THANKSGIVING DAv.-Thursday next,
the Goth inst, is tho day set apart by the
President and Governor Bradley for
Thanksgiving Day. The observance Of
the custom is graceful, useful and benefi-
cial in every way. With all the hurry
scurry of American daily life. which is q
marked characteristic Of the nation, es-
pecially Of the inhabitants OF this coast,
il is w,ll to set apart one day in the year
for the purpose of returning thanks for
mercies received and for rejoicing at the
increasing progress, power and prospect
~ Of the nation. The great trouble with
us all is that we are In too much Of q
hurry. we can scarcely find time for re.
creation, and the enerossipg pursuit OF
fortune gradually absorbs all attention,
hope and desire, and scarcely leaves
room for anything inthe shape Of reason
able relaxation or enjoyment. Seeing
this, il is well at one period OF the year
to stop and refresh. and then take new
start. This is 80 generally conceded
that the practice of taking holiday on
the day recommended by the Chief Mag.
istrate Of the nation, is yearly taking a
greater bold and already may be classed
as national custom. We are glad it is
so, and trust its observance will always
remain fixed institution throughout the
nation.
SUNDAY passed as quietly rs usual. A
few DRINKS were round but very few.
The fact is that since the election, there
has been marked diminution in the
consumption of whisky and other spirit
ual comforts. The fact is that the town
has become SO we'll behaved that the
labors of Young Mems Christian Asso.
citation would be entirely unnecessary.

are sure that the next one will be no ex-
eeption to the rule. ..r
TIE weather yesterday and Sunday

soon. We could have advantageously
dispensed with the old fellows presence

our best wishes.
Losr.-Ws understand that our we'll
known townsman o. T. Sherwood, in
going from Glover Valley to the'saw.mill,
got lost, wandered from the trail, had to
pass the night in the open air. and had
pretty narrow escape of being badly
frostbitten, if not worse.
ARRIvrD.-One Of the ponderous spur
wheels cast for the Raymond & Ely

string of mules hauling it that was as
long as to-day and tomorrow. u.
