THANKsGivlNG DAr.-Among our citizens
generally the day Va well observed. Most
places Of business were closed and the pla-
ces Of worship were we'll attended; and, if
We mistake not, the good old custom Of
mingling thankfullness and feasting togeth-
cr was not disregarded. The weather was
delightful, and many were the happy re-
unions Of family and friends al over the
country, such as we trust will many times
recur.
We did our best to be thankful all day,
and think we succeeded pretty well. We
waited as long as prudent for some Of our
admiring farmer friends TO beg us to accept
15-pound turkey" but unfortunately our
admirers are not begging this year. Turkeys
are 16 cents per pound. When they were
seven cents, either we wcrc, more highly ap-
preciated else turkeys were less thought Of
can't tell which. Before giving up the
idea, VIC partially made > dicker with
brother editor who hadn't been the subj ect
Of foul treatment; we to present him with
turkey and he to return the compliment,
Then each could write sn item thanking ths
benevolent farmer friend, IN the most cor
dial style, and the matter would oil pass of
as bona fide transaction just like some
sword presentations, a u misitaire. But
the other editor thought that we might get
the best end Of the bargain, and backed out.
So We went and bought turkey, on suppos-
ed credit, and enjoyed our dinner just As well
as if some one had accidentally made up his
mind that editors never rcgale themselves
upon roast FOUL unlcssl the Same be given
to them-and upon the strength Of that
conviction had presented us with the tough
est old veteran gobbler in his yard.
P.S. We don't cast any reflections upon
any one, at all-except the other editor fel-
low, who intimated that possibly we might
cl,isel him in swapping turkeys. When We
catch somebody up before Squire Wheeler,
charged with invading the sanctity Of some
! neighbours hen house, (the roosting-polc Of
.. sich was fixed down at convenient reach
inc ''stance the day prcvious,) we shall
take our >ven9e.

skating park as one could wish for. For
day or two, boys and girls, young men and

put an end to that fun, and skates may be

the year past, and found its former facilities,
though extensive, quite inadequate to the
business Of the line. A dozen or two more
Of freight cars would be great blessing to
the road.

ment the particulars Of several successful boat
expeditions from the United States barque j. L.
Darts, Acting Master WIN. Gdswold, command
ing on the station at Tampa Bay.
The first was made on the llth Of July, and re-
suited in the destruction of some salt works be
longing 10 strong secessionists Of Tampa, Messrs
Haywood and Carter.
The second was made on the 10th Of July to
the factory of another strong Rebel named
McCloud, which was also destroyed.
The third expedition was made on the ID, Sd,
and 4th Of August, by the tender schooner Stone
icaH, attached to ;hc barque Darts, and COM
mandcd by Acting Master Henry d. Carter, with
his gigs crew Of six men, proceeding up the
Manitu river to the town Of the same name, and
a large saw and grist MILL with its steam engine
and fixtures, was completely destroyed.
Learning here that about three miles up the
river was a sugar mill belonging to jeff. Davis, the
party assembled the river, and found an establish
ment which made last year over 1900 hogsheads
of sugar, of which two-thirds was sold to the
Rebel Commissary Department.
After breaking as much Of the machinery as
possible, loaded shell were placed in various parts
of the engine, and the building was fired and
soon totally destroyed.
The expedition, without loss of life or limb,
shows a very commendable spirit on the part of
the officers and men. The conduct of Acting
Master Carter is particularly spoken of as highly
creditable and pleasing.
