"IHE DEALINGS OF GOD WITH OUR
| NATIoN."-We hope our readers will not
fail to read, from beginning to end, the
excellent discourse delivered by Rev. J.
S. Lennon in the Presbyterian Church,
Ebensburg, on Thanksgiving day, and
published on the outside and portion of
the inside of this paper. Its utterances
on all-important topics are eminently
truthful, brave and bold, and cannot fail
to strike responsive chord in the great
heart of the people. It has been the
custom of late, among certain classes,
to decry the institution of Thanksgiving,
and to sneeringly ask, What haze ICE, as
indiUiduals or as a nation, that zee should
be thankful unto God ?" This discourse
is especially adapted to the case of all
such ungrateful, unbeieving bigots, and
returns an answer to their wicked sneers
and doubtings which should carry con-
viction and cause them to forever droop
their heads in shame.
The PITTsBURa CoMMERcIAL.-Al-
though only comparatively new publi-
cation, this journal has been conducted
from the beginning with so much genius,
ability and vigor, and with such eminent
regard for the public requirement, that it
now ranks as the very first daily in West
ern Pennsylvania. We take it, and are
free to say we couldn't well get along
without it. To those of our readers who
are thinking of subscribing for daily,
and who desirs to subscribe for live
daily, we recommend the Commercial,
confident that it will give full and entire
satisfaction. See prospectus in another
column.
SOLDIER SHoT.-A few days since,
while two soldiers were riding on horse
back in the vicinity of Hoppels Mill,
Carroll township, this county, they were
fred upon by some person in ambush, and
one of them wounded in the ancle by a
bullet. The motive for this unprovoked
outrage is net known, but it is most likely
to be found in the deeply-rooted feeling of
antipathy entertained by large number

THE "SUNDAY LAw."-If you want to
get "tght," set your bottle Saturday night,
aud take it to the house where you board
