Six years ago, B. F. TAYLOR, to
whom our citizens will have the pleas
ure of listening next Tuesday even

ticle on the origin of this time-honor-
ed custom, from which we make the
following extract:
Two hundred and thirty-four years
ago, young Edward Winslow, who
married the mother of New England s
first born son, was writing a letter tc
his desr old heAe.
After the harvest had been gather
ed. wrote Winslow. that sterling maj
Governor William Bradford dispatch

might have luxuries for a feast, ano
rejoice together after the the fruits o
their labor were garnered. "So," a.
the record runs, "Ghey got thell
game and cooked IL, anu they a''
of it, and they feasted Massasoi
and ninety OF his Indians, and the!
thanked God with all their hearts TO
the good world and good things in 1t
And so they kept their first Thanks

A quarter of a century elapsed
when Governor Bradford declared
that since that day, no man had want

Here is story OF Yankee invention:-Isaac s.
Geer, of Lisbon, Ct, wanted to extend water pipe
through an under drain several feet below the sur
face but how to get the pipe through without taking
mp the drain was the difflculty to be surmounted
After studying upon 1t for WHILE Mr. Geer hit upon
this admirable plan. He opened the lower end Of
the drain, caught cat and attached small line to
her leg then thrust her into the upper end and gave
most uneaIthly !" and pussy appeared at the op-
posite end as quick as her legs could carry her. The
pipe was drawn through the drain by means Of the
line, and Mr. Geer had the satisfaction OF saving ten
dollars by the operation.
