Smith wiiile engaged in sewing sacks at Messrs. Comstoek & Co.'s, met with a 'piiinfid accident. As lie was drawing ' the thread or twine through the sack, the thread broke wlien part way through, and the force osetl in palling the thread through carried the hand holding the needle to the face of Smith the needle entering the face under the right eye. It is t hought the sight will not be impaired. A shade higher up and the eye would have been closed forever.

We were presented with a magnifi cent wedding cake, 011 Thursday, by Mr. Evans. We shrewdly suspect that it was gotten up under the supervision of Mrs. J. Barrows. She has few equals in tlie pastry line, and no super iors. A grand Temperance dinner trans pires at Shedds on the lGth. Several prominent gentlemen are expected to make speeches on the occasion.

Dave Froman and Win. Riley got six deer and a cougar, on their last hunt. ; Miner & Pearson are still selling great numbers q the Buckeye Sewing .Machines.. Thanksgiving Evening. Tlie Apron Festival given by the ladies of the Congregational Church, at Parrish Hall, on Thursday evening, was the most successful success of the season. There was a jam of people in attendance, who displayed their liler alitj' by purchasing all the aprons, ice cream and other refreshment offered for sale, thus putting money in the Church purse. It was a gay anil festive occasion enjoyed by all, with tlie exception, probably, of the ladies who had the management of the Fair. As many of them had been 0:1 their feet from early morn until far into the night, they were doubtless glad when the crowd, satiated with the good things of which they had partaken, and with swapping civilites with friends and acquaintances, commenced to hiac clatawa eopa stickhou.se. Tlie ice cream was splendid, the aprons well made and cheap, everybody was well dressed, well behaved, handsome and polite, and soforth. Thanksgiving Skumox. The Thanksgiving services which were con ducted in the Methodist church last Thursday, were attended by a . fair audience for such occasions, the ladies being considerably hi ,the majority. Fair we say, for such occasions the great mass of observers seem to give an undue preference to that feature of the custom, which replenishes the in ternal physical man. .The Rev. Mr. Shaw, of the Methodist church, con ducted the preliminary exercises, after which the Rev. Mr. Butcher, of the Congregational church, delivered an impressive discourse from James, Chapter 1, Verse 17: " Every good gift is from above, and conieth down from the Father of lights, with whom i no variableness, neither shadow of turn ing." Among the home truths elucidat ed in the discourse,apt and appropriate, there was one which we thought would be well tor every individual to scrutinize unusually close, to see whether or no it does not apply to him. Tlie truth to which we refer, is the disposition among men to attrib ute their successes and achievments in lite to their own innate skill and .shrewdness, while their misfortunes are proverbially charged to God.

An ex change truly says : "Good road bene fit every, one residing along their course. Good roads save Iiorsefiesh ; they facilitate the transportation of produce to market ; save J'otir temper; they increase the value of your lands they lend attractiveness to tlie eye pt a stranger; they increase the traffic and business of a town by its "vitality in all the various brandies of trade; Show us a town which receives a large country trade by means-1 of the fine roads leading to it, and we 1 will show you a place that is lively, progressive and . thrifty, with money circulating, plenty, and men in all branches of in dustry busy as beavers. How to keep People Quiet, Tlie discontented people of the Per sian Capital were appeased by Me Shah in a time Oriental style. Tlie people were clamoring for bread, and there was none to give them. S the Vizier of tlie town wsis put in irons, tied to a donkey's tail and dragged bareheaded and barefooted through the bazaar at midday. After this sen tence had been executed, the head baker and several ' of his- subordinates were baked alive in their own ovens. This appeased the people for a time, but as they remain without food further rioting is expected. - - ; Mr. Spurgeon lia3 now, it is said, printed 1,600 of his sermons, of which 20,000,000 copies have been distributed, in the English, language alone..

The love of the peasantry for the Czar of Russia is genuine, and has been intensified since he decreed the abolition! of serfdom. They know that it was al ; his own doing, and the thirty millions whom he liberated from bond age may be classed among his most devoted subjects. There iare about 70,0000,000 people talking English as their native tongue. pEW TO-PAY. ! TlXTOTICELi Ox FlttDAY.DKOEMBETl FIFTEENTH 1871, at the resilience of J. I.
