Mr. Henry Grnanbaum. a jew
banker OF Chicago, stated at meet
ING held to consult about missionary
work among the Jews of that city,
who number 5000 souls, that the
Jews had six congregations in Chica-
90, embracing about 5000 persons,
strict in their regard for their reli-
gion, aud expanding annually some
100000 for religious purposes. And
while they cherished the kindeSt feel
iugS towards their Christian breth-
ren, he thought it would be waste of
time and money to attempt to prose
lyte the Jews Of Chicago. Three
lourths Of the pick-pockets Of New
York city were English Jews, and a
wor, set Of men could not easily be
found, and if they would make Chris.
tians of them, or Mohammedans, he
would not complain; but all attempts
to turn the Chicago Jews from their
faith would be vain.

A WHOLE CONGREGATION POISONED.
The Chicago Tribune has an &C
count Of the poisoning OF the whole
congregation in a church at Napier
vile, ILL.,, last Sabbath. The church
were celebrating a love-feast. A
quantity of meat had been prepared
in a copper kettle, and allowed to re
main in it all day, till the liquid had
become oxydized. The scene that
followed beggars description. In
different parts of the church were the
sufferers, some sitting, some lying on
the floor, and all suffering the most
excruciating pains. Medical assist
ance was at once summoned, but 1t
was a long time before the entire
number (about one hundred and thir-
|tv) could be attended to. About
twenty of the number were regarded
as in d dangerous condition, but none
have, as yet, died, and it is hoped
that all will recover.

evening, lightning struck maple tree,
made its mark from near the top of

The Academy Exhibition.


MILTON, Sussex County, June LIST, 1868.-Our
community was ngain pleasantly entertained ut
the Academy on Friday afternoon, that being the
time for another public examination and exhibi-
ton. The exercises proved exceedingly rare, a
decided Improvement on the preceding exami-
nation. The readings were almost inlmltable,
considering that but o brief while since, they
not even knew the simplest rules that guide
good reader, and many OF them knew not
the use of the punctuation characters The dia-
logues, &C., were acted out In style which
would do credit to maturer minds. " Excelsior
we did not think came up to the full measure of
the preceding issue. The articles, however,
were good for writers so youthful, md the paper
was edited with much care.
A very entertaining feature In the programme
and one never before introduced was, the reading

more advanced pupils, the subjects having been
given them only few days prior by their teach
era. obtained the use Of their manuscripts for
perusal, and desire to make n few selections One
says, writing on " Patriotism" 1t is u virtue
more frequently talked about than seen. II does
not consist In long political speeches, (as some
seem to SUPPOSE indeed, 1t Is but seldom found
in the political arena for there the motive power
Is self-ntcrest; but true patriotism Is not selfish.
Another writing on Decision of Character"
says: .'stricty speaking, decision of character
required irmness, inseparably linked with prin-
cpc, together with strict regard for right In all
our words and actions. These requisites COM
bned iortify us against the petty annoyances
which tbrong our pathway, even aiding us in
peIplcxity and assuring us Of a name and char

rare for youths who have never till recently been
privileged to receive more than common school
