EXTRACT FROM BEECnER.

The following is the closing portion of
Henry Ward Beecl er's Thanksgiving Ser
mon. After demons rating that England
and France were not in position to interfere
with US by reason OF the condition iu which
God had provdentially placed them Eeg-
land being more in need Of corn than cot
ton. and France having found it necessary
to curtail her army and exp nses--bs closed
by snyiug:
1--WE have sealed 5 900 miles pf. coas ;
xc have shut tie breathing holes; and now
lwe are putting in the red hot torch OF war
at the upper end. and in a short time |
think the rebellion will be unearthed. Gad
has poured money into hand; Col has
taken away cotton from Eoglsnd, and lie
holds France in His right hand. Sweep
round the ring. Stand of, spectators.-
Now let this gigantic universs understand
tha, it is liberty and God, slavery and the
devil. No man put hand or foot into that
ring until they battle unto death. Amen.
Even so, Lord God Almighty, 1t is Thy de-
cree, it is Thy parpo-e; and when the vic
.ory shall GENE. not unto u. not unto US ,bus
in the voice OF Christ, ten thousand ransom
ed ones mngle with al thy children's glad
ness. Unto Thee be the praise and the glory
forever. Amen.

"Quite . ludicrous scene trsuspired id
the camp Of the Michigan Sixth yesterday,
in which our Brigadier General played a

was treating himself to an airing IN his car

with u turkey in bis hand. The General
stopped him, inquired where he belonged,
and was particularly anxlous' to know all
about the turkey. The soldier told him he
had purchased it, and the General drove Of

heavily on.his mind. He could not imagine

making the rounds with the company of,

with astonisbment At first, but finally the
General was startled by the gobbIipg of .

look for the offender, when another clever

calls, COCK n. duo die docs, the Kissing VI

General beat ,e.reat, and on going out
Of the gate, found pole erected, on which

which had recently been brought on from
Psrryville, aud looked a. il they had been
hardly used by the way. They were ex-
ceed,ngly meagre, gaunt rs grey hounds, and
manifestly very hungry, yet, though there
was hay before them, they refused to eat
On examining their feeding troughs it was

who are acquainted with the proper mod
of taking care OF horses know that il this be
not done, the refuse lef, in the troughs be-
comes musty and sour, and coIrupts and
spois the hay that is added. Unless this
negligence be remedied the horses will not
be st for ssvice, and, 10 all probability.
many Of them will become diseased and
die.
A,Perryvile there were between three
