THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents third annual message Will
be found in the TELEGRAPH to day. 1t is the
Presidents ablest and best message IL
commences by saying to the law-maKlng
branch of the government that it is gratliy
to be able to state that during the past year
success has generally attended the ehofI 10
execute all the laws found on the statute
books. The policy has been, not so mach 10
inquire into the wisdom of the laws alreaoy
enacted, as to learn their special intent, ana
enforce them accordingly.
After stating that the past year has been,
under wise Providence, one OF general pros
perity to the nation, but that it has, however,
been attended with more than usual chastise-
ments, in loss of life and property by storm
and fire, which called forth the benevoience
of human nature in own country and
others in giving relief to the sufferers, the
President brings directly the affairs of the
nation before Congress and makes such re-
commentators and suggestions as he thinks
worthy of consideration. He first speaks of
our relation with foreign countries, and then
of the internal affairs of our own country.
have only time and space this week to say
that the President is generally wise and
iudicious in his recommendations and sug-
gestions The Presidents policy manifested
by the message, is to execute the Jaws as he
finds them, rather than to have any special
policy OF his own to secure the passage Of
laws by Congress to enforce on the people
either with or without their consent.
The message is SO clear and plain, and SO
free from ambiguity, that all can understand
it. And it needs but to be read to be ap-
preciated. And it is with pleasure we lay it
entire before our readers so soon after it's de-
livery to Congress.

AN OLD TINE Marriages
hundred years ago in England are des-
cribed in an old paper thus: Married in
June, 1850 Mr.. VIM. Donklin, con.
siderable farmer of Great Tossom, near
Both5ury,in the County of Cumberland
to Miss Eleanor Shotten, an agreeable
young gentlewoman of the same place
The entertainment on this occasion was
very grand, there being no less than 1870
quarters of lamb, A quarters of veal, 90
quarters ofmutton, and great quantity
of beef 10 hams, with suitable number
of chickens, &C., which was concluded
with eight half-ankers Of brandy made
into punch 10 dozen of cider, great
many gallons of wine, and 90 bushels OF
malt made into beer. The company con
sisted of $50 ladies and gentlemen, who
concluded with the music of % tddlers
and pipers, and the whole was conducted
with the utmost order and unanimity.

MACE AND CoBURN.-About the hour
when the rest of humanity were pitching
into turkey, etc, the above gentlemen
were inficting sundry punches and
knocks upon the heads of each other in
the vicinity Of New Orleans, for the pun
pose Of determining which was "the
best man." Eleven rounds were fought
when the little game was declared a
draw" and the combatants hauled off fol-
repairs. Can't those fellows be induced
to go out among the Apaches just about
this time?

How JAMIE CAME HoME,-The poem,
How jamie Came Home, by Will NJ.
Carleton, found its way into the TELE
GRAPH this week as much by accident as
design. Except some defects in versifi
cation it is however good, noble poem,
and we'll worth the space it occupies.
But as Carleton writes some poetry with
out imperfection in verse and measure,
as we'll as good in sense, and as selectionn
can be made from his poems which are
unobjectionable, it is scarcely justifia BILE
to give place to any as imperfect as How
Jamie Came Home.

THANKSGIVING passed off in this city as
pleasantly as usual and perhaps rather more
quietly. The Baptists, Congregationists and
Methodists, united, held religious services at
the Methodist Church where Elder Clark OF
this city preached an able discourse. The
EpiscopaliGns held their usual Thanksgiving
services at the Episcopal Church. And the
Irish and German Catholics held their usual
Thanksgiving services in their respective
we can not say. Judging from the number
at the Methodist Church we should think the
attendance was not general. Many more
probably partook of a Thanksgiving Dinner
than participated in religious exercises.

! lie place would insure great caution in
making recommendations A salutary
lesson has been taught the careless and
dishonest servant in the great number of
prosecutions and convictions of the last
two years It is gratifying to notice the
favorable change which is taking place
throughout the country in bringing to
punishment those who have proved re-
creant to the trusts confided to them, and
in elevating to public office none but
those who possess the confidence of hon
est and virtuous men, who it will ALWAYS
be found, comprise the majority of the
community in which they live. In nv
message to Congress one year ago, ur
gently recommended reform in the civil
service of the country In conformity
with that recommendation, Congress, in
the ninth section of an act making appro.
priations for sundry civil expenses of the
Government, and for other purposes, ap-
proved March Sd, 1871, gave the necessa
~ authority to>the executive to inaugu
rate q civil service reform, and placed
upon him the responsibility of doing so
under the authority of said act. I con
vened board of gentlemen eminently
qualified to prepare rules and regulations
to effec: the reform Their labors are
not yet complete, but it is believed they
will succeed in devising plan which
can De adopted, to the great relief of the
executive, 1.-THE heads of departments, and
members Of Congress, and which will re
dound to the true interest of the public
service. At all events the experiments
shall have faithful trial.
CONCLUSION.

erations Of the Government during the
last year, and made such suggestions as
occur to me to be proper Tor your consid

that your combined action will be wise,
statesmanlike, and in the best interest of
the whole country.

There is also an apparatus, within the contro

Newfoundland has seen. Both the shore
fishery and that of Labrador are unusually
good and late accounts represent the herring
as very abundant on Labrador, SO that the
catch will probably be large. The cod is well
cured, and owing to the continuance of fine
weather, will be stored in prime condition.
