day Appointed for Nasiesai Obser.
We are reminded by the changing
seasons that it is time to pause in our
daily vocations and offer thanks to AL
mighty God for the mercies and abun-
dance Of the year which is drawing to
close. The blessings of free govern
ment continue to be vouchsafed to
us; the earth has responded to the Ia
Dor of the husbandman; the land has
been free from pestilence, internal or
der is being maintained, and peace
with other powers has prevailed. 1t
is fitting that at stated periods we
should cease from our accustomed pur-
suits and from the turmoil of our dali
ly lives and unite in thankfulness for
the blessings Of the past and in the cul-
tlvation Of kindly feelings toward each
other. Now, therefore. recognizing
these considerations, I, Ulysses s.
Grant, President OF the United States,
do recommend to all citizens to assem-.
BILE in their respective places of wor.
ship on Thursday the 10Th day of No
vember next, and express their thanks
for the mercy and favor of the Almigh-
ty God, and laying aside all political
contentious, and all secular occupa-
tons. to observe such a day as day
of praise.
In witness whereof, I have herewith
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed:
done at the city of Washington, this
the 9th day Of October, in the year
1874, and of the independence of
the U. s. the goth.

FROM LIBERTY, IND.


A man by the name of Courtly was
killed by his brother-in-law last Sat-
Eurday night. This occurred two and
half miles west Of Liberty. They
were colored men and both drunk.
The murderer is vet at large.
PRoBABL Y FATAL SHOOTING ARRAY.
Last night Cor rather this morning.
Tuesday, about 2 o'clock, shooting
affray occurred in low doggery in
Liberty, by which man by the name
OF Hollingsworth was shot in the abb
domen by young man named Lard.
The wound is said by the physicians
will prove fatal. There are two low
doggeries in or near Liberty since the
election. They suppose the Baxter
law is now repealed. Since the cleo
ton, whisky has been nearly free, and
night is made hileous by the midnight
yells of the drunkards. Union coun-
ty is now disgraced. Her fame which
she has earned for several years
IS lost by her whisky triumph on the
the 18th of October. The Jail of Union
county which has never been disgraced
by criminal, will now be made the
receptacle Of criminals, and criminal
expenses begin, and taxes must be in
erersed. The whisky party has tri.
umphed, and let them have all the
glory and the honor of murders, ar
son, thieyery, and all the damning
crimes that follow the traffic. God
pity the poor drunkard's wife and
children! Court in session here.

Faith With Works.

The Inter Ocean, gives the fol
lowing account of an encounter
between two burglars and Elder J.
W. Greene of the Nj. E. Church,
at Terre Haute, on Tuesday morn
ing last, at about 2 o'clock. Mr..
Greene had been out attending
Quarterly Conference, and shortly
after he came in and layed down he
heard a noise at the kitchen win
dow. Rising up he took his double
barreled shotgun and, finding a
man at the window and another
near by, drew a bead on the breast
of the man at the window. The
gun snapped, and the fellows ran.
He followed them, and brought one
to a halt The robber watched his
opportunity, and, getting close to
the preacher, caught the gun, and
a fearful struggle ensued, in the
course of which the gun changed
hands several times. In the midst
of the fight the other burglar came
back and shot at Mr.. Greene,
wounding him in the right side.
The thief ran off with the gun, but
the preacher managed to secure his
knife and revolver. Greene is bad
ly bruised and beaten. The pistol
wound does not amount to much.

The Berlin, Prussia, correspon-
dent of the London Times writes
that the body of Lady Dixie was
burned on the 10th inst. at Ores
den, strangers being permitted to be
present. The coffin was placed In
the chamber of the furnace, and six
minutes later the coffin burst; five
minutes more and the flesh began
to melt away; 16 minutes more and
the skeleton was laid bare; another
10 minutes and the bones began to
crumble; and 75 minutes after the
introduction of the coffin, what
remained of Lady Dixie and coffin
were six pounds of dust placed in
an urn.

Admit, for the sake of argument,
that the Democratic party is pure,
that it is as innocent as a new born
babe, that it never stole a dollar,
and never could be tempted to that
it would have hanged Tweed for
his corruption if the Republicans
had not sheltered him behind the
walls of a prison; yet, with all this
in it's favor, we could not risk its
administration of the government
It's peculiar notions of finance,
which look toward reputation, its
Indifference to the protection of
labor, its opposition to internal
improvement, its unwillingness to
accept in good faith the results of
the war, and, above all these, its
open sympathy with those who
persecute American citizens on
account Of their political opinions,
would make it, in our opinion, the
enemy of our liberties, the stun
bling block in the way of true
national progress.-Republlc Mag
