THANKSGIVING DAY-To-day having boen ap-
nointed as q day Of Thanksgiving and prayer, both
bv the President Of the United States and the City
Fatbarz no naper will be issued from this Office
until Saturday morning. It has been always Gus
tomarv. heretofore, for the city to celebrate its
own thanksgiving day separate from that OF the
Union or of the State, but We suppose our WISE
men considered that wo were too poor at present
to spare two days from work, and that, therefore,
it was best to lump the business. The punclpai
food for reflection on thanksgiving day in ma
Honal point Of view, will be- that bad as things
are, they might have been great deal worso; put'
mnn;c,na1lv snealing, our causes for gratitude are
much more nositiye. The city has been spared
the visitation Of any fatal epidemic ali tlle "nen
we had every reason to expect and dreau such
catastrophe, and we arc gradually-and, IN somo
respects, rapidly-regaining prosperous ana
peaceful condition. When another year rolls round
we hope that the merging of the national ana the
city thanksgiving days into one may be more ap-
propriate.
THE PosroFF1cE will be open this day from
o'clock to 10 o'clock A. NJ, and from o'clock to 3
o'clock P. M. #
