Thanksgiving day was quite generally ob.
served by our citiz'ns, and With one or two
exceptions the day passed OF quietly
Business was nearly suspended by II o'clock
and most Of our business men enjoyed the
balance OF the day with their families aud
friends, consequently the kingdom Of tur-
key suffered iearfuIy, and numerous pump
kin pies, &C.. were demolished. In the
evening the Rev. David Patton, of tbs Pres
hyterian Church, delivered a very atle and
eloquent thanKsgiv ing sermon. During the
day very d:ssraceiul shooting affair took
place on the etreef, several shots being fir
ed, one Of which very nearly bit a small
boy who was standing in NJ. Greeutbal e
store at the time. The shots were fired in O
the crowd, ond it il almost q miracle th at
no one was shot. The mo st astonishing part
Oi the affair is that no arrests have been
made as yet. If we remember rightly there
IL q heavy penalty attached TO acts Of this
kind, and the law should be rgidly enforc-
ed. 1t is disgracetul instances OF this no
ture that give our town the name OF being
the worst place In the region, and it is also
apparent to the most careless observer that
there 10 large number of men 10 this place
who have no visible means of support and
do not hesitate tor q me ment TO carry out
any aod every scheme OF rascaliiy that may
enter their heads. Just so long as they are
allowed to commit crime with mpunity will
strangers give the town wide berth.
