Paul Veil, the presl- dent of the congregation, read the prayers and assisted Rabbi Kleeberg The music un- der the direction of George Robinson and rendered by a quartette consisting of Misses Feuchtwanger and Phelps and the Messrs. Bush was quite elaborate. The sermon was listened to with rapt attention by the large assemblage.
 The next day in the calendar is the Day of Atonement, falling this year on Saturday, September 19. Services in the synagogue continue without intermission the entire day, as well for several hours on the pre- ceding evening" All persons who have at tained the age of 13 years abstain from food and drink from sunset on the evening pre- vious to dark of the next day.

He finally swung the stern around so that Burwell could get hold of the combing when he was pulled in much exhausted.

For puri- flying and vitalizing effects, Hoods Sarsapa- rilla has been found superior to any other preparation. It expels every trace of impu- rity from the blood, and bestows new life and vigor upon every function of the body, en- abling it to entirely overcome disease.

A Card.

Ten years ago this month the undersigned senior member of the firm of Wilson, Me Neil & Co., starting with one company estab- lished the fire insurance agency now doing business under the name of Wilson, McNeil & Go. Through the patronage and influence of the people of New Haven and vicinity the agency has grown to such magnitude that it now represents about thirty (3O companies doing about one-fourth G4) of the entire business and still increasing. Here allow me to return most grateful thanks to my friends and the public for such hearty support. The progress and growth of the agency has been strongly contested by its competitors, but honestly by most of them. The agency has facilities for doing 8 much larger business. And the fact that it does such large business is, I think, a sufficient guarantee that the people fully understand and appreciate, where their business receives the best care and attention, and where their losses are promptly and honorably settled. Please call at the office for rates and information or send word for some one from the office to call on you, and can guarantee your interests will be well car ed for.
