With tonight begins the Hebrew feast of

and commentaries the emancipation of the

pass at the end of four hundred asd thirty
years that all the hosts of the Lord went
out from the land of Egypt. 1t is a night
to be much observed unto the Lord for
bringing them out from the land of Egypt;
this is that night of the Lord to be OBJ
served by all the children of Israel for
ever"

AN EXAMPLE FOR RICHMOND De-
MocRACY.-The Democrats of Petersburg
have adopted the "passive policy" and on

they take kindly to it, that the affairs of
the city will be well managed by Republi-
can officers.

held at the time Of his death. His funeral

GRAVE AFFAIR. "A wagon laden
with cofiins was driven up and halted in
front of our Office door this morning. AS
may be imagined, such an unseemly pro-
ceeding occasioned some inquiry on our
part. We wanted to know what it all
meant, and began to look around for the
persons who were ambitious to wear them.
The incident was suggestive, and we didn't
know what might happen next. We stood
our ground manfully, however, and pretty
soon the wagon was driven away, and thus
the grim affair ended.
