Last evening began the holiest of Hebrew holidays, namely the Great Day of Atonement, or, as it is known in the calendar, Yom Kippur. The fast continues until this evening, and will be very generally observed in all the synagogues by the Jews, and the time spent in services of a devotional character by all the branches of the Hebrew Church. In this city the day will be observed by every member of the Jewish communion above 13 years of age, and to give entire attention to this all places of business will be closed.
