The clear f@nd expressive voice of the soprano rang throngh the large and spacious church, filling every recess with singular sweetness, it was particularly noticeable in the 121st Psalm, rising distinctly above the united voice of the con- eregation, The pieces chosen were appropriate for the occasion, and showed the discriminating taste ef tne selection, The minister pre!aced his remarks, if they may be go called, by saying that ne had been deeply grieved by the severe sickness of @ dear Imiend, and unable to prepare any regular sermon, ‘What he was about to say had occurred to him in a decsultory way, aiter coming to church.

True Greatness and National Prosperity— Sermon by Dr. Vidaver. The services in the synagogues yesterday was Well attended, and tuere was amore general sym- pathy with the Tnanksgiving occasion than 1s usually observed. In the Thirty-fourth street syna- gogue Dr. Vidaver preached from Isaiah xiit., 6 “L the Lord have called whee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand and keep thee, ana wilt give thee for a covenant of the peuple, for a the nations.” The Doctor caited attention to the President's proclamation under which they had assembied to worship God and give thanks for His mercies. This annual Thansgiving custom, he said, speaks volumes in favor of the intrinsic worth of our American instiutions, and the whole nation, as one man, promptly respond to the invitation of the Chief Magistrate of this great and grateful Union, Ana none are more willing to respond to this call than Israehtes; not only be- cause they form an integral part of the American people; not only that they firmly belicve tuut all oar joys and blessings come from our Mercilul Father in Heaven, but because, above all, they be» lieve that Israel’s institutions are the beacon light to all nations, directing tnem to DUTY, VIRIUB AND CIVILIZATION. Israel's Feast of Tabernacics was a feast of ankagiving, and on that day Israel acknowledged that “not by mignt nor by power, but by tue spirit of the Lord,” were ail their successes secured; and thia republic, Walking in the light of Israel, on tus day es 18 Voice in thanksgiving and halleiwals w ost Hign, whose ever-watchful eyes and ail- poweriul arm hath guarded and procvected us duciug the year past.

Aud now, in view of these biessings and our escape from wars and tumnits avd jauines and pe-tences, must we not feel coinpelied, 45 a ha- tion, blessed by God's pecullar smile, to give thanks to tlm among the nations and sing praises ty His hoy name? Verily, it was God's protecting hand and watchiul eye that securcd these biessiigs lor Us and has kept us a nation trom the vegtunimg of our brief history unto this day, And on every pace ol our American history we can trace the words of the text—*J have calied thee th righteousness and ‘will hoia thy hand and Keep thee, and will give thee for @ covenant of the peuple for A LIGHT OF THE NATIONS."

Beride the targ-t companies, the fantasticals had @ lively time yesterday. Several of the motiey crowds, some In wagons drawa by miscrabic and Jank-looking horses, aad others mounted on animals of the most wretched character, made their ap- Pearauce on the streets about noon. ‘tne com- panies, including those in Wagons, were dressed in every conceivabie manner. Some were painted and costumed like savages on the warpath, and were pleasurably excited at times by the inspir- ing notes of @ penny whistie. Two of these crowds, the Hackmen’s Sons of Pleasure and the Hackmen’s Fautastical Club, attracted mucn atten- tion. The captain of the ‘atter got himself up gor- geously as an Indian chief, and really he woud have made @ gooa Spottea Tall, His sieutenant 10de beside un ancient temate friend, holding a cabbage boujnet, for whose extraordinary attire all tne repositories of old clo’ from the City Hail to Canal streeL must have coniributed.

Their chutce band had remaiued sileat until tus time, but the blare of trumpets and the roll of drums in reudering an old circus tune capped the climax, and the tew ladies drawn by curiosity to the ‘balcony of the hoter laughed with a gusto that was reiresiing at the sight. Alexis did not appear to do lonor to the Hackmen’s Club, an no doubt when the story oi the visit was told him he regretted his inattention ex. ceedingly. THARKSGIVING IN BROOKLYN. The thanks of the citizens of Brooklyn for the many blessings and enjoyments of the past season were everywhere indicated yesterday. All the stores were closed, the mechanics and lgvorers abandoned their work, and the city, with a few exceptions, was as quict as it 1s usually of a Fabbath, Upon the City Hall, places of amusement and other public bnildings about the city and upon the ships along the wharves flags were displayed. Upon the countenances of the pedestrians im the streets, even when screwed almost out of shape by the severe cold and keen Winds, might be detected Indications of thankful hearts within—thankful that no devouring element had robbed them of thelr homes; thank/ul they had warm clothing and could face the wintry winds which whis.ied about the corners, stripped the dry branches from the tree tops, and made the signboards squeak doleful music upon their rustv hinges, The poor were remembered in the various churches, liberal donations being made for them, and they were thanktul. Those who labor perse- veringly throaghout the week were thankiul to have a day off, Some went upon target excursions, some remained at their firesides, white others attended thelr places of worship and listened to the Thanksgiving sermons of their pastors, For tar- qeteers the day was anything but agreeable, and the muskeis were never more awkwardly carried or with less pleasure by the members of these organt- zations than they were yesterday. There were Several companies of fantastical, in all the gro- tesque costumes imaginable, upon the streets, but thelr marches were not so extended as usual, and consequently but few of the citizens had an oppor- tunity to see them. The Lockett Guard, which have been making preparations for their annual excursion for some lime past, turned out in goodly numers yesterday. Their prizes consisied altogether of edibles, They had a truckload of pigs and another truckload of butter, teas, coffee, sugar and all Kinds of groce- ries, and nearly ail the members made tt a protit- abie Tuere was a Thanksgiving dinner given to the pupils at the Industrial School in Concord street, and the Javeniles enjoyed the treat immensely, ‘The néwsboys conuected with the Home in Poplar street and those of 139 Van Brunt street made a large number of tat old gobblers look like skeletons last evening, aya were truly thanktul for tue east, ‘The childrea connectet with Holy Trinity Charoh Mission, im Myrtle avenue, Were provided with & substantial diner yésterday at ex-Aiderman News man’s large biilding, in Washington, between Ti- lary and yonnson streets Over Varée hundred chil- dren sat down to ine tables and the way the turkeys disappeared was astonisning, — Aiter the feasy Was over there were singing and speaking and when inese exercises Were concluded all the edipies which nad been left from ihe meat were dove up in small parcels aud handed to the children to take to their homes, ‘The members o! the reform committees remained at home yesterday, feeung, no doubt, thankiul that the lve bark of (he city governinent was still able to float, that there were yet funds in the city treas- tne sensational drama, the iatest out, calied “Paris; ov, The Days of the Commune,’ Lord Dundreary Sotnera plumed himself for tne occasion at Nivio’s, bul there were many ~\spicious and that tie debt of the city, even imeluding th penses: tor street Improvemetts, was not over thirty-five milion dollars.

A lively air was performed on the organ previous to the service, and then the reverend gentieman popped out from a side room and took his place, The organist gave another seiection and gradually toned down to a plaintive air. The audience was more than ordinarily devout, and the leader of the chor ascended the platform aud uttered the FIRST NOTES OF THE DOXOLOGY. ‘The people rose up and joined heartily in that glo- rious song of praise, The effect was very striking. The reverend gentleman then rose and read fom the Psalms the several passages in which God Is praised ior his mercies, after whica the congrega- ton sang the hymn commencing: Come, sen { His praise abroad, And hyinna of glory ang; Jehovah is tue Son oC Gud, ‘The universal King.
