'Dover Hebrew Congregation. - Mr. J.S. Spero, of Maison Dieu Road, writes to us to complain that there is no service in the synagogue on Friday evenings and often Minyan on Sabbath mornings, and that the reasonable wishes of the members are ignored, their just demands set aside and all suggestions simply laughed at. Mr. Spero is of opinion, that unless the Religious Union, the Federation, or Dr. Adler will take the matter in hand, some of the Dover Jews will be known as such by name only, but not by  observation'.
