CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1 TO DEC. 31, 1838
HOLIDAYS (Cont'd)
795 - H&G Nov. 17; ed: 2/3 - The Governors of all "down east" as well
as New York and Michigan have set apart the 29th of the present month
as a general Thanksgiving day. It is a good old Yankee custom, one of
the best in their calendar. Why does not Gov. Vance give US his Proclamation?
We of the Reserve regard the customs of our fatherland with
a reverance and affection that cannot brook their neglect. What people
have more cause of grati tude to the "Great Giver" than the denizens of
Ohio?
"Their cup of blessings has been filled to over flowing. Health,
plenty and peace have marked the rolling year. None have been more
bountifully blessed in basket and store. None more kindly regarded in
civil, social, moral and religious institutions and privileges." (4)
796 - H&G Dec. 18; ed:2/1 - Tomorrow is the festal anniversary hallowed
by the custom of our New England forefathers. "Let it be kept with sincerity
of heart, - that the affections may be strengthened - kindness
and charity cultivated - and the mind purified and elevated by the recurrence
of Thanksgiving Day." (2)
797 - H&G Dec. 31; adv:2/5 - Notice - Bachelor's Hall, Water Street,
will be open tomorrow (New Year's day) for the reception of invited
guests, from 10 o'clock A.M. until 10 P.M. At half past 10 P.M. a
grand Bachelors Dance will come off. Those expected to join in the
dance will find tickets at the Hole in the Wall, under the Post Office.

HOMICIDES.
798 - H&G Nov. 6; ed:2/3 - The compromise verdict of the Baltimore jury
in the case of Stewart, charged with the murder of his father, is exciting
frequent comment by the press. It is hard to decide which is the
more unnatural, the crime or the verdict. "The report of the testimony
shows a most barbarous and fiendish murder, and either the prisoner was
guilty of murder in the first degree, or not guilty at all. A verdict
should have been rendered accordingly." (2)

undersigned do certify that we have viewed and appraised a certain stray
horse taken up by Joseph Small and appraise said horse at fifty dollars.
