The jewish Fsnsr o 4 Dc.Ilcntlon.

The Jewish 'Hanuchab," the Feast of
Dedication, one Of the greatest ieaats OBJ
served by the Jewish church, begins to-
day, and lasts eight days. One OF the
peculiarities of its observance is that the
first night one candle is lighted and an
additional one each nigh! during its con-
tinuance. In the synagogue large brass
lamp with eight branches, called the
"Alenora," is brought ont, and, like the
candles, one branch is lighted each night
during the celebration. Services are held
in the churches every night and morning.
The feast was established to commemorate
the dedication Of the temple after it had
been detiled ani destroyed by Antiochus
Epiphauas. The origin ofthe eight lights
is found in an old legend, which dates
back to the rebuilding Of the temple aftel
its destruction. When Johannan, the
High Priest, was clearing away the rub
bish Of the temple he found a cruise Of OF
which burned for eight days.

sister and her father and mother, who
died very suddenly. y.some two years are
more ago" She strongly insists upon her
entire innocence. The analysis OF her sis

WINCHESTER, KY, Dec. ll.-During the
recent election riots at Morehead, KY, in
which a number Of parties engaged.
Floyd Toliver, or Taliaferro, as he was
sometimes called, was shot and instantly
killed by John P. Martin, Of that place.
Toliver resided in Farmers, and the au-
thorities, fearing that Martin might be
mobbed, brought him to this place for
safety, where he remained ut tho county
Jail until yesterday evening. A party Of
men from the section where the Crilfe
was committed, arrived on the afternoon
train, and going to the Jail, presented n
paper which appeared to be genuine
rcquisition for the prisoner from the Mag
istrate Of Rowan county. AIr. Eaton, the
jailer, though he had suspicious, could not
hold the prisoner in the face OF this de-
mand, and accordingly gave him up. The
posse came 10 the depot and waited for
the late train which passes here about
midnight. Martins wife was at the depot,
and when the party got on tho train,

but, the guards refused, saying they ex-
pected trouble, and she had to remain in
.he.hdjoining cur.
They arrived safely at Farmers Station,
iour miles this side OF Morehedd, where
The train w,s stopped by mob OF two
hundred armed men, part Of whom climb
.d on the engine and prevented the engi-
1eer from starting, while another squad
:ook possession Of Conductor lIaglan and
lis brakeman. The remainder then start.
I'd for the car which the prisoner was in,
md on reaching him, without further
ido, shot him in his breast fifteen times.
The unfortunate prisoners groans were
:errible, and, overcome by loss Of blood
rom his fatal wounds, sank back to the
loor, literally bathci in his own blood.
The mob and pseudo officers then left the
prisoner on the train and departed. Con-
luctor Raglan brought the wounded man
% Morehead at 8 o'clock this morning,
who despite his horribly gaping wounds,
ived until late hour to-day. The affair
las caused considerable excitement, and
nay prove the foundation Tor another
feud, that have been such
drawbacks to this section OF the country.
