Rosh Hashannah.

The Jewish year 5646 commenced last
night, and the Hebrews throughout the
world met it with prayer and penitence for
the past. The services in the beautiful
little synagogue in Staunton were inter
esting and impressive, and were witnessed
by number who were not members Of the
faith. The Hebrew nation keeps up it's
memories of the past and maintains its
notable advance towards brilliant future
Last night, this morning, and noon and
eve on Friday, were and will be marked
with New Y ears impressive ceremonies.
Every morning for some days before and
for eight days after e.rly propitiatory
prayers are recited among the Germans,
while among the Portuguese such PRAYERS
are read every evening for month before
and week after, while at service The day
before New Y ears an atonement is read
before daylight besides. The first ten
days of the year are called the ten days of
penance, the last of which is the day of
atonement. The ceremonies of the new
year, or Rosh Hashanna, to use the lie

shofar in the synagogue, to remind the
congregation of the approach of the great

with their neighbors before they seek 10

Lawn Party at Deerf1eld..

LhepOrt6O IOr Cne VIRG1NIAN.l
On the Sd inst. the Baptists of this place
gave lawn party for the benefit of their
minister. Owing to the inclemency of
the weather, and being disappointed in
securing the services of the Stonewall
Band, there was not as large crowd in at
tendance as there would have been. This
however, did not prevent those present
from enjoying themselves, and doing am
pie justice to the abundance of splendid
refreshments, furnished by the fair sex Of
denominations In the community. Judg-
ing from the interest manifested, it was
difficult to know for the benefit Of which
denomination it was intended. The most
interesting feature Of the evenings enter
tainment, was the disposal of an elegant
prize cake, furnished by Mrs. Glare, of
GAINESVILLE Stave Factory. formerly of
Richmond, Va. The contestants for the
prize were Misses May Beck and Annie
Maloney, the former winning.
The sum realized was quite a handsome
one, sufficient to answer all desired pur-
poses, for which we here tender our most
sincere thanks to all who so kindly aided
us. ANXIOUS.

SAD DEATH OF Young STAUNToN-
IAN.-On Thursday morning last. Mr.. Jas.
q. Newman, of this city, a popular and
estimable young man. was found dead in
his bed in Richmond, whittier he had gone
to engage in business. The particulars of
this sad affair, as given by the Dispatch,
are reproduced below. The remains
reached Staunton on Saturday and were
buried at Thornrose. The deceased had
many friends in Staunton, among whom
his death has caused q profound feeling of
sorrow. The Dispatch of Friday says:
MI. James E. Newman was found dead
in bed at KrauSes European House. next
door to the Theatre, yesterday morning,
The deceased was about TWENTY-FIVE
years OF age, and came to this city from
Staunton about year ago, and was en-
ployed as a barkeeper by Mr.. Morgenstern.
On July lst he was furloughed for two
months. and went to Staunton to spend
his holiday. Night before last he returned
to resume work. 1t happened that Mr.,
Morgenstern' house was crowded with
visitors from Washington, and Mr.. New
man therefore went to Mr.. Krause's to
spend the night. Mr.. Krause-who is a
son-in-law of MI. Morgenstern-gav Mr..
Newman a small ballroom, and shortly
before II clock deceased retired. being
then in the best of spirits. He left orders
to be called at q o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and about that hour a boy went to
NeWman'S room and knocked. but getting
no response opened the door (which was
not locked and went to the bed to rouse
deceased. He found him dead and the
room filled with gas.
Newman, it seemed probable, had gone
to bed smoking a cigar had laid the stump
on chair, tucked the bed-clothes about
him. and fallen asleep, and been killed by
escaping gas. Upon examination of the
gas-flXtures it was found that the KEY, or
plug, used to turn the gas off or on at the
burner had dropped from the socket and
fallen to the floor. The screw that had
neld the key IN place could not be found.
There was at first some suspicion that
deceased mad committed suicide, but Cor
,Oner Taylor, who investigated the matter.
could lind nothing at all to Justify that
Idea. On the contrary, everything that he
could learn went to show that during the
night the key by accident dropped from it's
place and let into the room (which was
small, and the door and window of which
were closed) a great stream of gas. Nor
was there anything about the gas to make
1t more dangerous than Illuminating gas
ordinarily is.
An inquest was considered unnecessary.
Mr.. Morgenstern had the body properly
prepared for burial, and last night took it
TO Staunton, where the relatives of de-
ceased reside,

City School Board.

Last week the City School Board met
and reconsidered the vote by which Mr..
Richard May was elected to the position
held last year by Mr.. Lincoln. They then
elected Mr.. Thos. J. Phelps, of Appomat-
tox county, to the vacancy.
1t would have been far more creditable
for the Board to have reconsidered the
vote by which Mr. Hutchens was defeated
for the position he so faithfully and accep-
tally filled in the past. 1t is reproach to
the city that the spirit of party should be
allowed to dominate an interest that is
dearest of ALTO the people. 1t advertises
to the world that neither character, capac-
ity nor acceptability to parents and pupils
shall weigh feathers weight against po-
litical prejud;ces in the selection of teach
ers. If Mr.. Hutchens had been blatant,
offensive partizan. there would have been
justification for the action of the Board.
But such he was not, He was simply a
Republican, who when asked how he would
vote, without hesitation stated his convic-
ton. But for the interrogatory his polit-
oalpreference would not have been known,
soquietly had he exercised his right as a
citizen. Indeed, one member of the Board
who voted against him, said that his de-
feat was not due to his partizaniim, but
that the Board declined to re-elect him in
Difference to one of it's members. The
meaning of this was, that in the division
of the Baptist Church, Mr.. Hutchens had
gone with the new congregation, whilst
the member in question had remained
with the old. This excuse is even worse
than the other. IF it has come to such a
pass that a nan has to not only suppress
his political convictions but conform his
religious belief to that of the School Board
in order to secure recognition, then the
sooner Staunton relieves itself of such a
Board the better it will be for the reputa.
ton OF the city and the interest of the
schools.
To show in what esteem Mr.. Hutchens
was held by the Superintendent of the City
Schools, we append the following certif-
