clearly the restitution that must exist in
the several frontier counties OF that state

900 acres was planted in corn, not a bush

counties, having an aggregate population
of 23,OO0 are all on the rem ote frontier and
the settlements in them have all been MADE
within three years. The eight in which
the greatest destitution prevails have all
been populated within the past year or
two, and the greater part of their popula-
ton settled in their limits, either last
spring, or the preceding fall. These eight
counties have an aggregate population OF
1900 settlers, who generally had their first
crop planted. They had expended all
their means in building houses and put
ting in crops, but the drought and grass
hoppers wrought the total destruction of
everything they had plauted, leaving them
totally destitute. They are without either

Hinadale, ". II.

The ladies of the Baptist society held a
fair and festival on Tuesday evening, Nov.
18th, on which occasion they furnished a
great variety of refreshments, and offered
large assortment OF useful and ornamen-
tai articles for sale, the latter mainly the
productions of their own busy fingers. An
antiquarian room presented sn interesting
display of colonial furniture and costumes.
while the fancy table finely represented the
taste and handiwork of fair portion of
young America" There was a fair at
tendance, and the net proceeds are estimat-
ed about one hundred and fifly dollars.
Joel Derby was a few weeks ago, quite
seriously injured while gathering leaves.
He does not remember how it happened,
and the first his friends knew of any troub-
lie they saw his horse returning to the barn
with the forward wheels of the wagon Mr..
Derby's head was terribly bruised, his Jaw
broke en-, and three ribs fractured. His case
was very critical for time, but he seems
now to be slowly recovering.
The "Hinsdale En- terprise," the news
paper gotten up for the late Baptist fair,
contained an interesting account of Hins-
dale industries, from which we extract the
following concerning manufactures:
A variety of shops and mills are scatter
ed along the right bank OF the Ashuelot
for the distance of about half mile. and
thus far they have run on and wrought
with ceaseless activity. Halle, FroSf n
Co., In their wooden mill employ one hun.
drsd and twenty hands, their monthly pay.

We have no purpose or desire to preach
a sermon this morning; we only put pen
to paper to wish our readers, one and all,
much Joy and gladness as they to-day gath
er about the traditional turkey. The
Thanksgiving anniversary has, indeed,
lost much of its original, puritanical sig
nificance, but its real purpose Is none the
less truly su bserved, when, as In New
England. it is made The day Of all the year
for family reunions and domestic joys. To
the children, if to none else, let the day be
one of unrestraned mirth and happiness
and wherever, among guests or hosts,
there be those to whom vacant chair or
an ever-present sorrow brings shadow
that drives quite away the old-time joy of
the Thanksgiving Festivities, let us hope
that to all such there may at least come an
unfeigned thanksgiving of the heart that
God is, and that He is rewarder Of them
that diligently seek Him.
We have only one other suggestion: Be-
fore sitting down to dinner to-day remem-
Der that the surest way to make your own
turkey tender Is to give one to your neigh
Dor. Or, still better, let every family ain
comfortable circumstances remember that
the times are "hard," and, If they are hard
to the prosperous, that they are doubly so
to the poor. Having this in mind, they

which Mr.. Tilton Is indicted for malicious
~ libeling Mr.. Beecher; also two crimi-
nal cases, in which Mr. Moulton Is lndict-
ed for malicious libel one indictment be-
ing for libel of Miss Proctor, and the other
for libel OF Mr.. Beechcr. All these cases,
with the exception of the sut for damages
brought against Mr.. Moulton by Miss
Proctor, are to DO tried in the city court Of
Brooklyn. The hearing Of this case was
on Saturday set down for tho FIST Wcdnes-
day In December; and in the case Of Mr..
Titon's suit against Mr.. Beecher, in which
damages are laid at 500, 900. the trial day
Is fixed for the Slh of December next. All
the cases referred to have a relative bear
Ing upon each other, and a verdict In any
one of them would of necessity exercise
great Influence upon the determinations of
the rest. If the criminal suit against Mr..
Tilton for maliciously llteling Mr.. Beech
err went against him, IL would Of course
virtually put an end to his suit for damag
es against Mr.. Beccher, and in case the suit
brought by Miss Proctor for damages
should be decided in her favor the effect
would be to weaken very much Mr.. Monl-
