Thanksgiving Day. Thursday last, the day
recommended by the Governor Of Maryland
as day Of thanksgiving and praise, was Oh
served throughout the city. The shops and
stores were closed, mechanics and artisans
rested from their abors, and business of every
kind was suspended. Divine services were
er 'ormed in all the churches Of every demo-
mination, and with the exception of little
conviviality, the day wore an appearance not
unlike that of the Christian Sabbath. Early
in the forenoon the sky assumed lowering
aspect, but as the day advanced the sun shone
out clear and bright; the air, however, was
quite cool, 50 much SO as to re nder overCoats
and cloaks indispensably necessary to bodily
comfort. People generally, however spent
the day either in religious exercises or innocent
amusenents. All things considered we have
no cause for complaint, but have reason to re-
member the ncdeHts of Thanksgiving Day.
