FEAST OF THE TABERNACLE. - Yesterday
the Israelites of this city celebrated the feast
of the Observation-Disclosures called the feast
of the tents, because it commentaries the
dwelling in tents in the wilderness-at their
Synagogue. This is one of those great annual
feasts of the Israelitish church, and marks the
beginning of the civil year.
Mr.. Aaronson officated as High Priest, cloth
ed in his official robes of white, with long
white garment that was draped over the head
like cowl and bordered with sombre colors.
He was assisted by two others as attendent
priests. The men all wore their hats during
the services, which consisted of prayers for the
rebuilding of the Temple at Jerusalem, that
God might send rain all the year, and also in
Guiding thanks to the Creator for the blessings
they had enjoyed for the past year, with the
wish that prosperity might continue to abide
with them in the future. The services were in
the Hebrew language, were intoned, accompan
led with frequent bending of the body. Hymns
were also sung and the ceremonies were very
impressive.

ers for the County of Cumberland.
FTNHE undersigned, citizens of Cumberland county,
Il respectfully represent that the Indexes of the
Records in the Cumberland Registry of Deeds are
very unsatisfactory in their arrangement and general
condition; that they erroneous in the matter of
entries; of the books much worn and soiled
requiring immediate rewriting while others are very
obscurely written and liable TO lead to error and the
method of ndexing formerly in is entirely made
quate to the demands of so extensive records thus
making the work of searching extremely laborious
and unreasoDably inconvenent.
We further represent that Mr.. E. Leach has under
taken and partially completed strictly Alphabet
cal Index to the whole series OF Records from the
date of the incorporation of the county in 760 to the
present time; and that said Index, when completed
Is calculated to much labor and expense in the
consultation of the records to expedite the
ton of business and to add greatly to convenience
of the public.
We therefore respectfully request the Commission
to examine the work of Mr. Leach, and to ascer-
tain his price for the same and if satisfied of the
creased advantages possessed by MI. Leach's index
to purchase the same, If 1t can be obtained for rea-
sonabe sum, and to cause it to be completed for the
use of the public.
We also request you to name a place and an early
time for hearing of your petitioners.

THE late robbery of the Bank at Waterford,
by which so heavy loss was suffered by those
who had left bonds with the bank for safe
keeping, should be warning to the public to
deposit their securities with the Safe Deposit
Company of this city, in the Mutual Life
Building" at the corner of Broadway and Lib
erty street. .
From our own knowledge of the security
of the premises, and the admirable manage
ment of the institution, the pioneer one OF the
world we feel that in calling attention to 1t we
are doing service to our readers.
The institution also takes charge of savings
bank books for a very trifing annual charge.
The above we take from the Commercial
Advertiser of New York and place it in our
columns, believing the remark wise and of in
terest to many in our vicinity We have in
our city Safe Deposit Vault, the security and
management of which will compare most fav-
orably with any in the country, and there is nc
good reason why parties should longer EN-.
barass the banks with their securities or rely
upon the ordinary safe or secretion at home fol-
security.
