DIP NOT FonGEr Us,-The employees of the
JOURNAL Office are under many obligations to
the lady who so kindly and substantially re-
membered them on Thanksgiving Day. The
cake was perfectly splendid and the fresh grapes
were luxury such as "poor devils of printers y
seldom have the opportunity of "fopping their
lips over" particularly at this season of the
year. Our Thanksgiving prayer was short, but
that beney olent lady in for full share of it,
THANKSGIVING DAY was generally observed in
Weayervile, inasmuch most of the miners
quit work and business was suspended during
the afternoon. In the evening a dance was
given at the Theatre by VIM. Condor, which
was well attended considering the short notice,
and passed off very pleasantly. As usual, Mr..
Condor prepared an excellent supper at the En-
pire Hotel, which was duly appreciated by the
dancers.
ONE day this week Chnawoman at this place
attempted to commit suicide by taking an ounce
of opium. 1t appears that she had divided the
dose into four parts and carefully wrapping each
in paper had taken them one after the other. In
a short time she vomited them all up just as
they had gone down the paper, no doubt, kept
the poison from taking effect as the dose was
sufficient to kill half the Chnamen in town.
AucTIoN SALE-A great variety of furniture
and other household goods are to be sold at pub
lie auction, by r. Clifford, at the Exchange
building, Weayerville, this Saturday morning
at 10 AN. Some of the articles are expected to
bring high prices, we have heard of many
who intend bidding them. But most of them
will go cheap and parties wishing to invest, will
lind it to their benefit to attend this sale.
