any in use, and only requires to be fully I'M
derstood. All the hands engaged are ex-
pected 10 be present on that morning TO be-
gin work.
Mrs. O'Donnell, wife Of Michael O'Don-
nell, had her right arm broken little above
the wrist, by falling on the sidewalk opposite
Mr. PEARLS residence on North Third street.
Mr.. Pearl, when he raised his house last
summer, also raised the walk in front, and
made an unseemly jog in the walk. Com
plants have frequently been made in refer
ence 70 this piece of walk, and we under
stand that the courts will settle who is re-
spOu sible for Mrs. O'DOnnell's broken arm.
A jury viii give heavy damages against some
one.
The attendance last evening at the first So
| ciab!e held in the Congregations church was
large, and the delicaeies prepared by the Ia
dies were as readily consumed as If the pre-
eeeding day had not Teen Thanksgiving.
The church is a very fine one, well arranged
with comfortable seating. The pastors study
is a commOdious one, aud everything is in
the best Of order. A handsome sum was re-
allied as the proceeds Of the sociable. 1t is
expected that the church will be dedicated
about Christmas, and the pastor will be in
stalled.
The union Thanksgiving service at the
First Presbyterian church was well attended
Thursday morning, the Rev. D. B. Cheney,
Jr., pastor of the Baptist church, preaching
the Thanksgiving sermon. Among the other
elergymen present were DR.. Carroll, Presby-
terrain; DR.. Dunn, Methodist, and Rev. Mr..
Kicker, Congregational. Mr.. Cheney took
for his text Psalm cilvii 20, "He hath not
dealt so with any nation" From this he
preached most eloquent sermon, giving
resume Of the history of these United States,
speaking of its growth, its influence, its lib
crafty, its freedom, and showing that no
nation had ever made such advancement in
every way.
Harry W. Smith, q veteran, and member
Of Muller Post, No. 1, G. A. r., died Thurs
day morning from heart disease. He had
been confined to his bed for only three
weeks, although he had been i'll BY times for
months. His comrades of the Post gave him
every attention, brother comrade always
being at his bedside aud the Post defraying
every expense incurred. Harry was an Eng
lishman by birth and painter by trade. He
joined Company 1, Twentieth Regiment
Michigan infantry in 1852, and was severely
wounded at Petersburg, Pa. He was literally
cut all up and 1t was wonder he ever got
well. He was a war pensiOner, but the
amount is small, as he was able to work at
his trade. His comrades will take charge of
the funeral, and another of the boys in blue
will be laid at rest beside his comrades in
arms. The funeral will take place on Sun
day at l O'Clock. The services will be held
at his late residence, and then the Post viii
take the body to Baytown for iuterment.
At the district court, yesterday, before
Judge McCluer, Chas. Clair was sentenced
for the assault case on his wife to five months
imprisonment in the county Jail at hard labor,
and in the case of assault on Allan Marty,
deputy sheriff, the sentence was suspended.
The arson case is still pending, and will not
be tried at the present term OF the district
court. The case of Hugh Campbell against
the City of saltwater is still on trial. The
whole of yesterdays forenoon was consumed
in discussing law points, and the summing
up counsel on both sides took up the greater
portion OF the afternoon, and at O'Clock it
was given to the jury At the conclusion of
the trial the court will adjourn until We'd
nesday, when court cases will be taken up.
Judge Crosby will try several of the cases, as
the court cases are becoming very heavy,
there being large additions lately. The grand
jury is recOnveued to meet on Dec. s, as
the case Of the OK thieves will be brought be-
fore them.
Sentencing prisoners in our courts to hard
labor is farce, as there is nothing for them
to do. 1t is an easy life for those who have
defed the laws to live, and 1t is no wonder
they like to see the inside Of our jail, where
they have nothing to do but sleep, eat, and
have a good time generally. The SEN
tence Of the court should be, ''to the
county jail, where you shall be treated as
gentlemen, having nothing to do, and where
the paid servants of the county shall humor
you any caprice under pain of being dis
charged. There you shall be well fed, and
keptwarm and comfortable, and Cyour will
shall be law.n The prisoners are much bet
ter of than the officials. If there is nothing
else for the prisoners to do, the sheriff
should supply them with pile of wood aud
keep them working it from one part of the
yard to another, and let them find out there
is more than mere comfort in imprisonment,
and the quicker they are made to under
stand this the sooner we will not be troubled
with criminals.
The paper festival at the skating rink last
evening was the most successful Of anything
that has yet been held there. The costumes
Of the ladies would require to be seen to be
appreciated, most Of them being perfect in
design, and the judges had much difficulty
in awarding the three prizes. The following
ladies were in complete paper costume; Mrs.
Lemon, light blue ground with white trim
mings, and hand painted panels; Mrs. Judd
Orff, yellow, handsomely trimmed to match;
Mrs. Free McKusick, white, with silver tin
sell; Miss Carrie Webb, white, scalloped; Mrs
Northrup, yellow, with rosettes of white; Miss
Berry, GLOBE and Gazette; Mrs. Barstow,
lavender, with white trimmings; Miss En-
ersOn, red and white; Miss Roney, red,
white and blue, and Miss Covell, plain white
with roses of various colors. The first three were
the winners of the prizes. The view from
the balcony was fine, as the different gaiy
dressed skaters passed in rapid succession.
All the gentlemen wore paper caps which
were obtained from the Relief committee.
The demand for caps was far ahead of the
supply, whilst the rOsettes also received an
active market. Mrs. Pennington, of Pine
City, daughter of Mr.. Eldred, president of
the Relief society, sent box Of paper caps
hats and flowers, showing that she had not
forgotten the poor of this city. The Relief
society cleared over S43 and would have
doubled the amount had they coffee and
cakes during the afternoon.
