JEWISH NEW Wharf.-The Hebrew New
Year began on Monday evening last at
sunset, and the first day was celebrated on
Tuesday by a religious gathering of our
Hebrew fellow citizens, in their Sabbath
School, en- New street, over Mr.. A. Swift
zer's store. The services were conducted
in English and Hebrew, by Maj. Hart and
Mr.. l.. Cohn. This year, according to
Hebrew chronology, is the 5,637th of the
world. Two days are generally observed
by the orthodox Hebrews to commemorate
this event. The first day originally in
stituted as day of alarm and remem-
brance, has been gradually invested with
the character Or the beginning of the new
year. The authority for COMMUNICATING
this day and occasion is found in Levitt.
xxxlii, 9th, and other scattered pas.
sages of scripture. The Reformed con-
gregations only observe one day for tho
festival. The following will be the flate Of
the Hebrew notable days for the year 5ear

Gideon Brubaker, a worthy young man
of Page county, Va, had his foot ground
off by threshing machine last week.
Though the machine was running at full
speed, with eight horses attached, it was
checked to a stand still.
One hundred years ago the Lexington,
Va, Presbyterian church called Rev. VIM
Graham, at a salary of EGO los. To-day
they find one hard to get st goo.
Tennessee is about ready to pay her past
due coupons for the last three years. The
spirit of Uncle Samuel seem to brood over
everything this year.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAVED TO THE PEO-
PLE.-By the action of the House Of Rep
resentatives the reduction made in the ap-
preparation for 1877 ON that of 1876 is
$29, 9i4, 252.S6, which is a saving to the
people CT each Congressional district OF
$102, $685., or for the State Of Virginia IL
saving of 1923, 0O0.S5. Very well for be-
ginning, with an adverse Republican Sen
ate. Does anybody think the Democrats
won't carry the country on such q showing
as this? That's where the Republicans
have got to go under in New York and
Massachusetts,. They know what dollar
is worth in those States

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ALL
ARoUND.-Our neighbor the ''Valley Vir
ginia," last Thursday morning noticing
the nomination of Jos. Segar in the Nor.
folk district said:
The Republicans all over the State will
rejoice to see recorded the election of Jo-
seph Segar as the representative in Con.
gress from the Norfolk district.
A meeting of colored Republicans" in
Norfolk last Thursday night noticing the
nomination said:
r. solved, That the Hon. Joseph Sega1
is cot Il Republican, and will not be re.
ceived as such, but is wing, and there.
fore, we, as colored men and Republicans,
cannot under any circumstances, vote fol
him.
And the Hon. Jos. Segar in letter da-
ted Aug. 30th, 1868, and addressed to w
H. B. GUSTS, noticing "the Republicans
all over the State" said:
II would sooner have the State under
military power forever than have un.
der the government OF negroes and north
ern carpet baggers and Virginia scala
wags-far worse than either negroes OF

master Of political science, and hereto
fore Republican in politics, has written
long letter giving his reasons for sup

on the contrary, was opposed by the worst
elements of his party, and was nominated
