Our annual Thanks giying is clos" at
hand, calling upon us as people for an
expression of gratitude to the Giyer OF all
things for the bounties and blessings OF
the year These have been granted IN iall
measure. The harvest has been album
dant. Our granaries are full to bursting
We have moi only bread enough to feed
the millions OF our own country. but have
il too spare for the destitute oil Other
countries in which the harvest failed
Europe looks to us to supply the deficiency
in her crops, and the reports of our rapid
ly increasing exports show that we are
doing that service most faithfully 1t has
been long time since our commerce
abroad presented so favorable an aspect
as now. Our ships again find profitable
employment in carrying our products.
The course Of gold has at last been turned
toward n. afFording balance that we
trust may aid substantially in the resun1p-
ton of sound currency.
With rich haryesis we also have the
blessings Of peace. May the cloud thai
has arisen concerning Cuba pass away
without sending war upon Us, Peace I'M
der such government a. ours, where the
largest liberty : enjoyed, and where in
diyiduals have ample opportunity to I'M
prove for their own advantage ali The
powers which they possess. is blessing
indeed. for which we cannot be too thank
full to the kind Providence which watches
over us. With our experience OF the des-
olating effects of war we are well able to
appreciate the benign influence of peace.
From the ravages of pestilencc we have
also been preserved during the year. A
portion of the South has been scourged
severely by disease, but the area oven
which it extended was very limited, and
the suffering and death but triile in com
parison to our vast territory and large pop
ulation. We have been exempted from
sickness in a wonderful degree. Last
wear the red flag was raised III many OF
our cities, particularly in New England
where health usually prevails, TO indicate
the presence Of dreaded ntagion, Int
this year the warning signal has been al
most unknown.
No national calamity has bcsallen ~.
unless we reckon the financial panic -uch
which after all may bring more gOo<i than
evil. The nation is prosperous from tie
Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Cana
das to the Gulf. The condition OF the
South has we trust been improving
through the year, although there is Vet 4
great work to be done to establish the
southern communities upon stable ground.
The people feel confidence in the admin
i,tration at Washington, and believe that
Congress will not forget the lessons Of the
year. and will act with circumspection and
prudence in the important concerns that
are TO claim their attention in the coming
session.
Let US then be thankful for the iayors OF
the year. spending the day that has been
appointed by the National and State En-
ecutives for shat purpose in gratitude to
Him who gives the harvest, and in the gen
erous hospitality. the family reunions and
home delights by which the day is so APP
propriatclv distinguished.

.'Potosi," of Windsor, n. =.

ST. JonS, n. b., May 22d, 1858.
Mr.. JAArs |. FELLOWS, Chemist.
DEAR SIR In May, 1866. was attacked
with a severe dry cough. which continued in
harshness for some time, when | commenced
cxpectorating thick, wbitish substance, then
raised a greenish yellow and slate -colored
matter. then bleeding of the lungs set in and
other symptoms of very alarming character
showed themselves. | consulted the leading
physicians in Philadelphia and other cities,
who gave me no encouragement, as my dis
ease was Consumption. | spared no expense
to obtain relief, but found none. In August
l had fallen in flesh from lj5 to 1876 pounds,
and sinking rapidly every day. My friends
in Philadelphia advised me leave the ship and
- home. At home they considered my case
hopeless, and wished me to remain there and
not die in a foreign country. l visited st.
John in October of the same year on my way
to Pniladelphia to join my ship, and was ad-
vised by stranger. who noticed my shrunken
form and racki1g cough, to try your Com
pound Syrup Of Hypophosphites; and, as
drowning man will grasp at straws, saw
ray of hope IN the suggestion. and procured
a bottle The effect warranted further trial,
and bought dozen bottles, and left st. John,
and have been knocking about the Atlantin
ever since.
AS this is the first time have visited your
city since, l feel under an obligation to let
you know the effects produced by this Syrup.
| continued taking the remedy regularly. AT
first my appetite improved-I regained
st!eEgth-then my cough gradually left me.
and finally the eXpectoration ceased; and
although the benefit was gradual, l could
note the change for the better every day, so
that after having taken ten bottles | consid-
cred myself well. This was about five months
from the time commenced taking the Syrup.
a short time after had considerable trouble,
and feeling some of the old symptoms re-
turning, finished the other two bottles; and
now | consider myself as well as.I ever was
in my life. My present weight is 1872, seven
pounds above my usual healthy standard.
My nerves are good, my appetite good, and
general health excellent. l heartily recon-
mend your Syrup to all persons troubled with
any difficulties or disease Of the Lungs or
Nervous System, firmly believing that had
not used it, | would not now be living.
Hoping this letter may meet the eyes of
others similarly affected, and induce then. to
Use the same means ofcu
Iremain yours very truly,

iinufs to possess vigorous health.

A PERPETUAL PREsIDENr.---Leo,
the Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, writing about
the Inauguration, says:
The first impression upon all by
the unprecedented magnificence of
this inaugural celebration and the
adulation bestowed upon the hero of
the day is that Gen. Grant is consid-
cred as President for life. The
whole proceeding with all its pagean-
try, and its tumultuouS cheers for
the one man, reminds one OF coro-
nation. 1t is, in fact, sort of mass
convention for the denomination Of
Grant for third term. He, himself
It's believed and asserted by his in.
Inmates, hes no more doubt of his
third election than he has Of the fac
that he has been twice elected
Nothing is more desired by him thar
. unanimousTe-e election, and to &C
conplish this no will endeavor to ap
peasc, if not to conciliate, the South
ern people now opposed to him
That he will endeavor to bring thu
South to his support there can be nj
