couple of drunken men staggered about
the streets, and were sport lor the boys, on
Thanksgiving day. The iren should have
been arrested andput in jail until they
reached a sober MateT Teai-b your boy not
to make sport of a drunken man, or an
idiot. Teach him to be above such sport.
Misfortune in nearly every case, sooner or
later, attends people ho make sport of
drunkards, and idiots or weak-minded peo
ple. CXlTog of Briton Fasick's caught a rMck
eri TJn Monday, and forthwith proceeded to
devour the fowl; but before the bird was
entirely eaten up the hog choked, ai.i a
butcher was sent for, ao that the pork might
not be lost. On examining the hog's wind
pipe,
the fact was revealed that the craw o
the chicken had got into the wind -pipe of the
porcine and so nearly choked it to death,
that then was the fittest time to prepare it
for sausage and so forth
Thanksgiving day was -jnile well observed.
Thare were union services held in the Luth
eran church in the forenoon, and a sermon
preached by lev. T. J. Sherrard. Busi
ness was generally suspended. It is a grand
old holidav. and worthv of observation, if
honest thanks are rendered, but the early
dream of the Puritan that it should take
the J ace of Christinas day observances can
never be realized. T lie C hristmas observ
ance belongs to the world, w hile Thanks
giving day belong 3 to the YaLkee.
