Hebrew New Year. ThnradflV nnil UViHnv worn K»r

Thursday and Friday were observed, by our fellow citizens of the Jewish persuasion, as the New Year's festival, the year commencing on the Ist of the Hebrew month Tishri, being the 29th of September. On this day week, the great fast called the day of Atonement will be celebrated, commencing on Friday eve and continuing till sundown on Saturday. This, we believe, is the most solemn holiday of the Jewish ritual, and is strictly observed by all members of the church. It is a sucred fast-day, and is devoted exclusively to religious services. All busi- , ness is suspended, even the most common household duties being dispensed with. Captured.—The Indian, Tomas, who lately escaped from jail, has been captured and returned to his cell, through the exertions of deputy sheriff W. C. Warren. Tomas has been a troublesome customer, having twice escaped from custody; he is said to be a terror to his own people ; from which, however, they will soon be relieved by the execution of the penalty of the law—his crime having been, the murder of his wife and children. Mr. Warren deserves great credit for his exertious in this case. There has been a great time generally at the Pimos Villages lately, on the occasion of distributing among the Indians the presents sent to them by their Great Father, Congress having voted a sum of $10,000 dollars for their benefit. The presents consisted of all the luxuries of Indian life, beads, blankets and tobacco—and some euperfiuities, such as agricultural implements, axes, &c. — The necessaries of "gorgeous uniforms" for the . chiefs and sub-chiefs, were not forgotten. Estate of Mr. Broderick.—David C.Colton has presented a petition to the Probata Court of San Francisco, praying to be appointed administrator to the estate of Mr. Broderick, with the consent of the heirs at law, Edmund Welch and Lucy Brown ; and also of the creditors, who are Messrs. A. J. McCabe, Geo. W. Green, A. A. Selover, John A. McGlynn, A. J. Butler, }Aristides Welch, and Edward Field The estate is estimated at about $130,000, consisting of real estate in San Francisco, and is encumbered by mortgages to the amount of $85,000. W. W. Cope has been appointed by Gov. Weller, as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge ' Terry. Mr. Cope has taken his seat on the Bench. Judge Terry has been released on bail of $10,000, to answer a complaint for fighting a duel, contrary to the laws of the State. A meeting has been held in Musical Hall, San Francisco, for the purpose of considering the best i means of erecting a suitable monument to the mem- 1 ory ot Senator Broderick. "The Mountaineer" is the name of a paper just 1 started at Salt Luke city, the first number of which J reached us this week. It is a large, well printed i paper, and is not to be sectarian in charccter, although the proprietors, Messrs. Ferguson k Co., ] are, we believe, church members. , On Monday next, the officers elect will be installed in their offices. 1
