MAYORS 0FFIcR,

nouncenent Of the same by this my Proclama-
hon, and recommend that Thursday, the 29th
instant be set apart for the purpose.
The observance Of day OF Thanksgiving at
this season Of the year is sanctioned by time
honorel custom, and is peculiarly becoming q
Christina community. The blessings which are
continually vouchsafed to us demand that we
should occasionally turn aside from our daily
avocati,ns, and, as it we're, sanctify q secular
day BY united and heartfelt manifestations of
gratitue Q, by prayerful reflection, and by con-
trite su,plications.
In oder to give due effect and solemnity to
the OCCASION, every good citizen is invoked to
contribute something of example and precept
towaas the ful6lment of the duties which prop
erly blong to the day and to this end rec.
omuImd that the ordinary pursuits Of busi-
ness ie suspended, and that all denominations
assemble in their respective places of Worship
to reder thanks TO Almighty God for His
bosntess mercies, and 70 offer up supplica-
tons for continuance Of our civic and our
natioial prosperity.

Nj EplroR. Are We ever going to have
another fair Of the Metropolitan Mechanics
institute? If so, think it is time something
was oone towards making arrangements for it.
If mistake not, resolution was passed two
years ago to have an exhibition at that time.
Nov, w,however, an inducement will be offered
that ray not occur again soon; and think it
shoul be taken advantage Of by the members
of tht praiseworthy organization. The plan
/ prpose is fis: As large building will
havoc be erected for the inauguration ball on
the 4h of March, would it not be an economi.
cal pan to have building erected that shall
suffic for both purposes? This will be a
large saving to both the committee for the ball
and ne Mechanics Institute, and the fair can
be he'd either before or after the Inauguration,
as th latter may desire. The great number
OF stangers who will be in the city, will be
also. great inducement to have 1t at that time.
Let's have another exhibition by all means.
