partridges, brought from the country by tens

covey, or shot by the dozen, while huddied TO-
gether on the ground TO keep from freezing
Many of these birds were as poor MS skele-
tons, and none of them were fl to eat. The
Legislature ought TO make it felony TO trap
partridges at any time, for they are of inf
mite value to the farmer in removing bugs ana
yermin from the fields.

THANKSGIVING DAY IN BERLlN.-The 29jh
OF November was celebrated by the Americans
in Berlin. by dinner at the residence of NJ in
lister Wright. Our present troubles were the
subject ofa patriotic speech by the Minister
After the maintenance of the Union had
been advocated by several other gentlemen
with much native enthusiasm, Baron Won Hol-
zendorf rose to thank The American Minister
for the kindly feelings expressed in behalfof the
royal family and the growing unity of Father
land. The eloquent speaker, who had d
thorough command OF the English language,
then glanced at the general Bowie
knife" and Lynch law ideas attach
ing TO America 10 many parts OF the
Oid World. But was it not better TO
have to suffer from the occasional ebulli-
tions OF individual energy than from the last
ing pressure and perpetual interference of a
police system. (Here the Germans present,
mindful OF the revelations of the last few days
led the storm Of applause, in which the Yam
KEGS heartily joined) The Baron then thank
ed the Americans for having admitted great
number of German emjgrants 10 the full en-
ioyment OF political liberty-a boon which his
countrymen had not been able 10 secure in
South America, and especially Brazil. He
hoped that Germany would soon be formed
nto a union of States, upon the transatlantic
pattern, and concluded by proposing THE
health of the American Minister
Mr.. Hudson, the private secretary OF Mr..
w right offered a toast TO the Union as based
upon the Constitution. The maintenance of
that Constitution he said, was gnarant teed by
the devotion and patriotism of good men but,
should they fail ia the attainment Of their
end through the ordinary and legitimate
means, they would be entitled TO appeal to the
last resource of citizenship, which was the
first inalienahie prerogative OF all Americans,
namely-the right of revolution.
Is DIR. Won Tellkampf, member of the Prus-
sian House Of Lords, repeated the thanks OF
Herr Won HolZendorf for the wishes OF his
transatlantic friends in behalf of the unity OF
Germany. America had given the first prac-
teal proof Of the possibility OF Joining INTO
one common body States varying in size and
Constitution. A similar union must be real
lied in Germany, and that in spite OF the dis
like evinced against the plan by all the petty
princes of the land. At the conclusion OF the
dinner a large collection was made in behali
of the poor of this city. Towards the close OF
the evening the company promenaded round
the hall to the inspiriting strains OF Yankee
DoOdle.n
