After serving the village for the past seventeen years as one of its po¬ licemen and for fourteen years as its police captain, John J. Dunbar has filed his resignation, which took effect Tuesday of last week, although it has not been oflicially acted upon on ac¬ count of no meeting of theVillage Hoard having been held since.
Capt. Dunbar has been warden of the Nassau County Jail for the past nine years and the only reason for his re¬ signing from the local police force is that his duties as warden have enlarged to sueh a degree that he was unable to take can? of the village work.
Capt. Dunbar was the first'policeman after the incorporation of the village and for a number of years was night watchman. While acting in that ca¬ pacity he on two instances, captured (irofessional burglars after revolver fight.
There are 14 otlicers in the village and the appointment of captain is looked forward to with interest.

Village Trustee Charles A. Sigmond was happy Sunday afternoon when he gave a Christmas tree celebration to about 200 young people of the com¬ munity, at the Sigmond Opera House.

"Happy as the birds in spring" can well be applied to Bertram C. Seaman and Mrs. ,Sadie M. Huggins of this place, who have Furprised their many friends here by announcing that they were iiuietly married in Connecticut last Tuesday evening.
Back of the marriage ia a story of school days, child love, cjuarrel, separ¬ ation. After many yoars^ in which the maid had been wooed and won by another, but subsequently divorced, she met her love of former days, and they are now as hapty as two doves.
Although the bride and groom have nothing to say about their past, it is a fact that the couple played together in childhood, and the constant companion¬ ship ripened into love. They ijuarreled and separated, he to travel.
A short time afterward a young mau wooed her ardently with the result that she was finally married to him. After years of married life there was a dis¬ agreement, and the couple separated, and Mrs. Huggins removed to this place about a year ago, and subsequent¬ ly received a divorce. Providentially, it is said, they found themselves dwell¬ ing in the same village. The happy |iair won't tell how they met, but they will be at home to their many friends on and after the first of the new year.
Last Tuesday they slipped away and went to Stamford, Conn., where the Rev. Clarence Freddy married them.
Seaman has liveil here three years, and his many friends were surprised to learn of his start on a matrimonial voyage as they looked upon him as a confirmed bachelor.    Ti ¦¦ es.

Local Topics
I wish in the first item of my pajior n t IS Column this week to expre.-s my Sincere wishes for a Hapuy New Year to each of my readers. Not ali of happiness wouid I wish you, for as Longfellow so tersely aays;
"The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorles? when unbroken." but that you may  be so   endowed with the spirit of wisdom   and joy as to get the best there is in life for you. "Know then this truth.
Enough for man to kn.iw, Virtue alone is hapnines.' below."
P..l,r.
It is a custom originating no o.tp knows when or how, to wait till Xew Year's Day to exfirt'ss your apjirccia- tion of the work of yonr mail carrier by n.akinti him such a contribution as you may feel you can afTord and make the New Year beginning a happy rou¬ tine one for these important parts if thi   roiiiinc of v'lUr life.

This kind of a letter, received last week from a subscriber in Pennsyl¬ vania makes us feel good :
"1 would feel lost without the Re¬ view once a week, and take special in¬ terest in your "14 years ago"column."

In line with the complaint frotn a reader publisht in our last issue, we publish the following paragraph from the tax taw, which m'ght helj) some¬ what :
NOTICE TO NON-RESIDENTS. A person who is the owner of, or liable to assessment for, an interest in real property situated and liable to assess¬ ment and taxation in a town in which he is not actually a resident, may file with the town clerk of such a town a notice stating his name, residence and post office address, a description of the premises sufficient to identify the same, and if situated in a village or school district, the name of such vil¬ lage and number and designation of auch school district. The town clerk shall, within five days after the deliv¬ ery of the warrants for the collection of taxes in such tax districts, furnish the collectors of the town, and the collector of each village and school dis¬ trict in which such real propefry is sit¬ uated, and such collectors shall within such time apply for, a transcript of all notices so filed, and such collectors shall within five days after the receipt of such transcripts mail to each per.son filing such notice, at the post office ad¬ dress stated therein, a statement of the amount of taxes due on said prop¬ erty. Upon the filing of such notices ihe town clerk ahall be entitled to re¬ ceive a fee of one dollar from the per¬ son offering such notice, which shall be in full for all services rendered here¬ under.
This is all right as far as it goes, and as we said might help in getting the bills for non-resident property own¬ ers, but it don't amount to much as there is no penalty attached and noth¬ ing to prevent the town clerk or the collectors forgetting to carry out its provisions.
A "Popular Song Service" will be given in the Methodist Episcopal Church Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock. This service wiil be conducted by Mr. I. H.

At 10:80 a. m. there will be communion service.
