No Paper To-morrow. _ To-morrow being Thanksgiving and a legal holiday, no paper will be issued, from this ofiioe, except in :the possible event of some accurrance- of unusual importance. , _____.. Thanksgiving Day. If Thanksgiving meant nothing but an extra good dinner, a dinner repre- sentative of the best New England tra- dition, it wouldn’t be an altogether despicable creation even then. We are suspicious of folks with a soul above food. Robert Lewis Stevenson, who appreciated many other things besides eating, speaks somewhere of the sur- prising joy of the dinner-bell—and he was right. Agood dinner is a gift of God to be mighty thankful for, and taking the world round, it is probably the gift that would go farthest and be most prized by the hungry sons of Adam. But there is mere to Thanksgiving _ than the turkey. The reunion of fam- ilies, the fellowship of friends round the mahogany is a Winsome feature of the day. It breeds heart-warmth and loving kindness and a sense of the ties of kin. In our rushing American life, when time is at a premium, it is an ex- cellent idea to devote a few hours of a holiday to the process of digestion and a better acquaintance with one’s nearest and dearest. The idea of reunion brings with it the inevitable sad obverse, the remind- er of loss and changc, the empty chair and the memory of happier days. But what is Life not in the particular, but as a whole, and out of experience comes character, which seems to be what we are here for. And then, to tranquilize, to dignity the day, making it significantjand fruit- ful, comes its religious aspect, the church services and the acknowledg- ment before God that we are in His hands and have seized upon the time of gathered harvests to make good cheer and render thanks where all thanks are due. It is easy enough to talk cynically about this day, and to feel out of mood with it; but, looked at broadly, it leaves the country better and brighter every year and its innocent pleasures and affectionate meetings and greetings endear it‘ to the popular heart. So here’s a health to it, drunk standing—— the tipple, of course, sweet cider and good cheer. In, order to make the day one us- premcly blessed, let all who are able, do some kind act of hospitality or send some gift to the needy, that the day may be made as sunny to others, as to ourselves. The quality of charity, like mercy, is not strained, it blesses him who gives as well as he who receives ...______—_._... AMUSEMENTS. The Bowery of New York. “The Bowery of New York” was pre- sented by McAulifi'e and Green at . Host’s Theatre last night in a taking manner. The Biddy Hogan of Mo- Aulifi‘e was immense and kept the audi- ence in a roar, while Greene by his fine acting brought them back to the drama. The illustrated songs of Archie D moon were also rendered in a pleas- ing manner. Miss Cameron as Alice Denby was excellent as in fact was every member of the company, which is far ahead of any popular price com- pany ever seen here. Tavnight the same company will, pre- sent ‘ The Vendetta.” ' The Yellow Kid. With reference to the New York World’s present sensational comic sketches, as adapted to the stage, the public must understand that the several Hogan’s Alley companies which are out and claiming to be the original, have no connection with “The Yellow Kid of Hogan’s Alley." There is but one play hearing this title; that is the one which will be presented at the Norwalk Opera House Thanksgiving day and evening. For this popular attraction matinee prices will be 250; children 100. Re- served seats for the evening perform- ance may be obtained at Weed’s and Tomlinson’s for 50 cents. __————1. —-Advertise in the Gamma, VOLDEN TIME. __._._~_._,.._._.._. ., 'THANKscIviNc IN I remember how cleanly the farm-house was swept. .. ‘ ‘ flow the cold winter moon kissed the couch where I slept: How the fairies at midnight shot flowers on the pane .-' That dissolved in the morn like mist on the plain.

The dishes may not be of the finest, nor all of the silver solid, but the china will be clean and free from the suspicion of chip or crack, while the knives, forks and spoons will be as bright as polish- ing can make them. The well-laid ta~ blc is fully equipped before the dinner is served. At each plate is found the individual silver for the meal. a soup spoon, a dinner knife and fork, an ex- tra fork for the salad, etc. The table should never be crowded, and the chairs not placed too close together. When there are no servants the din- ner, obviously, cannot be quite so ele- gant as where their assistance can be commanded, still with forethought and. proper managing, there may be more repose at such a meal than is usually found. One member of the family may be delegated to attend to any duty that requires leaving the table. \Vith the table properly set and the food placed thereon, rising from the table is reduced to a minimum. —__-..___.
