Yesterday vas very generally observed in the
usual manner, as day of Thanksgiving, through

was clear, cold and bracing. During the morn
ing aud for day or two previous thousands Of
persons left the City for different parts OF the
neiehboIing country, to join in the annual family
reunion peculiar to these occasions. The Princi-
pal current of this travel set eastward-the sons
of New. England, as usual, payiug marked re-
spect to this day, as q mark of esteem for their
fathers. In this City business was generally SUE
pended and the day passed of quietly and in
a happy manner. We have given reports Of

THE HOME OF THE FRIENpLHss


This institution, which is situated in East Tbir-
tieth st.. between Broadway and the Fourth sv.,
was visited by a great number of persons during
Thanksgiving day and evening. Donations had been
received amounting to nearly $500 in money, and
large quantity of articles Of provisions clothing, etc
We learned on inquiry, that the affairs Of the society
were in very prosperous condition. and certainly
the appearance, both Of the Home and its inmates,
was Of character to do honor to the patrons and
directors Of the institution. There are at present
about seventy children and twenty adults inmates
Of the Home, for whom every provision both as 10
ga ds comfort and cleanliness, has been made. Par
tcusr attention has been paid TO the thorough ven
tation of all the apartments 10 fact there Is moth
irg which could be done to enhance the comfort of
such an institution, that has been LETT undone-
The exhibi ion which was given in the school room
last evening was numerously attended by ladies' and
gentlemen interested in the success OF the Home
lerment. The oo'-departments under the super
inten6ence of Miss Mary o. Lucas, assisted by one
of the inmates. The children we're remarkably neat
in their appearance, and displayed great deal OF In
teligence.
This exhibition passed OFF most successfully, and
seemed to give pleasure to the Children, at the same
time that displayed the progress which they had
mace since entering the Home. The Thankssing din-
FER of the children take, place to day. and judging
hom the multitude Of luscious turkies aud gigantic
buildings which have been already sent in the little
ones will enjoy their holiday, far ~ it has been in
tie power Of the truly charitable TO enable them to
do so.
