A Proclarnation. &.

The completed circle of summer and winter, seed
time and harvest have brought to the accustomed
season at which religious people celebrates with
praise and thanksgiving the enduring mercy of Al
mighty God. This devout and public confession of
the constant dependence OF man upon the Divine
Father for all the good gifts of life and health and
peace and happiness, so early in our history made
the habit of our people, finds in the survey of the
past year new grounds for its joyful and grateful
manifestations In all blessings which depend npon
the benignant seasons this has indeed been memo
rabe year. Over the wide territory of country with
all ITS diversity OF soil and climate and products the
earth has yielded bountfl return to the labor Of the
husb aDdman; the health of the people has been
bghted by no pestilence widespread diseases no
great disasters by shipwreck coast or to our
commerce on the sea have brought loss and hardshps
to merchants or mariners and couded the happ ness
OF the community with sympathetic sorrow. In all
that concerns our strength and peace and greatness
ais a naton in all that touches the permanence and
security of our government and the benefcent nst-
tutons on which 1t rests in all that affects the char
pacity to enjoy and uphold the equal and free cond-
ton OF society now permanent and universal through
out the land the experience of the past year is
picuousy marked by the protecting providence of
Goa, and is fu OF promise and hope for the coming
generations.
Under sense of these infinite obligations to the
Great Ruler of times and seasons and events let us
humbly ascrbe it to our own faults and fraties if
in any degree that perfect concord and happiness,
peace and justice which such great merces should
duse through the hearts and lives of our people do
not altogether and always and everywhere prevail.
Let us with one spirit and one voice lift up praise
and thanksgiving TO God for His manifold goodness
to our land, His manifest care for the nation.
Now, therefore, 1, Rutherford b. Hayes President
of the United States do appoint Thursday, the 29th
day of November next, as day of national thanks
giving and prayer. and earnestly recommend that
in withdrawing themselves from secular cares and
abor the people OF the United States do meet
together on that day in their respective places of
worship there to give thanks and praise to Almighty
God for his mercles and to devoutly beseech their
continuance.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be
affixed

Is right. So heroic devotion to duty is very
touching. AS might be expected from man
under Indictment for felony he shows an ex-

never saw, he says, the Republican party so
futtered before. The general opinion is that
