Thanksgiving,

APPROXIMATION BY THE PRESIDENT.
By the President of the United
States A proclamation. The pro-
gress Of the season has again enabled
the husbandman to garner the fruit of
successful toll. Industry has been
generally well rewarded. We are at
peace with all nations, and tranquil
ty, with few exceptions, prevails at
home. Within the past year we have
in the main been free Of the ills which
have elsewhere affected our kind. If
some of US have had calamities there
should be occasion for sympathy with
the sufferers by those who have been
more favored. therefore recommend
that on Thursday, the thirtieth day
of November next, the people meet
at their respective places of worship
and there make the usual acknOwl-
ments to Almighty God for the bless
ings He has conferred upon them, for
their merciful exemption from evils,
and invoke His protection and kind
ness for their less fortunate brethren
whom in his wisdom He has deemed
it best to chastise.
In faith whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
State to be affixed. Done at the City
Of Washington, this twenty-eight
day of October. in the year OF our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-One. and of the Independence
of the United States the ninety-sixth.

work OF elevating the standard and increas-
ing the efficiency OF Common Schools, and
which Ohio has. as yet, scarcely tried. i
Rllude, o~fcourse. to Normal schools, . "Oc-
casionally an institution not at all connected
with the public schools does a most excellent
work. The Grand River Institute at Austin
burg, in Ashtabula county, deserves honor
able mention in this connection. Under Its
Principal. Mr.. Tuekerman, 10 Is taking very
nearly the position Of Normal School, and

Of Ashtabula county, and that part OF Lake

Editor ChrcaieJe dear sir, NOT
often seeing anything In your valuable
paper, in the way of local items from
this section, / thought perhaps a few
general items would not be amiss.
The farmers are pretty generally
through with their harvest, which
promises abundance; although l hear
some complain Of the wheat not being
$50 well filed, as appearance would
make it, and since the great scare of
the potato bug has worn off, there
will no doubt bea good turn out of that
vegetable. The throng Of harvest being
over, the farming community may be
seen thronging our stores and places of
trade, which makes business very
brisk In our town; the Mechanical de-
dartment in every branch is busy, the
merchants are throng; while the town
is building up with the construction of
several fine buildings, and even the old
ones are undergoing an entire change
of color. This will be found the place
for the farmer and trading community,
and you viii always find ready sale for
your wool, your grain, and in fact
everything for the Merchant, and be
assured that you viii get the highest
market price. Look to it farmers your
interests are near at home.

Mr.. J.E. Follansbee, special Agent
of the Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company, called upon US few days
since. with whom we had the pleasure
of giving the subject of Life Insurance
in general, and the way the Union Mn-
tual. in particular, have of doing the
business. a thorough investigation from
the official reports of the Insurance De

aur readers, that we were SO well pleas

vested in il ourselves, and can heartily
commend it to our friends. The official
ranorfs above referred to show that the
Union Mutual is second to none in Its
economy of management. The re-
narkable low ratio of losses to mear
amount at risk for the last six year
shows the Company to be very careful
in its selection of lives. The invest
