ILL.TEMp.R.-It is undoubtedly
;truc, that more misery is produced
among us by the irregularities Of our

Auj. it happens unfortunately, that
ticsc irregularities CT the temper arc
most apt to display themselves at oui'
tircsidcs, where everything ought to be
tranquil and serene. But the truth is.
we arc awed by the presence Of stran,
gers, and arc afraid Of appearing weak
or illnatured when we get ont into the
world, and 50 very heroicaily reserve all
our il-humour for our wives, children
aud servants. We arc meek where We
might meet with opposition, but feel
ourselves unlauntcdiy bold where we
arc sure of no citcctual resistance.

A benefcent God has blessed the people OF
this Commonwealth with health and abundance
The fields have Welded bountiful returns to the
labors of the husbandman. The enterprises Of
the citizens, in all branches Of industry, have
been appropriately rewarded. Peace with all
nations has been youchsafed to the country.
Civil and religious liberty, under the institu-
tions Of free government, have been preserved
inviolate, and the largest measure OF earthly
happiness has been graciously dispensed by an
all-wi ise and merciful Providence.
These blessings demand our gratitude to Him
in whose hands are the issues of life-who con-
trolls and directs the affairs of men-whose will
is Omnipotent to save destroy, and who min
giles in the justice Of His Judgments the attri-
butes Of HIS mercy-before whose power ma
tions are exalted or cast doWn-and they call
upon US, as one people, TO unite in solemn
Thanksgiving--in humble supplication and praise
TO the Almighty Author Of every good and per-
feet gift, for these His undeseryed blessings TO
his weak and sinful creatures. They require
the profound reverence Of Penitent hearts, SEN
sble of the unworthness of humanity and Of
the enduring mercy of righteous God.
Believing these solemn truths deeply i'm
pressed with the duty of devout alteration and
humble prayer in compliance with yenerated
custom, and the desires of the great body Of the
people |, WILLIAM +. JoHNsToN, Governor of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby
appoint and designate THURSDAY, the 29M
day Of .Norember merit as day of general Thanks
giving throughout the State: and | hereby re-
commend and earnestly invite all the good peo-
pie of this Commonwealth to a sincere and pray
erful observance Of the same.
Given under my hand and the great seal of
the State, at Harrisburg, this twenty-flth day
Of October, in the year Of our Lord one thou
sand eight hundred and forty nine, and of the
Commonwealth the seventy fourth.
By the Governor.

on the back is genuine and the best, if not the

enclosing the words estate Bank Of Ohio" is
set in the centre of square block, which is not
the case in the genuine.

CoURr PRocEEDINGs.-A considerable
number of criminal cases occupied the at
tention of Court in the early part of the
week. Among ihe cases tried was that of
the Commonwealth VS.. John Bullekin,
an intelligent locking boy of twelve years
old, whe Agas addicted for setting fire 10
the barn of Mrs Mcclellan, near Belleville,
during the past summer. The principal
evidence was the boys own confession
made some weeks after the thoughtless
act had been committed, but nothing was
ELECTED from she Witnesses TO show that
there was any malice in it, which the law
absolutely requires to make it a capital of
fence. The witnesses generally testified
in favor of the boys previous good char
acter. Judge WILSON charged the Jury
with a brief but lucid explanation of the
law respecting such cases-alter which
the Jury retired and returned a verdict of
Nor GUILTY.

Constructive MILEAGE.-It appears
that Mr.. Comptroller Whittlesey has Just
put his retO upon the account rendered by
Mr.. Dickens, the Secretary Of the Senate,
OF about $4,000, which he paid to the
members of the Senate, as constructive
mileage that is, he paid all of them, but
three who had scruples in the matter, the
mileage, for going home on the 4th of
March last and returning the same day.
1t rs stated that Mr.. Whittlesey submitted
the matter TO the President, who promptly
requested him to do what he believed 10
be right, and let the consequences take
care of themselves Mr.. Dickens will
therefore, have to ask Congress to make up
the expended sum. The paid Senators
will hardly refund any part Of the sac, 900
