in that direction. Happily it was a falls
one. The Waterman saw what be though
to be smoke issuing from the dry house.
but it proved to be steam, which the col

The Congregational Sunday School

The committee appointed to solicit
aid for the Michigan sufferers, reFor'
that they raised S131 in money. and from
two hundred to two hundred and fry
dollars worth Of clothing, bedding, etc.
The latter filled two large boxes, which.
together with the money, have been for
warded to Michigan.
Union services were held on Thanks

Thanksgiving day camesand went with
US as usual. Every shade of moral AID
social character sought it's own congenisi
enjoyment. Some attended church, and
by the aid of the sermon looked over the
past, with it's blessings and obligations of
gratitude, and joined in public praise.
Others, necessarily detained from
church, reviewed their own experiences
amidst the lights and shadows of life.
and with thankful hearts offered up the
incense of gratitude upon the affairs of
home. The greater proportion found
their highest enjoyment in roast turkey
and other good things at the table; while
a few satisfied their highest ambition in
pursuits and epjoyments of lower order.
The present Observance of Thanksgiving
has very little of that heartfelt gratitude
and religious devotion which character
lied its early history. Like stream that
starts with we'll defined banks, and in its
progress grows wider and shsllower, so
Thanksgiving day has deeenerated in
spirit and practice until its crystal water
have mingled with the dark and tumHl-
tuous tide of ingratitude and self-grstif
cation, which threatens to sweep away al
that is pure and good in the institution.
But one should thisday bring with it moth
ing better than the annual gathering Of
the scattered household, and the reunion
of happy hesrts, it yet has it's mission OF
good to the world, and should be perpet-
uated.

WAsHNGToN, May 9.-The follow
ing appeared in the Washington
National Republican yesterday: It is
aUthOritatively official that the state
ment Of the result Of the lab0Es OF the
JOintHigh Commissioner treaty b 70
be known as the treaty Of Washing
ton for the adjustment of claims for
injury alleged by the United States on
account of the escape of Confederate
cruisers from British ports, and depre-
datiOns committed by those vessels
during the late war in this country.
A tribunal Of arbitration Is TO be con-
stituted, to consist of citizens or sub
iects of both countries, by providing
for equal use of the Welles, st. Law
renee and other canals in the DOmin-
ion on the one hand, and Lake Michi-
gan and the st. Clair fats and canal
on the other, by providing for free
transit Of merchandise to and fro, as
well in the British possessions as in
the United States, and abOlishing pro-
visiOnal export duty on American
lumber on the river st. John. All
these provisions, concerning the fish
cries and commercial transit, are, Of
course, made contingent upon being
approved by the Congress Of the
United States and the British PGriia-
ment, the Parliament of Canada and
the Legislature of Prince Edwards
Island.
By these various stipulatiOns, all
the privileges of fishing, navigation
and transit accorded by the treaty OF
1854 are once more obtained, in better
form and without burdensOme eOndt-
tiOns of that treaty in the matter Of re-
ciprOcal impOrtatiOns. In regard to
the northwestern boundary line, the
treaty Of 1846 runs it in the middle Of
the channel which separates the con
tinent from VaucOuver'5 Island; but
several such channels exist.
Great Britain contends that the
channel treaty is in regard to the RO-
sariO straits, and the United States
contend that it is the Canal de HarO,
the two channels being separated by
the island Of San Juan. This ques-
tiOn having once been reported on by
a mixed Commission for the survey of
the line, the United States are not
content to refer it to another such
Commission, nor has it been deemed
convenient, even though such tribunal
be appointed by friendly sovereign.
The question of the San Juan bound
ary has been referred to the Emperor
Of Germany. The United States has
a strong case and is cOnfidant that the
possession Of the island of San Juan
will be awarded to our government.
