? r &C l. A Nj A ITO n,

In accordance with a venerated usage, es-
tablished in the first settlement of the country,
by our virtuous and pious an cestors, and sub
sequently continued by their descendants,
do, with the advice and consent of the Coun-
Gil, appoint THURSDAY, rHE TWENTIETH
day of November next, as a day of Thanks
giving and Praise, and recommend to the peo.
pie of the State to assemble on that day in
their usual places Of public worship, and re-
tnrn their sincere and unfeigned thanks a. AL
mighty God for the innumerable favors and
blessings which He has bestowed upon them,
not only during the past year, but for the
whole period of their existance.
Let as thank Him for HIS constant benevo-
lence and loving kindness; for bounteous
harvest and rich increase of fiocks and herds,
making glad the hearts of the labOrer and
husbandman ; that no fatai pestilance or
wasting disease in any unusual degree has de-
prived us of our friends and relatives, but a
pure and inyigoraiiny atmosphere has brought
to us health and strength; that He has foster :.
ed the various pursuits of industry, and that
the earth. the air and the sea have Welded to
man the tribute which He has imposed upon
them.
Let us thank Him ,ha. our national Con-
stitution, the foundation of our free institu-
tons, and the rich legacy of our fathers, has
thus far been preserved to us that the Amer
lean people have been endowed with a prac-
teal ability. which has enabled them to found
great and powerful republic, holding a high
rank among the nations of the earth, and that
although at times our political fabric has ex-
pericn ced the rude and violent shocks of con-
tiicting opinions, reason has never failed to
resume its sway yer folly and prejudice, and
peace and quiet have uniformly followed the
deepest excitement
Let praise the Lord. because he lis mer-
ciful and gracious, slow to anger. and plente-
Gus in mercy.' and because his goodness to us
is unreasonable and boundless He is truely
our Maker and father, and We, the work
of His hands, and His dependent children
are bound to yield to Him ready and willing
obedience, warm and flial affection, that we
may promote our own happiness and fulfil
the purpose of our creation.
Let praise Him for redemption from sin,
and that lie has opened a way by which every
creature may enjoy happy and glorious i'm
mortality in an eternal world, where virtue
aud goodness will be protected, and wicked
ness deprived of its power.
And while we offer to Him tho homage of
grateful hearts for the abundance He has Civ
en- to us. may we not be urmindful that every
man is our brother. and has claim upon our
sympathies, and that we should be active to
relieve the wants of the poor and the suffer-
ings of the afflicted.

CONTINUOUS ARTIFICIAL GuMs,-The great
Improvements which are every day being made
III the dental art, are calculated to falsify the
remark continually made by people from
abroad, that the Americans have bad teeth
universally; End it should be matter of con.
graduation that American science and skill
have done more to remedy the defects of ma
ture in this particular, than the combined eff.
forts Of all other countries. The result Of these
continuous gums, when successfully managed,
Is a durable and Interchangeable set of teeth and
gums, without single crevice in which par
tcle of food or saliva may lodge, and become
offensive. BY this improvement the form
and expression of the face may be restored to
any degree of rotundity desired, so as to pro.
duce distinct enunciation and restore the nat.
ural features to degree impossible to attain
in any other way. The invention, in our es-
timation, deserves to be universally adopted
on one of its merits alone, and that is their
construction in such manner as to render Sc
cretions of food and all foreign matter impos-
sible to collect about the teeth and gums,
thereby obviatins the objections urged against
artificial teeth, viz, offensive breath. This
invaluable discovery is the result. of the long
study and patient experiments of DIR. John
Allen. Of Cincinnati. The process requires
more skill than is possessed by ordinary dem
fists, and persons should be careful 10 select
as operators, scientific practitioners. We have
seen some beautiful specimens at the rooms of
Drs. Cummings Flagg, to whom we can
confidently recommend the public, and we
take pleasure in referring to them all that
would know more of this important triumph
