XHANKSGIVINO SER.HON, By a vote of the Conference Bishop Lintis Parker preached the Thanks giving Sermon before a large audi ence in the Front Streei Chnrch. It was.a very appropriate andTirnpress- ivefdi8Coorse. It had the same cha racteristics of thought and treatment that marked, his Sunday sermon clear, vigorous, luminous; the style simple , and the arrangement com-' prehensive and admirable; the lan guage accurate, choice, felicitous of ten; the sweep of thought wide and with enough of .fervor to drive it home. Said Dr. Wilson, of the Pres byterian Church, himself an elegant writer, to us: "It was a very fine sermon -:the eloquence "of thought." Said the editor of the JV. C. Presbyte rian to us: "You said Bi&hop Parker was not a great preacher. - But I think that was ereat Dreachiner." We thought it highly intellectual, forceful, interesting preaching. The Bishop is evidently an uncommonly strong man, and if his temper and spirit are sweet the General Confer ence made no mistake in raising him to the Episcopal Bench. 'H careful- y minds the discipline, we noticed, taking no liberties in the service. He would do well to lecture on that subject. He was careful to read the lessons and to repeat the Lord -s Prayer. ' ' The following is a brief sketch of him, taken from the Raleigh Advo cate:, " . '!' "Bishop Linus Parker. D. D . is a native of the State of New York. He was born in Rome, N. Y., in 1829, hence he is now 55 years of age. When a boy.he , removed from New York to Louisiana, and was employed as a clerk in a dry goods store. w mie m tins store ne laid tne foundation of his intellectual growth by risine very early in the morning and studying Greek and Latin before the regular business hours of the day. He was converted when quite young, and entered the ministry in the Louisiana Conference in his twenty-first year." - Spirits Turpentine. Blaine got 89 more votes in Wilkes (York's county) than Dr. York got. ' Asheboro Courier; Two horses were stolen in this county last week.

Happening in a grocery Btore on Thurs day morning we were witness to an occur rence which we thought at the time afford ed an explanation to some of the fancied shortcomings for which grocerymen have beea heretofore mainly held responsible. How often do we hear the complaint that this or that groceryman ' has cheated by giving short weight or short measure? The occurrence was this: A girl came in and called for some articles, and among them was butter. She asked the price of the latter and was told that it was 35 cents per pound; when she said she wanted 30 cents' worth. The groceryman told her to take a pound, as she had the right change. "O, no," she replied, "I want to get some thing else." The groceryman very properly refused to let her have the quantity of but ter she wanted, knowing, as he remarked, that the result would be the old complaint of short weight The groceryman inform ed us, after the girl went out, that he often had such customers to deal with, and we have n) doubt that others have the same experience. At all events it is not always the groceryman who is to blame for short weight and measure. - Personal. We had a pleasant call yesterday from Ret. Dr. B F. ' Dixon, Superintendent of the Oxford Orphan Asylum We are glad to know that he will carry back with him a substantial addition , to : the orphanage fund. We hear of one gentleman who gave him, unsolicited, his check for $50. Among those in attendance upon the ses sions of Conference ' we notice Mr. Julian S . Carr, of Dothaml ' were pleased to meet an old friend in hej person of Bbv. P4 J. Carraway, one of tie prominent members of the Conference. Wd were also glad to meet Rev. Mr. Rhodes, formerly pastor of Fifth Street Church of this city, Rev. J. W. Primrose has accepted the call of theJSecond Presbyterian Church, ot this city, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Rev. -Cr-Mr -Payne, the late pastor, now or wmcorav and wm arrive here with "his family ; next . week. He has already tendered his resignation of the Presbyterian Church of Oxford, and of Grassy Creek and Saitoh Churches, in Granville. - ; -l A TnanfcsglvlnK Blpple. Some boy threw a burning match on the pavement on Market street, between Front and Second, Thanksgiving day, and it went through an opening in the sidewalk and into a basement under a grocery store, falling in the midst of a lot of paper and rub bisb, which was gradually becoming ig nited, while smoke was 'beginning to ooze through the crevice in the pavement. ; Foi tunately the danger was quickly perceived and a bucket of water from a plug near at hand served to extinguish what little fire there was. To render assurance doubly sure, however, one of the stone slabs of the pavement was taken up and the pafier and rubbish was thoroughly overhauled until it was settled beyond question , that not a spark lingered to.be fanned into a flame.- WHOLE NO. 567 Weather Indication. - The following are the indication!) for it- day? f' For the South Atlantic States, partly cloudy weather and rain, winds shifting to southwest and northwest, rising preceded 4n northern portions by falling barometer. Thanksgiving Day. y This day was observed in Wilmington in" much the usual style.- Very little business was transacted, the most of the stores be ing opened for a short time in the morntSg and then closed for the day. Many resort ed to the wild woods in search of earrkstA ' found it not. Some few were smiled upon by kind fortune and returned with a goodly string oof innocent birds, who warbled forth from their tiny, throats the last notes of thanksgiving, for them, as the- onid ahnt from relentless weapons of death penetra ted their delicate frames. ' ? Thanksgiving services were held in seve ral churches. At Front Street Methodist Church Bishop Parker preached t a largo congregation, the building being crowded uuui auu,iu lug galleries. Mayor's Court. John Richardson, colored, was called up to answer to the charge of fighting, and he was fined $5. The party who was engaged the scuffle with Richardson escaped and has not been taken.
