Next Thursday being Thanksgiving day, the following article, from oio of our exchanges, on carving a turkey will Do appreciable ; Thero is nothing n young unmarried man likes better than to go to a dinner at tho house of a friend and to bo asked to carvo a tur key. Ho never carved a turkoy In his llfo, and with an old maid on ono sldo of him watching him closely j and on tho other side a fair girl for whom he has a tenderness, ho feels embarrassed when he begins. First ho pushes tlio knlfo down toward ono of tho thigh joins. He can't find the joint, nnd ho plunges tlio knife nround In search of it until ho makes mlnce meat of the whole quarter of tho fowl ' Thon he sharpens the knlfo and tackles it again. At last, while making a terrible dig, ho hits tho joint suddonly,ntid tho leg Hies Into tho maiden lady's lap, wlillo her dress front is covered with a shower of stuffing. Thon he goes for the other log, and when tho young lady tolls mm ho looks warm, tho weather seems to him sud denly to become four hundred degrees warmer. This leg ho finally pulls iooso with his fingers. Ho lays It on tho edgo of tho plato, and while ho Is hack ing at tho wing ho gradually pushes the leg over on tho clean tablecloth, and when ho ploks It up It slips from his hand Into tho gravy dish aud splashes thu gravy around tor six: square yards. Just as ho has made up his mind that the turkey has no joints to its wings, tho host asks him If ho thinks tho In dians can really be civilized. Tho girl next to him laughs, nnd ho says he will explain his views upon tho subject after dinner. Then ho sops his brow with bis handkerchief and presses tlio turkoy so hard with tlio fork that It slides off the dish and upsets a goblet of water on tho girl noxt to him. Nearly frautic be gouges away again at tho wings, gets them off In a mutilated condition, and digs Into the breast. Before ho can, out any off, tho host asks him why ho don't help out tho tuikey. Bewildered, ho puts both legs on a plate and hands thorn to the maiden lady, and then helps the vou'ng girl to a plateful of stuffing, and while taking her plate in return, knocki over a gravy dish. Then no sits down with tho calmness of despair, and fans himself with a napkin, while the servant cleans the table. lie dosen't discuss thu Indian question that day. Ho goes home rlk'lit after dlnucr and spends the night trying to decide whether to commit luicidu or to take ics&Qus q parvlug. Torn to Plcpec.

On tho 10th day of March In that year, as appeared from tlio original beforo us, Peter Andreas had bargained, sold, aliened, enfeoffed, conveyed and' con firmed unty Juo. Andreas, a tract ot land in East Penn township, then In Northampton county. On tho 27th of Ndv. 1810 Jno. Andreas, by Indenture, conveyed It unto Geo.

In other words the transactions of half n century hnd never oefore beon legaliz ed, and during nil this time the succes sive owners probably noer thought for n moment of tho risks they were running py neglect.

An autograph lettor, received by him a few days ago from the President of tlio United States, causes Squiro Bcck hardt to feel confident of ills succession to tlio postmnsterehlp of East Mauch Chunk which is soon to be vacated by tho presout Incumbent.
