We give place to the following commu
nication, believing it right to make such
complaintspublic, when the usual pri
vate importunity proves ineffectual. We
know netting of the facts, and can an
swer only , one of the, queries, the ques
tiorOiwhOer the= money expended for
branch pipes should have been emended
in: buying 1 up the Water Committee?"
We ansvrer that it should not, and that
we believe the members of that Commit
tee are incapable of the crime implied by
the question. We may add that the au
thor of • the article is a responsible and
highly respectable citizen, every way en
titled t&be heard: 41
..Ennorts GAsErria : Can you inform
me of ' the inecessary means or ways of
having the water pipes laid on ouretreet,
(Beech street, Allegheny.) Two years
ago I built s house on this street, and on ,
application ter the proper authorities (by
petition)• fOr water privileges, was in
formed that there were no: sufficient
houses on the street to warrant the out
lay. I then had the water pipes on
Grant Avenue tapped, and a bran* '
brought to My_ building, at an expense
of between one and two hundred dollars.
One. year ago We had ten bouses on the
street and sent in another petition for the
water privilege. and were again refused.
Since that time we have other buildings
on our street, and I have been inforfned
the reason 'why the water pipes are nut
put down is that, a large property owner
on the street refuses to buy city bonds,.
certainly a very excellent reason why
the other property owners should be de
prived of their privileges. As the
Wises on the street are all fl no and rather
elegartt buildings, the owners (who oc
cupy the buildings,) have been compelled
to bring branch pipes to their houses at
their own expense. The city authorities
though neglecting. our wants, have not
forgotten to tax me this year $22 75 for
water rent, and I think $26 last year.
Now, please tell me, should we have
spent the money we paid for bringing
the water branches to our houses in buy
ing up the Water Cointnittee, or donating
it in some way other than a bribe?
Other streets with but one and two
houses on them have the waterprivilege;
then, why not ours? BEEMI

Should' the dispute between the factory
hands at Preston and their employers
not terminate shortly, says a Liverpool
paper of the 30th tilt., there 3s every
probability of a large exodns of opera
tives from the Mersey.. There is a gen
eral belief in Liverpool that there are
several active American agents at work
in that country, and especially in Lan
cashire. During the late strikes In the
cotton districts a large lumber of the
Most experienced operatives bad their
passage free to New York, and thence to ,
Lowell. _The same work is now going
on in connection with Preston—that;.is,
not a steamer leavee the Mersey now but
what carries out a number of factory
hands. Although there exists no saike
of importance in 'the Black Country at
present, yet the number of comfortable
and well-to-do looking men and women
which heave Liverpool almost daily for
New York, en. route to the iron works at
Fittebttagh, is suggestive of some agency
at work.

Vi edding Rings in Engi4nd.
Although a ring is absolutely neces
sary in a Church of England nrarriase,
it may be of any metal, and of any. size.
Some years since a ring of, brass was
used at Worcester at a wedding before
the registrar, who was threatened with
proceeding or not compelling avoid one
to be employed. A story Is told of , the
wedding of two paupers, who came to
the church and requested to be married
with the church key, as the parochial au
thorities had not furnished them with a.
ring. The clerk, feeling some delicacy
about using the key, fetched an old cur
tain ring fronahis -own house, and with
that article thimarriage was, celebrated.

wasonot a solitary instance within Abe
past one hundred years in this country.
The'Duke of Hamilton was married at
May- Fair with a bed-curtain ring.
"Notes and Queries" for October, 1860,
relates that a. ring of leathery cut trans
versely from a finger of the bridegroom's
glove, was used as a substitute for the
wedding ring on one occasion. A clergy
-man unjustifiably stopped a wedding in
'lndia because the bridegroom offered a
diamond ring instead of one generally in
use. In Ireland the use of 3 gold ring is
superstitiously required.
