FROM MANCHESTER.

CoAMENDABLE.-Al letter was handed US
yesterday by our obliging postmaster, di-
rected to the "editor of the Manchester
daily paper, as we answered as near that
title as any one else. 1t was found to con.
tain prospectus of another mammoth gift
swindle, with modest request to insert
number of times, with complimentary mo-
tices In our local, and draw, on DAntig'
nae & Co., Cleveland, Ohio. A huge list
of references as to respectability and aoi-
ity accompanied the notice, hsaded, ,by
the well.known Benjamin +. (Beastl put
ler. If for no other reason--considerhg
this rather bad authority for honesty ana
integrity-we committed this prospectus 70 Z,
ths mercies of the truck pile, and warn all
OF our readers to "touch not, taste not,
handle not" or they will surely rue 1t.
Manchester, 1t is true, is rather small

humbug that may foat about.

DAY OF ArosEMENT.-To-daS{ 18th
of September, or the 18th of ttB Jewish
wear. is the day of atonehent, and the
synaeogues of this city will be open for re-
ligious worship at the usual hours. The
Israelite. like the disciples of all oriental
religions, believes in destiny; believes that
on the ii rst day of the year the fate of all
mankind is sketchsd out in the book of life
or death but magnanimous as the Lord is
towards those that sin against him, he al
lows them ten days time in which to do
penance before he enters his final decree.
The llth day of the year is therefore termed
the dav of the atoncmcnt, when old and
Young fast from sunset to sunset. During
that time they take neither food nor drink,
and devote themselves entirely to religious
worship. 1t is probable that there is no
sect in the world that observes its festivals
and holy days with so much scrupulous ex-
actness az the Jews. Although they have
the reputation of loving money to an inor
dinate degree, they freely and willingly
close their places of business during sevc-
raj DAYS in the busiest seasons OF the year,
and repair to their temples, where they
spend tho time in ascribing praise to God.
The day of atonemcnt is followed by the
feast Of tabernacles.

SoRA AND OTHER GANE.-Sora were sell

ing at forty cents per dozen. These deli
ciouS birds have not yet commenced COM
ing in very plentifully, although they are
said to be quite abundant in the marshes
below Richmond; and those We saw in mar
kct yesterday were fat and in good order.
Indeed, from all quarters we hear of An
abundance of game, and sportsmen may
prepare themselves for most profitable
season. Partridges, foxes, and old hares
were never so numerous large numbers
of deer are reported in the forests, and in
the lower counties the call Of the wild
turkey is heard in every thicket. What
may be the cause Of the profusion of game
we need not stop to inquire; but it comes
almost as opportunely as did the mamma in
the wilderness, and will materially aid In
feeding the hungry.

now seventeen divisions in the State Of Vir-

since the close of the war and the pros

Besides this, the Friends of Temperance, a

THE ITALIAN OpERI.-But a few days
will elapsc before Max Strakosch, with his
popular troupe, will be with us; and We
hope that our people will give him such a
reception as will induce him to give us
calls more frequently. We have but little
doubt, however, that the coming operate
season will be brilliant one, though we
regret that will it be so brief. The ladies
gossip continually about the opera-it is the
absorbing drawing-room topic, and poor
Young men are devising and dreaming of
