good fortune Of the writer to enjoy
IN many . year was the one 1t
which was solemn zed the union OF
Miss Brunette Aaron and Mr.. Isa-
dors Levy, on Sunda, last, at the
residence Of Mr.. n. Levy, in Man
deville. It was = family affair,
nevertheless the attendance was
large and the merriment unb0unded.
The ceremony was performed by
Rabbi Sessler, of New Orleans,
under = canopy held BY four friends
OF the happy couple. The solemn
service of the Hebrew church
proved interesting and impressive,
and the elegant words Of the learned
Rabbi sank deep in the hearts of
his auditors.
The ceremony over, the guests
were conducted to the dining room,
where . sumptuous feast received
due attention. Between the con
sumption of choice viands, the
earnest tOssting Of the gallant
groom and winsome bride, as well
~ tie joyful parents Of the former,
interesting chatter, dancing, ETC..
the hours sped with the rapidity Of
moments.
"And when the day was done,
full many heart was sad, and
wished that It had juet begun"
The happy couple were the re-
oipients Of manv beautiful, some
costly, presents. X.

May they still live in heaven above.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BEE.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BEE,
 An army of 9,457 school children, between four and 16 years of age, was enumerated in this state, October 1893. The number of different scholars regis tered in the public schools was 136, ,047; or 80 2S per cent of those enumerated. The number of enumerated children in other than public schools was 2l, ,460; and the number of enumerated children in no school was g ,605. The number registered who were over 16 years ofage was 4435. The per cent in all schools was 92.94 and the per cent of average attendance was B 9S. Under the head of Fairfield County, the state report says: ''It would be very interesting in- quiry to ascertain how the education which che schools supply is estimated by the people. Perhaps the attendance of children between the ages of eight and l3 gives a fair indication of the value attached to the schools. Of the children enrolled, about 51 per cent are in actual attendance. This means that half are either negligently or necessa- rily absent from school. Not many of these are employed, because the child labor law prevents. Poverty is not a frequent cause, because the law makes provision for those without clothing. The main causes are: l Indifference ? Want of appreciation of schooling. The latter cause is operative chiefly among those who have recently come to this state from foreign countries, and do not care about schooling. The law relating to attendance generally influences this class, and as soon as they understand that their children must go they acqui- esce. Compulsory education has had a fair trial in the state, and an especial test in this country."-[O. o. Wright.

OBJECTS TO THAT PROPOSED SIDEWALK

I see in the editorial of last weeks BEE revival of the subject of side walk from the Street to Sandy Hook and the question is asked "How many of our readers are in favor of having a good walk laid from the street to Sandy Hook" :" do not think there is one of your read CTS either in this town or any other who would object to having such a walk laid. But, whether all your readers are willing to help pay for such walk is looking at the matter in another light. The tax payers of the rural districts feel as if they should not be taxed to pay for such i'm provements where the benefits are purely local. It is difficult to get enough money for the main roads leading to the center to keep them in a passable condition. We are all the while being shortened on our benefits while more and more is being ex- pended in the center.
 "How many voters know that such a vote was taken March l3, 1SS6." That is just it. How many know. Altho' the voters in the two villages do not outnum- Der the voters outside, it is safe to say that if the two villages could agree on any improvement they wished to make, be it to build a sidewalk or a trolley sys. tenn whereby they could be more neigh borly, a town meeting could be called following out all the requirements of the law and perhaps not one half of the vot- CTS of the rural districts would know of
 it till it was all over with and then they have nothing to do but pay the added tax
 I believe in cities or boroughs it is not unusual to tax property outside of the city or borough limits for city or bor- ough improvements. Each property owner is taxed for the walk facing his property and is obliged to keep it clean ed off and it strikes me that if this walk be built it would be quite an addition tc our bill for snow shoveling, for the walk would be of no benefit during the winter unless cleaned off after every snow storm It seems to me sidewalk between the Uwu vnIages should be buuJ without call ing on the taxpayers of the whole towr to build it, either by village improve
 ment society or by subscriptions iron those who are able to help in such gooC | work and from those who are benefited
 The "summer boarder' is held out as ar inducement to have these walks. If the village will be more attractive to the "summer boarder" if possessed of this convenience, those who reap the benefit: of the "summer boarder'' should pay fol it. No doubt if the town would give us good roads from the center to our farms and free rural delivery of the mails, we
 too might draw the t'summer boarder.' How many in the villages would be vii l ling to be taxed for those Improvements and conveniences? You asked for tn, opinions of ''one and all" Let us hea | from "all." These are the opinions O. G"One."
