 Thanksgiving Poultry.
 The supply of poultry in the mar ket yesterday was not as large as was expected but today it will be ann pie for those who desire to keep thelr Thanksgiving in due and ancient form Fine fat turkeys were selling at 2S cents per pound and chickens about the same, geese at ~ cents. Farmers have been withholding thelr poultry from market for sometime in the hope of seeing prices go hlSher, but the warm weather of last week frightened some of them into market and brought the price down from 3O weather encouraged them to again hold on and the consequence was that very few turkeys and chickens were brought in yesterday.
 President Johnson's Message.
 President Johnson's message has been so anxiOusly awaited by the country that we are positive that no man who takes the least interest m public affairs will fail to read it from beginning to end. And we are equal ly certain that the number will be few of those who having read the docu- ment will not lay it down with a failing of relief and pleasure. It deals so frankly, sensibly with the great questions of the day that it cannot but give the strongest assurance to the nation that the helm of state is in reliable and honest hands.

In the morning a moist snow storm set in, which turned into chilling mist before noon. while the streets were so sloppy and slippery that the few pedestrians found loco motion tedious business within doors the cheerless wintry elements that ragged outdoors were all forgot ten in the universal gladness and hill arity of the festival. The churches were thinly attended as usual, the | weather doubtless keeping many at home.
