
terms and territory tall upon or ad
