A Wedding Furore.

The other night, as the wedding parties
from this city reached New York, the ex-
press train entered the Grand Central depot,
by flying switch, the engine 81 standing
beside the train as it passed, blowing in ex-
ultation over the quick time made from this
city. Torpedoes exploded by the moving
train added to the uproar, as the engines
supposed to be sleeping in the New York
round house blew their whistles, aud RANG
their marriage bells. Pandemonium seemed
to be outdone- The quiet bridal parties must
have wished they were miles over the seas.

A correspondent Is. T. d. writes as fol-
lows: seYour article in Saturdays issue on
Public Schools contains statement which,
in order to be true, would need some modlfi-
cation. It is as follows
Two years ago. we are informed, writing was not
taught to very young pupils in our schools II was
withheld until pupils had attended school for several
Now, pupils in year or two begin to learn to
write
81 have been familiar with the work in New
Haven schools for four years, and as far as L
know the only important change in the mat
ter of writing in primary rooms has been the
introduction of pen, ink and writing books
in rooms where the pupils are from to
years old, instead of waiting until they are
two or three years older This change was
needed in order to place our schools in line
with those of other cities where the best
methods are used. But as far as am aware,
no material change has been made in the
time of beginning to teach writing, nor Is 1t
true that writing is or ever was withheld for
any considerable time. SOME of our
schools do, and have for quite
number of years, taught the writing
of script to pupils of five years Immediately
upon entrance to school, and have continued
the same by the use of slate, or paper and
pencil, through the several primary grades.
Others have occupied from six months to one
year in teaching the printing of words and
sentences in both large and small letters, be-
lieying that this practice is not only valuable
in itself, but that it is the best and most
natural preparation. for the acquisition and
use of script The question which method is
best is an open one; but it is certain that ex-
cellent results are produced by either. 1t
may also be said that, while penmanship has
for long time, been taught as have indi-
Gated, more attention is justly being paid in
all our schools to language and expression,
and this opens the way for a more constant
and practical use of pen and pencil; which is
a good thing if not carried to excess.
ST offer this correction, as it is highly i'm
portant that patrons and supporters
should know that, in this matter at least, we
are walking in the light, and in general are
not blind to any possibilities of improve
ment."

= Last evening at Germania Hall there was a
fine performance of German fairy piece,
called ''Schneewitehen by den Zwergen. :"
The piece was very creditably performed,
each of the little actors doing their full share
towards making the piece a success, espe-
cially Miss Emile Schneeloch, who displayed
great talent both in acting and also in sing
ing. Miss Schneeloch took the main part in
an English piece given at the Atheneum a
short time ago, called "Red Riding Hood, :"
which was her first appearance Since then
she has been very i'll. The net receipts will
be used for the purchase of library for the
German-American school, the last one having
been destroyed by fire. Mr.. Herman
Trisch, an instructor at the school, is to be
thanked for it all. as he is the gentleman who
has instructed the children in the piece, and
no doubt it has cost him good deal of labor.

The question of the cemetery enlargement
recalls to citizens of Fair Haven, and to some
of our residents this side Mill river, the time
when this same subject came up number of
years ago. At that time the future need of
more ground was under discussion and a
committee was appointed to examine sites for
q new ground over back of Fair Haven
Heights. The committee examined level
tract lying back of the Heights west of Grand
street. of which they thought quite favora-
bly,. They also took into consideration a
tract lying northward, above Hemingway
town, which was also suitable. The matter
fell through for some reason or other, per-
haps because there was no pressing necessity
for a new site. The present discussion brings
back the above Renaissance, and some there
are who will like to see the project of a new
site revived, the growth of Fair Haven being
SO rapid, and the day when the present GEM
etery will be inadequate being not very far
ahead. The enlargement of the old grounds
is advocated strongly by some of the promi-
nent men of the place, who hold that there is
no valid reason or objection to an enlarge
ment, and the sanitary objections are not of
much Importance and the result of squeam-
ishness rather than of public importance.
Others hold that as the soil is light and gray
ely the water in the wells in the vicinity will
be injuriously affected.
