Your petitioners, aware that difference of
opinion upon this subject may be found to exist.
either in relation to the whole or parts of said
route but, feeling an anxiety that such result
may finally be arrived at as will be likely to
afford the greatest amount of public acco,nmo
dation, they offer, respectfully, this petition to
your honorable body, at the same time express
ing the belief that few ineonsiderabe altera.
tons, is all that is now required. But if on
full examination, your honorable body shall be
OF the opinion that greater alterations are nee.
essary, then your petitioners respectfully repre-
sent that, in their opinion, more favorable
route may be adopted than The present location.
Wherefore they pray that your honorable body
will view the present route from the Canal
bridge by the Burbank lock, on the Blackstone
Canal, TO the burying ground before mentioned,
and cause to be located road in such place or
places, as shall be deemed most advisable.

now endeavor to shew that the parties to the

to decide, through their agents, upon the extent
of the powers delegated by that constitution :;
we will also inquire who are their proper agents
for this purpose and will briefly notice some of
the most prominent objections which are com.
monty urged against our conclusions.
IL is manifest that the constitution of the Uni

Intelligent reader, to point out and examine the
various occasions upon which the different de.
partments, and inferior officers of the gove,n-
ments both of the several states, and of The Uni.
ted States, are required, in the DISCHARGE of
their respective duties, to construe the constitu
ton. We will however, notice few instances.
in order TO see how far, and upon whom, these
constructions may be obligatory.

MISCELLANEOUS.
FOR THE VIRGINIA. ADvoc ATr
a GREEK WEDDING.

The description of Greek Wedding
is the annexed extract of a letter from
a young Officer of our Navy, is lively
picture of the manners of the Sevant.-
1t is dated Smyrna, December 1, 1926,
and addressed - one of tie writer's near
relations.
81 was invited the other day 10 q
Greek wedding, and was a kind of
groonsman on the occasion. After COL
leclng all the company at the house, a.
mounting TO nearly forty, we each took
a lady, and commenced our procession
TO the church about furlong distant,
llanked Oh each side, and at distance
from each ether of ten feet, by boys,
carrying large lanterns with three candles
IN each. The streets of this place are
about Ten feet in width, very dirty, and
very badly paved. On our arrival at the
church, we entered the chancel, the
bride and groom kneeled down and the
Armenian Bishop commenced in Mod
ern Greek, interspersed here and there
with Latin, the marriage ceremony. No
one said word, save the Bishop and
his assistant, who made regular respon-
ses, and told the bride and groom when
10 exchange rings, which was all they
did in the ceremony. After at least
twenty minutes, he declared them man
and wife, and we went into the vestry
room to witness the marriage contract.
That done, we departed in the same
manner as we came. Meanwhile, the
inhabitants of every house which we
passed on our way to the church ware
prepared Tor our return, and we were de-
luged with otto OF roses, diluted with wa
ter, and pelted with plums of all sizes
and kinds. | received a blow on my
check, the effects Of which, felt all next
day; and several of the ladies' were hurt,
though better prepared for the peltng,
as they expected it. On our arrival at
the house we were received by an Aus
lrlan man Of var, playing" Hail Coum-
bia," and marched up stairs, (every bo-
dy lives on the second floor, to that tune.
AS soon as the bride was seated, the fun
commenced. The groom kissed her
first, and then every body followed so
good an example, so that she received
about forty kisses. After all had kissed
the bride, we commenced kissing the
brides maids, end then every woman in
the room, old and young, handsome and
ugly. The handsome girls received at
least dozen times as many kisses as the
ugly ones, as we being strangers, were
not supposed to know that one kiss was
all that was necessary, and therefore gave
them three or four. In fact, | never saw
a real kissing match before. The ladies'
took it all in good part, and pouted their
lips, as much as to say-kiss away. Su-
gar plums, coffee, liquors, sc. were then
handed round, and as soon as we had
drank to the health, long life, &c., orthc
bride, she commenced, and was followed
by all the other ladies, thro wing handfuls
of sugar plums at us. We returned the
salute, and Tor five or ten minutes there
was grand discharge. When our am
munltion was exhausted, we commenced
dancing, and kept it up till half past
three. The bride retired at eleven, and
was put to bed with all the ceremonies
of throwing the stocking, breaking the
cake, &C."
