that a wagon can go up as far as "Su-

the county; Capt. Clark calls the hill
"new Mt. Zion" This pinacle is $50
feet high by the survey, but the grade
is so gradual that a horse can draw
nearly as much as on the level, and if

Hebrew New. Year.

The Israelites will commence cele-
brating their New-Year at sundown
70 o'clock) this evening. This is the
beginning of the seventh month,
called "Tizri," the first and second days
of which they commemorate as the
festival of New-Years' Day. This day
is called "a day of memorial" signi-
flying that the people are called upon
to bring to mind their actions during
the past year, and pray to the Lord to
pardon their sins. 1t Is also desig-
mated as "a day of blowing of trum-
pets" after the ancient customs prev
alent upon this occasion; and still fur
ther known as day of trial for mems
souls. Wise men have proclaimed
that this is the day on which the world
was brought into existence; this Is the
day on which the Great God causes all
His creatures to stand before Him.
The Sabbath between the New Year
and the Day Of Atonement is called
the Sabbath of Penitence, it being one
of the ten days of repentance. The
third day of this month is general
fast, called the Fast of Gadaliah, in
memory of the murder of that pious
man. Gadiah was the son of Ahi-
kan, whom Nebuchadnezzar, King of
Babylon, had made the Chief of the
Israelites who had remained in their
own country, after the destruction of
the first temple. Gadaliah was on this
day slain, with many of his friends, by
Ishmael. The tenth day is called the
Day of Atonement; it is the last of the
ten days of penitence. On this day,
as commanded in the law, solemn
feast is declared for the pardon
of sin, to all those who are
sincere and true in their repentance.
The feast is held from the evening of
the ninth to the evening Of the tenth
day. 1t is considered the most holy
day in the year and so sacredly is it to
be observed that the Isrealitish people
are restricted from wearing their
shoes or washing and refreshing them
selves as on other days. 1t will be re-
membered that during the period of
the existence of the Holy Temple in
Jerusalem, this day of atonement was
day of great solemnity; the whole
nation was fasting and praying; the
Temple was attended by priests who
were engaged in their duties; the
Levites were occupied in singing
praises to the Almighty, and this was
the only time in the year when the
High Priest was allowed to enter the
Holy of Holes.
Tomorrow and the succeeding holy
days will be observed strictly by our
Jewish citizens. In the morning
Reverend Mr.. Edelman will preach in
the Synagogue on the text found in
Isiah, Chapter 43, Verses l, 5, II
and %.
"Thus said the Lord that created thee
o Jacob, and He that formed thee o
Israel. Fear not for have redeemed
thee, have called thee by thy name,
thou art mine. Fear not for I am
with thee, from the east will I bring
thy seed, and from the west will I
gather thee; for am the Lord and
besides me there is no Saviour. For it
is I, even l, who blotted out your
transgressions, until now, not for
your righteousness, nor the righteous
ness of your forefathers but for my
sake. And 1t is who will pardon all
your iniquities, and your sins l will
not remember"

Fatal Accident.

A sad casualty occurred yesterday
resulting in the death Of lad about
sixteen years of age named Mark
Carleton. 1t seems that during the
noon recess, about half past II o'clock
Mark and his brother Frank with
some other companions went out on
Temple street, short distance from
the high school building, for the pur-
pose of trying revolver which they
had. The revolver was five shooter
carryinga small bullet not much lar
ger than good sized shot. They dis
charged several barrels and supposed
them all emptied, when Mark took
the pistol and began removing some
OF its parts to show his companions
the spring in the lock, meanwhile
holding the hammer back with his
thumb. The weapon was held in his
left hand with the muzzle pointing at
his own breast and while in this pos
ture, his thumb slipped from it's hold
and the fatal shot was discharged.
The ball entered the heart or very
near it and the unfortunate boy ex-
pired in about four minutes.
The remains were taken to the resi-
dence of the lads father, on Spring
street, near Fourth, where Coroner
Richardson was summoned and elic-
tied the facts as given. The funeral
will take place this morning at 10
o'clock from the residence of the par
ents. Friends of the family are in
vited to attend. The classmates of the
lad so late and deeply lamented will
join the funeral procession as it passes
the High School building. We trust
that this terrible accident will prove
an impressive warning to other youth
of our city who may be inclined to
handle fire arms. Boys, don't carry
or handle pistol; it is neither orna-
mental or useful, and the life of the
owner or some OF his companions may
pay dear price for the use of the toy.

Well, such is life. How much we grope
