THANKSGIVING DAY.-To-day having boon up
pointed as day Of thanksgiving and prayer, both
by the President Of the United States and tho City
Fathers, no paper will be issued from this Office
until Saturday morning. It has been always GUS
tomnry, heretofore, for the city to celebrate it's
own thanksgiving day separate from that of tho
Union or OF tho State, but we suppose our wise
men considered that wo were too poor mt present
to spare two days from work, end that, therefore,
it was best to lump tho business. Tho principal
food for reflection on Thanksgiving day, in ma
tional point Of view, will be, that, bad as things
are, thoy might have been great deal worse; but,
municipality speaking, our causes for gratitude are
much more positive The city has been spared
the visitation Of my fatal epidemic at time when
VIC had every reason to expect and dread such n
catastrophe, and VIC gradually-and, in some
respects, rapidly-reganng o prosperous and
peaceful condition. Whom another year rolls round
we hope that tho merging Of the national and the
city thanksgiving days into one may be moro ap-
propriate.
THE PosroFF1cE will be open this day from
o'clock to 10 o'clock A. NJ, and from o'clock to
O'Clock P. NJ.
