Thanksgiving day in this city dawned bright
and clear, but during the forenoon the sun was
at times cIouded. The air was cool and frosty.
AS early as o'clock the crowd began to gath
er at City Hall to attend the great praise meet
ing, and before 10 o'clock. the hour appointed
for the meeting, all available space in the hall
was filled, and many were obliged to leave for
want of room. The meeting was ali that its
most sanguine friends could expect Tie col
lection netted S179.55 to the Widow Wood So
ciety. AT the close of the meeting the large
congregation scattered to the several churches.
all of which were we'll filled. An abstract of
the dscourses preached can be found on the
first page of this paper.
In the afternoon the theatres were we'll pat.
ronized, and in the evening they were crowded.
The dancing public gathered either at City or
Lancaster Halls, where they found delight in
tripping the light fantastic toe-until an early
hour in the morning.
Very interesting temperance meetings were
held at Allen Mission and at Congress street
church. Large congregations gathered at each
place and good degree of interest prevailed.
But few intoxicated persons were seen ON
the street, and the polcesmade a small number
of arrests. Upon the whole the day passed off
very quietly. The streets were not crowded as
they often are On Thanksgiving day, and it was
very evident that large lumber of persons
spent the day as it should be spent--n a So
cial manner at home.
