upon Hymen Cohn, aged about fou
months, the youngest son of iona
COIN, merchant of this city-Rev. DR.
Levlnberg, of San Francisco, officiating
he having been summoned here for tina
express purpose. According to the Mo
sale law, this rite should be performe,
upon male children the eighth day afte
birth; but In the Present case it wa
necessarily deferred, owing to the fac
that no one properly qualified to perform
the operation could be found in this re
mote locality. A few friends and invite,
guests were present at the circumcision
among the number DR.. A. C. Bisbo,
(who expressed his satisfaction at tn
sklllful manner in which it was per
tormed) and other gentlemen, not of tn,
Jewish persuasion. Before and afte
the operation fervent prayers were Offered
up, by the officiating clergyman in tn,
Hebrew tongue. A superior collatio,
was spread. including the choicest wines
ana Oh these all present partook will
much gusto. Like all of his race Mr.
Cohn was profuse in his hospitality. 4
blessing was asked, when the compan,
TOOK seats at the table, and when ampl,
justice had been done to the edibles anf
viands spread with SO lavish hand. an
other blessing was asked in the Hebrew
tongue. Toasts were drank to the heaItI
and happiness of Mr.. and Mrs. Cohr
and the long life and usefulness Of Their
promising offfpring. 1t should be re.
membered that circumcision is Of Divine
origin. God commanded Abraham &c
use 1t as sign of His covenant. and in
obedience to this order the patriarch. a,
the age OF W years, was circumcised, as
also his son lshmael and also the males
OF his household. God repeated the
precept to Moses, and SO the Jews and
all other nations springing from Abra.
ham-Ishmaeites, Arabians, etc.-haye
always been exact in observing it. Al
the present day it is an essential rite of
the Mohammedan religion, though not
enJoined in the Koran. The ancient
Jews esteemed uncircumcision as great
impurity, and the greatest offense they
could receive was to be called uncircum.
