THANKSGIVING DAY,

Thanksgiving day is a Massachusetts in
stitution and dates back to the Pilorjms and
Plymouth Rock. In the dark days of the
Revolution, the day-which was not Only
day OF thanks for the blessings Of the har.
vest, but of recognition of n Divine provi.
dence in the affairs OF men-was adopled bv
the Continental Congress" which at least
twice appointed by proclamation day for
Thanksgiving and Praise. One of them was
the 9Th of December, III, when the army
was in winter quarters at Valley Forge. md
General Washngton's orderly book OF the
18th contains the following Tomorrow
being the day set apart by the honorable
Congress for public Thanksgiving and Praise
a,d duty calling US dcvoutly 10 exprcss our
grateful Acknowledgements to God for the
manifold blessings he has granted us, the
General directs that the army retire to its
private quarters, and that the chaplains Der.
form divine service with their several cor,s
and blisadcs and earnestly exholts all Off.
ccrs aud soldiers, whose absence is not abso-
Intely necessary, 10 attend with reverence The
soiemnities OF the day." But on the return
OF peace, the practice had obtained root mn.
where else than in New England and again
secame an exclusively New England Gus.
TOM With the beginning of the war for
Inc Union the sense of national dependence
upon divine favor was quckcned and tbe
nation was invited by its chief executive to
give thanks to God for his goodness and to
pray that his favor and protection might be
continued. The practice thus revived in a tine
of national peril and sorrow, has been con,inm
cd since the return of peace. The sons ard
daughters Of New England who have emf
grated to either the West or the South. have
carried fond memories of the old homestead

car buy only what they want they are will
ing to pay more for il, and it is economy for
them. The grade one manufacturer doesn't
want another will, and so, sooner or later,
all grades will be sold and the raiser realize
better prices than if he sells his clip all
together.
We Of course do our own grading. but it
requires a knowledge of grades and the
wants of manufacturers to do il properly,
which could only be effected on the markets,
hence most manufacturers prefer to buy on
the markets. Here also your woods would
have the benefit of much larger and better
competition than possible TO get in the coun-
try, and if prices don't suit at one time
there will be plenty of opportunities.
VI the different experiences you relate OF
selling wool at home, here and east, OF
course we cannot judge as we don't know
the circumstances. The markets may have
been higher in one instance than another,
and the wool sold in Chicago may not have
been well sold. We know we have mos
excellent market for the sale Of WOOL and We
aim to handle woods carefully and for the
best interests ofthe consignor, yet so as to
meet the wants of manufacturers and secure
our consignors the best possible prices, and
We have consignors to day who have shipped
is regularly for several years.
Our commissions, l cent per h., cover
cost of getting woods insured and all expense
after receipt Of wool. We will advance two
thirds value, charging interest on amount adj
vanced till wool is sold. We sell for cash o,
shipment only. Glad to see you at any time
Very truly yours,

LICENSES.

On Monday last nineteen of the liq-
uor dealers in this city presented their
bonds for approval under the new re-
quirement of 5000 license. The liquor
sellers intimate their intention to con-
test the validity of the action of the
board in establishing the price OF Ii
cense, on the ground that there was
not legal quorum present at its meet
ling. It is presumable the licensing
board acted understandingly as to its
powers and duties. 1t is quite prob.
able such quorum as the liquor deal
ers claim to be necessary to fix the
license at 5000 is obtainable; escape
from license is therefore hopeless.
AS remarked in the TELEGRAPH
last week, 5000 is not high license; il
is the maximum price fixed by the law!
Of the state. In the neighboring STATE
of Illinois this spring in multitudes o.
cities, some more and some less popu
lation than Kenosha, licenses hay,
averaged $500.

FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
LAWYERS FEES.

| Different versions have appeared
in the papers in respect to the $40, 200
lawyer fees, some having it that Elk
Senator Doolittle was the recipient of
the fee, others that his son, j. r. Doc
little, Jr.,was the fortunate man, 9TH
ers that the services were for selling
real estate in Indiana. We copy from
the Racine ADVOCATE the following,
which it is reasonable to presume is
nearer correct:
Some years ago a syndicate of east
ern capitalists organized company to
purchase large amount of real estate
near Chicago, where they proposed to
build a great manufacturing center
similar to Pullman. Judge Doolittle,
of Racine, with his partners, were
employed to purchase the land and do
the business for the firm. For some
reason the scheme fell through The
company refused to pay the commits
sions to which the lawyers were en-
titled, and Judge Doolittle brought
suit for damages. The case has Just
been finished in a Chicago court, and
$4,000 were awarded to the lawyers as
their remuneration for their services
in the matter. Mr.. Doolittle's many
