in another column of this days paper, the people

sauce, chickens and other things of that kind,

giving day, which, in some parts of the coun-
try is the greatest day in the year, but which,
as general thing, is sadly neglected in this

the people, that all the States in the Union
should have the same day of thanksgiving, can
not be gratifed. Ii is great pity. There is
hardly newspaper in the country that has not
written on this subject for three or four years
past, and yet we can only see twenty-three or
