Conservation Of the Synagogue OF the
Petersburg Congregation of Israel

The synagogue was conSeCrated on FRI
day. The entire ceremony OF the dedlca-
tOn was solemn and imposing. The room
was crowded TO It's utmost capacity, and
among the audience We noticed a goodly
number Of our most respectable Gentle
citizens. Hon. Charles /. Collier, Mayor
OF the city, and several members OF the
Common Council, and most of the minis
tiers OF the Gospel, were present, and all APP
peared greatly Interested.
The sermon OF the Rev. Mr.. Michel
bachcr was chaSte and elaborate effort,
delivered with great earnestnesS, and lis
tened 10 with profound attention.
Mr.. JacobS'S sermon was an eloquent
production. Mr.. Jacobs has all the ele-
mentS of an orator, being Of fine person
and having rich commanding voice and
a fervid imagination. We have seldom
heard anything OF the kind 10 SurpaSs II.
The singing was superb. The choir was
composed of five or six ladies and two o.
three gentlemen, and was supported by a
fine Cabinet organ, whose notes completely
filed the room.
The law, with appropriate ceremonies
not exactly Ineligible TO a stranger-was
deposited in the tabernacle, or Holy oil
HOLES, where we suppose 1t is pcrma-
nently foreman.
We wore struck with the exceeding
neatness and simplicity Of the room. To
our mind it was fitted up in the best posi-
bic taste and though comparativ small,
il is a credit and ornament TO the city.
We never saw congregation OF Israel
ties that made finer appearance. There
was dignity in the bearing Of the gentle
men that was very striking, while the
aspect of the ladies was altogether pre-
possessing.
We cannot refrain from congratulating
our Jewish friends ON the completion Of
their temple, and in wishing them the
fullest prosperity in all the relations OF
life-social, civil, and religious.-PetsrS-

Young man by the name OF ForSythe in the
