LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THANKSGIVING.


Yesterday was, according to general ex-
preston, one of the most quiet days which
Sacramento has seen for years. Throughout
the day a sort of New England Sabbath still
ness prevailed, and except here and there,
where the pressure of work compelled other
wise, business activities were suspended and
the day given up to family reunions, turkey
dinners and quiet social enjoyment. At II
AN. union service of the city churches
was held at the Seventh-ssreet NJ. E. Church
South, at which there was full attendance.

lection taken at the close of the service
amounted to S42 20. which is to be
equally divided and paid over to
the Howard Benevol MT Association
and the Protestant Orphan Asylum.
Among those who were remembered by the
acts of others during the day were the pris-
oners in the City and County jails. An extra
dinner was given the prisoners at the City
Jail, and in addition dozen fine pies was
sent them by George Schroth, baker, and a
box of apples by John F. Farnsworth, from
NJ. T. Brewer & Co, which were served to
them. At the County Jail Sheriff Heilbron
made a present OF three and a half dozen
ducks for the prisoners Thanksgiving meal,
which was prepared with many extras and
arranged upon a long table so that all could
be seated at one time. An ample supply of
pies was also presented by George Schroth
for their dessert.
The permanent men of FIRE engine No. 9
gave fne banquet in the afternoon at their
reception rooms, at which the Chief and
members of the city fire department were
present. The members from engine No l
took their engine aud hose cart to No. 2
headquarters to enable them to attend
the banquet and also be ready to
respond promptly for service if an alarm
should De given. An extensive and we'll
ordered collation. was set in good style and
socially enjoyed. Toasts were given, speeches
made and songs sung, and genuine reunion
enjoyed.
At the hotels and restaurants Thanksgiving
dinners prevailed, which was also probably
the rule at private fresides throughout the
city; and if eating good dinners fulfilled the
requirements of the day, no doubt justice
was rendered to the occasion.
THE SARsFIELD SHooT.-The shooting con-
test of Company C, First Artillery, Captain
Sheehan, took place at the Homestead Range
yesterday, commencing at l:30 P. NJ. The
company was divided into six teams of eight
men each, and the shooting, although spirit
eddy engaged in and greatly enjoyed by the
several teams and invited guests, did not re-
suit in as good scores as the companyis capa-
bic of making and as those heretofore. This
was perhaps owing TO the lateness in the day
at which most of the shooting was done, as
from 10 A. N. till P. II. is regarded most ia
vorable, on account of the light being better
during those hours. The best of order pre-
vailed throughout, as is usual with this COM
pary at its meetings. The boys were accom-
panied by the Independent Drum Corps, J.
g. Shaw leader, which furnished music
to and from the grounds. It also played at
times during the shoot, and gave an air of
active field service to the occasion, but with
the pleasant difference that the shooting was
all in safe direction. Following is the re-
suit of the shooting: First prize, $40, won
by 0. +. Hughes team second, S14. John
NIiller's team third, IS, DR.. T. M. Shields
team fourth, 81, Nj. Hollands team fifth,

Dolans team. In addition to the team-shoot-
ing there were prizes offered and won as fol
lows for the best individual shots: First
