MINOR MENTION.
THANKSGIVING Day has not come into
general observance in the Old Dominion.
Heretofore its celebration has been chlehy
confined 10 the descendants OF those VINO
came over on the "Cauliflower and settled
on Plymouth Church" as Mrs. General
Gilfiory would say But because 1t Is not
celebrated with the same warmth IL does
rot follow that our people are not thank
full for all the mercies which have been
youchsafed to them. They are devoutly
thankful, and Yesterday from thousands
of hearts in "the enchanted land went
up mute but no less eloquent and earnest
thanks to the Giver of all Good Tor ms
tender care, and for the gifts of life, lib
erty, health, and the pursuit OF heppi-
ness.
In the mercantile world there were
some noted events. At Seventh and
Broad streets Antoni opened his uptown
palace, an account of which will be found
in another colum. Levy & Davis inaugu-
rated their annual Christmas sale OF holt
dav goods. At the offices lately occupied
by the Danville System the ladies OF
Grace church served a dinner, seasoned
with the sweetest of smiles, and reaped,
as they should for sweet charitys sake, a
rich harvest.
AFTER-THOUGHTs
The day which dawned amid rain ana
cloud, and which for twelve hours was
enough to try ones soul, passed into his
tory in very becoming style. Night Tell
with the dome of heaven Illuminated Dy
myriads of stars. The youthful moon
which came into existence at 2:2O T. Nj.
did not linger, but it was very perfect
night-clear and cold. At all OF the en-
tertainments above noted the JOY was
doubtless the same of others Of which no
account is made. Among the sad scenes
was the funeral Of Mr. Harris, alluded to
above, and that of young Mr.. Maury.
There is no day without its griefs.
From 6 to o'clock T. NJ. the Their
mometer record of AZ remained about
stationary, after that it gradually grew
colder and at midnight the air was bleak
and wintry with probabilities OF cold
day.
Whatever of the New England enthu-
siasm "our Thanksgiving" lacked, its
celebration was no less heartfelt. We
keep back our greatest exuberance OF
spirits for the time-honOred Christmas
festival
Most everybody was on their good
behavior, but the inner sanctum OF The
TIMES was painted red or very nearly that
color, and several parties who came in to
see the editor or to look out for some
thing fresh got the latter on the coat
sleeve or some part Of their raiment
On the whole our people are to be con-
graduated that the day passed in pleas
ant, quiet, and most decorous manner,
and that the day after Thanksgiving
opened on a contented, peaceful, and fair
" prosperous community. May there be
many more of the same kind.

AN EyENTFUL NIGHT.

A number Of social events were an
nounced for the night, and many anxious
hearts beat with gay anticipation and
many an inquiry was made, :" VIII the
clouds roll by" About o'clock those
who felt 50 abiding an interest in the
state of the weather were able 'to read
their answer in the stars" for about that
hour the rain ceased and soon the little stars
began to twinkle and the bright ones gilt
tered as pretty as ever they did when
from Aunt Dinah's quilting party we saw
sweet Nellie home"
In the West End were several private
parties, where bright eyes looked love
to eyes that looked again" &c, and all
were merry as a whole chime of wedding
bells.

NEws-GATHERERs LEFT.

The closing up of the various public
places most resorted to by the local
scribes in their hunt for news caused a
general scatteratiOn to and fro on very
fruitless search for items. The Police
Court, the only place where even-handed
Justice was dispensed, was very barren.
Although observed as a holiday, there
was but little dissipation and no disorder.
Not a fire-bell rang, only one call for the
city ambulance, no one hailed the police
with "Ah, there !" and day more devoid
of "accidence, incidence, or the work OF
an incendiary,' has rarely been recorded.
The evening was equally as dull as the
morning. The matinee, which was
spoken of, at the Theatre did not take
place. At the Academy a very good
audience witnessed the fine performance
of Callan, Haley g. Callan's Minstrels ;
but beyond this, if there was any un-
usual goings-on, it has not yet reached the
very ample ear of this historian.
1t continued to rain with but little in
Permission throughout the evening, and
only those whom business caused to brave
the storm were out. About 4 o'clock
there was a slight fall of hail, and it grew
perceptibly colder Between II NJ. and
3 p. VI. the thermometer fell from AZ de-
grees to 60, and the indication for fair,
colder weather, at least the latter, bid fair
! TO be verified.

OUR THANKSGIVING.
HOW THE MORNING BR0KE-AT THE
CHURCHES.
A Dav's Doings-How the Night
Fell-Social and Other
Events, &C., &c.

At midnight Thanksgiving eve II was
damp and cloudy. Soon after the shower
which had been continuous during the
event q. set in again, and thanksgiving
Dav dawned damp and disagreeable. Inc
weather predictions were for flair, cooler
weather. 1t continued cloudy and threat
ening all the morning, but it was just al,
ternoon before the pent-up CLOUDS opened
and the rain pitilessly descended aiiKe
upon the just and the unjust.
At some of the churches, where the
services were prolonged, those in attend
ance were slightly drenched. AS ma
tional holiday, business was suspended at
all Of the national, State, and city oihces'
The banks and exchanges also were closed,
and in other instances there was at least
a martial suspension OF business. Many
persons took advantage OF the hollday
and hied them TO the woods, ana to-mor-
row we will be RECALLED with marvellous
stories of men who killed twenty-five
birds at fifteen shots, and will hear OF
MANY others who, if they did not Kill
much game, came home half-shot them
selves.
While the religious observance OF the
dav was not general, services were held
At number of churches, notably the
Episcopalian, at all of which it was
kent There was no preaching at the
Baptist and Methodist churches. Most
of the ministers of the last denomination
are at Conference. A special service or
all the Baptists was to have been held at
the First church. This was prevented
by the funeral of the lamented Alexander
Nj. Harris, son-in-law of Mr.. George A.
Hundley, who died in Waco, Tex, NO
vember 10.
One of the special features Of the day
was the love feast of all the Presbyterian
churches at the First church. In the pull
nit were Revs. Drs Charles II. Read and
NJ D. Hoge, and Rev. Messrs. X. 7. Kerr,
r. r. HoWison, and w. F. c. Gregory, all
of whom took part in the services. Inc
choir sang an inspiring voluntary, and
after the second hymn and during the OIL
fertory rendered beautiful selection with
solo parts by Mrs. w. }. Stephens ana
Miss Julia Kelley
Mr.. n. b. Clapp presided at the organ
in his usual perfect style. The Scriptures
were read by Rev Mr.. Gregory, and the
opening prayer was made by Rev; DR..
Hoge. DIR. Hoge prayed fervently in
thanks for the manifold blessings ourpeo-
pie had received, and alluded eloquently
to the President of the United States, and
prayed especially for those who make
and administer the laws of our country.
The sermon by Rev. X. X. Ho1wlson
was appropriate to the day, and was
heard with the deepest interest and atten-
ton by large congregation.
