SMALL HoUsEs.-The rapid increase of popula
ton and business has created an unusual demand
for small dwelling houses. friend informs us
that he has lately fused up considerable quantity
of shoe leather in travelling from Church Hill to
Shockoe Hill, in search of house suitable for a
small family, without success" Such houses he
states unusually scarce the prices of rent high,
and almost impossible to be procured, of any size
or kind, at the present season. In view of this
fact, would not spectators and men of means find
1t to their interest to put up tenements that would
rent say from SIPS to Sl75 per annum Let us cal.
culate what per centage would arise from such an
investment. Here is a house which cost 81, 500 to
erect containing six rooms, neat yard, fair loca.
ton, and a genteel neighberhood Such an one
would readily bring rent of SITS per year, nearly
2per cent. upon the capital invested. But, after
deducting taxes and insurance, it would be reduced
to 10 per cent clear interest of $3.50 yearly on
$500 No person, we presume, would desire a
safer or more lucrative business than this. And
yet we find great scarcity of such dwellings,
There are still in city great number of lots in
very desirable locations for dwelling houses, and
now is favorable time to improve and m axe them

Tur 1rw,sr NEW YEAR.-A Jewish friend
reuinds US that to day. the 14th OF Septemoer,
ia the commencement of the jewish year, COM
putting after the manner OF the israeiites, II
being the 5613lh year fiom the creaton--or
rather the afternoon of yesterday, the 18th, was
the beginning, as all the Jewish festivals,
commemorative Of the time, commence about
sunset and end on the appearance Of the stars
on The day Of the conclusion Of the festival.
This 10 also an ordinary Jewish leap year,
consisting of Is months, in which there are all
ternately in each 80 and 90 days, except in the
9th month, which has 80 days as well as its
preceding, the 5ih month. the Sabbnths in
this year are IS. BY peculiar arrangement
OF time, the FIRST day Of the year cannot fall on
Sunday, Wednesday or Friday, and conse.
quently the festivals never begin on those days;
but the FIRST and second together are observed
as q strict holyday, on which all labor is sus-
pended, except preparing food for actual use.
The same is the case with all ether festivals.
The second day not being considered OF Bibli-
cal origin, double days are observed, so as to
be sure ofkeepng at least one day with the
Israeltes of Palestine, or those within reach
of the high Court at jerusalem. The Jewish
civil year commences with the fret after the
seventh month ofthe ecclesiastical year, which
commences in the Spring, or the one in which
the early grain, such as barley, etc., began to
ripen in Palestine and the division of time is
so arranged as TO bring the festival ofthe pass
~,bo of harley nf the ~
crop is to be sacrificed in the Temple, in its
proper season.
The festival of to-day and tomorrow is
termed in scripture ga day of memorial" in
which the Israelites call to mind their actions
during the past year, and pray to the Lord 10
pardon their sins. 1t is also called "a day of
blowing of Trumpets," in which The Israeites
are commanded to have holy convocation, to
do no servile work, and a day on which the
Cornet Tor trumpeD is sounded in all the Syn.
agogues throughout the world-the wise men
of sacred memory having said "This is the
day on which the world was brought into ex-
istence-and this is the day on which The great
God causes all his creatures to stand in Judg-
ment before him." The third day Thursday
next is the day of general fasting, and is
called the fast of Gedaliah, in memory OF the
murder of that pious man. Gedaliah was the
son of Ahikam, whom Northumberland, King
of Babylon. made the chief of the Israelites,
who remained in their own country after the
destruction of the first temple. Gedaliah was
on this-the 3d-day slain, with many of his
friends, tby Ishmael. The Israelites, there
fore, continue TO deplofe the loss of that great
man by fasting and prayer on the third day of
their new-year as often as it recurs.
