The Israelites Of Harrisonburg have
become offended at the Register, be-
cause a local appeared in that paper
headed Taking the starch out Of
Jew" The use Of the term Jew"
proved offensive and the Hebrews IN
retalition held a meeting and passed a
number of resolutions, one Of which is
that they will not entertain any further
commercial relations with the above
mentioned Rockingham Register"
We regret to see any such action as it
has tendency to create and foment a
bitter feeling between the Americans
and Hebrews as classes Of society. If
the object Of the Hebrews is to confne
their commercial relations to their own
people exclusively, we can readily un-
derstnnd their object but if they ex-
pect to crush newspaper ard at the
same time to secure the patronage Of
the people Of RocKingham,. they are
certainly injuring themselves instead OF
the paper. Such efforts TO produce pub
lie prejudice may succeed in some Sec
tions, but in this Valley, it will certain
ly react upon the parties themselves.

DISTURBANCE OF RELIGIOUS WoR-
SHIP Complaint has been made on
several occasions that religious meetings
have been disturbed by some parties IL
this place. Should the offence be re-
peated, the law will certainly be en-
forced. We publish, for the benefit OF
parties interested, the law upon the
subject.
"If a person wilfully interrupt or dis
turb any assembly met for the worship
ofGod, or shall, being intoxicated, dis
turb the same, wheather wilfully or not,
he shall be confined in jail not more than
six menths aud fined not exceeding one
hundred dollars; and justice may put
him under restraint during religious
worship and bind him, for not more
than one year to be of good behavior"
PERsoNAL.-Our Office was i;lumi-
mated last week by the smiling counte-
nance OF the new Editor of the Rocking
ham Register. He is always a welcome
guest. We are glad to learn that the
Reqister will soon appear with new
dress. The Register under the manage
ment of Deyier s. Dechert, will, we have
n. doubt, take stand among the first
papers of the State. When Col. ID.
makes an effort to enlarge the subscrip-
ton list, it will certainly go a flying"
for it is just as natural for him to pick up
subscribers as fora duck to pick up
grains OF corn. Success to you, gem
tIemen.
