McGann left this office few days ago
to go to Cherokee to do some survey
ing for the Spring Valley Mining
Company. We were much surprised
to see him back SO soon, and still
more surprised at his wild, haggard
and distracted appearance. Though
looking you full in the face he seemed
not to see you, but appeared to be
looking for something away beyond in
the distance. For time he refused
to talk, and hardly touched his vit-
uals. At length the charm or spell
broke and the cause was speedily re-
vealed to the gaping throng that stood
around him. 1t will be remembered
that some weeks ago Mr.. Effinger, the
Superintendent of the Spring Valley
Company's mine, died quite suddenly.
It seems that couple of miners who
were working in tunnel were sudden
y startled by the well-known step of
their Superintendent. On look
ing up there he stood In all the
majesty Of life doing just what would
be usual for him to do, examining the
work that was being done. To say
that Mr.. Daniels and Mr.. Reese were
nrt little frightened would be putting
| it very light. The ghost, or whatever
it was, took up the lighted candle,
broke off part of the clay into which
it was stuck, and threw it at Mr.. Dan
iels hitting him under the eye so Sc
verely as to turn it black. 1t took the
men but little time to reach the sur
face and neither has been back, nor
will go for any sum of money. We
also saw Mr.. Louis Glass, the Secre-
tary of the company, who states that
the report which we have given above,
is current among the people Of Chero-
kee but the more intelligent portion
pay no attention to them. He says,
though, that if there was a place on
earth that Mr.. Efinger would visit,
could he again return TO the earth, it
would be the mines of Cherokee. That
the people are considerably frightened
is true; and that naughty boys and
girls no longer roam the streets after
dark is also true. We have an idea
that it will be sometime before they
get our Surveying friend to remain
with them over night, for while he
fears neither man, woman nor the dev-
il so long as they remain in the flesh,
his legs will not permit him to be
gazed at by those who have no busi-
ness out of the tomb until the arch
angels trumpet shall sound to call
them forth. Ororale Mercury.

A Thanksgiving Proclamation

In compliance with custom made ven
erable by long observance the President
has set apart the
Thirtieth Day of November inst.
as day of THANKSGIVING TO ALMIGHTY
GoD for the blessings that have crowned
the now closing year.
The watchfulness Of an Omniscient Eye
and the guidance Of Divine Hand have
been manifest through all the domains OF
nature. The order and harmony OF the
universe; the succession Of the seasons
spring time, with it's garniture of flowers !;
summer with it's seed time; autumn with
it's fruits: these attest the wisdom, power,
and loving care of the Father Of all.
Tt is. therefore, recommended that the
good people of Idaho, remitting their ac-
customed employment, do consecrate the
day to grateful recognition Of the Divine
goodness. Let offences be forgiven and
the veil of charity drawn over the errors
and injuries of the past. Let families as
semble, and neighbors greet each other
with gifts, not forgetting the stranger nor
withholding from the children Of want and
sorrow on whom the Christening hand has
been laid
Let all who are so minded assemble in
their houses of worship and in their man
ner sing praises and give thanks. Give
thanks for the life that is and the life that
is to be- Give thanks for our national
preservation and unity, and for the hope
of that perfect brotherhood which is the
offspring of perfected liberty. Give thanks
for constitution that permits no man to
lay burdens upon the conscience CT his
fellow; that secures free suffrage, free
speech, free schools and free press. And
while the incense of grateful thanks for
past mercies ascends from pure hearts and
consecrated affairs, let fervent prayer be
made that Heavens blessings may rest up
on our favored land, and that tomorrow
may be even as this day, but still more
abundant
In testimony whereof have hereunto
| - set my name and caused the seal
SEAL of Idaho Territory to be affixed
IS0N/attested by the. Secretary.
Done at Boise City this second day OF
November, A. ID. 1876.
