To-day, Nov 26th, is Thanksgiving day.
We hope our readers will all enjoy it. There
are many things To be thankful for, not the
least of which is, that you don't owe the prin-
ter. We fear some of our good friends will
not be able to realize, experimentally, the full
degree of satisfaction TO be derived from
that source.
Union Thanksgiving service will be held

of the Free Baptist and Disciple churches,

business. Union prayer meeting at the

One of the employees of w. j. Selhck
ESQ, informs us that w. j. has had custom
ers from Hartford, Lawrence, Porter, Mar
cellus and Schoolcraft, who came to purchase
goods of him, in consequence of having seen
sale of clothing, in the NoRrHERNER. 1t pays
to advertise in paper having a large circu-

When we said in last weeks NoRTHERNER
that Maclay & Sheckler's sciopticon enter
tainment, to be given at Longwell's Opera
House, was good thing, and no humbug
we intended to state the simple truth. But
we were misinformed. and now take back
what we said. After witnessing the show
we do not hesitate to affirm that we consider
it to be very slim affair, and not worth the
cost of admission. We incline to the opinion
that Brodhead Post will 90 out of the show
business. It's members have been peculiarly
unfortunate in their efforts to entertain our
citizens, bat it has been their misfortune,
rather than their fault.
| Mr. G. Z. Galligan, our fat OK justice, has
returned from his western trip. He brought
a broken ankle home with him. He says he
has been railroading, and don't like the bust
ness. The truth of the matter is that he
went to the Sedalia Mo-, stock yards one
Sunday to witness the operation of unloading
cattle, and, boy-like was clambering over the
| top of the train which, by a sudden start,
threw him of and broke his leg. He is old
enough, and has read stories enough about
bad boys who went fishing on Sunday, ETC.,
to have known better. he is able to navigate,
by the use of pair of crutches, and says he
thinks his general health was improved by
his trip.
The Courier gave our teachers we'll mer-
tied compliment last week, but as usual was
not quite exact in its statements, there being
a slight discrepancy in the three following
particuars:-frst, there have been but sc en-
rolled in the high school instead of 100; Sc
cond, the foreign pupils in that department
number 43 instead of so; third, instead OF 10
foreign scholars in the other departments
there are 13, nine OF whom are in the gram
mer room. Possibly the teachers class was
counted in this estimate, but we hardly see
how that could happen as they were neither
seated nor enrolled in the high school. Per
haps it would be advisable for its editor to
use little moro care in gathering his infor-
nation.
