A NEW TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE.
The Rev. A. S. Bethlehem, Rabbi con-
graduation Beth Ahabah of Richmond,
Va, has addressed II circular to the
learned Hebrews of the country, asking
their cooperation in the work of making
ing a new translation of the Hebrew
Scriptures. The Doctor expresses great
confidence in the ability of America to
furnish the talent to make proper I'M
biased translation of the Masoretic text,
of the Bible, and proposes to call con-
vention for the purpose of facilitating the
enterprise as soon as sufficient number
of co-laborers are obtained. The trans
lation now used is Leeser's, work Of
great value, but defective since philoso-
ply, geography, archaeology, &c, have
thrown so much light upon holy writ.

The case of Godfrey Mabrey, to which re-
ference was made yesterday, who was fined
$40 and sent to the city Jail for twelve
months for resisting police officer, was APP
pcaIed from the decision Of the Mayor, and
the case was sent on to the next grand

Mr.. Travis Harris, an Old aud respected CT
izen, died suddenly last night at his home in
Bandford. Of heart disease.
The proposition for the holding Of an Ag-
ricEtural Fair next fall has not come to any,
thing yet, and from present appearances it
seems unlikely that the undertaking will be
successful. MIR. w. Roane Ruffin, president
OF the Society, was in be city yesterday and
had conferences with various merchants
with respect to the exhibition. MIR. Rutfin
SAYS that it is for the people and not for the
Oil Gals Of the society to decide whether or
pot any fair shall be held. IF the citizens
furnish The material and munitions of war,
The officials of the society will take steps i'm
m"diateIy TO see that they are expended in
the proper manner, so as to secure an cX-
tensive and successful exhibition.
A special train, conveying picnic ex-
cursion ct Sunday. school children, arrived
this morning from SufJlk. There were also
i large number OF grownup visitors aboard,
and the streets of the city have presented to-
day spectacle Of unusual animation. 1t Is
stated that eight hundred people, big and
little, were in the party. The picnic took
place at Poplar Lawn.
Mayor Gregory made an Intellectual at
tempt last night to catch some Of his new

maGe the rounds Of the entire city, but was

Conservative police places it in marked and
most favorable contrast with the late black

FREE TRADE.-The next campaign lot
President will show some changes in pubic
opinion about The tariff. Some districts once
fsr protection will be for free trade, anu some
newspapers once famous for protection, IL Is
expected, will be for free trade. The west mas
cut loose from protection. AT the last presl-
GENITAL election it was deemed necessary TO
! ave the tariff question TO the congressional
districts, it being impossible to unite party
upon the subject. HALsTEAp, Of the Cincin-
rati Commercial, in Il speech before the
Golden Club, London, said sail the great
central States are unit for free trade" de
has been much criticised for the remark,
but be is nearer the truth than are his critics.
1t is quite probable that we shall have no
great agitation over the subject as national
question, and that Congress will be lett to
seneralize bill striking fair medium be-
tween a tariff affording protection and one
for revenue, getting as much money as the
Government needs and affordng such Incl.
dental protection to home manufactures as
NAV be derived from pretty sharp taliT not
levied with view to protection.

FREDERICKSBURG AND CHARLOTTESVILLE RAIL.
RoAD-FGY's SPRING COuRT-DAY - TEACl-
ERs Observation-Disclosures CONVENTION.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, August 4, 1874.
Several delegates from this place attended
the meeting on the Both ultlmo, ut Orange
Courthouse, in the interest Of the F'rede-
ricksburg and Charlottesville railroad B..
J. Barbour, E,q again occupied the chair,
and Judge Goodrich and Il. 7. Wallace APP
pointed secretaries. A committee appointed
TO prepare business for the meeting reported
in substance that it was desirable to prepare
and publish statement Of the merits of the
proposed enterprise, aud that the company
should take immediate steps to complete the
road, md that it should be so re0rganlzed as
that all sections OF the line should be repre-
scented, deprecating any attempt to divert the
line Of the road SO as TO run 1t by Gordons-
vile, SC.
The meeting was harmonious, and there
seems to be a general conviction that the
completion Of the road is q necessity which
we cannot avoid. The Convention adjourn
ed subject TO the call of the chairman.
The season at Fry's spring opened GU Sat
urday last by bull and picnic. Notwilh-
standing the threatening aspect of the Wea-
ther, there was a good attendance Of ladies
and gentlemen. Music was furnished by the
Charlottesville band, and everything went
mcrrily. 1t is understood that the proprie.
tor intends building there this fall a hotel
for the accommodation Of those who desire
to avail themselves of the benefit OF the wa.
tiers, and to induce persons from the lower
country, who are perhaps unable TO go 10
expensive watering places farther in tue
| mountains, TO visit our beautiful section du'
RIM the heated term Of summer.
Yesterday was court.day, and the town
was Gro " ded with people. Whskey flowed
freely, and many were drunk. IL is slngu'
| lar thing that men can find money to buy
| liquor with, and yet can lind none to pay
taxes and pay debts with. Very little money
! was taken by the merchants.
The wonderful "come out" of the corn
crop since the rains is the talk Of every one
1t is now said that there has hardly ever be-
tore been such a prospect.
| Apples and watermelons, etc., are being
brought in, and are OF very good quality.
The Teachers Institute for Albemarlt
county is now in session here, report Of
