The snpproaching close q another yea<
brinrs with h the 0ccslon. for renewed
Thanksgiving and acknowledgment to the
Almighty Ruler of the universe OF the I'M
numbered mercies which He has bestowed
upon US. Abundant harvests have been
among the rewards OF industry, with local
exceptions: health has been among the
blessings enjoyed; tranquility Mt home, ana
peace with other nations have prevailed;
frugal industry Is regaining its mcrited re-
cognition, its merited reward. Gradually
but under the providence Of God surely, ~
we trust, the nation Is recovering from the
lingering results OF dreadful cfvn STRIFE;
for these and all the other mercies vouch-
safed it becomes us as o people To return
heartfelt and grateful acknowledgements
and with our Thanksgiving we may unite
prayers for the cessation Of local and tenn
porary suffering. I, therefore, recommend
that on Thursday, the nth day of Noveni.
Der next, the people meet in their respective
places OF worship to make their aelenowl-
e<lgments TO Almighty God for His bounty
and His protection, and to offer 70 HIM
prayers for their continuance. tE

character of "Moneypenny," displayed

verdict from the audience present. Mr..
Ringgold who personated an engineer,
and Mr.. Rockwell, a manufacturer
who was shot too early in the play, met
with good deal OF sympathy and per-
formed their parts well. Miss lone
Burke is deserving Of special mention.
She is an actress OF more than ordina-
~ talent and will doubtless become
quite q favori;e among our theatre

The present company at the Opera

charged with taking from a number of

effect that two ladies and himseli had
watched him for several days and that
they had seen him take money out OF
the letters and put it in his rockets, and
furthermore that when arrested several
packages OF money were found on him
which corresponded to the sums cent in

or borrow money as formerly, are un-
der the absolute necessity OF Curtailing
their scale OF operations, and the
negroes will leave the State this fall
and winter, go that many of the farmers
will be without hands next year. This
exodus OF laboriug people has unsettled
everything, and lands can hardly be

suit OF this condition OF affairs will be

Scott left in this city last week the draft
OF bill for the aid OF the Northern
Pacific and Texas Pacific Railroads,
providing for loan by the government
to the two roads OF fifty million dollars
in bords OF twenty-five millions each.
1t is also rumored that Senator VIM
dam, OF Maine, is the engineer Of the
movement in the Senate, and that
combination OF western and southern
interests is now being effected in Phi.a-
telphia and New York to be ready for
action Immediately after the holidays.
Seventy-eight Senators are claimed as
having been secured in aid OF the
measure. Mr.. Houghton, representa-
tive from the southern dstrict OF Cali
fornia, says he will favor aid to the
Texas Pacific railroad in a sufficient
amount to enable the company to COM
plete it's road to Fort Washington, so s
to make its Texas money and land
grant subsidies available. This will
probably be middle measure proposed
as a compromise.
