BRANDoN.-We learn from the Gazette
that lady in company with Mr.. Thompson,
Principal of the Newton Academy, was
thrown from a wagon in Brandon village,
while on their return home on Saturday
last, and quite severely, though not danger
ously injured.
A man from Bethel passed through Bran
don on Wednesday, on his way to Sudbury,
in pursuit of a fellow who had stolen a horse,
wagon and a lot of calf skins. The thief
had disposed of some Of the calf skins in
Pittsford.
Considerable thieving seems to have been
done in Brandon of late. A grain cradle,
jug, bush-scythe &c, were lately taken from

MIssoURI.-The Missouri Convention on
Tuesday declared the offices of Governor,
observation-disclosures and Secretary of State
vacant, and IN Wednesday Hamilton r.
Gamble was elected Provisional Governor A;
Willard 2. Hall, Lieutenant Governor ;
Mordecai Oliver, Secretary of State. These
officers were at onceanaugurated, amid gen.
eral rejoicing. The rebels in the Convention
were excused from voting, and entered a
protest of no consequence against its pro-
ceedings. Their attempt to break up the
body by factious discussion was a perfect
failure. Thus the patriots of Missouri take
the same stand as those of Western Virginia

the initiative is being taken for the fall cam

That Last Thanksgiving.

Il was the night before Thanksgiving.
The dense leadcn-hued clouds, that cove
red the heavens, seemed burdencd with
enow: the cold north wind whistled thro
thc crey:ces Of the stage, which was bear

cutting wind, or the joltings Of the coach,
aswe dashed along over the frozen ground,
for my thoughts We're with those aged
ones. who were waiting, before the sitting

How my heart beat as We passed the old
mill, looking dim in the dusky twilight
then came the school-house, aud the little
church, whose tall spire, pointing upward,
,lrausht to memory many who had wor-
SHIPPED with me there, but were now
enicviug an eternal Thanksgiving at the
right hand of the Father on high.
While busy with these thoughts, the
stage was brought up to our little brown
gate. and the next moment found me
before Il blazing wood fire, receiving the
cares.es Of the tenderest, trues, parents
that ever blessed a wayward child, How
their wrinkled faces bcamcI with the JOY

Let me pass lightly over the bright NOR

And that dinner, how shall describe

self in the turkeys, hams, pies and pud-
dincs under which the table bent. With
many tender words and kind wishes which
still linger around my heart. the feast
ended. All. it was the last Thanksgiv-
ing dinner we ever ate together. Before
the May violets came, my parents were
gathered to their fathers, and now the sere
and tangled grass of Nov. waves above
their heads. But my longing eyes turn
each succeeding year to the old roof-tree,
and l sigh for the happy time when We
shall greet each other on the everlasting

Panic i'm the south.

We do not generally place much
reliance in the reports Of panic, demor-
alization, assertion aid mutiny in the
rebel States and army but the fol-
lowing statements, taken from the
Philadelphia Press, processes to be
founded on Information from the South
and is probably true'to some extent,
though we fancy that extent is great
ly exaggerated. The Press says that
since last Monday a general panic has
taken pla c in the seeded STATES.
The preparations Of the Federal Gov
eminent to seize certain important
posts on the Southern coasts, are
among the chief reasons for this rap
idly increasing feeling
Davis and the confederate traitors
having failed in their demonstrations
upon Wash ngton, are now losing the
confidenc of the troops gathered be-
tween Richmond and the Federal cap
ital, and are daily attacked with the
utmost, bitterness by the people they
have seduced into their conspiracy.
1t is fact which events will soon
establish, that thousands noao IN the
rebel army are anxious to be taken
prisoners by the american army, IN
order that they may be rescued from
the fearful horrors under 2chich they
are SUITE fdng! Nothing prevents an
outburst in favor of the Union in
North Carolina, save the invasion of
that State by the South Carolina
troops and such men as Holden and
Morehead will undoubtedly speak out
against the traitors the moment they
feel strong enough to do so.
Every dollar of gold and silver is
caught up and hid away, and mer-
chants and sradesmeu only part with
their goods for the paper of the Con
federated Government, and of the
different State authorities, because
they are compelled to yield.
Let the people Of the loyal States
place the fullest confidence in the Ad-
ministrasion and the army under Gen
eral Mcclellan, They can afford to
wait. Every hour that we. delay the
blow upon treason strengthens the
good cause, and weakens the bad ore.

The Day Of Humiliation.

Tomorrow, Thursday, the day set
apart by the President as day of hu-
initiation, will be observed by all the re-
ligious denominations. The Preach
ers' Association of the NJ. T. Church
of Phila, have issued a circular to
the various congregations under their
charge. We make a few extracts:
eve need not say to a people
taught, as you have been, to acknowl-
edge God in all your ways, and ha-
bituated as you are to the exercises Of
prayer, that the intercessions Of the
Christian are the best support of the
labors of the patriot !; and that in the
resources of religion we shall find the
1rmness of faith and elevation of hope
which shall bear US braveIy and patti
emily through this struggle for the
peepetuation of the Constitution and
the Union.
1t is too common that national fast
days are but indifferently regarded ).
it is more lamentable. that the Church
sometimes shares this Indifference but
If, when borne on the tide of prospect
ty and cheered by the voice of peace
IN all our borders, we have closed our
gates against the God of the nation.
surely, now in the day of storm and
battle, we should not be slow TO call
upon his name Let us, then, as a
Christian people, suspending all secu-
lar business, assemble in our respec-
tive places of worship, at least once,
on that day, to offer fervent supplica-
lions to Almighty God, and so deport
ourselves throughout the day as to
make it emphatically what is designed
Ca day Of humiliation, prayer and
fasting"

On the 18th inst, at the residence of his father
Theodore servis, only son of Joseph Servis, of
this place, in the 18th year of his age.
The death of this estimabe youth has caused
sincere and ceep regret to many friends During
twelve weeks of lingering illness he bore his
suiferings with much submission Many pray
ers were offered up in his behalf God has an.
swered them, not as we had hoped in his recov-
cry, but in his removal from world of sorrow
and sin. His fond parents have been called to
resign him to that Saviour to whom he was ear
ly devo'ed. But they are not left to sorrow as
those without hope They have much to COM
fort them in the good fruits of their instruc-
tlons, and the promising traits which from child
hood he displayed
Dutiful to them, correct in his habits kind
and obliglng to all, he had largely secured the
esteem Of his acquaintance
with pleasure We recoliect his correct deport
ment in the Sabbath School, his diligence his
openness to good impressions and the fair prom
Use he gave Of usefulness, as he approached the
years of manhood
we trust that his example will not be lost
on his young associates, and that his death may
produce salutary impressions on their minds
which will not be effaced.

A Federal feet has been announced

the officers keep sharp look out for
these diabolical wretches. It is prob

committed all of the astounding crimes
which, during the past week, have be-
gun to ruin the good name Of our city.
A late letter from Norfolk states
that certain things cannot be bought
for love or money. Among these are
boots and shoes, especially for soldiers
and women-the price of common
shoe of either sort, whenever there
was pair on sale, being $40 to SIS.
