A Lie Out---Where 1t Is.

A short time since we noticed an
accident as happening to John H. But
terfoss, which many know to be the
truth. yet that gentleman has denied
any knowledge of the affair through
the columns of his "organ." We
have since called upon the aforesaid
gentleman and he has acknowledged
the truth of all we asserted, and like
wise telling us more than enough to
substantiate our first notice. On ac-
count of some personal dislike to this
establishment, he has seen proper to
tell us. in a christain-like manner, that
we lie, but after considering the source
from whence it emanated, we refrain
from taking serious thought upon it.
We sincerely trust that our indignant
friend may have the better luck of
catching horse instead of a cold on
the occasion of his next runaway.
We came nigh forgetting to mention,
that we have been informed from re
liable source the fact of Mr. B. being
unable to play cricket for some time af-
ter the accident. We know 10 hn does
not like to be paraded before the pub
lie, but he should not act so ridiculous
ly foolish about it.

day appointed by our Governor for the
uplifting of our voices in praise to
God, the christian inhabitants of twen-
ty-fve States will turn in concert to-
ward their respective temples of wor-
ship and pour out their souls in thanks
giving for the multiplied blessings
showered upon US as nation and the
favors shown us as people guided by
the unseen hand of Him who spoke and
it was done. Many, very many are
the family reioicings to take place on
this time honored day, and many very
many will be the prayers poured out
for the safety and well being of the alb
sent.
The custom of celebrating Thanks
giving is not observed so generally
in this section as it is in the New Eng
land States, where it may be regarded
as fixed institution although ma
ny families look forward to it with
great anxiety as the time when all the
members of the household will be
gathered benea' the branches of the
family tree In setting apart this day
as a season of thanksgiving the Gov
ernor says -" Tn the merciful Provi-
dence of the Infinite Father, the sea-
sons of seed time and harvest have
passed. and the abundant fruits of the
year, with its hopes and its memories,
have been gathered up. He hath not
withdrawn from us the protection and
beneficence vouchsafed to our fore
fathers, but hath remembered US, also,
in His loving kindness.
Our civil and religious institutions
founded upon principles of equality
have exempted US from the evils of
intolerance, anarchy and tyranny; our
commercial and industrial pursuits
have been prosperous and peaceful
the means for our intellectual, and
moral, and religious culture have been
greatly augmented we have enjoyed
relations of tranquility and peace with
the nations Of the earth, and unwonted
health has prevailed in all our borders.
Thanks and praise for these and in
Vulnerable other blessings of kindred
characters enjoined upon Us by the
most impressive considerations of pa
triotism, and the most solemn obliga-
tions of religion; and / recommend to
the people of New Jersey, that forsa-
king and forgetting all the cares of
life, they meet in their solemn assem-
blies, and there, in manner and form
approved by their consciences, unite
with each other. and their fellow citi
zens of other States, in giving thank
offerings and praise to Almighty God
for all temporal and spiritual gifts;
and with our thanks let US mingle our
fervent prayers for an increase of these
benefactions to US, and to our poster
ity throughout all generations for the
poor, the sick, the neglected, and the
for the diffusion of pure
and undefiled religion-the only safe
guard of our liberties; and above all
let our supplications ascend that each
of US may finally be led by penitence,
and faith in the merits of the Divine
Redeemer, to enjoy the blessed con-
of the Christians hope in
heavenly rest.
