CONSIDERATION OF THE JEWISH SYM
AGoGUE.-The services at the conseH
Grafton of the new Jewish Synagogue
in this town, which took place last
Sunday afternoon, were impressive
and interesting, and We're witnesse,.
by II large concourse of people, tn
building being so crowded with specS
tators that not even comfortably
standing room could be obtained By
those who arrived after the commence
ment of the exercises. The ceremon'
les were conducted by the Rev. H. s.
Jacobs, Rabbi of the Carondelet street
Synagogue, New Orleans, ably assists
ed by Messrs. S. Weinschenk, Marx
Israel, b. Lemann, H. Loeb, Morris
Marks, NJ. Tobias, S. Blum and Others
The Rev. Mr.. Jacobs is remarkably
fine looking man, tall of stature and
of pleasing voice and manners, and
his excellent sermon was listened to
with wrapt attention by his numerous
hearers. He repeated the customary
dedieatory phrases alternately in He
brew and English, the silver cornet
band filling up the pauses with solemn
music rendered in their usual first
rate style, adding much to the inter
est of the occasion. After the conelu-
sion of the conservation the auditors
repaired again to the fair grounds,
from whence they had come to wit
hess the ceremonies, well pleased with
the manner in which Hebrew house
of Worship is dedicated to the service
of the God of Abraham, of Isaac, al
of Jacob.

GRAND FAIR AND BALL,
GIVEN BY THE
Ladies' Hebrew Benevolent Assn
IN THE TOWN OF
Donaldsonville, Sunday, June 9, 1872.

To say that the fair and ball given
i'm this town last Sunday under the
auspices of the Ladies' Hebrew Benev-
client eociety were successful is to de-
SER o9 them tamely; to say that they
were kplendidly successful, exceeding
the expectations of every one in point
of amusement afforded participants
and the amount of money realized,
is to do the subject greater justice.
THE FAIR
opened about 10 o'clock A. N. with a
spirited tune from the Donaldsonville
silver eOrnet band, who stood upon
the gallery fronting their new unfin-
ished hall, adjoining the fair grounds,
and thus made themselves heard all
over town. People at once began to
arrive, and when we first visited the
grountls about IL o'clock a lively scene
was presented to view. A spacious
line oS awning had been erected along
one siils and partly across one end of
the lot,i and under this were numer-
Gus booths and tables, at each of which
ladies were in attendance, and among
which moved constantly increasing
crowd Of visitors, some arguing with
young ladies who solicited their names
for chances in raffles, some discussing
ice cream and other refreshments at
the tables, some receiving letters at a
dime each from the miniature "post-
office,n some diving into the inevitable
"grat bags" carried about by preco-
cious youngsters and drawing forth
ludicrons prizes, all talking, all laugh
ing ever and anon, all apparently en-
joyinG themselves to the utmost. And
there was little variation in this scene
during the rest of the day, except that
when the train arrived from New Or
leans and the Henry Tete from down
the BAYOU, bringing a fresh influx of

COMMITTEES.


1t May be well to state that much
of the enjoyment afforded visitors and
much of the success attained by the
affair was due to the efficient arrange
ments made by the Executive Com
mitteS and the Committee on Fair
GrouT Els, composed as follows:
ExdIntiye Committee-Mrs. NJ. Is
rasl, chairman; Mrs. s. Weinsehenk,
Mrs. B.iLemann, Messrs. NJ. Marks, B.
Lema:lh, Noise Levy, w. Klopman,
H. Loeb.
Committee on Fair Grounds-Mes-
Sis. Hs Loeb, chairman; b. Lemann,

THE TABLES, BOOTHS, ETC.
On the table nearest the main en-
trancG-~which was the handsomest OH
the grounds, and attended by Mrs. S.
WeinAchenk, Mrs. JOS. Gondran, Mrs.
NJ. Blam, Miss Baum, Miss V. Pforz-
heimef. and Miss Alice Mccormick
were exposed three splendid German
ADVERTISEMENTS to be given to the
band }eceiving the greatest number of
votes, twenty five cents being charged
for eaell vote. This feature of the en-
tertainment attracted more universal
attention than any other and the yot-
ing all day was spirited. The contest
lay between the Donaldsonville sill
yer cornet band and the Ascension
brass band, and both had many
friends. When the poll was closed at
2 o'clock in the evening large crowd
gathered around to watch the count
ing ofthe ballots and ascertain the
results Messrs. Pierre Klopman, c..
F. Smith, Alex. Levy, Chris. Kline,
j. j. Glaverie and Z. w. Mason were
selected to conduct the count, and they
stuck te the somewhat lengthy task in
spite ola heavy shower of rain that
fell dursng its progress. At last the
final result was announced: Total
number of votes cast, 2480; of which
the silver cornet band received 1886,
and the brass band 894. This an
nouncsment was received with much
enthusiasm by the silver cornet boys
and their friends, and after a little
presentation speech from Judge Ma
son, witch was responded to on the
part of the band by Mr.. j. j. Clayerie,
they Il blk the instruments their. pop
ularit Ehad won' and bore them off in
triumph.
On The same table with the musical
INSTRUMENTS was a fine display of sill
verwate, several pieces of which were
voted TO the most popular merchant,
while the rest were rafied off. Mr..
Marx Israel proved to be the favorite
candidate in the voting for the silver
set and his success was hailed with
universal satisfaction. Miss Jacobs,
daughter of the Jewish Rabbi, won a
set containing six pieces of silverware,
while! Messrs. S. Weinschenk and C.
F. Smith were the lucky winners of a
splendid pitcher and o beautiful cake
basket respectively.

CRIMINAL SECRECY.-The martinets of
the medical profession insist that it is be-
meath the dignity of regular physician
to advertise. If member of the faculty
should discover an absolute remedy for
any disease, it would be a breach of pro-
fessional decorum to offer the specific for
sale through the journals of the day
Scorning such preiudices, one of our lead
ing practitioners is now making known
to the public, through the columns of over
three thousand newspapers, one of the
most comprehensive remedies for disease
that has ever assuaged the sutferings of
humanity. DR.. WALKERS CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BITTERs, although comparative
| ly a new medicine, has already attracted
the attention of millions in both hemi-
| spheres. 1t has been advertised through
all the channels accessible to advertis-
ing enterprise, and the result has been
the preservation of thousands of lives,
and the prevention of an untold amount
of physical torture. DIR. Walker thinks
that the greatest good of the greatest

science, and hence he steps boldly out of
the contracted circle of professional ex'
clusiveness, and places his Great Restora.
tive within the reach of all. Its beneficial
effect in cases of chronic dyspepsia, bill

throat and lungs, rheumatism, nervous
complaints, and all disorders of the Sc
cretive and excretive organs, is beyond
all estimate.

To PREPARE AND DRESS Cold FISH.
Cut cold boiled fish intopieces about an
inch long. Do not chop. Take the yolks
of four eggs, hard boiled, and rub them
to a smooth paste with few spoonfuls of
salad oil or melted butter. Add little
salt, pepper and mustard-the exact
amount must be decided by your own
taste and knowledge of how highly sea
soned your family like their food. Add
two teaspoonfuls of white sugar; rub all
in with the paste, and add the last thing
after getting the paste perfectly smooth,
six tablespoOnfuls of vinegar. Beat the
mixture till very light, and just before
pouring it over the fish, beat the whites of
two eggs very light and stir in with it.
Stir half the dressing into the picked-up
fish. Serve in glass dish and spread
the other half of the dressing over the top

AN INNOCENT MAN SENTENCED TO
TWENTY. Y.sEvBN YEARS IMPRISONMENT.
A man in State prison sent word ia n
Justice of the Peace yesterday. IN order
TO make q statement un5er oath that he
was the cause of fellow prisoner being
confined in jail, on a sentence of twenty,
seven years, for breaking and entering,
an ottense of which the man is entirely
Innocent. These people are Germans,
and, as far as their statements are con-
cerned, it appears that this man,
through the officers, was persuaded
to plead guilty, without knowing the
effect of any such plea, but under the
general idea and assurance that it would
be much better for him. The stunning
sentence of twenty.seven years, ten years
for each of the indictments, and seven on
third, on a man who had committed no
otfense, but who was at work in another
mans shop at the time the burglary was
committed, and who was inveigled into
the affair because, as it appears, he had
purchased from the real thief, who now
makes the disclosure, some articles said
to have been stolen-such sentence, un.
der the circumstances, must have fallen
like death knell on the poor German
when he came to understand it.-.Trent0n

How the California Fields ere PlOwed,


Guk fields are plowed with what are
called gang plows, which are simply four,
six or eight plowshares fastened to stout
frame of wood. On the lighter soil, eight
horses draw seven gang plow, aud one
such team is counted on to put in 8i0
acres of wheat in the sowing season, or
from eight to ten acres per day, Captain
Gray, near Merced, has put in this season
1000 acres with Ave such teams-his own
land and his own teams. A seed sower is
fastened in front of the plow. 1t scatters
the seed, the plows cover it--and the work
is done. The plow has no handles, and
the plowman Is, In fact, only driver; he
guides the team; the plows do their own
work, It is easy work, and a smart boy,
If his legs are equal to the walk, is as good
a plowman as anybody--for the team
turns the corners, and the plow is not
handled at all. 1t is q striking sight to
see ten eight horse teams following each
other, over a vast plain, cutting Glands" a
mile long, and when all have passed.
leaving track, forty feet wide, of plowed
ground, On the heavier soil, the process
is somewhat different. An eight horse
team moves a four gang plow, and gets
over about six acres per day. The seed is
then sown by machine which scatters it
forty feet, and sows from seventy-five to
enc hundred acres in a day, and the
grounds then narrowed and croas harrow
ed. When the farmer IN this valley has
done his winter Sowing, he turns his
teams and men into other ground, which
he Is to summer fallow. This he can do
from the first of March to the middle Of
Mayi and by it he secures a femunerative
crop for the following year, even if the
season is dry. This discovery is of in
estimable Importance to the farmers on
the drier parts of these great plains.
Experience has now demonstrated con-
clusively that, if they plow their land in
the spring, let it lie until the winter rains
come on, then SOW their wheat and har-
row it in, they are sure of crop; and the
summer will have killed every weed be.

Agricultural Statistics,

WASHINGTON, June "a.
The June report of the statistician of
the Department of Agriculture, now in
press, is exhaustive in It's treatment of
wheat statistics. It is based from coun-
ties of which one hundred and ninety nine
indicate an average condition, twenty
counties higher than the average, and four
hundred and thirty-four in low condition
ranging from one hundred, the standard
OF medium prospect, down to ten, and in
few cases down 10 entire failure. The
state averages are calculated not simply
from the number of counties reported,
but from the comparative production of
the several counties. These DOB reports
include very large proportion of the
wheat area of the country. The summary
OF returns of area shows a reduction of
per cent, from that of 1871. The average
of spring wheat in the States which grow
that variety mainly is represented as fol-
lows; Maine, i0S; New Hampshire, 100;
Vermont, l02; Massachusetts, 95; Wis
consin,. 1913; Minnesota, 1O1 Iowa, 1906;
Nebraska, 113; Oregon, 107; California,
where the distinction of spring and
winter is scarcely known, reported spring,
100; winter, 1870; Illinois, where winter
wheat constitutes two thirds of tho crops,
gives 101 for winter, and rs for spring.
Kansas, where spring wheat predominates,
returns l4O for spring, and 81 for winter.
The States growing winter wheat are Con
necticut, 95; New York, 9S; New
