Ia its earliest form it was established by group of families, holding together for mutual protection and cultivating the soil in accordance with a common sjstem.

Among the as described by the Soman antbor Tacitus, it existed long before the establishment cf settled government. Tbe Romans named it vicus, or Tillage comnnnity; bnt tbe Germans themselves termed it mark; because it waa surrounded by a mark, or boundary, which was originally a atrip of land on which no one was allowed to settle. The earliest laws were determined by ihe township meeting, and ages passed before a central government appeared which claimed to do more than to settle difficulties between adjacent When the Angles and Saxons migrated to Britain they bore with them their Tentonie ideas of local government; and by whatever name it may have been known whether mark, vicus, wapentake, hundred, township, or parish this was this fnndamental organization that constituted the foundation of the state. By the introduction of the fendal system, it is true, social conditions were greatly obscured bat the people, at any rate, continued to believe that tbe township had a right to protest against any injustice on tbe part of the general government; and the township meeting became tbe foundation of civil liberty. In America the historical progress was somewhat diflerent.

The earliest settlements were, indeed, in many instances compelled by the exigencies of their situation to adopt some form of local government before the boundaries of the colonies and counties bad been ally determined bat more generally it was the colonial government that established the counties, at the same time granting to the district courts authority to organize the townships. In the foundation of onr own county of Lancaster these two processes may be ss id to have been in some sense united. There were a lew early settlements which had been named by the pioneers, and several of them had been recognized as townships by the connty of Chester, which claimed jurisdiction over all this regioL bnt when tbe connty of Lancaster was established by the colonial Legislature, it was one of the first acts of tbe court to divide its territory into townships and to give them names.

The bridegroom was Mooney Schreiber, whose father is the foremost Hebrew saloon keeper on the east side from East Broadway to Fourteenth street. The bride was Miss Flora Cohn, the secretary of the Young Ladies' ist Side Aid association.

A. B. S. Previous to the fire the only note of discord that was sounded emanated from a member of the orchestra, who was entrusted with the arduous duty of beating a bass dram. Mr.

Schreiber had engaged Jacob Rachmiel's orchestra for the occasion. Part of Mr. Rachmiel's contract wis that he should play Mendelssohn's wedding march as the bridal party entered the synagogue. The music of tho wedding march had apparently been mislaid, for when the conple walked in, the orchestra, consisting of the cornetist, flautist and bass drum assaulter, struck np "Comin' Thro' the Rye." The rabbi took his place and paused for the band to stop. The man at the bass drum evidently had a strong desire to work for his money.

He refused to stop and the rabbi couldn't proceed. A delegation was appointed to go np to the organ loft and offer terms of peace to the drummer. After some persuasion he capitulated, bnt forgot himself so far as to break out at the most unexpected moments, much to the annoyance of the rabbi and the consternation of the bridal patty.
