his proclamation setting apart the 9th OF Novem-
Der next as a day of public thanksgiving and
prayer for the observance Of the people of Mary
land, in common with most OF the other States OF

selected by our municipal authorities for a similar
purpose. As thanksgiving is best evidenced in
charitable actions, we trust that contributions will
be made in the several churches open at that time
for the benefit Of the suffering poor the benevo-
lent movement TO be succeeded by collections from
the citizens at large, through the agency of ward
committees acting under some responsible au-

The First .Whaler Of the Season.--Th The
American whale ship Polar Star, Captain Hollis,
arrived at Honolulu, on the 2lth inst, from the ko-
diac ground. The report brought by her IS very
meagre, having spoken but one ship and heard
from but one other and those too early IN the sea-
son TO form the basis of any estimate OF the result
of the season at the northward. This arrival is
later by a few days than the average for the past
eight or nine years.

Fatal Explosion-On Tuesday morning two
boilers in the Manchester Print Works, in Smith
field, exploded, killing two boys, named Patrick
Mcguire and Mathew McCabe. There were about
one hundred persons at work in the building at
killed or injured. The engine room was almost
completely demolished, and it is estimated that the
amount of damage done by injury 10 the building
and destruction of goods, will amount TO about
$4,000. The works are owned by Mr.. Theodore
Schroeder, who will undoubtedly Immediately pro-
coed to repair the damages sustained. The engi-
neer has been for a number Of years employed in
the works, and is regarded as a careful and attcn-
tive man, and the accident we must therefore pre-
sumo TO have resulted from causes beyond his
foresight or control-Prov. Post, Goth.
