THANKSGIVING AT the American
Hotel and Hotel de France, by invi-
tation of the spirited host, Mr.. Field,
with a select company of twenty, we
sat down to social repast on Thanks
giving Day. The table groaned be-
meath the weight of all the luxurics of
a California market-the wines were
of the best flavor, and song and senti-
mcnt, patriotic and social gave wings
to the hours. After the substantials
had received due justice from the
guests, the worthy mayor of the city
was called to the chair, and opened the
intellectual feast by some appropriate
remarks. He was followed in quick
succession by other speakers.
"Our forefathers," "Our friends at
home," "Republican institutions, the
hope of the world, may they extend"
"The press" etc, were toasted with
much fervor. "The Star spangled
Banner" "America," the "Marsel-
laise," and "Girondin," were sung
with much taste by persons present.
In every respect the occasion was
most pleasant; and will long be cher
ished in memory as one of those sunny
spots which give life half its beauty.

that quite "snow storm " occurred in

considered as equaed by the number of foreigners
passing into Canada after landing atNew York; many
having been drawn thither by the opportunities of
ployment afforded by there public works of the pro

immigration took place in the latter half OF the de-
