The Hebrew Feast of the Passover, probably
the most important festival set down in the
Jewish calendar, commenced with sunset last
Wednesday evening, that being the 18th day OF
the month of Nissen. The festival of the Pass
over is ordained to commemorate the goodness
and mercy of Almighty God in having heard
and answered the cries of the children of Israel
when they were cruelty prosecuted by the
Egyptians. It is sometimes called the Feast
of Unleavened Cakes" and continues eight
days, the first two and last two being observed
by the more orthodox as holy and sacred to the
Lord. On these days no business is allowed to
be transacted by the members of the orthodox
church, nor must any work be done. They are
observed in the synagogues by the reading OF
the passages of Scripture fnstitutfng the FEAST
and the preaching of appropriate sermons.
During the four intermediate days the menu
bers of the church are allowed to perform work,
but required to confine themselves to such du-
ties as are absolutely necessary. No leaven is
allowed to be eaten during the festival, and on
the day before Passover all bread beer or any
kind of liquors made of grain, and all vessels
used for containing the same. are removed from
Jewish houses.
This festival has been observed by our Hebrew
citizens. and the religious services, Maj. Hart
being reader, were held in their synagogue on
Augusta street last Wednesday, the firstsaay Of
the Passover, and will also be held tomorrow,
the last day of this important festival.

a}-ss. APRIL 18TH.
Broad Head is bright mountain riv-
ulet, formed by springs in the highest
land of the great Valley, and is the be
ginning of the famous Shenandoah
This stream, so remarkable for the crys-
tal-like transparency of its waters,
drains the entire Valley from the south
ern part of Augusta county to the Po-
tomac. Its tributaries flow through
meadows Of deep green color, indica-
ting an, exceedingly rich soil below
The writer follows the course of the
branch of the Shenandoah known as
South River, passing Greenville, Fish
ersville and Waynesboroagh. The last
is pretty town, seeming to have grown
up from large Touring mills on the
South River. 1t has several handsome
residences, three churches, a newspa-
per, and exhibits disposition to grow.
Blue Ridge at Rock Fish Gap, both Of
the Valley and of a part Of Eastern
Virginia, are indesoribably striking
Here is material for countless paintings.
A summer resort is at the top Of the
Ridge, and ON it's sunward descent a
superb Hotel, at railroad station, with
the pleasant poetic name of Afton.~
Here throngs Of visitors are found every
summer ,lf, enjoying tine Hne mountain
air and magnificent scenery. The cam
paign, which, however, is rolling. at
the foot of the Blue Ridge, is the most
westernly portion of the famous county
in Virginia, beautifully named Albe-
marie. Hillsborough, Brownsburg, and
Meechum's River, are pretty hamlets
in this section, the latter being station
on the railroad.
Turning hack here, the eye, at every
moment, takes in the most delicious
pleasures afforded by undulating, noun
tain and. sky scenery. To the east are
the Southwest. mountains, and to the
south, the Ragged mountains, of less
elevation than the Blue Ridge. The
woods, fields, orchards and gardens, are
feeling the warm caresses Of the angel
Of spr;ng the turtle and the thrush are
singing : and the odors Of young leaves
and open blossoms and tiowsrs are in
the air RECALLING the scene.

DESTRUCTIVE WEAPoN.-Mr.M Marshall Wood.
of Greenbrier county, w. Va, man OF re-
markable mechanical genius, is the inventor
and patentee of a many-barreled gun, which Is
one of the most destructive weapons which has
ever been invented. 1t consists of eight barrels
and each barrel discharges sixty balls per
minute 1t would be impossible to get the
bravest infantry or cavalry to charge in the
face of such death-dealing guns. Thearmy that
would be supplied with these guns, though OF
interior numbers, would be almost sure to be
victorious --
The Government that would have the monop-
oily OF their manufacture and use, could defy
the combined armies OF. the world.
The model of this gun will be on exhibition at
the Worlds Exposition at Paris, and if the
French Government should become the pur-
chaser of the sole right to it, La Belle France
could soon become the Prince Regent of Europe.
