Comment	"Fast. This time-hallowed, if not time-honored occasion, was observed in the usual way. The ministers preached to pews exhibiting a beggarly emptiness, upon the sins of the nation -- a frightful subject enough, heaven knows. The b-hoys smoked cigars, kicked football, played round ball, long ball, and old cat, and went generally into the outward observances peculiar to the occasion. [Nashua (NH) Telegraph]." from the Boston Courier, April 14, 1847. Stephen Katz observes: "The "fast" referred to was probably Thanksgiving, celebrated on April 13, 1847."
