The astonishing increase in the
Number Of suicides annually occur
ring, has given rise to a vast amount
of speculation as to the cause of the
increase, and some very abstruso
philosophical speculation ca the
Wal ious devices adopted by individ-
uals tired Of lie. 1t appears that
the greatest Lumber occur in tho
large cities; tile average being
about two per week in Philadelphia.
and four per week in New York.
some OF these deaths are exceeding
~ peculiar IN siie means usel, but
the majority grow out Of remorse,
wxut, distress, and the accidents TO
sJcial position, and causes of sim
liar character. SO uniform has
been the utNber occurring annually
from this cause, that it is HOW as
serted that it is q form Of disease,
aud that the patient, when once
attacked, endures the torments ana
suffering of q frigh.ful disease, until
IN obedience to come irresistible i'm
pulse, he takes his life and thus
ends his tnissEy.
1t il also sIxted AZ a somewhat
remai kable fact, that the humber Of
suicides in the same locality are the
same pioportionstely from year to
year. The annual deaths from sui.
eide in Russia are l in 40, 1872 in
Austria, z in 10000; in France, l
in 5000 and iu Prussia. 1 in H..
4O4. In cities taken by themselves,
it 10 due TO mental depression, caus-
ed by disease, dispair, etc. Thus
the annual deaths by suicides in
San Francisco are III 1000; in
/ IA 40SsnO; in New York,
l IN f0, $40; BOSTON, / in II, $50 in
Brooklyn, 4 in T6;S06 If pUpnIation.

TIE HEBREW NEW YEsk.

Tue Hebrew New Year, which
RANKS as one ct the CHEF holidays
in the Hebrew calendar, began a,
sunset, Thursday the 10th inst.
and was sOlemnized here, as usual.
by our numerous Jewish citizens,
f.,r the twenty four hours following.
This festival takes place on TIE first
day of the seventh Hebrew month.
Tishri. 1t is the beginning Of the
sacred year OF fLe fsEaeli,as in dis
tinctiOn to the civil year, which
commences with the first Hebrew
monSh, Nissan, and which is sup
posed to date with the exodus If the
lsraelites from Egypt, and the New
Years festival, both takes place at
or about the equiuOctial season, the
first being celebrated at the vernal
and the latter at the autumnal equi
nox.
With the New Years festival be-
gins the Tea Peniten;ial Days.
which end with the Day Of Atone-
l0eDt, and during which every Is
'saeli,s is expected to prepare him
sefs &c meet lis MAKER and ask for
Eivenes5 Of his sins. Such is the
Importance with which New Years
day n regarded by Israeiites that a
week before the festival prayers are
daily recited in the synagogues as il
preparation for that day, aud a
trumphet is blown TO remind the
woFshlppers that but Il few days re-
main for then, during which to
practice penitence and charity. The
New Years day is known by sever
al titles, of which the ''Day of Re
Inembrance," the ebay of Judg-
1nent," aud the ebay of Creation
are the most Conspicuous. The lat
tier title ti,. day acquired by she
tradition which supposes that on
this day the universe was created
out Of chaos, and accordingly from
that festival the year 5637 began.
Another tradition which saws that
On New Years Day Providence
fixes the dee tination of nations and
individuals for the coming year,
has given the festival the name of
''Day Of Judgment" On that day
the trumpet is blown in the syna-
gOgues several times, as if but re-
minding the congregation that they
are but mOrtals, and will have soon
to render their account with their
Maker. The pray ers Oh the New
Year festival are divided under
several heads. There are prayers
of repentance, prayers of glorifca-
zion Of God, prayers for speedy
establishment of Gods kingdom
upon earth, for the union of all
men, the cessation Of strife and
war, and the acknowledgment by
all mankind Of one God, the creator
OF the Universe and the Arbiter OF
the Desiinies OF Nations.
Apart from the New Years festi-
val there WAS celebrated by the
lsraelites the Day of Atonement
and the Feast of Tabernacles.
whence the month Tishri has gained
the name of the holy mon b.
