Thanksgiving.

We are called upon by our rulers to
lay aside all unnecessary labor and repair
to our respective places Of public worship,
on Thursday next, there unitedly to rem
der public thanksgiving to the Supreme
Ruler Of the universe from whose boun.
tiful hand we have received innumerable
blessings. Every heart loyal to God will
respond to this call. 1t may not be al.
ways convenient to follow the prescribed
method OF worship and thanksgiving, bat
all who have any realization Of the ex-
tent Of our obligations to the Divine
Providence for the rich blessings Of this
life, temporal and spiritual, will feel and
manifest in some way, their gratitude.
The custom of setting apart one day in
the autumn Of each year, after the gath.

thanksgiving, originated in the early set

that it has been adopted by state after

More About Servant Girls.

Editor Of the Register;
Having made full inquiries in New
York in relation to the procuring OF
Swedish girls, would explain briefly that
it is now impossible to hire them as they
debark in New York, owing to the great
demand for them. The only way in which
they can be obtained, is to secure mum
Der Of names Of persons who are willing
to pay their passage over from Sweden,
and who will contract after they reach
here, to keep them until they shall have
worked out that amount forty dollars
That there is risk incurred, as regards the
capability Of servants thus obtained the
steamship company do not deny. But
they Of the anchor line say, that thus far,
they have been very successful, and have
given almost universal satisfaction.
| think that by writing to tho Amcri
can Consul at Stockholm, an almost alb

be reached and if % persons can be found
in Middlcbury and adjacent towns, who

who will take the same plumber of girls, |

Mrs. Frances 4. ii. Post.

The St. Louis papers report the death
of Mrs. Frances A.. wife of Rev. DR..
Truman M. Post, of St. Louis, as having
occurred in that city at half past two
o'clock on Tuesday morning, November
3D..
Mrs. Post was the youngest but one of
the family Of two sons and eight daugh.
tiers, who grew to adult years, of the late
Daniel and Sarah Prentice Henshaw, Of
Middlebury, and was born October 26th
1909. Both brothers and the three
younger of the sisters are now deceased.
John p. X. lenshaw graduated at Mid.
dlebury College in 1908, was eminent as
preacher in Baltimore, and at his death
was much beloved in his diocese as Bish-
op of Rhode Island. OF the ladies of the
family, the late Mrs, Willard whose emf
nent career in female education COM
menced at Nlidd.ebury in 1907 was ac-
customed to speak, as in number and
personal qualities the most engaging of
those family clusters, of which in SO many
scenes, she had been the partial but dis.
eliminating observer All but the young
est were her pupils here and all probably
with their contemporaries, from one class
TO another, reflected in their characters
something Of that frankness and refine
ment, intelligence and courtesy, which
wide in their instructress, so pleasing a
combination. The immediate circle to
which Mrs. Post belonged, represented
still by few survivors not resident here,
is remembered as a chaplet of youthful
life and beauty Of its day, which every
village society welcomes successfully as
entering from girlhood into its attractions
Mrs. Post was regarded by these as one
whose solidity as well as amiableness at.
tached to her peculiarly the confidence Of
her companions. The promise of such a
character, with that of the polish Of cul.
ture these qualities had received,w was full.
filled in after life in spheres widening
with time, and more and more admired
as its influence was extended. Her mar.
rage occurred in 1885, her husband being
then Professor in the College at Jack
sonville, Ill. In l847 he removed to St
Louis where he has remained as pastor Of
a Congregational church. Her six child

daughters having families there,

The Spanish ImbrOgliO.

The war cloud seems to thicken. The
settlement Of the questions involved in
the Virginius affair must be a delicate
and difficult matter. 1t will need all the
wisdom and tact of our best statesmen
and large meas, re Of moderation and
iorbearance to accompany it. The
passions of the people upon both sides
are evidently aroused to the highest pitch
la a Republican form of government
where the people are the real rulers and
the officers servants, it is no easy matter
to avoid hasty and unwise action when
the passions of the people are so inhamed.
But we are not without hope. and faith,
that wiser counsels will prevail and war
will be averted. The statement that the
President and Cabinet are entirely con.
scious Of the gravity OF the situation, and
Of the sad results Of war, and that they
will by all honorable means seek to avert
it, comes to us as reinsurance, after all
the exciting rumors, and bloodthirsty de.
mands, and conflicting statements of the
position Of the executive departments Of
our government. That warlike prepare.
tons are in progress is undened Every
war vessel, all arsenals, forts. departments
Of the army and navy present scenes Of
activity and preparation. But this does
not necessarily mean war 1t is neces.
sary precaution Whether We shall need
to use them in actual conflict is another
thing,
W hat the exact status Of the difficulty
is, we do not know. 1t may be safely
asserted that no one outside Of official
circles does know And the unfortunate
thing about the whole matter is, that sem
sational journals can manufacture their
facts and then deducc their differences,
and that they are sufficiently devoid Of
principle to use their opportunity to in.
flame the excitable passions of the PEG.
pie. IF we understand the matter, there
is only one cause of complaint that is en-.
tircly settled. That is, the unseemly haste
in the executions and the barbarous in
humanity of the action anyway. We
ought certainly to make vigorous pro.
test against that, at all events. The
other questions, that is Of citizenship.
ownership of the vessel under whose pro.
lection she sailed, in what waters taken.
whether her mission did or did not work
a forfeiture Of rights of protection, &c.
are yet unsettled, and all action officially
taken must have reference to this un.
certainty. The people should suspend
judgment until the facts of the case are
settled.
1t is asserted that our demands upon
Spain are essentially contingent, and at
this stage Of proceedings, it seems prob.
ably the true state Of the case. 1t would
Of course, be an embarrassing position for
the United States Government to take
it a positive demand for the Virginius
had been made, and Spain should subse
quently prove that the vessel was moi
entitled to our protection.

Tweed Found Guilty.
New YoRK, Nov. |

New York, Nov. 10.
The Tweed jury have brought in a
verdict of guilty on all the counts. At
10 O'Clock this morning the jury on the
Tweed trial came into court and asked
for further instruction on the fourth count.
Judge Davis explained the charge to be
misconduct in place of trust, by certifying
to those warrants which he was bound to
audit, and reviewed the evidence in sup.
port of the allegation, chieAy certificates
of audit by the defendant, and the sum of
over a million dollars from the proceeds
of warrants to his account, and drawn
from the bank from May to September
After ten minutes absence the jury re.
turned with a verdict Of guilty on all the
counts. The defence took exceptions to
any verdict except general verdict on
all the counts. The judge on discharging
the jury thanked them for the attention
given to the case The foreman, on the
part of the jury, returned thanks to the
court for the kindness shown them since
they were kept togather, and to each of
the officers having them in charge for the
delicate manner in which they performed
their disagreeable duty. Mr.. Graham
then moved an arrest of judgment on the
ground Of want of jurisdiction, and also
that the act of 1870 creating the con.
mission of audit was repealed by the act
of 1873. I
The court replied that it would DC a
useless waste Of time to argue, he was SO
convinced in mind on these points. Mr..
Graham replied that this answer was an
unnecessary woundiug Of the feelings Of
the counsel-to say that the argument on
tho points he raised would be an unncc.
essary waste of time. Judge Davis said
he had no such intentions, but simply that
his mind was made up on these points.
Mr.. Graham said the answers by the coun.
sci for the prosecution to points raised by
the defence all through were extremely
humiiating, calling them traing. Mr..
Graham urged that, considering the fal.
libllity Of human judgment, there ought
to be delay to hear argument on the went
of jurisdiction and on the repeal Of the
law of 1870, by the law OF 1878. Judge
Davis said he was satisfied On these
points-thcy ought to be heard by an.
other judge. Mr.. Graham said the
points were grave and allowed the court
to be grave. Delay in such cases would
be crcditable to the Judge, inasmuch as it
might turn out, if no delay was granted,
punishment of a degrading character had
been inflicted, which ought not to be in
flictcd, on man who once stood SO high
in the community; for his part he never
could look on n fallen face except with
pity. Judge Davis said he would hear
the argument tomorrow. Mr. Bartlett
said Mr.. Graham could not be ready hay.
ing had but two hours sleep out of
eighty. The judge said he would hear it
Friday-Mr Tremaine could be here on
Friday. District Attorney Phelps an.
nounccd that he would move the Inger-
soil case FOR trial on Monday. The ar.
gument, on motion for arrest of Judgment
was then fixed for Saturday Assistant
District Attorney Allen then asked that
the prisoner stand committed in the
meantime by order of the court

custody"

The Cuhnu Question.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 81.
The Herald, iu a double-lcaded cdto.
raj, argues that the news from Madrid
means war, and adds: "is it made evident
that war is now the only honorable issue
to the present complication of our rela-
tions with the Spanish republic. II is
clear. from the course OF the government,
that this is tho conviction at Washington,
and in view OF the naughty and. arrogant
attitude Of the Spanish ministry, and their
insulting pretcnsion to judge for us wheth-
or we have any ground of complaint,
their assumption that an American ship
on the high seas is subject to their NUM-
cipa laws, we believe this must be the
conviction Of the whole American people.
We therefore will welcome war, as we
are informed by our dispatches that the
Spanierds will welcome it, but we trust
for different reasons and in different
spirit. With the horrors and the cost
of war we are too familiar to enter upon
them lightly and in vein of bravado,
but we will accept them as the shortest,
readiest. safest and only practical issue
from position in which our tranquility
and our trade, the lives Of our citizens and
our sailors, and, indeed, our national hon.
or are daily at the mercy of a set of If.
responsible undorlings, whom we have
hitherto respected as the officers of an
established power, though they them
selves do not recognize or respect DEGREES
of that power.
WHAT TIE WORLD WANTS.
The World demands the immediate sub.
stiiution Of a more competent American
minister at tho court Of Madrid than Gen
Sick les, whose defects Of temper and char
actcr it says may any day tend to embroi
the two nations in war.
A BETTER OUTLOOK.
The Washington special of the Tribune
says there is a certainty that the situation
regarding Cuban affairs has very material
ly changed for the better within the las
twonty.tour hours. Dispatches from
Madrid to our authorities gave assurance!
of as favorable Il condition as could be ex
pectcd, 1t is intended on the part O
Spain to leave the United States no caus,
to complain.
WHAT OUR GOVERNMENT DEMANDS

of the percmptory demand presented by
our government to the Spanish cabinet
