CELEBRATION or THE OPENING OF THE q.
AND 4. RAILROAD TO LYNCHBURG.-The suG-
gcstion thrown out few days since IN ref
erence to having celebration in Alexan-
dria, on the occasion of the opening OF the
! Orange and Alexandria Railroad to Lynch
burg. meets with much favor on the part OF
many Of our citizens, who desire that some

JEWISH CELrBRArIoN.-Th day of atone
m.nt was observed by the lsraeltes OF this
place last week, commencing ON Friday ut
sunset, and ending at sunset on Saturday,
daring which time all their places Of busl-
ness were closed and the different congrcga-
tons were occupied with religious services.
The day We understand was kept also rs a
rigid fast day. There is some little differ
ence we believe in conducting the religious
services between the modern Jews; one part
of them using the Hebrew and the other
the German. or whatever their native Ian
yuage may be. These last are we believe
called reformers or progresslves. Toa re-
hectng Gentle, the sight of religious as
Scmbly of these people is very interesting.
Here we have the remnant of once re-
nowned nation, firmly adhering to the
customs of their fathers, which they have
preserved amidst the greatest affections and
calamtics which ever hctcl Il people.
