For the past month Ve nus has been one of the most attractive objects in the heavens, making up in beau;y for what she has lacked of the in terest1 that just now attaches to her gigan tic rival .on account of the tremendous physical disturbances whose effects are visible on his diss. The finest views o VenuF, afcer she reached her greatest brightness a few weeks ago, were obtain ed in the daytime. With a perforated cap place i over the object glass, of the telescope to shut out the glare of the sun, she was seen on of blue sky like the background a - delicate sil larger than the the naked ey e. ver crescent, much new moon appears to Saturn i now rises early enough to be well seen with the telescope long before midnight, and the gradual opening out of his wonderful . rings will be one of the most interesting sights in the heavens for three or four years to come. Mars comes up later, but he is growing in bright ness. His two little moons are beyond the reach of small telecopes, but the snow fields about his poles and the out lines of his continents and oceans are not, and a more interesting and wonderful sight than this earth-like planet presects in a telescope bearing magnifying powers of 250 or 300 diameters cannot well be imagined.

The whole day, from the evening of yesterday to the evening of to-day, is spent in prayer and fasting. The enrollment of destinies is completed, and as perhaps the lot of some U death, Jthe prayers are unusually solemn and plaintive. On both these days it is customary to pray dressed in white vest ments. The Day of Atonement is the only one in the year when the Jews kneel. On this day they prostrate them selves several times. With regard to the day Leviticus (the 16 h chapter) says: Aud it snail be unto you a statute for ever. In the seventh month, the tenth lay shall you afflict yourselves, ai.dno work shall ye do, whether it be- one of your own country or the stranger that sojourneth amongst you. For on that day shall be madc an atonement to cleanse you from all your sins. Before the Lord shall ye be clean. It shall be a Sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall , afflict yourselves as a statute forever." No Jew has ever failed to kejp this day. In a ons era of three thousand and three hundred years scarcely auy exceptions have been furnished to this rue. The weakest women last, au4 sometimes eveu youog children are made to take pirt in the general abstinence A,ll the Jewish places of business closed last-evening at sundowu and will not be re-opened 'ill the same hour tbis evening.

STbout 8 o'clock last evening the kitchen attached to the house of Mr Jeste Ives, o i the corner of Fifth and Bladen streets caught fire, which together with the dwelling house was completely destroyed The fire is uppostd to hav been caused by a defective flue.

Johd W. Gordon & Bro. i : Immediately after the fire described above, and when th different fira com paniea had barely had! time to I get back to their engine houses, another alarm" was sounded, caused by the burning of an old unoccupied one story house in the rear of a new dwelling being erected by j Capt James Williams, on Fourth, between Nun and Church streets. The building burn ed was of but little value, and was un doubtedly set on fire by an incendiary. Strangers in the city should not i fail to vitit. the b sh Factorv. toot of Walnut street. t The Fastest Time on Record. Once upon atime, within the memoiy of the oldest inhabitant, there came to this city two rural gentlemen in a dug out, or log canoe, for the pu. pose of laying in Chustmas supplies. TLeir purchases being concluded, the cargo put on boa"d and everything ready for departure, they could not leave the good bid town without taking several parting drinks, t in coisequence ol wliich night closed iu upon them before they embaiked. "Now to bur oa-s,' said one, "lorj we will have to pull against the tide." Never w s there such a strong cun rent, and they thought that there nevtr were so many floating logs in the river be fore, but they would not bo overcome with difficulties and , applied themselves manfully to their oars, stopping occasion ally to sip from the bottle. Just before daylight they thought they approachad their lauding. "Here we are at last," said one. 'But,by j;miny,"said the other, "there was not any houses here when we left." The broad light ol day showed them that they had forgottea to cast eff the line of their boat and that they were rowing in the Rock Spring dock the whole night A fact.

C, was married yesterday at the Wind sor Hotel to M". Charles E. Greenough, a son of Charles B. Greenough, of this city, who is widely known through his connec tion with the const taction of thestreet raiiroads of Brazil. The ceremony ,wbich took place at 1 o'clock, was performed by the Rev. Dr. Gallaudet, of St. Ann's Church. The contract kg parties weie both guests at the Windsor, son's tamily have for several Miss Daw- lyeais been in the habit of coming North in the spring and, after a summer at Saratoga, of sp?nd ing the eaily winter at this hotel. Mr. Greenough has been making his home there during the absence of his parents in Europe. The brid-j wore a dress of white satiujprofusely decorated with orange blof soins. Miss Wetmore, of New Yo;k, was her only 'biidesm aid. Mr. Albert Schultz was the j groom's best man, Th?re were about forty pe pie present at t-e ceremony and among them Commodore and Mrs! Dickinson, Miss Unlz, of Philadelphia; tfr.and Mrs. Bj'jamiu jBlar chard, Mis. Bixby, Mr. George CVcil, Mr. IItrhn Kerr, Mr. Thomas Lee, Mr. Fred Bremer and Dr. Ruppaner. A wedding-breakfatt and a dance followed the ceremony." Mr Greenough is said to be an accom plUhed gentleman, of high social pot fcion, and of great wealth. The bridal presents were numerous and very handsome, Mr Greenough having presented tis biide with diamonds to the value of $47 000. Turner's Almanac promised us wind and rain for to-day.
