As UxcstJAL Service. —We find in the New Haven Palladium the follow ing account of a novel and impressive ceremony -. “The Jewish (orthodox) congrega tion, Sons of Peace having received from Europe anew ‘scroll of laws,’ celebrated the inauguration of the same yesterday at one o’clock I’. M. Tl>« ceremonies were very impressing. The most important feature was the selling at auction in the Hebrew language of the oncies, or letters which are left va cant in the beginning qf the scroll, which are considered as a symbolical idea that the purchaser has the privilege to insert one of these letters to convey the idea that the writer of this letter also had a hand in the writing of the Tourais Noshe (Laws of Moses.) After this a procession was formed four Israelites carrying the Chtippa, a square covering, the corners of which were on large poles, representing the canopy of Heaven, and under this a purchaser of the privilege carried the Torah, which is a scroll of parchment, on which is written in Hebrew, the guroshe, gumshe Torah, or five books of Moses. After this a feast was held at Arcade Hall, where the heavily laden tables proved that provision had been made for the inner man. Speeches of great interest in relation to the cere monies were made by several of the jnvited guests, after which the com pany dispersed to their homes well pleased with the religious service.” A Villain. —Were we called upon to paint a perfect devil, we would not paint a horned monster, red hot from pande monium, hissing and spurning his lava from eyes, mouth, and nostrils. We would not limn a yelling, tattooed In dian, with one hand grasping his reeking tomahawk, and with the other clutched in the long tresses which he has just torn from the head of a defenceless lernale. We would not paint a sinister assassin, disguised and bludgeoned, creeping with steady, cat-like tread into the presence of his sleeping victim. These are all horrid enough ; but there are blacker devils than they upon the earth. This is how we should paint them. He should he a man, courted and petted in society, a parlor favorite, handsome as an Adonis. We would throw long, wavy locks around his fine proportioned head. We would clothe him in fine raiment. He should move in brillinnt halls, and he the cynosure of admiring eyes. Wise men should seemingly he listeners to his eloquence, and fair women should applaud him with their sweetest smiles. But there should he a background to the picture. It should he a girl, humble, but fair as the lily, whose heart is the charnel house wherein is entombed her de*d virtue, and with slender, emaciated finger, should point out her seducer, the murderer of her honor, her chastity, her sole heritage. Who would say we have not painted a perfect devil ? Among 10,000 |»ersoiiS, one arrives at ninety ; und one in one hundred lives to the age of sixty years. Married men live longer thaii those who are single. The yearly mortality of the globe is, 3,333,333 persons. Thus, at the rate of J) 1,554 per day, 3,730 per hour, and f.O per minute, men pass away.

Chancellor MPSCOMB gives his testi mony in the following terms : Viuvkrsity or Ohorgia, ) Nov. 14th, ISfifi. j "I have examined with great care the Goodrich Series of School Headers, edittd by Noble Butler, A. M. I consider these Readers admirably adapted to secure the end for which they have been prepared. The selections are judicious, and the ar rangement is excellent. Reading is here presented as an art; the consecutive meth ods of instruction are thoroughly exhibited, while the principles of correct and elegant Rending, with the illustrations that em body them, are so happily introduced, that easy and natural progress may be made. I am particularly pleased with the NEW SIXTH READER. This work has pecu liar merits. It combines, in an eminent de gree. the best features of our most pbilo lopphic systems of Elocutionary Reading; and, apart from its other recommendations, is especially worthy of the attention of Teachers on the ground of its eclectic value. I shall introduce the New Sixth Reader into the Elocutionary Department of this Uni versity. A. A. LIPSCOMB, Chancellor." “Butler’s Grammars impress me very favorably. So far ns T have been able to examine them, they strike me ns very suc cessful efforts to adapt the subject of Gram mar to young minds. They teach the pupil how to think in the study of Grammar; and at most Grammars fail at this point, I can very fully commend theso books to the at tention of Teachers. A. A. LIPSCOMB, Chancellor." We could append the endorsement of these rare Books from all the important Teachers in the City of Augusta, who will h renfter use them exclusively in their schools. «>ur Books have recently been adopted as follows : Readers and Grammars into all ilie Schools of Texas, through the action of the State Convention at Houston, July 4th, 1 Sf>6. Grammars, Arithmetic, and Algebra in all the Public, and most of the Private Schools of New Orleans.

The New York Examiner , says ; Every mother and housekeeper must often act as a family physician in the many ill nesses and accidents that occur among chil dren and servants. For many of those cases, I have used Davis’ Pain Killer, and consider it an indispensable article in the medicine box. In diarrhoea, it has been used and effected cures. For cuts and bruises, it is invaluable. The Editor of the Christian Advocate , says : It is a real pleasure to us to speak favorably of this article, known almost universally to be a good and safe remedy for burns and other pains of the body. It is valuable not only for colds in the winter, but for various summer complaints, and should be iu every family. A. D. Miller, Editor of Messenger, Glens Falls, N. Y., says : There is no medicine nt the present day I value so highly as Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer. I have used it in my family for years; in every instance it has proved a sovereign remedy. I tested its qualities to-day on a severe burn, and found it all that could be desired. Mr. John Jackson, of tho Calais Adver ti*cr, writes : I know it to ho all it is recommended, having used it in my family six or seven years. Tho Salem Observer says . No article of medicine over attained to such unbounded popularity and extensivo diffusion. It has penetrated to every part, even the most remote, of the known world, bearing with it its healing influences more potent than those of the spices of “Araby the blessed." We are informed by our principal druggists, that they sell more of this article for exportation than of any or all otherp, and that the demand is constant? increasing. The Cincinnati Xovparcil, Nov. 14, IS4O, says : Some of our most prominent citizens and business men strongly recommend it to the public as an article of great merit and virtue, and that they never knew any medicine to become so dosorvodly popular in so short a time* From Clergymen. Ilov. J. C. Boomer s»y»: I have used Porry Davis’ Pain Killer with great success in CH«es of cholera infantum, common bowel complaint, bronchitns, coughs, cold*, etc.’, and would chrerfully recommend it ns a valuable family medicinu. Rov. J. G. Stearns, says: I consider it tho best remedy I over knew for dyspepsia. Rov. Edward X. Fuller says : I have witnessed the beneficial effects of your Pain Killer in cases of dysentery and cholera morbus, within a sow months past, and would cheerfully recommend its uso to iiieh as may bo suffering from similar dii enscs, ns n »n fe and effectual remedy. Rev. A. Webster, Editor of tho Christian Era, writes: I have used your Tain Killer for many years in my family with much satisfaction. oc2B—2m DAILY PRESS BOOK k JOB FMTE AND Bookbinding Establishment 190 BROAD AND 153 ELIS STREET, AUGUSTA GA.
