A DAY or THANKSGIVING should be one
Of peace and quietness--and not only OF
cessation from labor and business, but from
all the realities or even 'the appearance OF
evil" IL was surely never intended that 1t
should be devoted to excuses OF any kind;
and least Of all to dissipation in the hun
,lreiS Of ways which lie before the peo-
ple Of cities and towns on occasions OF lei
sure. That we have all reason to he CRATE
ful and TO give THANKS to Almighty God Tor
our creation, preservation, redemption, and
all the blessings Of this life, every inteill-
gent man will admit. And the fact that We
have reason for this, should give solemnity L"
the time and season, when, is Il community,
we reverently acknowledge our dependence
on Divine Power, and ascribe praise and
glory to that Power for the untold and un-
numbered mercies we receive There IS
nothing in the day or the occasion thereof,
which should incite to or countenance the
least deviation from the motives and purpo-
ses for which it has been dedicated. Nor is
this abstinence which is here counselled, at
all incompatible. with the rational ENJOY
ment on this day. Of the delightful assoca-
tons which cluster around the home and the
hearth, and which of themselves should be
sufficient to satisfy the heart Of every good
citizen, and make him doubly thankful and
grateful.

POTTER, we observe, is to have a Sen
ator. Hon. ISAAC BENSON, our bachelor
friend who hangs out his shingle at Cou-
dcrsport, is again on the course for seat
in the Pennsylvania Legislature, and this
time in the Upper House." The Con-
gention which placed him in nomination
Only balloted one hundred and eighty
hight times before reaching that result.
] n "great travail brought they him forth )"
but he will be easily elected, and will
make a most capital Senator. Could the
ladies' of Potter vote, BENSON would have
teveral thousand majority. He will the
frst day of the session introduce a bill for
he extension of woman's sphere.
So says the Wellsvilla Free Press; But
be must cnlighten the editor little in
egard to an occurrence which took place
/ n our Borough nearly two years ago, in
Which friend ISAAC took to himself a
loIp-mate, thereby forever Withdrawing
himself from the honorable society of
! Bachelors. Could our ladies vote, they
you'd all vote for him, for they are always
en the side of truth and right; but we
haye MEN enough to elect him.
