Thanksgiving Day.

On Thursday last, Goth inst the
Sun rose beautifully bright to usher
in lo1ely May morn, the day set
apart by Gov. Nichols for thanks
giving to God for our 0e)Ivrlnnce
from the hands of the spoilers. Not
n cloud speckcd the cernlean vault
that arches the Universe, "a no re.
greet should dim the Joy Of all lovers
of free government. At the hour OF
ten o'clock A. VI. the loud tones OF
the bell in the Cathedral tower, an
uounccd the time for tire celebration
of High Mass In c"n'memorat'"n OF
the ascension of our blessed Savior,
as well as the Triumph of virtue over
vice, and intelligence over ignorance
and venality. As tlIi, beautiful cere'
mony was being completed, the bell
of the Protestant Church peeled forth
its soft tones to tell the hour that was
to he the commencement of the
Thanksgiving ceremonies there. Rev.
Mr.. Hough fthe NJ. E. Church, spoke
eloquently of the dntjes Of christians
to country, and for an hour interest
ed his congregation.
In the evening the Choir of the
Cathedral of the Immaculate Con-
ception sang the 1e Denim laudamns
in their very best style, and as the
solemn and majestic hymn swe||ed
the air will, it's joyous notes, eac''
and every heart telt its pulsat'ons to
quicken in honor Of the glorious oc.
casion which called it forth.
This hymn is simple, though one
OF the grandest in the whole range OF
the hymno|osy Of the Roman Catho-
lie Church, and was first sang at the
baptism of Augustine by St. Ambrose
and it is therefore known a. the Am
brasian Hymn. Tl,as ended the day

mesa houses remained closed through
out the day, and all participated with
JOYOUS hearts on the ever he re
membered occasion.
