ing: ANNA .e-. rFr.r. -.
/ came to Dresden to witness the marriage of
an American lady with Norwegian. We ar
rived in season to be present at the festival of
the betrothed, called the "Polterabend." On,
entering, tea and cake were handed to us, the
supper being reserved till later hours before
the dance. Then comes all sorts of little sur
prises. A curtain rises and two ladies appear
one dressed in housewifely manner, knitting
vigorously, the other holding book. The first
insists on practical duties: implores the bride
not to allow her husbands soup to burn; the
other insists that she must read Schiller, ETC.
Various plays and conceits succeed and then
comes the supper, which we took sitting, and
which opened with soup and finished with ice
cream and fruits. At this supper little speeches
were made for the Germans and Norwegians,
unlike ourselves and the English in their
hours of happiness, sing aloud Sweet senti-
ments and hearty toasts passed round; the lat
ter were responded to by all rising and striking
their glasses.
The marriage of Miss H. R.A-n was CON-
Quoted in Lutheran style, at church, with the
exception of Norwegian custom, viz: in Nor
way the bridegroom first enters fine
church with some brother or dear friend
who places him for the ceremony then fol-
lows the bride with the father, brother or guar
dian, who places her by the side of the bride
groom. The semi-circle of the altar was adorn-
ed with flowers interspersed with lighted can
dies. The bride and bridegroom sit during the
discourse Just in front of the altar; their imme-
diate friends have chairs placed around the
semi-circle of the chancel. Two embroidered
cushions gifts of friends are placed OH the first
step of the altar for the bride and bridegroom
to kneel upon while they are pronounced man
and wife. The priest is dressed in black gown
and cap, offers prayer, and a wofully long ex-
hortation. The choir sing hymn, then the
PRIDE and bridegroom exchanae rings while
kneeiing, receive the blessing, and, rise-mar-

AID FOR DESERVING PUBLIC SERVANT
In respect to an old and esteemed public school
teacher, we would call the attention of the res
idents of Munjoy Hill to the fact that Mrs.
Martha Cumpston, one of the Oldest primary
school teachers in this city, and well known to
the people of that locality, has determined to
ask from her friends there, some aid to enable
her to rebuild her house destroyed by the late
fire.
Mrs. Cumpston has been constant teacher
in our public schools for more than twenty
three years past, greater portion of this time
among the people on the hill, and she was a
teacher at the time of the fire. Her entire
property was swept away in that dreadful con-
fagration, and the school house in which she
was teachiug having been also destroyed, she
is left not only without means, but without oc-
cupation also.
Mrs. @. has always enjoyed the reputation
of being an efficient and popular teacher
Nearly two thousand scholars have been under
her tuition during her long term of service,
many of whom are now among our most en-
terprising business men.
If each of the scholars remaining in the city
could contribute but small amount to her
aid, she would be relieved from all want
1t is hoped that those to whom application
may be made will respond cheerfully. Volun-
tary contributions by friends who may not de-
sire to await solicitation, would reach Mrs. @.
