New England was first planted, the settlers met with
many difficulties and hardships, as is necessarily the
case when q civilized people attempt to establish
themselves in . wilderness country. Being piOusly

was taken; and, from that day to this, they have in
every year observed circumstances of public happi-
ness sufficient to furnish employment for a thanks
giving day"
