JEWISH MISUNDERSTANDING was day known
in the Jewish calendar as Lag Der Omer thirty third
day in Omer). From the second day of the Passover
till the feast of PentecOs marriages are allowed
among the Hebrews except upon the first day Of tho
month Ey-ar-whch occurs few days after Passover
and the day above named. II is natural, therefore,
TO suppose that the number Of impatient bridegrooms
and willing brides who await the close Of that season
of denial is greater than at any other portion OF the
year. But the enreaties of the masculine and the
tears of the feminine are alike fne; the law Is mex
orabe and the lovers obliged to submit. The in
conyeniences of selfrcstran compensated for by
the Increased preparations; and a large number Of
couples waited till Thursday 10 be made units. There
was busy time among the Jewish ministers and
Browns-for the Hebrews have their Browns as wei
as their Christian brethren-whilc fayors We're at a
premium and boquets a discount. So great was the
ruth 10 be married that in one instance couple had to-
wait till p. m. before the hymenial knot was tied.
This NAV not seem to be a very great hardship but
when is stated that according to the Jewish tradition,
on the day of the ceremony the parties interested
must fast till after the ceremony the delay becomes Of
no slight Importance This year IL far ahead OF its
Predecessors in connubia statistics, ninety Jewish
couples having been joined in the holy bands Of matr-
mony on this Lag Der Omer festival.

On the very day when the Common Council received
TO spend this enormous sum for the buying the city
privilege of using untried invention there arrived
here from london, a freeseape constructed upon the
exact pattern Of those which have been successfully
