day was generally observed, though In
widely diverse manners. Services were

and friends collected around tho h,spitabls
board, heavily laden with rich and smoking
viands; and tho savery smell Of roast .ur-
keys. chicken pie and oysters assembled on
high from hundreds Of firesides. It would
be difficult to estimate. the number Of de-
ceased fowls Of tho field and cir whose

that afternoon. Happily for this branch
Of creation, Thanksgiving does not come
very often. The snow Of tho early par. OF
the week had made tolerabls sleighing.
which was we'll improved, and the streets
resounded with the merry music Of the
bells. Taken all in all, it was very
pleasan. and well-enjoy ed day.
RATHER MlxED.-We had desired to give
our readers tho full details of a rich case
which closed in Justices Court, in this
city, last week, but it would occupy too
much space. To be brief, Justice Of the
Peace At Richmond, named Lang, attempt
ca to put stop to Sabbath evening dane
ing. He accordingly, without any trial,
fined large party s. each for tho offense
He went to saloon kept by 8 man named
Kortl, where q lot Of his offenders were,
and informed them Of the fact, when he was
iucontinsntly kicked out by Kcr,i and Null
Ter. Lang then went to store to learn
Mullar's name, and found the latter there.
A scuffle ensued, ia which Ling received,
according to the testimony, "twenty-one'
wounds. Lang then brought suit before
Justice at Cold Spring, for assault and bat
terry; this was followed by Muller suing
Lang for thu same otfense before Rich
mond Justice, and the constable went TO,
Lang while tie latter was in the midst vi
his Cold Spring suit. The parties conpro-
missed on change of venue to this place, in
Muller's suit. The case finally came be-
fore Justice Richardson, aud resulted in
the acquittal Of Lang, the defendant. L
". Collins for Muller; Chas. D. Kerr for
L.ng--snd they know al the rest.
