THANKSGIVING DAY opens upon us with q
mild, but wet, drizzing atmosphere, with mud
and slosh enough to discourage pcdestrianism.
ana outdoor enjoyments, but which is well
calculated to enhance and make more relisha-
BILE the social en!oyments of the household.
The places of business are mostly closed and q
sabbath-stilness pervades the village, favorable
to the exercise of the better feelings, that rise
in grateful devotion to Him who crowns our
day with goodness and mercy, spreads our
board with plenty, and surrounds our fresides
with health and happiness. As Thursday is no
DAY OF leisure for us, its hours are apportioncd
to the tripod, the temple and the social circle
and the TELEGRAPH will probably 20 over to
FRIDAY morning, incommodng again our
overland" subscribers, who depend upon the
early Friday mail for their weekly news. The
necessities of the case will, we doubt not be a
sufficient apology. The bell calls to the house
ofworsli.,, ,, and we hasten to obey the summons
after Dinner.-The attendance at the union
service was very good, considering the disagree
able nature of the weather and travelling. The
exercises, in the absence from town of Mr.. VIII
son, of the Methodist Church, were conducted
by the pastor, Mr.. MoGtFFERr, aud Mr.. TUT
HILL, ofthe Congregational church. The pray
CT was by the latter, and the sermon, as here
tofore stated, by the pastor of the Presbyterian
church Thanksgiving sermons are come to
be expected to be free and outspoken and to
reflect the political and moral soundness of the
preacher. The effort of to-day did not dsap-
point that expectation. In scope, balance and
finish, 1t was a most creditable performance.
Its fnilness, frankness and fidelity upon the is
sues OF the day, was manly and refreshing. To
hear pulpit so long muzzed, giving forth such
utterances, quickened the pulse of every patri
otic heart present. ltwas no doubt felt to be a
cause OF thankfuness, that after so long a time
the desk of the Presbyterian church is purred
and unmuzzled-a witness for humanity and
lnparuai justice. The music under the lead
of Mr. MANsFIELD, could not be otherwise than
good. ....l b. ~. III
