9th of November to be observed as a day of
Thanksgiving in their respective States and it
is sad that an effort is this year being made to
have Thanksgiving the same day in all the States
This Is a consumation devoutIy to be wished
Many conveniences in our business and social
intercourse with other states would flow from
the arrangement, and the moral effect of the day
would be greatly enhanced, We hope Gov,
Williams will favor the movement by appointing
that day as Thanksgiving in Vermont
NEWSPAPER BoRRowERs.--Th are few
more annoying characters in the world than
Newspaper Borrowers, After we have read our
paper and laid it aside, these borrowing gentry
seem to think it can do us no hurt to take it a.
way. Well, sometimes it don't but ten to one
we, the next day, think of an article we wish to
look at again, and begin to look round for the
paper; when after searching all over the house,
we are told it is over to neighbor Savepennys.,
AT an other time friend drops in, we speak of
the news, and run to get our paper to show him
the item referred to, when 10! neighbor Sponge
news has just borrowed it! Again, at the end
of the week, we wish TO put our paper away a.
mong the files for preservation but on enquiry,
we find that neighbor Cheat-the-printer's little
Sammy has accidentally let 1t fall into the fire!
And besides annoying the subscriber in this
MANNER these borrowers are meanly ayailing
themselves of the toll and expense of the pub
Usher without contributing a cent for his sup
port. We care nothing for that however; but
we do wish our subscribers to have the full ben
eft of our paper, and if Messrs Save-penny
Sponge news, and Cheat the printer will let
them have it, and report themselves to US accor-
dinghy we will send each of them Freeman
three months for nothing, which will probably
be fair equivalent for the reading they would
sponge from their neighbors in a year, if not
we will do better by them.
WoMEN's RIGHTS CONVENTIONAL large
and general Convention of this character was
held last week at Worcester Mass. Mrs Mich
OILS of the Windham Co. Democrat, we perceive,
was one of the Vice Presid ents and delivered
one of the addresses on the occasion. 1t seems
that there are quite number of Gentlemen ac-
ting with them. In this we suspect the Ladies
are making quite mistake. So long as they
mix themselves up with the other sex, in their
conventions, the public may take it into their
loa J,4L ,a - go Al II
are at the bottom Of tho movement, and if co.
little attention will be paid to their appeals
Let them take independent action if they would
accomplish their objects, some of which, such
as equalizing wages among the sexes, for the
same labor, and more efectually securing wo-
mans property to herself and heirs, strongly
commend themselves, we think, to all the friends
of Right and Justice.
INDIAN DEPREDATIoNs IN SANTA FE..-
The St. Louis Republican has letter fr ON
Santa Fe, dated Sept. LIST, which repor is a
daring and successful incursion of the In
dams in that vicinity 1t seems that on the
2Sth of August, while a larger portion OF
the inhabitants of Los Gavadones were at
tending the feast of San Augustin, at the
pueblo of Isletta, large body of Navaioe
Indians made descent on the place, killed
nine of the inhabitants, carried Of six wo.
men and children, and drove off the entire
stock of the place. This is considered one
of the boldest acts ever committed, for with
in circuit of five miles around Los Gal
vadones there is a population of 1000 per-
sons
This shows the shrewdness of the Indi-
an character. A body of men had just left
this neighborhood on an excursion against
these very indians; and they very shrewdIy
reasoning that the inhabitants would be les.
prepared than usual to repel attacks, go
into the rear of the troops and pounceC
at once upon their unsuspecting prey.
The HMLoTYPE.-A correspondent o

; "The natural colors are actually anc

{ IMPORTANT TO Persons SENDING Lee
: TIERS TO CALIFoRNIA.-The goVernmel
departments at Washington, as we lear
= from the IntcIigencer of yesterday, ha'
- received official information from San Fra
, cisco, that letters frequently reached thcl
with the envelopes partly torn off, and Il
address mutilaled, in consequence of Il
a practice of using sealing wax to secure Il
an envelopes. In passing through the tropi
he the wax is invariably melted so as TO de
ve troy all semblance of a seal and not u
,al frequently so as to adhere to the letter b
on meath it, and cause the injury or destructi
- of the address in separating the two. T
.tb Postmaster General therefore recommen
ia to all persons having correspondence wi

n. the Pacific Ocean, to discontinue the l
of wax in sealing their letters or other
