monies, Witnessed by large assemblage OF per-
sons Of all denominations. 1he officiating Minis
ter, Mr. LEVIN, delivered an address, in which he
elucidated the three fundamental principles OF
Judaism. 1. The belief in the existence Of o God,
who ia the sole Creator and Ruler of the universe,
and that this great Being is Unity, incorporeal,
Most High, and indivisib1e. g. The belief that the
law Of MOSES, which We now possess, elmansted
from God, and that it can never be altered or
changed. 8. The belief that God sees all our
actions, knows all our thoughts, and will assured
y reward or punish every man, according to his!

TEE AoApFMY OF DUB LADY OF MERCY, AT SUM-
rxR.lThe examination of this institution took
place ON the 10th inst, at Sumter, and the Watc-
man gives an elaborate account of the proceed
ings from which We make few extracts. The
Academy is one Of the best conducted seminalies
in the State, and has been deservedly popular
with parents and guardians. Among the pupils
We recognize number Of names from Charles
tom, some of whom not only gained the highest
premiums in the different branches, but received
honorable mention for exemplary conduct. The
exercises consisted Of an examination on the dif-
ferent branches taught in the Academy, and the
proficiency shown by the pupils was gratifying
proof of the SUCCESS Of the teachers. The vener-
able Mother THERESA, Of Charleston, was present,
also DR.. CoRcoRAN, Of Wilmington, and the Rev.
Mr.. MoNKAL, OF Sumtsr, DR.. CoRcoRAN presenting
the prizes. In addition to the usual branches
tanght in Seminary, the pupils were instructed
in drawing, painting and music, aud some of the
specimen paintings exhibited the traces of decided
accomplishment. We regret our inability to give
afull report Of the examination but will revert to
thesubiect st some future time.
TIM EourHKRN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL jour-
xAI, edited by Dr. 1. A. DUaAs and Others andp pub
liahed in Augusta, Ga, is still lorishiDg. We
have received the July number, and find several
original papers in it Of considerable scientific and
practical merit The first is ON the Treatment Of
Fractures Of the Femur, by WIN. ]. HoLT, Md,
Of Montgomery, Ala. The second on Persistent
Eclsmpsis, by DR.. WIZ. P. HoIr, Macon, Ga. Third,
Obligations of the Pubicto the Medical Profession
BY Dr.. B. O.. Woop, Of Atlanta, Ga. Fourth. A
Of Remoral Aneurism treated by legation, by
DR.. DxS FoxD, Of Augusta, Ga. There is besides
much miscellaneous and editorial matter Of great
named above is summed up thus: II. There arc
reciprocal obliga ations between the public and the
members Of the medical profession. O. The medi-
cal men are ,nobly diachargng their duties, but
the people are unmindful Of their obligations,
which requires them, both as matter ofprmcipal
and or policy to support the true men Of the pro-
fession. 8 Medical men are not paid. They are
forced to adopt the old credit system, which is
little better than starvation, as the result of which
many good ,msn are leaving the profession. 4.
Medical men are benefactors to the public, for
which neither the Legislature nor the masses of
the people havesny just appreciation"

one learned in Natural History, that ''care would

erroneous H is true, the individuals OF the
RrimaIkin species are but little petted BY male
humanity, and Oats havebeen generally considered
1smcanny beasts" but it is on record that they
have, In & number Of instances, shown sagacity
that should spare them the stigma that now at
taches to the tribe From the remotest ages, prob
ably ever since soon after the fall Of ADAM, the
eat has been an object Of dislike and the epthets,
spiteful, cross deceful &C., have been freely sp-
piled TO the unfortunate beasts. The increase Of
civilization. has lesssned the torments that were
before inflicted on these furry animals, and some
care has been taken to educate them and tram
them up in the way they should go. As musicians,
no quadruped can compare with the felines, and
thAre are lew persons who are not familiar with
theiT nightly serenades (vulgarly called caterwaul-
ings).
Il gives us pleasure, in this connection, to state
that the long neglected cat is now being brought
before the public, and, by little judicious train
ing, can be made to do any feat heretofore per-
formed by his whilom competitor and antagonist,

not devoid Of natural sense, there is now ut the
Office Of the Southern Express Company in this
city, small black specimen that was brought up
by hand, which, as Q leapist win compare favora-
bly, with the HAMoNs. This stray feline, though
ssblaak as Erebus," is evidently gifted animal,
and Obeys the voice Of its master unhesitatingly.
At the word Of command it stretches itself out
and again leaps over the outstretched arm. 1t is

withstanding its black skin; and we advise those
who are firm believers in est deprayity to pay it
visit, and they will see that care has developed its
mind and made it an educated and highly accom-
pHshed beast.
TIE MANUFACTURING Interests OF THE STATE
This subject has commended itself TO the minds
Of the leading men in every section, and they
have given it an impetus that has already resulted
in practical good; several factories have been
started, and steps are now being taken to utilize
the water power in the different districts by ap-
plying its force to machinery. At this time when
the manufacturing interests Of the State are e1ct-
ing such attention, new agent looms up that bids
fsir to revoutionize the whole system Of weaving,
~ We have always known and seen it heretofore.
We REFER to the introduction of the MENDENHALL
Hand Power Loom. The simplicity, completeness,
and power Of this machine will at once commend
il to every sensible anG practical mind, and it will
be seen that by its adoption, not only vast out
lay Of time, strength, money, and patience will be
