Thanksgiving Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE follow
ing proclamation has been issued
The approaching close OF another
year brings with it tho occasion for
renewed thanksgiving and acknowl
edgment TO the Almighty Ruler Of tho
universe of the unnumbered merces
He has bestowed upon us Abundant
harvests have been among the oIewards
of industry. With local exceptions
health has been among the blessings
enjoyed; Tranquility at home and
peace with other nations have prevail.
cd. Frugal industry is regaining its
merited recognition and its merited re-
wards-gradually under the providence
of God-surely as we trust. The nation
is recovering from tho lingering re-
suits OF a dreadful civil strife. For
these and all tho other mcreies vouch-
safed, it becomes us as people to re-
turn heartfelt and grateful acknowl,
edgment, and with our thanksgiving
for blessings We may unite in prayers
for the cessation of local and tempo
rary suiferings. | therefore recon-
mend that on Thursday, November
9th, the people meet in their respect
i've ,plaoes Of worship TO make their
Acknowledgements to Almighty God
for His bounties and His protection,
and oifcr to Him prayers for their
continuance.
In witness whereof / have set my
hand and caused the seal OF the
United States to be affixed. Done
at the City Of Washington this l4th
day of October, 1873, and Of the In
dependence of the United States the
ninoty-seventh. U. 5. GRANT.
By the President
HAMILTON FIsH,
Secretary of State.

the Prerailing Prosperi.ys

The Grant leaders last fall promised
the people unboundcd prosperity and
the laboring classes high wages and
constant employment should they re-
elect their idol-Grant. If Greeley
was elected they said the finances
would be disturbed, banks would sus-
pend, manufactures would stop and
the laborer be left without employ
ment, etc. Well, Grant was elected
What is the state OF the case today /?
But one year has elapsed, and such
are the news items, found below, which
are given in every daily paper we
pick up. What's the mattcrH
Owing to the present condition of
financial affairs, the Ivanhoe paper
mill of Paterson, N. j., has been closed
and 1876 persons are thus thrown out
of employment For the same reason
work on tho Easton and Amboy Rail.
road will be discontinued.
BosToH, October 24.-The Atlantic
mills at Lawrence closed last evening
for the remainder OF the week, and
will run only four days in the week,
for the present. Tho nail mills of the
Bay State iron works have suspended
operations, and 260 men hGyo been
discharged.
New YORK, October 24.-Thc World
says: A gentleman recently returned
from Connecticut represents manufac-
turing interests in that state as in an
unfortunate condition. From $4,000
to 10000 operatives and factory hands
had already been thrown out of en-
ploymont.
The rate Of wages Of tho laborers in
tho Per nsylyania Railroad depots has
been reduced ia per cent At Cor.
lon's coal works, Edgewood station
an order was issued on Wednesday
discharging all unmarried men. The
married men then held meeting and
proposed to work half time if the un-
married men were allowed TO remain
but the proposition was rejected BY
tho employers, and tho men were
turned adril.
The Temple Iron Works, OF Berk'
county, have decided to blow ont theil
furnace at tho Temple station on the
East Pennsylvania Railroad, in the
course of q week or ten days. Their
mining operations have ceased, and
some 500 men have in consequence
been thrown out Of employment. A
general stagnation OF the iron trade il
the reason assigned.
The managers Of the Cambria iror
works, JohnstowI, announce their de
termination to keep the mills and
furnaces going all winter if possible
and to pay in full in cash rs long as il
can be obtained. Tho orders for their
manufactures bave fallen of largely
since tho financial arrangements bo
gan, and just now no new ones are
coming in. 1t would, they say, be tc
tho advantage of the company 10 close
tho mills al once, but as this would
throw very large number of men ou,
of employment, and result inevitably
in great suffering, IL will not bc done
until absolutely necessary.
FAiLED.-The Great Western Iron
Works, at Brady's Bend, Armstrong
county, have failed. The immense
business of the firm is brought to q
stand still. Hundreds OF families are
left in destitute condition, without
employment and means 10 live THROUGH
the winter
Such news are certainly not very
refreshing to business mon or to th,
laboring classes.

He SPEAKs.-Ex. President johnson
has been sojourning in Washington
for several weeks past, looking after
his $4,000, which Jay Cooke & Co
gobblcd up. lie was serenaded one
night last week by his numerous
friends in tho National Capitol, and
as usual made speech, and In his re-
marks he scored "tho government
and the Credit MobiIiors and Salary
grabbcrs most effectually. Those pub
licans think the speech in bad taste.
Remarkable, that a Mobilier or grab
Der should talk about taste, after what
they tlYc done.

PRETTY HEAvY.--The United States
Grand Jury, at Pittsburgh last week,
found three true bills against ex.Post
Master Stewart, Of that city. One is
for embezzlement, another for forg
cry and the third for perjury. We
should say that is piling it on pretty
well. There is no doubt of his guilt,
but will be ever be triedy We say
no. Tho Administration dare not try
its big criminals. 1t has let too many
such cases pass without trial, and
to try the brave Col. Stewart, who
has so faithfully served his country
would raise fuss in the loyal family
Had he defrauded the government out
Of 5000 or less ho would be pro
nounced q rascal and sent to the pen
itentiary, but as hc has successfully
stolen $4,000 he is gentleman
and will of course escape. If he Il
convicted he will be pardoned, because
of his liberal payment into the Radi
cal corruption fund to elect Hartranfl
and Grant, who first robbed and now
arrest him for larceny, because h,
was trying TO make himself whole.

A LITTLE LIouT-Tho Democrats
of the susquchanna and Wyoming
Assembly district elected one of the
mcmbors--R. r. Littlo--at the late
election, and lost the other by less
than 100 votes. When light begins TO
shine in regions as dark as Susquc-
hanna county, there is evidence of a
general break up in that bcnightcd
region. Tho Radical nominees in
Bradford county only succeeded by a
few votes.

their Governor and majority of the

The .ssse ssor,s Oath.

AS the assessing season approaches,
we deem it but proper that the rela-
ton between the assessor and tho tax
payer should be kept before all. Too
many persons are prone to abuse this
officer without knowing what his du-
ties are or the obligations no has as
sumed. We therefore lay tho oath
before our readers which each Asses
sor and assistant Assessor must take
before entering upon his official duties.
This document reads as follows;
Clearfsid County, So:
You dosolemnly swear or affirm that you win sup
port the Constitution Of tho United States and tho
Constitution Of Pennsy yyaniaI that you villas As
SCISSOR for your borough orownship,use your utmost
diligence and ability TO discover and ascertain all
the property, real aud personal, within your dis
trct, and all other objects subject to taxation by
the laws Of this Commonwealth, and take an ac-
curate account of tho same and that you will
Justly and honestly, to the best Of your judgment,
and value every separate lot, piece or tract
of land, with the improvements thereon, and all
personal property made taxable by the laws Of
this Commonwealth within your borough or town
ship, at the rate or price which you shall, altor
due examination and consideration, believe the
same would sell for, If sold singly and separately

that you will rate all Offices aud posts Of profit,
trades and occupations, at what you shall believe
to bo the actual yearly income arising therefrom
and that you win perfom your duty as Assessor Of
your said borough or township, with honesty and
fidelity, according to the laws of this Common
wealth, without fear, favor or affection, hatred,
malice or il-will.
Let those who arc uncharitable
enough, and who arc constantly find
ing fault with the Assessor and his
work, read this oath and then ask
themselves this question: GLOW much

this obligation had it been enjoincd

have told the whole truth.
