 A PROCLAMATION.
 From year to year we have been accustomed to pause in our daily pursuits and set apart a time to offer our thanks to Al mighty God for his special bless ings He has vouchsafed to us, with our prayers for . continu- ance thereof. We have at this time equal reason to be thankful for His continued protection and for many material blessing His bounty has bestowed. In addi- ton to these favors accorded to us as individuals, we have cspe- cial occasion to express our hearty thanks to Almighty God that by His providence and guidance our government, established a ccntu- " ago, has been enabled to fulfill the purpose of it's founders i'll offering an asylum to the people of every race, securing civil and religious liberty to all within it's borders, and meting out to every individual alike justice and equal ity before the land. It is, more over, especially our duty to offer our humble prayers to the Father of all mercies for continuance of His divine favor to us as na- tion and as individuals.
 By reason of all these consider ations, I, Ulysses $. Grant, Pres | ident of the United States, do recommend to the people of the United States to devote the 30th l of November next to the eXpreS- sion of their thanks and prayers to Almighty God, and laying aside their daily avocations and al secular occupations, to assem- ble in their respective places of worship, and observe such day as a day of thanksgiving and rest. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the city of Washington this 26th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1876 and of the independence ofthe United States of America the 10lst.

Principles of Good Farming.

Principles of Good Farming.
 The better to retain important fact in the memory, l am ever fond of reducing the principles of good farming to brief maxiins and rules, compressing into a sim gle short sentence the gist of many a page. Thus 1 carry about me mental pabulum to be digested at the blow or koe. The following are some of these prin- ciples:
 l. The farmer who would sue ceed well, and derive pleasure as well as profit from his calling, must manifest an active and abid- ing interest in his vocation. It takes heart work to make hand work pleasant.
 7. The farmer must study now best to increase and maintain fer tility to his soils. There is no inertia in agriculture. There must be progress either forward or retrograde.
 3. The farmer must strive to increase quality as we'll as the quantity of his crops. It is the quality that determines the price. In this "Excelsior" should be his unvarying motto.
 i. The farmer must seek with a watchful eye to improve his market facilities. It is transpor- tation that eats up the profits.
 ). The art of raising better stock is not as we'll known as it should be. Keep no more ami mals than you have the facilities to feed and care for well.
 6. The farmer must seek to inn prove his social, intellectual, and financial condition.

Facts Worth Knowing.

One thsnsand shingles laid four inches to the weather will cover one hundred square feet surface, and five pounds of shin gle nails will tasten them on.
 One fifth more siding and floor ing is needed than the number of square feet of surface to be cover- ed, because of the lap in the slid ing and the matching of tie floor.
 One thousands laths will cover seventy rods of surface, and elev- en pounds of lath nails will nail them on.
 Eight bushels of good lime, sixteen bushels of sand, and one bushel of hair will make enough good mortar to plaster one hun dred square yards.
 A cord of stone, three bushels of lime and a cubic yard of sand will lay one hundred cubic feet of wall.
 Five courses of brick will lay one foot in height on chimney, six brick in course will make flue four inches wide and twelve inches long, and eight brick in q course will make q fue eight inches wide and sixteen inches long. The Prairie Farmer.

 LIVER PILLS.
FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver. DAlN in the right side, under the
 edge of the ribs, increases onpres- sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder-blade, and it frequently extends to the top oi the shoulder, and is sometimes mis- taken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alter native with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss ofmemory, accompanied with pain ful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is some times an attendant. The patient complains ofweariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be bene- fcial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every rem edy. Several of the above symp- toms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- istcd, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER.
 DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AoUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory ! to, or after taking Quininc. We would advise. all who are afflicted with this disease to give them A FAIR TRIAL. :,
 For all Bilious homogeneous, and as a simple purgative, they are un- equaled.
