When replacing two old switches. I found that one switch had a black and white wire attached, as normal, while the other one and two black wires attached to from different runs and the two white wires from the two runs wire nutted together. Shouldn't there actually be three switches here?

Thanks for the effort, but I fugured it out. I think many people didn't understand what I was talking about. I had to explain it two or three times to everyone I told about it. It isn't a three way switch. It is a single pole switch. The two black wires are from two seperate wire runs. Each one goes to the two overhead lights in the room. To make things more confusing, the reason that it didn't work after I (acidently) popped the breaker after I tried to re-wire the whole thing is because that one switch is on two different breakers. Again, I don't know how this works, but when I popped the breaker I popped two (I have two breaker boxes). I didn't know this so when I tripped the one back on it didn't work. When I discovered that there were two breakers in different locations that controlled the same switch I put everything back the way it was and tried a different switch. This time I flipped both breakers back on. It now works fine. A side note to that story. I didn't know about the second breaker because all the other electricity in the house was working. My brother-in-law acctually suggested that since there were two runs that it might have another breaker. Apparently the other breaker only does the light switch, but the one I knew of does the whole room. Weird? Yes. To code? I doubt it. Thanks for the effort, but I fugured it out.
