YOM KIPPUR.

At six o'clock last evening began the Jewish fast
OF Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement, which lasts
twenty -four hours. During this time faithful
Hebrew can eat q morsel of food drink drop of
liquid. In the Jewish calendar the day is the tenth
of the month of Tishara the seventh month of the
year according to their system. In ancient times
the high priest used to bring to the Temple the
sacrifice Of atonement. Since the destruction Of the
Temple the day has been celebrated by Hebrews all
over the world one Of special prayer to God.
The orthodox Jews of former generations
used spend the day shocless and clothed
in their shrouds to remind them of
death. which is the principal subject offered for
meditation on this occasion. These ancient rigors
have OF late been abandoned, but the same prayers
said and the same liturgy Is followed The
atoning power of prayer TO effect the forgiveness of
sins the chief for the fast, and food and
drink prohibited in order by keeping down the
sensual appettes the mind may be left free for
temptation. All the Jewish synagogues and temples
were open last evening and the usual prayers
offered In many of them the rabbes delivered SER
mons exhorting their congregation to repentance.
To-day they will remain open until evening. when
the ceremonies will close with the sounding of the
shofar as q signal of the end of the fast.

CHARGES OF REGULATION.

New BRUNSWICK, \. j., Sept. 90. 1879.
1t is currently reported about New Erunswick to-
day that the Grand Jury of Middlesex county. now
the Court House. has found bills of in
dictment against nearly all the members of the
Board of Chosen Freeholders OF the county. For q
long time the manner in which the members of the
Board have been acting has been subject of COM
ment throughout tne county. 1t is said that they
have been accustomed whenever they held meet
ing to take their dinners at the county's EXPENSE
that they have charged for two or three days WORK
every time they did one, III tact have been getting
the county's money III their own pockets in many
and devious ways. 10 such an extent was this
charging said TO be carried that a member of the
Board a few years ago, as the story goes, charged
for days work than there were days in the year.
counting in Sundays and holidays. Although the
local papers called attention to the fact ut the time
his bill was, it is said, paid in fun.
Whatever truth there may be i'll these charges, 1t
is certain the Grand Jury have had an expert exam
inng the accounts or the county, and 1t Is generally
believed that frauds have been discovered. The
Board is very nearly evenly divided politically the
republicans having majority. The alleged pecu-
latons do not seem to have ueen confined to either
party. As the Grand jury have not yet brought in
their true bills II Is impossible to say what inen-
bers OF the Board are indicted; but although the
jurymen sworn to secrecy 1t has leaked out that
the members left unindcted are not enough 10 form
a quorum.
AIiddlescx county seems in q fair way to outdo
Warren in the matter OF discovering and pun
