combat between bull and bear. 80 far a.
We can lsarp, neither Of the animals sustained
any injury FIRST. because the bear bad no

THANKSGIVING SroRTs.-The ebservanc g
Of Thanksgiving in Baltimore was accompa-

This work was written twenty five years ago. by
Mrs Sarah Hale, and was designed to depict, in q
truthful manner, the character of Northern and
Southern people. 1t was Mrs Hale's first attempt
at literary production, and the favor with which
it was received, proved that it was, to some sx-
tent, successful. The present edition, revised and
corrected, is issued with a view of insting into
the mind of the reader, the proper ch aractsrisics
of our people, in their daily intercourse with each
other, and by removing false impressions % hich
may have gained foothold, to draw together more
closely the Gordon of States, wherever the eagle
and the stars keep guard" The scenes are well
drawn, ami the story Is interesting and although
Mrs Hale is not in our opinion, an authoress whose
name and fame will live through many generations,
she has given us plain unvsrnished tale, that will

SUNDAY Yesterday was of the farewell
days OF the mild and fascinating season of Indian
summer. The various noble churches of our city
were filled during the day with unusually large and
attentive congregations, the bland atmosphere and
cheerful sunlight drawing forth the sedentary and
aing, and greatly contributing to the size of the
congregations. During the afternoon the streets
were thronged with lighthearted pronenaders,
and the entire aspect Of the day and the people
spoke moral enjoyment, peace and genuine pros
perity. The hallowed influences of the holy Sab
bath were blended with tie soothing golden rays of
the dying Indian summer, and the toiling masses
enjoyed sweet season of repose from the cares q
life and the anxieties of business.

DEAR You have, no doubt, seen
that the new English pattern boilers of this un
fortunate, though beautifully modelled rship,
have proven perfect failure in her run round
here from Baltimore and until they are sub.
stituted by another set, she cannot go TO Ja>
pan. So much for Jonathan running after
English patterns. We left Baltimore on We'd
nesday last in tow oftwo strong steamers, the
Georgia and Pocahonias. That night we got
hare aground, where we remained antil Thurs
day morning. Thursday evening we got in
deep water in Chesapeake Bay, and put on
steam on the engine, which worked beautiful.
~, but it was soon found the boilers couid not
supply the requisite amount OF steam for them.
Friday morning sail was put on her, and she
went like bird, but in rounding near Cane
Henry, the wind blew stiff ahead, and TO get up
10 Norfolk with our poor steam power, not ha.
wing room 10 tack with our great draft, we had
to send down her top-gallanf yards, and short.
y after her top-gallant masts themselves.
Saturday morning, on our way no here. WE
got aground again. The ''Princeton's'' bn;,e,.
