THE New YEAR OF THE IsRAELITEs. On

The New YEAR OF THE IsRAEL1TEs. -On
Saturday evening last, commenced the annual
holiday of the Israelites, known as New Year,
which is considered the most important of all
their religious festivals, and they have quite a
goodly number of them. Their New Year
1928 began with the setting Of the sun on the
evening of the goth.
On Rosh Hashana, (New Year, according to
the Jewish tradition, the Creator decides who
is TO live, who to die, during the year, and the
orthodox synagogues had a direct reference to
this belief In some Israelite places Of wor
ship the men wear shrouds, but this
custom has been abandoned by many con-
gregations where innovation, or what is
termed religious reform, is making progress
This festival is considered among the lsraelites
the most important of the festivals in their
calendar -
Following the recurrence of the New Year
will be the feast Of the Passover, established
by Moses in obedience to the command OF the
Almighty, so that when the destroying angel
passed over the land to slay the tirs-born
those whose door posts were sprinkled with the
blood of sacrifice escaped. On the occasion OF
the New Year. after strict observance OF all
the religious ceremonies, the lsraelites give
themselves to such rational enjoyment as they
desire

RAILROAD. Board of Directors of the
Orange, Alexandria and Manassas Railroad
5 continued their sessions in Lynchburg until II
o'clock last Saturday night. and adjourned
sv;thout arriving at any definite conclusion re-
parding the matter for which they were con-
1aned. viz: the connection with the Virginia
ond Tennessee Railroad It was determined,
however, to refer thewhole matter to President
Barbour, for such action as in his judgment
NOV seem best under all the circumstances
The Lynchburg Virginian says:
.sThe Board seem to have good deal of diff
6c,lty in coming to conclusion. The closing
of the contract for the purchase of the bridge

shridge require the money down, which the
Railroad Company will have to raise by the
negotiation of bonds at such q discount that
thew are not disposed 10 make it. The price
to he paid for the bridge is $4,000, to realize
which amount would require the sale OF $40,

standing between the Board and the bridge
owners in regard to small building adjoining
the dollhouse, which the former considered

ont to be on the land of Mr.. G. Fl. Lynch.
Again, the President does not think it advisa-
HE for the Railroad Company to undertake the
management of toll-bridge, and is indisrosed
to give his sanction to the undertaking. In
this hitch, it il proposed to flank off and
bring the connecting superstructure in between
the Piedmont hotel and the railroad bridge
across the canal, and connect with the track
Of the Virginia and Tennessee Road there. -
This is suggested as solution of present dit
6cuIties, aui asa temporary expedient. There

which cause the Boardto hesitate. They have
