THANKSGIVING Day.

Next Thursday is The day appointed by
rroelama.isn Of the President Of the United
States and the Governor Of the State as q day
Of Thanksgiving and Prayer to the Author Of
an our mercies. Il has become very common
10 the past few years, more especially since the
close Of the war aud during the subsequent
political adyersities through which the people
Of the Soath were compelled to pass for them
TO sheer at thanksgiyings and wonder what zee
have to BE grateful for. Granted that we had
our trials, that oppressive legislation and
Northern despotism made life burdeusome to
many thousands Of our citizens, was there ever,
at the very darkest hour, a time when we had
not much for which 10 be thankful? Compare
for single moment our own favored land bril-
liant in every ccrper with the radiance Of re-
vealed Christianity aud It's attendant ciyiliza-
iion aud refncmeut-co contrast orr condition
with that Of the millions Of degraded heather,
given up to superstiti0us, vices, and wicked
ness at the very mention Of which our flesh
creeps and our ears tiugle with horror-hu-
man sacrifices parents, aged aud helpless,
left on; to lie or put out Of the way by a
quicker mode, widows consumed on the hus-
bands funeral pyre, ht.le children thrown in
10 the sacred torrent, victims crushed under
the car Of Juegernaut-all Of these every day
occurrences even DOW in tue East millions
dying Of famine and postileuce, Have We
not Gl,rayS bad much 70 excite our gratitude 2
But to-day how much more than ever before
"a government Just and impartial, men Of
honesty and known worth in every depart
ment, Christian charity spreading out help
iog hand TO the distressed aud suffering 10 ev-
cry quarter" Where sin aboands grace doth
much more abound In our own Valley such
abundant crops have scarcely ever been known
before, and though money is still scarce for
want Of proper legislation, which, however,
we trust will ere long be enacted aud this evil
be remedied, YET the staff Of life is in richest
profusi0n, and want ard actual poverty are
further than ever from The door Of even the
humblcst. Yes, leo Ne raise heart aud voice in
the sanctuary anl at our frosiles, in siuceresi
p-aise and worship TO Him hose mercy en-
jureth forever, even though it be in the words

The Corporation of Bolivar has passed an

"Observer says the NJ. E. Church in
Bolivar was crowded to overlooking on the
evening Of the 18th instant to witness the
marriage of Miss Gertrude Cavalier and Mr..
Daniel Grove Henkle. The attendants were
four little girls, who were rose-buis Of rare
lovelness, attired in white muslin and pink
sashes."
"B," another correspondent, writing upon

"The universally Of good feeling which
the marriage Of Mr. Henkle and Miss
Cavalier occasions, attests the widespread aud

the assemblage grew more impatient as the
hour drew nearer The party entered, passing
up the right-hand side pari pdsSa to the We'd

The Clarke Courier SAYS:

Mrs Mary Pope, wife Of Conrad Pope, Of
Long Marsh township, was arrested and
brought before Justice T. d. Gold on Mon
day, upon charge of having shot John
Grubbs, Of the same township. 1t appears
that Grubbs had rented piece Of ground
from Mrs. Pope, which he had planted in corn.
To get to .he corn Grubbs was in the habit Of
taking down the feuce and driving in Against
this Mrs. Pope protested because, as she said,
the hogs had several times gotten ino her lot
and destroyed its products. On Monday Mr.
Grubbs was taking down the fence, when Mrs.
Pope appeared and expostuated against ,he
act, insisting that be should en.er by the gate
which opened into the lot. Que word follow
ed another between the par,ies-Mrs. Pope de-
claring that she would shoot Grubbs if be
pulled her fence down again. The fence was
taken down, when Mrs. Pope discharged the
gun she carried with her, AMI the contents
lodged in Mr. Grubbs' back. While his in
juries are painful, Dr. Page, who was called
in, does not think him dangerously wounded.
Mrs. Pope was sent on 10 the court for Trial, but
was released to appear again by giving bail in
the sum OF $500"
