brought her down four and half inches by the head.

Give terrors to the god and reverence to the place.
On Monday, the Synagogue in Crosby street was
crowded in every part 10 celebrate the annual festival
OF the Grand White Feast or what is commonly
known as the Day of Atonepcnt We were on the
spot as early as nine o'clock, and remained until the
old rams horn was made TO say
"Tetu, Tetus, Tetum.'
Somewhere about six in the evening" the Syna-
sopue looked beautiful. The laws of Moses decorat-
ed with costly silk and golden bels-the vessels Of
gold and silver adorned with diamonds and emerads
the ark surrounded with large wax candles-the
galleries crowded with lovely woman, who made a
most brilliant appearance and during the live long
day was the magnet of universal attraction.
How can the poets humble shell

Many smile and dmples were to be seen on the

old father could be seen wipng the tear from his
wthered checkas he dropped his prayer book and cast
his eyes toward the the galleries his beautiful wife
or innocent daughter, and murmnred prayer 10 the
God of Heaven for their happiness.

Mr.. Crary's Letter-Settlers on the Indian
Reserpation.-Mr. Crary's letter, in answer to
Committee appointed to ascertain his views
with regard to the passage of bill granting pre-
empton to settlers, and also on the subject of tho
establishment of a National Bank, will be found
in another column. 1t is an able document and
is worthy an attentive perusal. Had the settlers
of the Indian Reservation, in this county been
in possession of this document it would have made
vast deal of difference in the vote of the county
in favor of Mr.. Crary. The man who took SO
much pains to get letter from Mr.. Wells, adj
dressed to the Settlers of the Reservation, sta
ting that if elected he would exert himself for the
passage of presumption law, and who also in
dustriously circulated story among them that
Mr.. Crary was opposed to tho passage of such a
bill, is believed to be known. 1t was dirty bu-
siness, and the authors should be known and ex-
posed to the world.
We think that such bill ought to DO passed
by Congress, and we think such bill will be
passed at the next regular session of Congress,
exclusively for the actual settler. We do not
believe in the passage of bill which would give
to spectators, who feel above settling upon .he
lands they lay claim to, the same privilogeeas to
tho actual tiller of the soil.
If the inhabitants of the Reservation would on
ly examine the Records of Congress, they would
perceive that almost every Federal member Of
that body has voted against presumption bill, fol
the last two years.
