and Miss H. MOSES repeated ''Ihe Curse OF Cain;'
Master T.. ANoKEB ssElijah's Intervicw W." Miss AD-
DIE SoLoaloNs, ''The Flowers" Miss HOFFMAN re-
cited some pretty verses on Pari'n;; Master s.
:, .ANcKER saIhe Voice of Nature"
Miss G. OrToLENGuI, o young lady apparently
not over seven or eight years of age, repeated some
verses (sThe Rainbow") with admirable effect. Her
elocution was unexceptionablo, her expression
touching, and her gestures very graceful Ibis
was followed by dialogue by Misses J. soLoMoNs
and A. Mo1sE-'sThe Better Land" The whole
school then joined in the following hymn, written
for this anniversary occasion by Mrs. P. II. c., to
the mir of ssHome, Sweet Home:"
We ioyfuly greet this days happy return,
and worship the God, whose commandments we iear1'
We Wei iurn m to the one great Almighty in power;
aaitb, Hope, encrcle us now,
As we at thy throne in humility bow
| The sceptre of gold that from royalty's hand
Gave Esther sole power boon to demand,
That beautiful Queen who with dadem crownd
For her beloved people redemption them found.
With heart full of sadness. she prayd that the roe,
Who, with evil design would the Hebrews oerthrow;
Should from His high station, with anger be sPurned
And waiings Of anguish to gladness be turned
The edict went forth, her loved people to save.
From destruction and DEATH from the gloom OF the grave
And Israel ever shall hallow the day
That chased the dark cloud Of misfortune away;
Praise, praise tie God above,
Who smiled on His children with mercy and love.
The first class was then examined in cate-
chism. by Rev. M. a.. MYERS, in which the catchu-
mems acquitted themselves very well. Master T.
WNEMAN next recited the well-known and touch
ing Hebrew tale Of the Rabbi and the Jewels. The
defamation was executed with excellent taste and
much pathos. "Gifts to the Poor" was recited by
Miss H. HmsoHFELD. ssTwo Angels" by Miss
AM1DA COHEN, was very well rendered. s'The
Vision of Belshazzar,"' by Master NJ. JACOBS, Was
very vol delivered. ruth and Naomi, by Miss
JESSIE COHEN, met with many plaudits. 'sldagar
in the Wilderness" was rendered in excellent taste
and with fine dramatic effect by Miss R. OrroLEN-
au1. Sour aim, by Master LOEB, followed next.
A dialogue between Misses s. soLoMoNs and E.
LEVY, on the Puana Festival, was very well
spoken, and pleased generally. Master A. O1ro-
LENaU1 made very fine, and excelently delivered
speech on the sInduence Of Hope at the close OF
Life" One Of the best pieces Of this very interest
ing programme was the dialogue on ssMoses in
the Bulrushes," by Misses LOLA OTToLENan and
Isabella TOBIAS. While hearing their very in
teresting performance, we involuntarily regretted
the absence of stage and scenery to lend ad-
ditional aid to their dramatic utterances. 1t was
g. little awkward for the Princess, PHARAoH's
daughter, to soliloquize, unconscious OF the
presence Of Miriam. Miss 0. made an excellent
Miriam.
Master NJ MoRDEcA1 repeated DAvD's lament
over ABso1oM, after which q Hebrew Psalm was
sung; and then heprizes were distributed by Miss
A. SnpsoN, the Superintendent who merits the
highest praise for the excellent manner in which
the children had been trained. Everything passed
off SO satisfactorily that she has every reason to
feel gratifed ON finding how well her labors have
been appreciated She was ably assisted by Mrs.
P. WNEMAN.
The entire class then walked to the building in
the rear of the Synagogue, where y sumptuous
banquet was spread, and one and all en- Dyed them
selves to the utmost Of their capacity. At the
conclusion of the entertainment the Rev. E. j.
MEYNARpm addressed the teachers and children in
q fow remarks pertinent to the occasion.
RELIEF FOB THE DEsr1rUrE.-Th steamer Mem
phis, which arrived in this port from New York
some days since with full cargo Of corn, donated
by the Southern Relief Association to the destitute
in this State, has been discharged, and the corn,
by the direction of the United States Authorities
ordered to be distributed in the different istrcts
The city undertook the transportation to the rail-
road and the long string ofoaded drays that passed
from the wharf to the depot yesterday, bearing the
staff of life to the needy, was cheering sight.
The amount distributed was three thousand two
hundred Sacks or six thousand four hundred BUSH
els, and only those points were selected where
there had been the greatest want As this is free
donation, the railroad companies will, no doubt,
carry it to the different points without any charge
for freight. General TYLER has been in charge Of
the portion of the cargo destined for this State,
and efforts have been made, both by himself and the
other officers stationed at this Port, to ascertain
where The greatest destitution prevailed and send
the corn to those points alone. Tho following
letter from Major DEAN to Lieut. JOHNSON, the
Provost Marshal, was handed to the Mayor yester-
dav morning, and contains full information re-
garding both the delivery and destination:
