BELLAIHE Noy. o, 1860.
Thanksgiving was generally observed
in our town, excepting however, the
liquor sellers, they, no doubt, acting
upon the idea that they are parties to
be thanked, and have nothing of them
selves to be thankful for.
Rev. Pearce delivered the Thanksgiv-
ing Sermon, which was mastery ef-
fort, and gave general satisfaction.
A rise ofabout eight feet i'll the river
and good prospect for more has an en-
livening effect upon those interested in
shipping By water, and no doubt re-
joices the consumers of coal in the towns
below where it was bringing enormous
prices already
Some idea of the heaIthiness of our
place can be formed from the following
fact; With population of five thou
sand, not counting the enyiions, we
have but five Physicians, and most of
the time three of them could do the
work and not be overburdened. We
nave had no epluemlc Ill the neighbor-
hood since 1856, when the small pox
ragged. a leading physician says that
his practice gives abont an average of
twenty births, and from three to five
deaths per quarter, which is confirmed
by the other physicians. The more
deadly type of fevers are scarcely known.
ID
town one Of the he9lthiest in the coun-
try.
Nothing that is noteworthy has hap
pened. mo moving accidents by fire,

Of the past week has, in manner,
checked outdoor business; but we hope
for some better weather before winter

His conversation is 'BeIl's Life" Of
himself. Sir, when he was in England
representing his country, be visited a
noted pugilist. They set to in the pres
ence of the nobility, this pugilist and
this dignified Washington. Sir, this
pugilist put on his coat, and gave up the
impossible task OF fetching him one
blow, saying as he did so: ''Sir, I might
have known that I could never get in
my bunch of fives upon the features of a
Washington Sir, moreover, a stall
wart mechanic was'at my house doing
some work I often talk to that kind
of people, kindly. I often talk to that
kind of people. Said he, "Mr. Wash
ington, it would tickle me much to have
a wrestle with you, for l never yet saw
a man of your build, and I've thrown
everybody else in Jefferson County" /
told him to try it on, sir. When he be-
gan he was here On the right. Directly
he was off there against the washboard,
TO the left. He had to quit work, sir,
for three weeks, and I paid his wages
till he got well.
The matter with all the Valley OF Vir-
ginia is Washingtonianism in the third
generation-p played-out country squires
trying to hold vast tracts of land. | am
informed that the Valley of Virginia is
getting no immigration, as, with land at
one hundred and one hundred and TWEEN
ty-five dollars an acre, the Pnnsylvani-
ans will not buy. Mr.. Washington
brags of his English clothes, his English
appearance, his Englishness, and he is
certainly not an American. 4 man can
be a good many kinds of fool and retain
his nationality, but not his kind.

A special Washington dispatch to the
Pittsburgh Commercial of Tuesday says
The President has expressed himself
quite definitely within a day or two to
several of his financial friends, concern
ing the question of taxation and return
to specie payments. He said that he
had been represented as favoring a con-
tinuance of all the present rates of taxa
ton, with the idea Of enabling the Treas
ury to reduce the debt rapidly. He
really believes, however, that the time
has come for relieving the great agricul-
tural and labor interests of many taxes
now imposed, and to tighten the load
upon other classes in many particulars.
He thinks there can be still further re-
duction in the public expenses, which
will go a good ways toward ofsetting
the reduced receipts from taxes. In re-
gard to resuiniig specie payments, the
President said that while his desire to
accomplish this had not been over-rated,
he was free to say that the way to secure
speedy resumption did not seem clear to
him. He thought that it would be
necessary to bring it about by such a
plan as would make the losses occasioned
by it fall as easily as possible upon all
classes. For the present he thinks a
leap to specie payments with gold at
twenty-five would be disastrous, but he
is inclined to believe that if the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is enabled to go on
with his present rates of buying bonds
and selling gold, that before great time
has passed gold will drop to from ten to
fifteen, and if this should occur, it would
soon be possible to resume without a
great shock.
