THANKSGIVING. = Thanksgiving Day
passed off very pleasantly III Manitowoc to
all, SO far as we have heard. OF course it
was a more pleasant occasion to some than
10 Others. as couple of paragraphs else
where will bear evidence. The Festival
given in the evening at the Williams
House by the ladies Of the First Presbyter-
ian Church was largely attended, and ev-
erything passed off happily. The net pro
ceeds of the entertainment, after paying
all expenses, were S2l.70. A large sur.
plus of good things were left over, how
ever, and committee of more than hun
dred Sunday School children was appointed
TO meet at the house of Mr.. JOINS, on
York street, on Saturday, and dispose OF
the same The committee did its duty eff
fectually.

The Late joseph n. Lyon.

We clip the following extract from the
very handsome and touching obituary no
tce of the late Joseph NJ. Lyon, principal
proprietor OF the Neaos, published In that
paper last Thursday morning
Mr.. Lyon came to Milwaukee from
Utica and joined the publication Of the
Netcs in September, 1852. He was bora
in England, but came to this country with
his family when child. While yet a boy
he was apprentced to the printing business
in Utica, and by industry aud tao. soon be-
came the proprietor of newspaper in that
city. Subsequently he purchased aud pub
l,hed the Daily OJsercer, tho leading
Democratic organ Of that section of New
Yolk, aud was several years postmaster at
Utica. he was esteemed there as 3
prompt, courteous and reliable business
man, and In accordance With that reputa-
ton he was at one time chosen as the can
didate of one wing OF the Democracy of
New York for the office of State TreasU
rer. He came to Milwaukee in the prime
Of his manhood and without blelnish up
on his name, and in the management Of the
busines. affairs Of this onice-a department
to which be was peculiarly adapted and
which he preferred-we have at all times
found him safe guide and a prudent
counsellor But few days since he was
at hi, usual place in the counting room,
tran,actiny the routine Of daily business
with that clear head and steady hand which
belonged to him in the palmiest days of bis
life. Nearly fifty years of age, a man OF
naturally refined tastes, regular habits and
pure instincts, none of them could have
dreamed that thi, proud, strong man was
the fate1 victim of sudden death
Many and bitter are the tears that will
be shed over the dust of joseph Nj. LYON
Long wi the memory of his life be cher
ished ty all who knew him and knew hun
we'll Scft fall the dead leaves of Novem
ber on his untimely glave-sweet his last
long slumber in Forest Homeland may
God forbid that the sacred light reftc ed
by the virtues and the labor of a long and
useful life should now be obscuIed by one
shadow on the record, or one unkindiy re-
proach upon his name.'

Recent advices from Buenos Ayres fully
relieve Mr.. Washburn, minister to Para>
quay, from the charges brought against
him. 1t seems that he had been deprived
OF all power to act in his capacity by the
tyrant Lopez, except by force, which was
not at his command. He was only allowed
to leave Paraguay after the most infamous
treatment from Lopez, through the fear of
that parsonage that further violence to
wards him would result 10 summary pun
ishment at the hands of the U. S. govern
ment. Several vessels of the U. S squad
ron have proceeded. up the Fara quay river
to effect tie release of the prisoners, which
it is thought the English and French
suuadrons have already accomplished.
