in our usually busting village, many Of
the business houses were closed at least
part Of the day; and every body seemed
anxious to enjoy the holiday. There
vas service in the several houses Of wor-
ship, which was well attended. Some
doubtless went because requested by Mr..
Lincoln and Gov Morton, while others
went in obedience to time honored GUS
tom, and others still because they had
nothing else to do and wanted to see and
be seem Some perhaps desired as in du-
ty bound to render thanks for the great
benefits they had received in the shape of
government patronage. while others with
nothing in this respect to be thankful for,
intended only to ''humiliatc themselves in
the dust and bewail their manifold fail
ures in their attempts to secure the favor

doubtless, were impelled by sense of du-
ty and felt that amidst all the evils, sor-

yet many, very many blessings to be
thankful for.
