Thanksgiving Day was pretty generally
observed throughout the city. Most of
the banking houses, and many Of the prin-
cipal business establishments remained
closed, and the aspect Of the town was
similar 10 that of the Sabbath day. Di-
vine service was performed in several of
the churches, and the attendance of wor-
shippers was large. One portion of the
community passed the hours in social visit
ing, while another killed care by enjoying
themselves in the thousand and one ways
that present themselves for the opportunity
of devil-may-care people. The principal
restaurants and hotels were distinguished
by the sumptuous dinners spread out upon
their tables for the qualification of the ep-
icurean appetite, and the plentitude Of
turkey was so striking that the question
arose, "Have we turkey among us ?"--
We suspect that many poof goose suf.
fered decapitation for the occasion, with
the understanding that he was to be dig
nifed into Thanksgiving Turkey.-Ledqer.

we sometimes think the advertisements
the most interesting part of a paper, and
for curious hap-hasard reading, greatly
prefer the suppliment of the London Times

accomplishment of every wish, from the
most positive necessity of life to the reali-

even children az choir, if you like to adopt

Inerplicable Peculiarly of Indian Cus-
toms.-A gentleman whose widely exten>
ded perigrinations throughout this State,
and the adjacent territory, in the course of
which he has frequently come in contact
with various tribes Of Indians, including
those called diggers, and marked with an
curious and speculative eye many of the
customs and habits peculiar tc them hav-
ing had his attention drawn to this subject
by some recent articles in the Journal, in
forms us that the diggers have custom of
observing one habit or custom annually, the
origin or objects of which seem entirely in
explicable. He says all sections of the Dig
ger Indians, have the most rigid idea of fe-
male chastity, and that female found
guilty of any violation thereof, is frequent
| ly subjected to as severe punishment as
death. He himself is acquainted with
many instances, where fine, well formed
athletic white men stimulated by curiosity
and disposition to test the truth of this
statement, have brought all their blandish-
ment of gold and personal influence the
former the strongest possible temptation to
them-to bear upon some squalid filthy
female of the digger tribe, without effect;
ard yet certain season a whole tribe will
assemble, at selected locality-possibly
sacred to them-for the sole purpose of the
unrestrained indulgence of particular
passion, continuing for week or more.
These Indians are not polygamists and
adultery is the worst crime known to them,
and is in every case barbarously punished.
