Thursday next, Both inst, is the
day set apart by the Executive of this
State for Thanksgiving throughout the
Commonwealth. We hope our citizens
generally will honor the request made by
the Governor by proper observance Of
the day. The custom originated with
the Pilgrim Fathers Of New England, who
frequently appointed days of Thanksgiv'
ing for deliverance from the expressions to
which they had been subjected in the Old
World, and from all the dangers which
surrounded them in their wilderness home
in the New. Gradually extending from
New England. South and West, it has
within few years been adopted by all
the States in the Union, and may now be
said to have become national custom
one which reflects the highest honor upon
the American name, and most happily ex-
emplifes the Christian character ofthe peo-
pie.

The TRIUMpH OF RUSSIAN ACCoRDANCE
WITH PRopHEcy.-A learned Hebrew has
just published book to prove that the
fall of the French and Ottoman empires,
the occupation of Egypt and the Holy
Land by the British, and the formation OF
a Russian Latino-Greek confeleracy, by
which Egypt, Palestine and Jerusalem
will be invaded and conquered, are clearly
laid down in prophecy as theevents which
are to prccede the long expected deliverance
of the Jews by the Messiah, his subjugation
of the world through their agency, and the
consequent establishment of the kingdom
of Israel. If this Interpretation Of the
Scriptures be correct, the Russian wal
promises to be tolerably long one.

cause of his opposition was the fact that,
