L Santuc, Nov. 3c.?The town was almost as quiet as a grave- b yard Thanksgiving day, as nearly c everybody had "vamoosed the n ranch,"?gone off. I do not knowiE whether nearly everybody was h hunting' or not. but judging from ; u the sounds from the fields, they n were. There were no big affairs c because of it. I do not know if tl many gave thanks.?I nev.er heard i h them.?hut no doubt some did. and C on the other hand no doubt many tl did not. 1 do not suppose many | know if there is One to give thanks to, or that they know how. Perhaps they have never given thanks. \ There may be some who think thanks ought to be given them. There were few in town, even to get drunk, if anybody, anywhere, did get- drunk. *?
