JEWISH DEDTCAT ON.

The new Synagogue in Norfolk street, in this
city was dedicated with impressive ceremonies
on Friday of last week in presence of large
and respectable audience. The ceremonies
commenced with an Introductory symphony by
the orchestra, and an opening chorus by the
choir. The minister and the trustees of the
congregation and other gentlemen, then took
the sacred laws from the vestry, and walked un-
der the canopy, borne by four pa ges, to the ves-
thule, which they had no sooner reached than
the minister knocked at the doors Of the Taber-
nacIe, and ejaculated;
Open unto us the gates of righteousn ess,
that, we may enter through them, and offer our
grateful homage to God.
This was responded to by the minister with
in, as follows:
This is the gate to the Lord, the righteous
enter therein: enter ye his gates with thanks
Swing, His courts with praise give thanks unto
Him, bless His name.
the door was opened, and the minister, with
the chorus, sang a portion of one Of the Psalms
of David, beginning "How goodly are the tents'
0 Jacob" &c. The sacred laws were next
carried by the bearers toward the holy ark,
wich was covered with purple velvet, ornament
ed with gold, the minister repeating an appropri-
ate verse from the from the Bible. This was
responded to by the choir. The procession
then walked around the Synagogue seven times,
chanting psalm, and going up to the ark, and
depositing the therein the sacred laws,
Hymns and addresses in German ard English
succeeded, and collection was taken up at the
close.

and IN Arkansas it averages $500. At Fort
Constitution, in New Hampshire, the debth is
25.o5 the lowest on the Atlantic sea bo,rd-
AT Key West, Florida, the fall is comparatively
slight also, being but 3l.39 A. Charleston,
South Carolina, it is $3.50; at washington, D.

The mean annual heat Of the cities of the
United States exhibits somewhat different re-
sults.' The most southern parts, of course, are
the hottest; the sea ports il the same latitude,
are cooler than inland towns The hottest city
appears to be Jackson, Mississippi, where the
average temperature is 65. Gl Of Fahrenheit
The coolest is the ltld town of Penn Yam, in
New York, which is 45.4G. The tables do not
include Texas, however, in the South, or Maine,

Philadelphia is 5257. New Haven, Conneci-
cut, is 1900; Newark New Jersey, $3.50;
Louisville, Kentucky, 5308; and Fort Madison
Iowa, $500. These, be it remembered, are the
average temperatures. Some Of The towns

summers unusually cool for their location; while
others, with low average Temperature, are ex-
cessively sultry in July and August.

TEE COUNTESS OF osstLLI.

The Philadelphia Bulletin has the following
notice of the gifted lady who met her untlmely
death last week by the wreck of the brig Eliza
beth. on the shore of Fire Island:
oThc countess of Ossilll--better known as
Margaret Fuller-was the daughter of Hon.
Timothy Fuller, lawyer of Boston, but nearly
all his life IA resident Cambridge, aut IL eP-
resentative of the MiddlGseX District in Con-
gross from 1917 to 1925. She was the first
born Of six children, and early displayed great
talents, which her father, with more regard for
her mental than her bodily health, stimulated by
noossant study. The early death of this par
ent left Margaret to depend on herself for
livelihood Accordingly she applied herself to
teaching as a vocation-6rst in Boston, then in
Providence, and afterwards in Boston again.
In 1874 she abandoned teaching and assumed
the critical department Of the Tribune, where
her articles attrated much attention. The fol-
lowing year she visited Europe, as a corraspon-
dent of the same paper and continued to reside
abroad where she had married until a few
weeks prior to her death. She was the author
of two noticeable works-'Summer on the Lakes,
and woman in the Nineteenth Century, be-
sides numerous shorter ARTICLES, the best of
which were collectedby Putnam, in 1916, under
the title of "Papers on Literature and Art"

AN EXCURSION TO MOOSE
HJTTOGK.


July the ninth, company of gentlemen and
ladies' made an excursion to Moose Hlllock.-
Leaving Bradford at quarter before five AM,
after pleasant ride of an hour and half we
stopped at Haverhill Corner, where we ex-
pected to be joined by others making the same
excursion. Learning that they woudawait the
arrival of the stage which was to leave at seven,
we proceeded, after short delay, along the O.
liveran valley, an easy and delightful road to
Little's Hotel, about ten miles distant from the
Corner. Here we were to leave the stage road;
so we alghted to await the arrival of our IIa.
veril friends. They arrived in due time, and
taking some aboard our carriage-thus procur-
ing conveyance from the Hotel, we proceeded
on, in a norherly direction, about mile and
half We could go no farther with carriages
we therefore alighted and the teams were driv-
en- back to farm house, distant about half a
mile, where they could be well accommodated
Direction was given that they should be return :
ed ut given hour to this place. At ten o'clock
we went on following guide about half mile
through cloarings and woods, till we came TO
the vast forest which covers the mountain. Be-
fore returning, he gave us the following direc-
tons in regurd to the route, viz. To pass on
about three-fourths of mile, from entering the
woods, in nearly direct course, in plain road,
wien we should observe plot of wild grass, a
bout rod square, on the right hand side Of the
path; just beyond this, perhaps two or three
rods, the path to the mountain bears to the right
and can be distinctly traced till you emerge
from the woods near the summit that we should
observe marked trees all along from the turn ;
! the turning off place is also noticeable from sew

A Chinese work on America, Just published,

RAIN AND HEAT IN THE UNIT
ED STATES.

The last Patent Office report contains mete-
geological tables and statistics, by which we
learn the mean annual debth of ram at various
places in the United States, as well as the mean
annual temperature. The greatest debth ofrain
falls at Fort Monroe, Virginia, where it is SO
SO inches, the least at the st Louis Arsenal,
Missouri, where it is "a. ~ inches, or less than
half. At Fort Hamilton, New York, the depth
is 45 II, and at West Point, 49, TO- AS
general rule, the least rain falls in the West
ern States, and the most on the Atlantic sea-
coast, and on the eastern side of mountain ran
ges. AT New Orleans, however, and other
points near the Gulf of Mexico, the fall is heavy;
it being 81. 65 at New Orleans The fall at
Boston and Baltimore is about equal, being 80.
90. at the former place, and 80. 90 at the latter.

THE HEROINE OF TIE HEART
OF MID LOTHIAN.

The Daily Post of Thursday, August 18th,
1898, must be priceless treasure in the eye of
the collector, for two remarkable paragraphs
with which it is enriched. None of them was
founded the most pathetic and popular Of Scots
novels-The Heart of Mid Lothian. The story
of the girl "of a fine soul" even as told by the
paragraphst, is touching The communication
is dated "Ednburgh August 20th l733"-"Is-

fries for chld-murder, has actually got II remis-
sion. This unhappy creature was destitute Of
friends, and had none to apply for her but an
only sister, girl Of fine SOUL that overlooked
the improbabi!ity of success, and alone, went to
London to address the great, and solicit SC well
(sic) that she got for her, first repdeve, and
now remission. Such another instance Of
onerous friendship can scarce be shown it well
deserved the attention of the greatest, who could
not but admire the virtue, and on that account
engaged in her cause."-H Household Words.

SHAKER BIBLE.

We had glimpse, day or two since, of

seen by the worlds people" A Holy, Sacred
and Divine Roll, from the Lord God Of Heaven,
to the inhabitants Of the EARTH revealed in the
Society at New Lebanon, County Columbia,

This edition was published seven years since, at
the Shaker establishment in Canterbury, N. H.,
and the publishers say they have no regular
printer among them, the mechanical execution
may not be perfect in all its paris" We nag-
inc, however, that some printer had hand IN it,

ic injunction, the book must be printed and
bound by the Shakers themselves, to prevent its
sacredness from being polluted by proiane
hands. The printing was done at Canterbury
but it was found so far necessary to devlate from
the divine command as to go Concord to have
the volume bound-there being no book binders
, at the establishment. 1t is bound in yellow
according to the order from on high. The book
appears to contain some passages from Scrip
ture, altered amended, enlarged or curtalled,
with original additions or improvements, as they
are probably deemed, to suit the peculiar notions
