THANKSGlYING.

THANKsGlvING.
This annual and most welcome holt
day yesterday passed very pleasantly
In both Gold Hill and Virginia. Re-
iigious services, appropriate to the &C.
casIon, were held at some Of the
churches. and the banks, express and
post-otHces, and many other places OF
business being closed, the day appeared
considerably like Sunday. At most OF
the public eating places the traditional
turkey was served up for the special
dedication Of customers, and nobody
was turned away from lack Of the
requisite price of n meal. Many was
the turkey also, destroyed IN private
family circles. and everybody thank
fully and cheerily entered into the
spirit OF the occasion, and felt rs gas
Economically and feStively social as
stomach or disposition would admit Of.
The weather too WAS propitious, and n
more generally acceptable rhankSgiv-
ing was never enjoyed anywhere. In
the evening there were two balls ut
Virginia, and both we'll attended. As
In duty bound we attended both, first
visiting
The Tarn vereIn Bali
At their new hall on North Z street,
lust north Of Sutton Avenue. A more
soclable and agreeable company we
have never seen assembled together.
The hall Is eligibly situated on the
east side of the street, aud Is neatly
fitted up with the usual gymnastic ar
rangements Of the Turner'S, and at the
rear end, over the orchestra, was the
heartily expressive olu German word
I" Willkommen." Aud most heartily
welcome aud at home did we find u r
self aud everybody else. The banner
of the society, inscribed with appro-
pirate German notices, and also the
American flag. hung from the ceiling
overhead, and the music ofthe band was
excellent. The guests were TOO nu-
merous to dance all at once with
ease. more especially In the round
dances. therefore the efficient floor
managers arranged for half to dance
At n time, while the other half stood
in couples, ready TO follow in literal
rotation, at u given signal. Waltz,
Scbottish and Mazurka followed III
rapid, whirling succession; round
dances being In the highest lavor. a..
