TuANKsGIyINe. ~ The quality of the
thanksgiving, ycsteitlhy, may have been
first rate, but we douot think the quantity
came up,to the usual average in our cons
munity. ASA general thing business was
suspended. Trade, commerce aud finance
had poor show. Religious services were
appointed in several of the leading
churches, but they were attended by very
small audiences. The reverend gentlemen
who ollciated were Obliged to discourse to
a "beggaily account of empty boxes" 1t
seemed thattl people, regardless of official
proclamatiolis, preferred to spend the day
in some other way than going to church.
Still the event passed of pleasantly.
EyerythmSappeared to be quiet aud or
&derly. There werc mono of the disturban-
ices or riotons proceedings generally Incl
dent to holiday festivities. So far as we
know, the utmost pr0pricty and order pre-
Walled. Goodcheer was the order of the
day. and there were many pleasant re
unions around the well spread fmily
boards.
Artcrall. IL strikes us that this was the
most appropriate and rational way OF OBJ
serving a day which custom has made an
annual festival. While thankfuness and
gratitude to the Givcr of all Good should

Communities we haye never been able to
Fully comprehend the propriety Ola formal
thanksgiving in. compliance with official
5mandate. The custom had its origin in the
old-time fanaticism which has developed
itsclf in the present unhappy condition Of
our national affairs, and we do not see that
the people are lnueha to blame for disre-
tgarding its observance now. These views
may not be acceptable to every body, still
they are honestly expressed. Boz.

TnE Wool TRADE.-There is at present q
great Stagnation in the wool market. The
reasons given by the manufacturers of
WOODEN fabrics. for closing their mills, in so
many instances. are that the wool costs
more IN lis original state than the manu-
fictured goods sell for in the open market.
Commissions engross five per cent, cash
sales command discount of four per cent,
while the Government duty on the gross
amount Of sales is five per cent, Dye stufis
and oils are likewise heavily taxed. Labor
is high, and goods sold at the present time
command only about two-thirds of their
actual value. Although many of the fac
tories have already stopped working, the
glut of goods Is still felt to be excessive,
and other mills must inevitably follow the
course of events, and close up until the
dawn of better times.

THE TOBACCO CRoP.-A farmer in the
|neighborhOod of Franklin, Warren County,
writes TO the tobacco Leaf that not near the
same amount of tobacco was raised in the
Miami Valley this year that was last season,
the farmers having been discouraged by
the heavy tax, and low price Of the leaf in
putting out the usual quantity The crop
however is Of excellent quality. He says
that in Montgomery, Butler and Warren
Counties, where more tobacco Is produced
than in all the rest of the State, the farmers
paid more attention to the cultivation of
corn. barley and lax the past season and
he is Of the opinion that If the tax is not
modified materially, and the article of to-
bacoo does not become scarce In the market,
farmers will not devote their time or lands
to the cultivation of tobacco. Producers
will grow what will pay theA best. all
things considered whether it be grain or
