STATE OF VERMONT.
A Proclamation.
ny THE GOVERNOR.

By commendable usage, the people of this
state have long been accustomed TO cele-
brate day, near the close Of each year, in
offering descriptions Of thanksgiving and
praise to ALMIGHTY GoD, for the blessings
and mercies Of the past season. Respect for
the custom, and for the memory OF those
who established it, and above all, sense
of our own obligations and responsibilities
TO Hin who hath spared our lives and sup
piled our wants, demand from US an obsery-
ance OF this anniversary. The fruiifulness
OF the year Just closing, the unusual exemp-
ton from wasting sickness and deadly pes
tilence, which has been so signally enjoyed
by the inhabitants OF this state, render II
specially proper, that day should he set
apart for a public, simultaneous expression
OF our gratitude and acknowledgements, TO
Hin who giyeth sunshine and shower, and
at whose command are the messengers nf
affliction and mercy.

nj she received o letter from London,
pI " her that she is the lcgatec Of more
aH ick of rupees, left her by an eccentric
10 .ea lemen recently deceased at Calcutta.
Her husbands namo Is Everett, and he is
mate Of a New Orleans vessel. The incident
which caused her good fortune is worth rela-
ting The captain Of an American vessel,
while at Calcutta about two years since, be-
came acquainted with the old gentleman al
luded to, and it so happenen that he (the Cap
tain) knew all about Mrs. Everett and her
family, from the fact that Everett himself was
for long time mate on board vessel with
him. The old gentleman in course of con-
versation, ascertained this circumslan ce, and
spoke very feelingly Of Mrs. Everett, whom
he remembered as beautiful child to whom
he was strongly attached, at the same time ex-
pressing warm interest in her welfare. On
the American captains return to New York,
he related the particulars Of this interview 10
Mrs. Everett--but nothing further was heard
of the warm-hearted Eastern gentleman until
the arrival Of the letter first above mentioned.
The full particulars OF this little incident would
make an interesting story from real life.
