THE JEWISH NEW YEAR.

Last Monday, September Gath, wal
the Jewish New Year, which was OBJ
served by our Jewish merchants by
the closing of their stores aud the
Keeping of the day according to the
custom of their people. The Jewish
New Year varies in date each year,
according 10 the new moons. The
Jewish calendar is computed by the
new moons, of which there are thir-
teen in our year, so that their new
year will fall next September on the
18th of the month. 1t varies any.
where from Sept. 1st to Sept 25th, but
very seldom comes 10 any other
month, although sometimes 10 the lat-
ter part of August. The Jewish CAL
endar dates from the beginning of
creation, which lie considered to have
taken place about $500 years aud 8
months before the Christian era. The
present year, which began last Mon
lay, is 5661. 1t is always observed as
\ holy day, day of rest, when the ex-
change of new year cards takes place
between the Jews, and the invocation
Of blessings upon each other.
On Tuesday of next week, Oct. 3rd.
The Jewish merchants will close at 6
D. m. and remain closed until Wednes-
lay at 6 p. M, which is their day OF
Atonement, and which will be observ-
ID by fasting and prayer.

1t is reported that the Valley Queen
will run in opposition to the steamer
Dewey in the New Orleans and
Bends trade, leaving on the same day.
This is done for the purpose of trying
to freeze out the Dewey, and the plan
ters aud business men should prevent
it if possible. The merchants of New
Orleans should not forget that Capt.
Cummins did not ask for any bonus
of $500 q week as other owners OF
boats did, but simply asked for their
good will and support, which was
promised, and which promise should
be lived up to by the business men OF
the Crescent City,. If they will do
this, we will have a boat all the year
round out Of that city. Give your
support to the Dewey. (

| The Lake Providence public schools
opened last Monday under the mos,
favorable circumstances. At the
white school there were 90 in attend.
ance at the opening, aud 80 at the COL
ored school, Prof. Roberts and Super
intendent c. r. Egelly expressed Them
selves as being highly gratified with
the good beginning, and both look
forward TO q successful term. There
is no reason why a child should not
get good common school education
at the public school here, as we'll as
elsewhere. There are five teachers,
all capable of teaching the classes as
signed to them. Prof Roberts. az all
know, issa graduate of the State Uni
versity at Baton Rouge. Mr.. S. B.
Kennedy, who has been assigned the
new room just added to the school. is
a graduate of the Southwestern Pres.
byterian University at GAINESVILLE, |
Tenn, which institution be attended
for four years, graduating with the |
degree of Bachelor of Philosophy.
The young ladies have all had the adj
vantages of collegiate courses, and
their former experience fits them for
the duties of the coming year. We
have no doubt that Prof Roberts will
give the same general satisfaction this
session as last session, and that the
public school will prosper under bis
as heretofore. At any
'ate, we hope it will.
