The Rev. S. E. Cohen
Noot was lately re-elected Hazan of the Congregation Beth Israel
of Philadelphia, for three years.
St.
Thomas.—A letter from our correspondent says: "I am happy
to say that our congregation is going on as well as I could wish; we are
all at peace. Mr. Carillon is doing wonders with his Hebrew School,
which counts sixty-eight scholars,—the Sunday School eighty-nine.
Our infant school is established and promises well: thirty-two
pupils are already in it.
Jews
in Hungary.—The latest accounts from Europe bring the
gratifying intelligence that in one country at least there is a marked
progress of liberality and justice, and this is precisely constitutional
Hungary. The news is brief but quite satisfactory, and states: "The
General Diet of Hungary has adopted by a majority of 41 votes against 8,
a motion for the emancipation of the Jews." We trust to receive
before long the particulars through the European Jewish publications,
when we shall lay the most interesting portions before our readers. |
