Carlrespondeiice ot tto Commercial. - r New York, Nor. 25, 1856. 1 We are cosmopolitan in our holidays here, at in almost everything else. This great polyglot people of .Gotham, seems to adopt- irrtr peculiar holidays of each tribe of its people, and, after all, it never seems to gef-holiday enough.'; VVe celebrate here the Yankee Thanksgiving with" the ortho dox accompaniment' of turkeys and pum kin pie J on "Paas" day, we eat eggs boilad hard, in true Dutch style; on Christmas, we hoist the German gift-tree, and "St. Patrick's day in lue-mornin' " is also gel ting to be a universal institution. ' In fact, people are food of; increasing the number of those appointed days, on which they may -excuse themselves for. unwonted de partures from steady : habits, by . asaertinr that Ml only couie once a year." But Thanksgiving has never been universally nor very generally observed in New York, Until within the last few years. Yestecday was a perfect triumph for the Yilnlce hol iday. Cverybody shut up hoj, and staid at horns with wife ttrii children, or more orthodoxljr siill, turned out to liear a two hours sf tnon. . Services were held in rooai of the churches. TtjeJews observed the day by religious services in accordance with the request of the Governor, and fur the first time. The proclamations have hitberto been addressed to nominal chris tians only. , ;i -As for the non-church goiog' and un-do-mestic portion ol the community, they were abroad all day seeking.recreation accord ing to the most , approve! method. TJie most popular recreation" among mechanic, is, at this season of the year, a . target ex cursion. Most sensible people could hard ly see the fun of marching off ten or twelve miles after a fife and drum, to stand in a cold wind and pop at a target with a gun you never learned to Jiandie.- Out it is 'the fashion with city mechanics to go a target shooting; and, as the practice is traditional, we take it for gruntri (hat there must bJ oai "aJbusemeni. tii it.

To-day we are all quietly dfgestingpor Thanksgiving dinners. There will be a little less cheating W Wall at , and a few less murders in the Sixth Ward, for the rest of the week. UID, WIFE AND WIDOW IX TWENTT MIN UTES -A SINGULAR AND MELAKCUOLT CASaC. ; : J , . . 7 : Dr. James H. Bogardus, of Kingston, Ulster county, N. Y died at the Girard House, in .New York city, on Sunday, 'af ter a rery short illness, under singular cir cumstancea The Herald says; The deceased was 43 yean old, of tha highest respectability, and ranked the first in his profession in the county in which he resided. For about two years he had. been engaged to .Miss 3 Isabella fJamiltan, a young lady, also a j resident of Kingston, and qp two occasions days were fixed for their nuptials, on each of which death presented a barrier to the consummation of their wishea; On the former instance, the death of' bis brother's child rendered a postponement of the day of their contem plated marriage necessary, and both the doctor and his affianced bride attended the funepit On the second occasion .fixed for their union, Miss Hamilton's sister lost a child, and sgalri they attended a funeral service instead of their own marriage cere mony. " :',."'. " M ':;,.. . On Monday, of last week Dr. Bogardus came (o the city and put up at the Girard House, in Chambers street, and on. retiring complained to Mr. JJavis, witrt. whom be was well acquainted, that rre was .quite un welL The following day, not fealtng able to leave his bed, Dr. Styre and other emm ent physicians were called in and consul-- led,- After several days' attendance . they cme to the conclusion that there was something more than disease of the body in the case of their patient, and they inti mated to him the fact, whereupon Dr. Bo- gar J us frankly informed bis medical advi sers that he was deeply attached to a young lady, to u horn he was to be married on 1 "uesday, (yesterday :) that tbeir mar riage had been twice frustrated by death, and tLat he now feared that his own ill ness would prove a third interposition to bis happiness. ...... - -Dr. Sorer perceiving the sad effect which the fear of another disappointment had up on his mind, suggested the propriety of senotnga telegr pmc - despatch to Miss Hamilton to come to Tw Yprk without itelny, for the purpose of carrying out the wishes of Dr. Bogardus. 'The despatch was accordingly sent, and Miss H unilton arrived about four o'clock on Sunday, morn ing, 'and, as early as possible, some of their friends residing in Newark were sent for to ntteod the inarrie ceremony.; At 1 u'clock the aameday Dr. Sayre visited his patrcnt, and lourfU.tulu so muca belter that he considered that it would be unnecessu ry for him to attend again. At half past 2 o'clock the parties were -united, and Dr. Bogardus expressed his thankfulness at being enabled to curry out his, intentions of marriage io the lady m question. Their mentis then retired for a few moments " tor the purpose, of partaking of some refresh ment, tie toen remarked that he felt so much better that he would get up, and at one proceeded to raise himself in bed. His bride, perceiving hrs efforts to rise, went to assist him, only lo discover that he was expiring iu her arm. She' instantly lran to the bell aad rang for Assistance, but before' heir friends could reach , the room he was a corpse, and yesterday af ternoon his remains were tnkeu to Kings ton on board the steamer North America, for interment. MISCELLANY. Prii tke Savanna Daily Kcus. ' . ; RUNNING A SAW; HOW UNCLE JOSH DOLES BARKED OR, - UP-THE WRONQ SAPLING . Old uncje Josiah Boles was an invet erate joker, o fond of indulging Iris mischievous hunior that he otiei run imminent risks of uupleasant and even serious consequences, rather than forego the enjoyment of a joke or a quiz, "He was no respecter ot persoiiF. tunes or placev;and if tempted by opportunity, wouia be as apt to perpetrate his fun in a prayer-meeting as at a corn-shuck- tng, uron a stranger as readily as upon. a laminar acquaintance, uti one occa sion he came Inea'r paying dearly for the indulgence1 of his mischievous pro- propenity. . He had been on a journay to Mississ ippi to look after some business matters, and was. returning home through Ala ba'ma. (Sue evening he stopped at the tavern ol a country village. After sap per he entered the bar-ro m, arid took a seat by the fire, and, like a good old fashioned country-gentlemen, as he was smoked his pipe. His attention was soon attracted by a singula i!y looking, half-witted, dwaifijh young man, who was lounging about the door, The fel low was not more than four feet high, with an immense -head, covered with Ion shasrgy hair, which stood out in eve ry direction the separate locks seeming to have no affinity to each other. A very short neck connected this head with largequare shouldersvf rom which the body sloped down, wedge-shaped, to his feet, which were large, bare and" unwashed. - Uncle Joshj as he was familiarly called, was not long in making the ac quaintance of the chap with the big head, whfm-he found to he very simple, talkative and inquisitive. - Undo Josh affected to take a wonder ful liking to his new acquaintance, who gave his name as Benjamin Bunch. Ben was much flattered by Lricle Joshs estimate of his parts, especially" by his lavish praises of his head and shoulders, and the liking soon became mutual The result was that a bargain was struck) in pursuance of which Ben was to go with Uncle Josh to Georgia in the morning, for ,:twerity dollars a mouth and found." Ben was delighted; and immediately set about to make preparations for the journey. Going home he told his peor pie that he was off to Ueorgia, where lie was to have twenty dollars a month and an easy situation. : The matter-was soon noised over the village that Ben Bunch was going to Georgia with a gentleman who had hired him lor twenty dollars a month, and. in- a short time a number of his ac quaintances had gathered in the bar room to ascertain what they could. in regard to te matter. Ben had only been a.ble to tell them what a, "mon strous nice man" Mr. Boles . was, the wages he was. to receive twerrty dol lars a month and found and that his situation was to be an easy one. , I One or two who had ventured to open a conversation with the old gentleman from Georgia,, were anxious to know to what use- he was going to pat Ben Burtch who, they said was too lazy to keep'jhe flies off of himself in warm weather, and had'nt .sense enough - to get under the shelter out of the ram. "So much the better fox that."? aid Uncle Josh, .in his slow, -distinct man- tier of speaking1 "He's jest the very man forme. I've got a situation that will suit him exactly. . The questioners began to despair of getting any further satisfaction,, when Ben came in with his best suit on, and a bunule in his hand ready to start ear ly in the morning for Georgia. MHen,M enquired one of his acquain tances, "what in creation is you gwine to do down in Georgia 7" J "Oh, you never Mjud," replied Ben, ' I'm gwine in the morning with that ere gentleman. He cau tell you what I'm gwine for."' " Then Ben saw some one outside to whom he wanted to communicate his erood fortuneand he was soon surround ed by a ; crowd about "the- door, some of whom cautioned him, telling him -that he. did nt know but what the man he was going with was a kidnapper, or perhaps he would work him to death in a two-hand saw-mill. Ban began to feel a little curious, and the party agreed with him that he should know what was to be his im- plovment before he went any further iu the business. The- crowd went into the bar-room, where Uncle Josh was eu- joirig his second pipe by. The firek deter mined to be sa-ushcu ahotit the master. After keeping them in suspense some time, Uncle Josh, lose up, knocked the ashes from his pipe, ami said ' Well, gentlemen, the lactis my old woman is 'getting rather poorly, and I want him to set in the fire corner for her to break bark over his head," Ben, who had been sitting on a bench, . : ' . i a a sprang to tfis teet as it ne naa Deen shot. A loud laugh burst from the par ty, but above all could be heard Ben's curses, as he sprang into-the middle of the floor, threw down his bundle, and began rearing and prancing like an en raged catamount. His lir'isey coat was soon peeled, 'sleeves ."rolled up and but , tor the uiterlerence oi the crowd, te would have had Uncle Josh by the ! "goorle". in a twinkling. - . diguation !" exclaimed. Ben, striking his brawny hsts, and making the palms' of rus f-et crack together as he sprung at least two feet from the flor "your wife break bark over my head! you old drated cuss'. I'd like to' see you- or any other woman in Georgia doit. - Jest et me at him, boys, and 1 II shuck him out o tus skin Quicker n hchtniu, you see if I don't." Uncle Josh was taken bv sufprise, when he saw so much life in the dwarf, and began to feel -apprehensive for his safety when he found it look three of t';e best men in the room to hold him. t was several tn unites, and not until die proprietor of the lionse had inter fered, that Ben's rage'was at all appeas ed. After he had - become little calm, Uncle Josh made a rather awkward explanation of what he meant only for a little mn, arid by treating the whole party to peach and honey, and asking Ben's pardon, the matter was amicably settled. But it was more than any of Ben Buiicnrs friends ever dared to do to ask him about that easy situation down in Georgia, at "twenty dollars a month; and found'' F ' From the National Intelligencer. THE OLDEST SENATOR. The death of Mr. Clayton has very nat urally, directed attention to the members of the United States Senate, and lo the point of seniority. Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, is now the "father of that distinguished body, having entered it-on the 4th of March, 1817. It will be seen, however, on refer ence to the record, mat this now veteran Senator did not exhibit any great degree of fondness for the public councils, high as the position of a Senator has ever bean con sidered. He resigned his first term in less ban three rears, and his successor, the Hon. Richard'M. Johnson, was appointed on the lOib December, 1819. Mr. Crittenden was again in the.Snate, his service dating from 3d March, 1835 He again resigned before the end of 'his term, and bis successor, the Hon. James T. Morehead, entered the Senate "o i the 20th ebruary, 1841. Mr. Crittenden then suc ceeded Mr. Clay, who bad resigned on the 23th February, 1842, and continued until the 3d of March, 1849. He was elected Governor of Kentucky, "but relinquished that trust in July, 1850, to enter Mr. Fill more's Cabinet as Attorney General. Mr. Crittenden's present term commenced with the 3d of March, 1855,makidg his whole service about eighteen years. - lne Hon. lames A Pearce, of Maryland, is next in the order of seniority,' his service ting from the 3d March, 1843.. He is now iu bis term. The Hon. Lewis Cass commenced with 4th March, 1845, and re signed in 1843. when nominated for the residency. He is in bis second term, which will be closed on the 3d of March, 857. r - - - . . . None of the other Senators now in service date further back than 3d March, 1845. The seniors stand thus :. Mr Bright, of Indiana, 4th March, 1845 ; Mr. Yulee, of lofida, July 21, 1845 ; Messrs. Kusk and Houstou, of Texas, February 21, 1846 ; Mr -.Butler, of South Carolina, December 21, 1846: Mr. Mason, of Virginia, January 25, 1847, Mr. Hunter. 4th.

" , THE NORFOLK (VA.J "OUTRAGE." A great ado has been made about an outrage alleged to have been committed at Norfolk, Ya., upon Capt. Stanoard, of Fair Haven, Conn., in consequence of his hav ing auempted to vote for Fremont. The Norfolk Herald disposes of the matter as follows ; v. . '' . The fact,' as we have them from tha City Sergeant, Mr. Wm.T. Hendren, are as fol lows: When Stannard handed in his ticket to the Serjeant, hs at the same time called out " fc remont and Dayton." 1 hs Ser geant repealed the names and handed the ticket to the Commissioner, without re mark. The vole was challenged by an outstder, who insisted that Stannard was not a resident of the city. . Being question ed by. the Commissioners, on thai point, he stated that be bad been a resident of Nor folk for ihe lat five years, carrying, on the business' of a huckster, and although bis family bad remained in Fair Haven, and he was a Connecticut man, he always con sidered Norfolk his place of residence. On opening, his ticket, however, instead of the nnmos of fifteen electors, it contained only the folio wing: : " John C. Fremont, of California, for President. William L. Dayton, of Delaware, for V iee frsident." The Commissioners of course could not receive it ; but it was entered on the back of the poll., ... . : As Stannard had called out the names of Fremont and Dayton in an audible voice when he banded in his ticket, the Sergeant considerately directed a police officer to' at tend him through the crowd. outside, and beyond the bounds of the court yard, to protect him from possible insult of injury hut the precaution was altogether unnec- cesnry, as- no one manifested the slightest inclination to molest him : although it was evident to all that the man had given such a votein a spirit of provocation and bravado. As this statement will be sworn to by the Sergeant if required, we would suggest to the editors of the N. Y. Herald and ihe New. Haven Palladium, whether t ey do nut owe it to our community, and to the majesty of truth, both of which have been most vilely outraged through their respec tive papers in this matter, to transfer it to their columns. ,II00P IRON. 5 TONS ona inch. , . - , S liand 1 inch.
