WAYNE, April, %, 1870.
The citizens of this town were much ex-
cited yesterday, by the announcement hat the
dead body of a man had been discovered in
the pond, known as the Wing Pond north of
our village. 1t was taken from the water,
and an examination Immediately had. No
marks of violence were found, and the united
ed by a casualty in said pond The
body had the appearance of having lain there
some few months. 1t was recognized by
masy gentlemen present who had rep atedly
seen the deceased, who was known to + EN- by
the name of Remic-his whole name not
known, neither his place of residence. He
was apparently about seventy years Of age;
he was of eccentric habits, possessing pecu-
liar cast of mind, was quite an exhorter, a
man of prayer, both in the house and on the
way, and was considered by some Second
Adventist. Articles were found upon the
body, some of which gave undoubted proof of
recognition. Immediately after the examina-
ton, the body was inferred in one Of the town
cemeteries. 1t is hoped that this will elicit
further facts and information which will re-
lieve the public mind and be valuable and sat-
isfactory to relatives and friends.

A meeting of the eorporators of Forest

rum, it is to be hoped that as now the time
has come when radical changes are demanded
in the summers work on this beautiful Gene
terry, the corporators will feel interested to
public good. The meeting will be held at
half past two o'clock.

gHE FAST OF an.

Yesterday evening began the "Fast OF ABB and
will continue until this evening Mt sunset This fes.
val or fast is IN memory OF the destruction Of Jeru.
salem and Is observed only by the orthodox Jews.
Even those who incline to moderate reform ioin
In with their brethren OF the Old faith while the Re.
formn and "Radical Reform" Jews have an entirely
different opinion Of the event. The old Jews lament
the obstruction OF Their principal city by the Romans
and the dispersion OF the people as great misfortune
and yearly pray for their return to the Holy Land
The Jews Of reformed Ideas, on the other hand,
think this very event to have been blessing, not
only TO themselves, but the Jewish nation, for that
1t had enabled the people OF Jerusalem to
disseminate among the nations OF the earth those
principles Of truth and justice, they claim which
had been taught by Moses and the prophets succeed
ing him.
With those who believe In the orthodox Jewish
doctrine this day VIII be day or fasting and prayer
The lamentations of jeremiah VIII be either read or
sung. and on the eve OF the day the verses VIII be
repeated contained In the 18th Psalnl--''By the
rivers OF Babylon there we sat- and we went when
we remembered Zion" 'If forget thee, o Jeru-
salem, may my right hand forget It's cunnng.u
''And therein Jerusalem)we Will serve Him in
reverence as In ancient days and as in former
years"
The svnagogues viii be draped IN mourning and
religious services be had according to the old law

been located at the corner OF Fulton ana Van Lin

The loss in specie was expected, but considerable

the fact that in addition to moderate movement of
currency to the interior there large transfers
of deposits to the new German American Bank,
