We listened to an exce1lent DISCOURSE

We listened to an excellent discourse,
on last Thanksgiving day at the Methodist
Church, delivered by the Rev. A. c.
Huntley The speaker dwelt at length
on the subject of gratitude, and recount
ed many reasons why we ought as indi-
viduals, and as people to be thankful
He showed how wonderfully we had been
blessed with OVERLOOKING harvests, how
no deadly disease had swept its thousands
into the grave as in other lands, and how
prosperity prevailed throughout the
whole country. Passing to questions OF
National interest he enlarged with great
force on the causes of our civil strife,
showing the peculiar circumstances which
brought about the war. He condemned
Slavery In no measured terms, quoting
the expression of Jefferson who said II
tremble for my country when | remember
that God is just, and stating that the
prophetic warning had proven to have
been wise and correct, he advocated Uni
versal Suffrage as the only safe plan of
procedure, and as total extinguisher
of the vile iniquity. He thought that if
the nation should adopt Justice to all,
hatred to none as its motto, and choose
virtue and true goodness as It's guides,
that it would pass into state of prosper
ity which would be unequalled in the
whole world. The speaker occupied
forty-fve minutes and was listened to
from first to last with profound attention.

SKATING.-The recent cold snap put a
sheet of ice on the river strong enough
to bear, and the skaters have been enjoy
ing a merry time There is some talk of
getting up a skating club, but we don t
know as anything will come of it. If the
young men would take hold of the mat
ter in earnest We might have skating here
all winter at d very moderate expense.
The river opposite Mr.. Richards new
vessel could be flooded every time the
snow came, which would give Rink far
superior to those in the cities which ac-
comodate thousands at fifty cents each.
We hope some one will move in the mat
ter, for skating as an exercise is invigor-
ating and healthful for boys and girls,
men and women.

Down among the dead men, are at
this moment thousands who might have
been alive and well had they used that
great life preserver, Plantation Bitters.
Let the living lay it to heart that they
are the best known remedy for all dys-
peptic complains, stomach derang ements
ami general debility. As delicious cor
dial, combined with great tonic virtues,
their equal cannot be found.
Delicate Females Clergymen, Mer-
chants, Lawyers and persons of sedentary
habits particularly. those who are weak
and suffer with mental depression, are
greatly benefited bv these Bitters.

Look OUT FOR TRAMPs. The follow
ing item we clip from an exchange; as
many of our citizens have been victims OF
burglars, we give this dodge publicity
that our friends may be on their guard
Peddlers are traversing the country of
fering to sell splendid paste for FURNISH
ing silver, and always asking for silver
ware TO try its merits upon. At several
places where they haye been, burglaries
occurred within few days, and it is sup
posed that the peddling is only a pretense
to learn who has silverware and where it
is kept, SO as to give accompliees knowl-
edge Of the best places to visit.
