nev. u. Lievy last evening preached a sermon on "Channooh, the Glorious Feast of the Maccabees." The seven branched candelabra, (Menorah), with its white candlea burning, stood before the pnlpit while Kev. Lievy was recalling the mighty deeds of the Maccabees, commemorated by the lights. His text was Isaiah Ix i 1 "Arise, shine; for thy light is come." The Chenuooh, or Maeoabean festival, said Rev.

G. Levy, commemorates one of the most important events of Jewish his tory the victory of the Jewish faith over the power of heathenism, achieved by Mathathias, the Hasmonean, aad his five heroio sons in their battles against the Syrian king. The 2Sth day of Kislev (corresponding to the 26th day of December in the Roman calendar,) originally celebrated throughout the East as the birthday of the new sun, was henceforth rendered by the Jewish people the anniversary of the pure light of Jewish Monotheism over pagan darkness.

A pair of horses attached to a covered market wagon became anmanageable, through the mudlin condition of the driver, it is said. aad before they were stopped the wagon had been wrecked.

The un paralleled Jewish martyrdom stamped both the Jewish taitb and the Jewish race with the seal of immortal life. The Chanucoh light, then, stands for Israel's word illnmin ating truth, for its soul cheering faith tor its Drignt, all em Dracing nope. EMBLEMATIC Or JUDAISM. Originally the Jewish houses were on these days illuminated, from within and without, by numerous lights and flaming torches. exDressive ot iov and jubilee, but owing to constant troubles and persecutions the illumination was reduced to oil lamps and wax candles lighted only within the domestic circle.

Even the important event which caused the festivity was forgotten by the rabbis and reduced to the miraculous let end of a cruse of sacred oil. soared during the Syrian invasion of the temple tor lurtber use. And Denoid now tnsig. nificant is the Chanucoh light in the various Jewish households where it is still lit, not to speak of the more numerous bouses in which this great festival of light it hardly remembered any more, compared with the brilliancy of its much younger Christian compeer, toe unriatian iigat The Jewish Chanucoh light shows its humble origin in the dark, narrow home circle in which alone the mediaeval Jew felt happy and contented among the members of his household, in his abode of rare virtue and blias. In its modest garb it repre sents the Jew's unswerving faith, unfaltering hope and inexhaustible treasury of comfort.

It reminds us of the wondrous old cruse, which nourished the Jewish mind with world enlisbtening truths, which made the Jews a people of thinkers and scholars in ages wrapped darkness and barbarity. It is a perfect emblem of the Jews' ever burning lamp ol light during the long night of eighteen centuries. JUDAISM TO BE A LIGHT FOR THE NATIONS.

An Attempt to Sim a Writ KImumi lev tlautr With Vigorous llsslitmnos. n.iu ssswws a.Kuv tm la Which Christian H. Rohrer issued a writ tore" cover possession of a bouse and tour acres of land, in Manor township, Lancaster eoanty, he hsd bought at a sheriff's sale from Miehael Yake. Mrs. Yake claims that the property is heis, although she failed to set up this claim before judgment in ejectment was recovered against her Deputy Sheriff Christ.

H. Armstrong went out to Masonville yesterday afternoon to serve tbis writ, and bad a very rough time of it. The Yakes caught light of him before he reached the houte, and looked the door, refusing to admit him. He very promptly kicked the door onen. but bad scarcely started to read the writ, empowering him to take possession of tne premises, to micnaei i aae oeiore sirs.

Take struck at him with a chair. Mr. Armstrocir saw the attempt in time to ward off the blow, and then oaught hold of her to put her out of the house, when her sou, a vigorous young man, picked up a poker and with an oath attacked the deputy sheriff, striking him a very severe blow on tbe back of bis bead. Mr. Arm strong is, fortunately, a very strong and active man, and, though somewhat dated by the blow, he turned around, Srappled with his assailant, and threw im back upon the coal box.

While engaged in this tussle the Deputy heard a scream behind bim, ana turned around, as soon as free, to ascertain the trouble. Mrs. Yake had picked up a kettle of boiling wa ter, intending moat likely to use it upon the officer, but, luckily for the latter, she struck it against something and spilled the entire contents over herself, scalding herself very severely. Bat Christ 't troubles were not yet over, as young Yake jumped up and attacked him again, but was promptly knocked down by the athletic official. Michael Yake finally interfered and succeeded in quieting his combative spouse and son.

Armstrong then began putting the furniture out of the house, but every Tittle while Mrs. Yake would catch hold of some article and resist the attempt to remove it. All her efforts were in vain, however, and the furniture was stood along the roadside, as defendants had no home to which they could take it. A man was left in possession of tbe house as Mr. Rohrer's represen tative, and tbe deputy left, after giving the parties a good lecture.

Though Mr. Armstrong's bead Is some what sore to day from the severe rap he re ceived, he says that he will leave the whole matter in the hands of Sheriff Burkholder, who may prosecute the parties for resisting an officer and for assault and battery or not, just as he sees fit, as personally he bears the parties si malice and it not afraid of them.
