National Thanksgiving Day.

By the President of the United States of
America. A proclamation. Reminded by the
changing seasons that it is time to pause in
our daily avocations and offer thanks to Al
mighty God for the mercies and abundance of
the year which is drawing to a close; the
blessings of a free government continue to be
vouchsafed TO us; the earth has responded to
the labor of the husbandman the land has
been free from pest1ence; internal order is
maintained, and peace with other powers has
prevailed. 1t is fitting at stated periods we
should cease from our accustomed pursuits
and from the turmoil Of our daily lives. and
unite in thankfulness for the blessings Of the
past, and the cultivation of kindly feelings
toward each other. Now, therefore. recogniz-
ing these considerations, I, U. s. Grant, Presi-
dent of the United States, do recommend to all
citizens to assemble in their respective places
of worship ON Thursday. 18th day of November
next. and express their thanks for the mercy
and favor of the Almighty God. and laying
aside all political contentious and all secular
occupations. to observe such day of thanks
giving and praise.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed Done at the City of Washington
on the Goth day Of October, in the year of our
Lord 1874, and the Independence of the United
States the goth.

A CHILD STRANGLED BY A CAT
A strange occurrence took place a
few mornings since in the family of
Mr.. Silas Doloway, engineer in Bah
cock, Fuller Il Co.'S new hat factory,
who occupies j. w. Canfield's house
on Mulberry street, in this village.
Mrs. Doloway is accustomed to leave
her babe, little girl 4 months old,
ON her bed up stairs while she does
her mornings work in the base,
ment, from where she could easily
hear the least noise. On the morn
ing in question she heard the little
one growing as usual, but finally
noticed the sounds ceased, and short
ly afterward heard strange gurg-
ling noise. Surprising that the child
had got its head under the beb-
clothes and was suffocating, she ran
up stairs to see about it, and found
the house cat with its nose in the
ohild's mouth. The child was
strangled black and was fighting
teebly with her hands. She caught
the child and shook it several times,
when it caught its breath and came
out all right. In a few minutes
more it would probably been
.strangled to death. Mrs. Doloway
Ihad to pull the cat off the child, so
eager was it to remain. 1t had a
paw on either side of the child's
head and had its nose pressed deep
ly into the child's mouth. The cat
was instantly killed, -Middieton, N.

POsTMASTER's DIFFICULTIES. -
Wednesday was day Of trouble to
Postmaster Ramsey and one also OF
accidents. First a man got mad be-
cause he could not get letter, and
was going to look for himself. Next
comes man who thought Ramsey
should give him a letter, and not
receiving it, made a remark that
made the custodian of Uncle Sans
mails to go for the man. The Post
masters dog took a hand in the
argument and bit it's master on the
foot. Later in the day Ramsey was
sitting on the counter waiting for
the stage, and in attempting to get
down his pistol was by some means
discharged, the ball passing through
his trowser's leg, grazing the skin
and lodging in the floor. At first he
thought he was shot; thought he
felt the blood trickling down, but on
examination this was found to be
imaginary. 1t was narrow escape.

DON'T SCoLD.-For the sake of
your children, don't do it. 1t is a
great misfortune to have children
reared in the presence and under the
influence of a scold. The effect of
the everlasting complaining and
fault-finding of such persons is to
make the young who hear it unami-
able, malicious, callous-hearted, and
they often learn TO take pleasure in
doing the very things for which
they receive such tongue.lashings.
AS they are always getting the blame
Of wrong-doing, whether they de-
serve it or not, they think they
might as we'll do wrong as right.
They lose all ambition to strive for
the favorable opinion Of the fault
finder, since they see they always
strive In vain. Thus scold is not
only q nuisance, but a destroyer OF
the morals of children. Ifthese un-
loved, dreaded people could only
zee themselves as others see them
they would nee to the mountains in
very shame.
