CUMMINs' EXTENSIVE SHOE ESTABLISH
MENr, Seventh street, seems to be the favor5

very naturally SO from the fact that no other
establishment In the city presents so large
and desirable an assortment. The new
winter stock Is by far much larger and even
more select than at any previous season,
thereby giving the large trade of the house
and the public the greatest advantages.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AMONG THE Is
RAELrTEs.-Eiitor Republican, Great indlg-
nation Is felt by large number OF ls.
raelltes In this city at tho remarks OF
Jacob 8. jacobson, made at the Syna-
gogue on Saturday last. The Hebrews
of this city have no rabbi whatever,
and when Mr.. jacobson, who only occupies
the position of teacher and reader, was
granted permission to lecture before the con-
gregation II was with the distinct under
standing that he should not interfere with
congregational affairs In any manner.
Therefore, when he discoursed on the qucs-
ton of orthodoxy and reform, and censured
those who belong to the reform party OF the
Synagogue for their opinions and conduct,
he abused his privilege and produced dis
cord In the Synagogue. When the Hebrews
of this city select rabbi for their Syna-
gogue they will endeavor to obtain one who
will promote "uuity among BRETHREN" and
not one who stirs up anger with grievous
words.

The grand soemnity which marked the services at
the Cathedral yesterday, and the unadorned and
almost s0mbre aspect OF the sacred edifce itself
highly characteristic OF the holy of Lent
There was present very large congregation, with
which gaudy fashion had very little to do. and the
earnestness and devotion which throughout were
manifested fully demonstrated the religious appre-
citation Of the assemblage. The Rev. DR.. McSweeney
was the oficiatlng clergyman. assisted by several
ac0lytes At the termination OF the first gospel Q
heightened discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mr..
Mclean, who took his text from the gospel OF the
day, Matthew xviii, which described the miracle OF
the transaguration Of Christ upon the mountains OF
OF the Lord. The festival was h0n0red by the Church
with view Of raising the hope and aspirations OF
OF their mortal pilgramage to the glory OF the heav
eny country. The miracle itself held forth encourage
tions, troubles and prosecutions or this e SeconIy

OF humility which would make US more closely united
to the Divine Redeemer The reverend gentleman
brought his sermon to q close by fervent exhorta-
ton. In which he alluded to the effect which the
great miracle should have upon humanity, and urged
the necessity Of constant prayer and the usefulness
OF sincere and confident hope In Almighty God.
The musical portion OF the services was, as usual.
very satisfactory well as being appropriate. The
full tones OF the organ filled the building, now with
powerful sounds. with soft and melO.

The Rev. s. J. Corneile, rector OF All Saints Pro-
testant Episcopal church, corner Of Henry and
Scanned streets, delivered very eloquent sermon
ON the Lenten Fast last evening, taking for his
text:-"Wherefore II thy hand or thy foot offend
thee, cut them or and cast them from thee;
1t IL better for thee to enter into life halt
or manned, rather than having two hands
or two feet to be cast into everlasting rc.n tSt.
Matthew, xviii, 81. The text was singuary inap-
propriate to the subject OF the discourse, but the
sermon was none the less interesting. The origin
aud antiquity of the Lenten fast were discussed at
considerable length. The preacher said there could
be no doubt that IL was OF apostolic origin and
was rigdly observed in the primitive Church, and
therefore 1t should be duly observed now. But
churchmen in the present day do not enter into the
spirit OF Its religious exercises fully they ought.
In conclusion the preacher earnestly eyhorted his
hearers TO closer observance OF the rules OF the
Church.
