GREAT SPLIT AMONG THE JEWS.

A few weeks since, the Board of Deputies
held its annual meeting This Board is an
institution of about one hundred and fifty years
standing. 1t possesses no religious Functions or
authority, but is concerned solely for the liber-
ties and secular rights of the Jewish communi-
ty. Its members are delegated, in stated pro-
portions, by all the synagogues of the United
Kingdom. Some ten years ago, in London, a
small body of Jews separated from their CORE
lgionists, on the ground that the tradition of
the fathers, are not binding, and that the Bible
(that is, the Old Testament,) and the Bible
alone, is the religion of Israeites. The seceders
constituted new Synagogue, known by the
name of the Margaret Street Synagogue. They
are highly respectable body, and their Reader,
the Rev W. Bresslau, is known to us as gen
tleman of ability and character. A Cherem, or
act of accommodation, was shortly directed
against them by Chief Rabbi Herschell, cutting
them of from the communion and privileges of
the orthodox jew.
OF tho sixty or seventy deputies who assembled
at the annual meeting of the Board, it appears
that four gentleman Messrs. Jonassohn, Elkin,
Ellis, and Davis, chosen by four orthodox Pro-
vincial Synagogues, Sunderland, Porthmouth,
Chathem, and Norwich, were members of the
heterodox congregation of Margaret street. A
formal objection was at once raised to their tax
ing their seats. In anticipation of the proceed
ings of the day, the opinion of Sir F. Thesiger
and Mr.. Badeley had been obtained, whether
the Board were entitled to examine into the
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1854-08-24

days and hours hurried only the whirl of con-
stant excitement, lose their dstnctness, and
mingle in misty mass in which the better rea-
soning faculty can distinguish little that accords
with the natural purposes Of life. Were this
eager hunt of gold or rank uninterrupted, it
would soon sweep away before it all that elc-
Yates and purifes human nature Or gives the
grace and goodness of life.
The Sabbath stays the scvercr pulses OF soe-
ETY., it opens the low and dark clouds that gath
er round the heart, and lets in the light of
better thoughts and oftier feelings. To lose this
recurring dspcnsaton from the curse OF tho
impctaous liGe-struggle, would be to render our
destiny that Of the dungeon slave. While, there
fore, we regard the desccration of the Sabbath
as primarily offensive as violation of divine
law, we condemn it as war against the better
charities of lilc-as wrong done to the heavy
laden-as a step taken outwards to barbarism.

Snow ARcH.-One of the greatest curiosities
ever witnessed at the White Mountains, is now
to be seen at "Tuckerman's Rayine," about
three miles from the Glen House. ltconsists of
an arch of pure snow spanning the brook that
tumbles over the rocks, from the SUBMITS of the
mountains. The ravine is the receptacle of all
the snow that blows from the top of Mount
Washington, and there can be no doubt that
during the winter it accumulates to the depth
of several hundred feet. As the brook begins
to run in the spring, it wears its way through
under the snow, which gradually melts away at
the approach of summer, making the cavity
larger and larger.
On the 10th of July, this ravine was visited
by D. o. Macomber, Esq, in company with Mr..
j. H. Spaulding of the Summer House, and
Mr.. Davis, the Engineer of the White Noun
tain Carriage Road, by whom the arch was
measured. 1t was found to be l0S feet long,
81 feet wide, and 40 feet high ON the inside and
2G6 feet long and 40 feet wide on the outside.
The snow forming the arch is 20 feet thick
The gentleman above named walked through
the arch, in the bed of the brook, and ate their
dinner at the foot of the cataract, which falls a
thousand feet down the side of the mountains.
The arch is on the south-side of the mountain.
and is exposed to the heat of the sun during
most of the day. Last year it remained until
August 10th, when a warm rain of sevaral
days continuance melted it away. 1t is posi-
bic that this year it may last through the sea-

or moment paving the air frantically, and

then fell back-dead
After man has, upon the lonely prairie,
stood his watch through the dark hours of the
night, momentarily expecting an attack from
hostile Indians and his blood has chilled and
his flesh crept, as he imagined, or really has
seen, the lurking foe through tho gloom, and
yet dare not fire, lest he expose his own person
as target; after man has gone tnrough this
night after night, he may imagine he can re-
allze the meaning of anxiety.
All this have undergone but never before
did my heart stand still as it did during that
half hours combat-knowing, as did that with
one false step of the horse, the riders life was
not worth the purchase; impressed upon me
the more forcibly the next day, when | saw
Gay thrown amidst herd of buffaos, by his
stumbling horse.
On taking off the skin, it was found that eight
revolver bullets had passed into vital parts.
One had broken IL fore leg one had made a
deep wound in the shoulder, and the last shot
had given the death wound in the head.
Of twelve shots fred IL the heat of the con-
test, eleven had hit the boar; niEo of which
would have been death wounds to anyt ing but
grizzly. We estimated him to weigh 1900
pounds. ~ Y. Sun.
