THANKSGIVING DAY.

All of our days should be thanksgiving
days, for all of our days are filed with
mercies ''that fall as the dew from heaven
upon the just and the unjust alike" But in
these days of progress, and in the hard fought
battle for wealth or position. we all are apt to
forget our duty of giving thanks. Living en-
tirely for the future, We forget tho blessings
of the past, and SO it is we'll that one day in
the year has been set apart by the people
when they shall turn towards God with thanks
for all of His mercies. We, as people. in
this part of the country, have much reason
to be thankful, "fOr the lines are fallen unto
us in pleasant places; yea, we have goodly
heritage" Living as We do in one of the most
fertile and beautiful valleys in the world,
surrounded by all that makes life pleasant,
our fields crowned with abundant harvests,
free from the pestilcnce that has so desolated
part of our homeland these, with other
countless blessings, call for thankful hearts
Let US, then, keep.in our. hearts and in our
homes this day: of thanks, not in feasting or
rioting, but in close communion with our
Father from whom;cometh every good and
perfect gift" "Let US enter.sinto lis gates
with thanksgiving, aud into His courts with
praise" Let US ':be thankful unto Him, and
bless His name"

PEABODY SCHOOL FUND.

From the Wheeling Standard We learn that
Professor Pendleton has been informed by
DR. Sears that the allotments from the Pea-
body Educational Fund for the common
schools of this State, this year, will be de-
creased about 81 900 below last years appor.
tionment This rangement will give about
So 900 to our common schools. One thousand
dollars will be furnished for the purpose of
holding teachers institutes, making $4,000
in all. The reason given for this decrease is,
that process of equalization has been insti>
tuted by the Directors of the Fund, and sev>
eral OF the Southern States which were not
in a condition to avail themselves of the pro-
visions of Mr.. Peabody's bounty at the close of
the war, are now receiving the amounts which
the condition of these Commonwealth then
induced the Board to devote to other locali>
ties. In other words, these States are receiv.
ing what might be termed their "back pay"
and States like West Virginia, which at one
time received as much as SIS, 900 per an
mum, are proportiouately reduced. When
this process of equalization is completed, we
may expect to have our allowance from the
fund increased.

The Dinners and Suppers given for The
benefit of the Brass Band were success in
every particular. The ladies who had very
kindly consented to take charge of the affair,
had succeeded in loading down the tables
with feast of good things. These rapidly
disappeared before the army Of eaters that
came to benefit both themselves and the
band. Three Rebekahs aided the cause, and
lemonaded the thirsty ones from a very beau
tiful we'll. At the scales every one had his
or her own way at five cents weigh, and the
perambulating hat-rack did roaring busi>
ness. A superb cake, presented by Mr..
Phil. T. Rohr, was put up to be voted to the
most popular young lady. Three candidates
entered the feld-Nliss Katie Rohr, Miss
Minnie Roberts and Miss Mary Brown. Tie
contest vas a very exciting one, and as the
hour approached for closing the polls the five
cent votes ratified like hail upon the table
Over five hundred votes were pollcd, and the
result was as follows: Miss Rohr received
219, Miss Roberts 1913, and Miss Brown 3d.
The nett proceeds were S1lO 90. Good
music enlivencd tie occasion. The men,
with> the silver. horns entered into friendly
blow with the men with the brass horns, and
together made the welkin ring, also the ears
of the listeners. Prof. Julian A. Smith pro-
sided at very sweet toned organ, one of
Estey's make, for the sale of which he has
