Notwithstanding a long and brave
struggle, our friend Fred. q. War

and the next thing heard of him he
was investing in china-w are, knives
and forks, and other essentials Ia
matrimonial bliss. Well, success to
you Fred, underali circumstances.

Next Thursday has been desig-
mated as a day of Thanksgiving and
Prayer throughout the United States,
and we think it ought to be observed
with especial interest. We should
be very thankful for the bountiful

blessed during the year on the one
hand, and on the other we should
pray very fervently for protection
from a possible calamity resulting
from our political complications.

called upon to pay the debt of nature,
having calmly slept away the last
moments of her long life on Friday

astounding events have occurred

she was permitted to live almost

attend it's grand exhibition at
Philadelphia. But the longest life
