PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR.
The people of Iowa will do themselves an
important service by observing Thursday, the
10Th day OF November nsxt, as a day of Praise
and Thanksgiving to the Lord Of Heaven : for
that His name is Still excellent in all the eerth,
and that He is never weary in the dispcnsation
of His benefits and blessings. p,
file has not filled our barns with n plenti
full harvest the past season, He has nevertheless
given US remarkable health, watered our beau.
tiful plains bountfully with The showers of cd,
that we may be prepared for a greater increase
of fruits.
BY His Providence He has shown to US the
strange evanescence of riches which have wings
the Jolly OF attempting 10 fare sumptuously
every day in vain schemes of speculation, in
stead OF hardening the hand and moistening the
brow with honest toll
For these, and all the other merits of life,
let US on that day 60 into our temples of wor.
ship, and fill them with thank offerings to the
God of our fathers.
Praise Him, for giving to this whole land 80
largely OF His spirit, by which the faces of mul.
utudes have been turned Heavenward.
Praise Him for the Christians faith. the
spread OF our holy religion. the triumphs of
science, and the progress making in the peaceful
arts.
Praise Him, for the moral and social i'm
provements of the race by means or the inter
communications of telcgraphs and railways.
Let The spirit of Divine truth be invoked to
push forward all the great enterprises Of the
age. and that the out goings of tim morning
and the evening may still continue to rejoice

and - much Leather and Findings az half the

Store House is new, the Goods are new and
the prices are such as to correspond with the
new scale of trade viz. Cash down. It affords
US pleasure to speak well of Hobart; first be-.
cause he is pleasant and agreeable to deal with,
second because he is just out of Boston and
yet is whole souled western man in his bus
mess conduct, and third because he is liberal TO
the press and appreciates its influence. He
has built up profitable trade here in one year
and designing to make McGregor his perma.
nent home. to marry ! and settle among us DC.
&c, he has just completed one Of the handsomest
storeEoo,ns in the city and having no rent te
pay he isprepared to sell at very reasonable &
cures. We have heard number of country
dealers say that they prefer Hobarts Stock snd
prices to any Chicago Goods that have beer
offered them.

sells goods very low because we have witness.
ed it. If he receives proper encouragement he
threatens to import half the goods in Chicago
to MoGregor and open Jobbing House for
light and heavy Staples, Yankee Notions, &C..
&c, that will make the public believe that the
Tariff has been abolished in toto. He believes
theoretically and practically in "Free Trade"
and he asks the public to come in that he may
convert them. Go and try his prices.

then the authorizes of this State have been at
tempting to re-arrest the parties. But the elder
Bell and his son have left for parts unknown,
and their estate in Harrison county, Ind, was
sold few days since.
On Saturday il was ascertalned that Bell,
who had broken into the Brandenburg Jail, was
in New Albany. Five of our police officers

Bell on Main street going towards the Depaw
House, where he intended taking the stage for
Corydon. He was Immediately seized and Ia
ken to the wharf.
On the ferry boat Adelaide were two sisters
of Bell, who with him. strenuously objected to
the seizure, and protested against the ferry boat
leaving. The officers then drew their revolycrs
and demanded the hands Of the boat 10 proceed
with the trip. Of conrse they could not resist
| such formidable arguments, and acquicsced,
Bell was accordingly brought to this city,
lodged in Jail. and, it is said, on Saturday at
midnight was conveyed to Brandenburg.
At inc time OF the arrest, great majority OF
the people of New Albany were attending the
fair. When the news was circulated, it created
| the most intanse excite ant Tile belle thro~ghs
out the town were rung. vast crowds were col
lected, and all proceeded to the wharf. There
q process was served upon Henry Tennison. pi.
lot. and Dan Taylor, fireman Of the ferry boat

to the kidnapping of Bell. and held to bail in
the sum Of $500 each to appear before the May.

Whether the Witness will be pleased with

this paper will not suit him-if he is pious
