We tru,t that, in spite Of the bard times, our
readers may be able to ca. their Thanksgiving din
GERS TO- day in the true spirit Of that ancient aui
fine honored institution. The occasion is GER
tany one well calculated to inspire reverentid feel
ipss, to abste any undue estimate of human wisdom
and ssgacity, and to induce strong sentiment OF
q power above US that shapes our ends, rough hw
them how we will.
The great charm of Thanksgiving Day, accord
iDg to the orthodox New England usage, which
must be looked to as authority in this matter, is in
the drawing together of the separated fragments OF
families and the Tightening Of those botds Of aa'c
zion BY which friends are bound to each other. Ii
IT, after all in these tender relations ha. the great
charm Of life consists. So long as We find OUT
selves in tie midst Of loving fr ends, little more
or less Of mere material prosperity cannot make 8,
much difference.

AT our great weekly market Of Beef Cattle the
last two market days, we have had only about
seventeen hundred head each day, and those mostly
frcm this State, which is thousand head less than
the usual supply at this season. and this has given
the drovers aud cattle-brokers an opportunity to
advance the price up from the point to which it
had falen-so that the most Of the cattle rated as
good, fre, retail ing beef, sOd yesterday at prices
equivalent 10 % ard 10 ceuts pound for the meat;
and cattle Of a somewhat extra quality sold at 100
and / cents; and on the whole the market sho we'd
slight advance upon the rates a week previous,
particularly for fret class cattle, which we're not
present in numbers equal to the demand. This. it
will be seen, by reference to eur market reports,
was mainly owing to the great advance of railway
freight which has nearly stopped tue rocsp t of
cattle from the Wet. How far this advance of
freight ard enhancing the prcs OF mat can be
justified by the ralrosd Off GERS, or will be approved
Ct by the people, remsins to be see1. Drovers say
that nothing bat an advance in the price OF beef
will enable them to pay the advance Of feesht, aud
that ii is this increase of expense that has kept

A MURDERER ATTENDS THE FUNERAL OF
HIS VIcTlm.-The Kinderhook Rough Notes,
abiding to the funeral of the late Mrs. Tur-
ner, who was murdered by her husband in
that village, last Monday, says that the MUIR
derer was present among the mourners, and
that the only time he evinced any feeling,
was just before the funeral, when grand
child went up to him sobbing as if her heart
would break and kissed him. This seemed
to touch his heart, and he gave vent to flow
of tears. At the grave the same child ap.
preached and asked him if he was not sorry.
He replied that he was, but it was now too
late. This is the only instance on record
where the murderer attended the funeral Of
his victim as one of the mourners.

NESA SAHIB.-The India correspondents
of the English journals have killed off this
terrible fellow two or three times of late,-
but, somehow or other, cat-like, he will not
stay killed. At one time he had committed
suicide,-at another he had been annihlated
by a spent ball,-and now, in connection with
his threatened march to Calcutta,-the story
is that the great Sepoy has engaged the SER
vices Of body guard, to deprive him of life
should he be likely to be made prisoner by
the English. Gammon,-no doubt. When
such monster as Nena resolves to give up
the ghost,-depend upon it, he will sell his
life as dearly as possible,-not throwing il
away thus for nothing. He may have resolved
not to be taken aive,-but when he dies
mark lit will be doing bloody execution on
his enemy.

REDUCTION IN PRIoEs.-The chief alleviatioo
of the present financial difficulties is to be-
found in the fall of prices now going on, and
must continue until the necessities Of life
reach proper level Of cost. The inflated
charges made for all such articles. for several
years past, have been symptoms of the dis.
ease, not the health of pecuniary affairs
which has just reached the crisis. They have
compelled persons in our cities, in great num-
bers to incur expenditures beyond their
means; and it has been a struggle with very
many, not merely to keep up appearances but
to subsist in comfort. The condition of things
will be much more healthy as these prices 60
down. To persons in moderate circumstances,
and to the poor, the blessing of change in
this respect will be incalculabls. Recent
prices have been founded on no permanent
reasons. but were spasmodic and unnatural,
and the idea ought to be sedulously contem.
plated and insisted upon of general reduce
tion, to last far beyond the severity Of the
present pinch.

their trainers soon follow. So much as 10
faishoods of You. As to falsehoods to you
and as to every tale the most remotely pre-
judicial to another, treat it and the narrator
with the utmost possible indifference, until
you hear the other party; this is only just,
wise and kind.

churches must come down-bread must come

lines must come down, notwithstanding the
awful letting down in dry goods. Every lux

perhaps, lager beer, which will probably re-
main at four. five and six cent? Q mug.

FALL IN FSERY.-The monetary panic
will seriously effect dealers in fnery and lux
ures. A dry goods jobber of this city in
formed us the other day that goods could be
purchased from importers in New York now
at 33 cents on the dollar. The N. Y. Herald
of the I4th says:
Already have the retailers in our city of
silks and fancy goods, reduced their price
thirty.three per cent. on rates that were es-
tablished few weeks ago, and their example
must be followed all over the country. The
same result has attended trade in groceries
and oil articles that depend upon the great
mass of consumers, including that in provis-
ions. This has been done partly from the de.
sire to raise money but it has also been
caused in part by the wish to force off the
large stocks of all kinds of goods that have
accumulated in our warehouses. While no
branch of trade is understocked, there are
now lying in our Custom House stores i'm.
ported goods to the value Of thirty millions
of dollars. Ir

The Chemical Bank is the only one Of thu
three score banks Of the city of New York

A HAPPY MANA retired merchant"

Express, discussing, with great GOODNESS, the
causes Of the financial troubles. He coaes

"Twelve years ago, retired on snug
farm in the country, and every year my fields
look greener, and feel younger as ] grow
older. This would rrcomend to all before
The loss of property and a shattered constita-
ton make it too late" This is n pleasan,

DEnooRAcY IN KAssAs.-The Lyuchburg
Republican (democratic) touches up the De-
mocracy Of Kansas--those patriots who have
been 30 profuse in professions Of regard for
the South-after this wise.
"For ourselves, we are grati6ed at the de-
feat Of the national democracy in Kansas
It is n debauched set--made up In most part
OF political and personal rasea!s and knaves.
Ransom is not one whit better than Parrott.
Both are Black Republicans in principle II
not in name and profession. The idea Of a
pro-slavery party. running an anti-slavery can.
didate for Congress, in order to mako Kan
sas a slave State, was nothing but mookery
and insult. II could deceive no one. 1t was
the result Of base betrayal Of the cause OF
the South in Kansas, and its authors have
gotten the just reward Of their treachery.-
We have an utter and indispensable contempt
for such Democracy, and cannot conceal it,"
II is both rare and refreshing to find De-
mocratic paper South placing a proper esti-
mate upon tho nationality Of It's party In the
Free Dirt country.
