for O season their harmony While nature
decays and withers, the harvest is lodged in
the granary and plenty crowns the board
While all is sere without the joyous intercourse
of tried friends makes all green and fresh within
Thanksgiving was observed by many of our
citizens yesterday in a domestic way. There
were no public observances, save worship in
several Of the churches in the morning and a
pleasant ball at Frisbie's in the evening But
by many families the day was kept in the
spirit Of the good olden time The hotels and
restaurants also treated their customers to
chicken fxings, &c.
na- BEST ROAD TO DowNIEv1LLB AND OTHER
NORTHERN MINES" is pointed out by sign
board at the junction of Main and Commercial
streets. The direction is certainly believed to
be correct if the amount of travel going over
the road at present is an indication. We
observed On Monday train of twelve we'll
packed mules leaving for the northern towns at
one time over that read. In conversation with
gentleman day or two since, dealer in
stoves, he informed US that he should have sold
two stoves from Minnesota that day if the South
Yuba bridge was finished. The bridge is fast
being constructed. 4 new era is dawning in
our city, and another year we shall have the
whole trade Of the north. Regions that have
heretofore been entirely out of our range are
coming here to buy their goods
MOUNTAIN GRANITE. the brick building
Of c. Mulford, over the doors and windows we
observe some fine grained granite taken about
half a mile from town up the creek. 1t will
compare favorably with the celebrated Quincy
granite. A competent workman in the article
assures US he knows Of lodges OF granite in this
immediate noighborhood, where blocks may be
split out fifty feet in length, perfectly straight
and true The grain of the rock may be seen
on The surface, and line drawn on the grain
would not vary quarter Of an inch in dis
tance Of fifty feet. This article will be a great
and profitable staple ofcommerce in this region
when the projected rail road is completed
EaH Immense quantities ofgoods of all kinds
have arrived in this city the past week Thirty
heavily loaded teams passed up Broad street
alone, On Tuesday. We believe our merchants
are taking the right course in laying in heavy
stocks. We have been informed in San Fran
cisco that the credit Of our Nevada merchants
is better in that city than those of any other
portion Of the State They have a reputation
for prompt payments. We presume one reason
OF this is that they deal mostly for cash with
their own customers.

DONALD MCKAY, the builder of the "Great
Republic " and other monster ships, is about
building another of still more immense proper
tons. He has originated and designs to pSove
q theory that ship can be built so large that
the highest waves will not affect her motion, but

as river boat during brisk wind. Mr. Nc
Kay is good illustration of what an iron will
can accomplish. We well remember his first
essay at building as a sub-contractor, poor
man and foreigner. He failed because he did
not himself possess merit as workman hnt no
other man could judge better of what Others
dM. But by perseverance he has already gone
beyond all other builders in the United States,
and for the kind Of ships he builds, Of the world

day. We learn that he serves up such and
other good things at his popular restaurant.
