cussed in law publications. He writes on The Law
Of New-York as to the SolemIzation Of Marriages

marriages are sometimes ignorant of legal formaii-

punishment for committing a misdemeanor clergy

the eighty little ones who are instruct
ed there every week day morning, ex-

forty eight pupils are accommodated.
Miss Mary c.. Salisbury. of Clsve-
land, thoroughly versed in the scisn-

ton, has charge of the Washington

young lsdies. These young ladies' are
undergoing q course of instruction in
kindergarten teaching principles, and
meet several afternoons daring each
week for lessons from Miss Salisbury.
The TRIBUNE will soon publish tine
annual statement of the association,
which will particularizs the work and
enlist the aid of many in supposting
the school. No material assistance has
been given the association for nearly u
