Topics of Jin* Day.
To-Day ia Thanksgiving. “Let
all the world rejoice,” and “Earth
receive her King.” Lot business be
suspended —except the Printer’s—
and all repair to Church and listen
to the teachings of the Scripture;—
and then repair to their respective
homes and enjoy a roast turkey, if
they have one ; if not, they should
repair to the nearest restaurant, and
while enjoying a lone and solitary
laeal, resolve, be fore another Thanks
giving day shall come upon them
to exhibit their wretchedness, that
they will have a. little house of
their own, well-filled with the crea
ture comforts of earth, and presided
c ver by one who listens for your foot
step, who opens the door and receives
you with a smile, that relieves life of
it - care, and banish the shadows that.
I’it athwart your pathway,as darkness
and ghosts, and goblins, disappear
a- the cheerful lace of “Old Sol”
peers over the mountain range, scat
tering rays of light over gulch, val
ley and ravine, and ushering in the
yens norn. 1 here’s the cushioned
chair, the cheerful grate, the neatly
laid table, upon which smokes the
savory turkey. The Angel who pre
sides over your dwelling, wheels
y< nr chair to the smoking side
board, sweetens your tea —and gob
blers di.-appear as rapidly from before
you, as goblins from the approach of
day. How delightful such a repa-t!
And then to wheel from the board,
and rest in the easy chair, watching
her graceful motions as she flits
around administering to comfort.—
The shadows increase, and from the
west window is presented the glorious
\ iew of a Pacific sunset, with its soft
mellow light walking noiselessly upon
the mountains, and easting upon the
feelings a spirit of hallowed peace
aiid contentment. Over all nature
steels the spirit of quiet and tran
quility. Valley, torrent and hamlet
retire from view, amid the evening
twilight; away in the cast, upon the
now-capped peaks of the Nevada,
comes a “flood of rosy light, and then
: deep bright crimson, like the ruby’s
Hash or sapphire’s blaze, and a cir
clet of {laming peaks stud the hori
zon.” The light fades —but comes
again, and a Hood of glory once more
rolls along their summits. ’Tis the
last struggle, and night closes upon
the scene, 'fired nature seeks re
pose and drawing the drapery of your
couch around you, you lie down to —
nore ! If this is not satisfactory,
"Go, get thee to a”—Doggery!—
Where the d—l is our turkey coming
from t
Malpractice. —The Sacramento Medical
<ok'y is privately investigating a charge of
iUI-pTactico made against one of its mem
bers. The papers say that the guilt or in
nocenoc ot the accused should be made

Ih'APPKAt j:u—Ou the 3rd of November
Auguste I’otxi mysteriously disappeared
trom his residence, ou the North Fork of
Trinity aud has not since been heard of.—
lie had about three hundred dollars with
him and is supposed to be insane.
A Noble Kkpbksentative.—The Oior
ualc de Home of the Ist says :
“His Excellency, Mr. Cass, Minister of the
United States to the Holy bee, ha* made dis
tributions of large quantities of provisions
to the poor, and to those visited by fever
from the excessive heat of the season.
A Fight occurcd night before last at the
dance house on the Pinza between two pros
titntes. The combatants, a Spanish woman,
and a frail daughter of the Krnernld Isle got
into a dispute about who should hare the
head of virc set, and the first thing “Biddy”
knew, her Castillian opponent made a lunge
at her throat with a big bowie-knife and by
throwing up her hands managed to save her
wind-pipe,but received a severe cut on her
head and on one of her hands, No very se
rious damage was done however, and had
both their throats been cut. wo imagine the
country would have still been safe. That
dance house, and others of its kidney,are the
barbaric relics of a custom that had its ori
gin in the days of ’ ll* an I ’SO, when there
was some excuse fur them, hut they ought to
be dispensed with now-a-days.
if*.. The Young Men's Democratic Club
of San Francisco, lately adopted the follow
ing resolution :
Ucsolved, That the thanks of the Young
Men’s Democratic Club be tendered to the
Hon. Wm. W. Hawks, and Calhoun Bonham
Esq., for the able and fearless manner in
winch they have sustained and supported
the Democratic party and the Constitution
throughout the recent campaign in this
State.”
These Gentlemen, and also the Hon. W. I.
Ferguson, of certainly deserve the hearty
thanks of the Democracy of the entire state,
and heir services will not be forgotten.
Letter From Hon. Geo. M. Dallas. —
The following letter addressed to the Young
Men’s Democratic Club, of San Francisco,
we find in the Herald of that City, and trans
fer it to our columns ;
London, October 1. 1850.
Dear Sir —Your letter ul the 110tli Au
gust last, reached me a week ago, L am
flattered by the unanimous election as an
honorary Member of the Young Men’s Dem
ocratic Club of Sun Francisco, and request
that you will be kind enough to return my
thanks to that association.
ii gives me pleasure to hear that tha nom
inations of the Cincinnati Convention were
acceptable to my brethren in California, and
I hope soon to hear that their exertions in
the cherished cause of constitutional Union
and liberty have succeeded.
1 remain, very respectfully.
Your friend and servant,
G. M. DALLAS.
B. F. Hilliard, Esq.
Corresponding Secretary.
The Meeting of the Oro Telegraph Co.
has been deferred to the 25th iust as will
be seen by the advertisement. This is to
gain more time to arrange the neccessary
preliminaries.and to notify the shareholders
Tfr-’T Wo are again indebted to J. W. Sullivan
of the ‘S. F, News Depot’ for a big budget of
papers from the Atlantic States and Europe.
Mr. Sullivan is without an equal in Califor
nia, as an enterprising newsman.
Catholic Church. —A subscription paper
is being c ; roulated to raise funds for build
ing a Catholic Church in Orovillo. Nearly
a thousand dollars have been already sub
scribed aud the friends of the enterprise are
confident that flic requisite sura will speedi
ly bo contributed. We arc pleased to sec so
much interest evinced by our citizens in re
ligious matters, aud hope this project may
succeed.
Incendiarism. —The Blacksmith shop
and dwelling house of the Pioneer company
at Kanaka City, Sierra County, were de
stroyed by tire on Tuesday night, Nov. 11.
The fire was the work of an incendiary.—
Loss about two thousand dollars.
A Thiek Catching a Thief. —One of the
police officers who recently arrived from Eu
rope in search of the defaulting French rail
way officials, is reported to have sailed from
New York in a steamer with about 40,050
francs found in possession of the fugitives.
He went away stealthily, aud it is supposed,
intends to keep the money for his private
use. The defaulters claim that it was not a
portion of the money belonging to the rail
road company.
Case of Desertion. —A man named
Barnes, living in Forrest City, Sierra Coun
ty, on Sunday, November 9th, cruelly de
serted his wife, after collecting all the money
due him. He threatened to kill her if she
made any outcries
Attempted Suicide.— On Friday, No
vember 14th, a German named Andrew, at
tempted to commit suicide at Sonora by cut
ting bis throat with a pen knife. He mere
ly inflicted a severe wound, which was sew
ed up.
Homestead Association. —It is in con
templation to form a homestead association
in Marysville. The Express thinks it would
be better to devote the energies and means
of the people to the construction of a rail
road.
Trinity Ditch Company. —This company
*as fully organized at the Theatre in Ma
rysville, ou Saturday night, Not. 8.
Ox* ok The Preachers we Head ok.—
The San Francisco Sun of the 14th, relate**
the following occurrence which happened in
that city the day previous;—"Some one bad
gone to *‘thnt bourne whence no traveller
returns,” and his surviving friends applied
to a popular Episcopal Minister to perform
the sacred rites of the deal, on the occasion
of the funeral; but untbrluunitely the Rev
Gentlemen hud ma le a previous appoint
ment, and could n>t attend. Application
was then made to another minister—whom
deponent saith not—and bis services secur
ed. At the appointed time, the gentleman
made a few remarks, and offered up a very
appropriate prayer, in which, however, the
following sentence occurred: “Oh! Al
mighty Father, bless the people of Maine.
an*l of Boston, and of all the New England
States!” Not a word wus said about any
other portion of the Union. It is probable
that the Reverend gcuthmui thru lit they
were getting on well t*n. ugh without his
prayers, whilst the hard' tied sinners of his
selected region stood in need of special sup
plication.
'if;.. By reference to our advertising col
umns, it will be seen that the “Panorama”
has “arriv ” They will exhibit on Friday
night, positively, nnd—weather permitting
—on Saturday night, also. Those in Oro
villc who desire to feast the blessed sight
which Heaven has given them, upon the
scenes of blood and violence, enacted by the
Vigilance Committee of Sun Francisco, can
now have an opportunity of doin g so, by the
payment of one dollar, and can also hear
recounted the history of their acts, from the
assassination of Mr. King, to the disband
ing of the Committee. Wo do not think this
exhibition is calculat'd t-> improve- the mor
als ofOrovillc, although we doubt not it will
be well attended. Tito propiethr has en
gaged in this affair with a view of making
money, and like the managers of other ex
hibitions, pays for its advertisement and re
quests a notice. Wo have published his
advertisement, and given Ids exhibition ns
favorable a notice as our reverence for the
laws and institutions of our country will
permit. We would cheerfu ly wish him
success in almost any other undertaking.
Choice Clothinu. —Messrs. I), Toy &
Otterson, Montgomery Street, have a large
assortment of choice Clothing, and are the
best fellows in the world to deal with.—
Their Stock is the largest north of .Sacra
mento, and they can please every one who
will favor them with a call. If you want
Clothing, go and sec them.
The Tunnel Borku.—The Tumid borer
which was invented in San Francisco, has
been taken to Roach Hill, in Placer county
where ft contract has been entered into to
bore a tunnel five hundred feet in length.—
If the operation of perforating our moun
tains by machinery is proved to be practic
able, ami within the means of those engaged
in mining operations, it may result in de
velopments of mineral wealth which will far
exceed the fondest anticipations of the most
enthusiastic and sanguine.
Taxes. —The sum of sixty thousand dol
lars, receive*! for State and County taxes in
Sacramento, has been paid over to the treas
urer of that City. This amount, ways the
State Sournal, added to the sums already
thus far collected nnd paid in this year,
swells the total receipts to one hundred nnd
thirty-five thousand seven hundred dollars.
This showing cannot but be considered as
highly satisfury. An unusual promptness
in the payment of taxes has characterized
the present year.
The Germans. The German newspapers
in the United States arc said to number two
hundred and fifty, whi* h is ten times as ma
ny as there arc printed in all Germany.
Severe Accident. —Alfred lirannagan,
while mining, fifteen miles above Downie
villc, near the Buttes, was severely injured
on Saturday, Nov. Bth, by the falling of a
platform.
Fatal Rencoi \ t kk.-Ou Sunday, Xov
Oth, a man named M ■■ cs Reese was killed by
oneuamed Williams, in an altercation at
Monte Cristo, Sierra county.
