cathartic to expel the diseased matter from the

National ThanksEivIng Proclamation.

The following proclamation, setting apart
Thursday, Nov. 28, as a day Of Thanksgiving,
has been issued
BIZ he President of he United States,
aUr A PROCLAMATION . t nl
The recurrence Of the season at which 1t is
the habit OF our people TO make devout and
public confession Of their constant dependence
upon the divine favor for all the good gifts Of
life and happiness, and Of public peace and
prosperity, exhibits, in the record Of the year,
abundant reasons for our gratitude and thanks
giving. Exuberant harvests, productive mines,
ample crops Of staples OF trade and manufac-
lures, have, enfiched the country. The re-
sources thus furnished to our revivlng iudis-
try and expanding commerce are Fastening the
day when discord and distresses, through the
length and breath of the land, will, under the
continued favor Of Providence, have given way
to confidence and energy, and assured prosper
ity. Peace with all nations has remained I'M
broken, domestic tranquility has prevailed,
and the institutions Of liberty and justice,
which the wisdom and virtue of our fathers
established, remain the glory and defense OF
their children. The general prevalence OF the
blessings Of health through our wide land has
made more conspicuous the sufferings and eor-
rows which the dark shadow u pestilence has
cast upon portion Of our people. This heavy
affliction even the Divine Ruler has tempered
to the suffering communities in the universal
sympathy and succor which have flowed to
their relief, and the whole nation may rejoice
in the unity Of spirit in our people by which
they cheerfully share one anothers burden.
Now, therefore, l, Rutherford B. Hayes,
President of the United States, do appoint
Thursday, the 28th day of November next,
as a day Of national thanksgiving and
prayer and l earnestly recommend that,
withdrawing themselves from secular cares
and labors, 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 mercies, and to
devoutly beseech their continuance.
In witness whereof, 1 have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington. this 3Oth
day Of October, in the year of our Lord 1878,
and of the independence Of the United States
the one hundred and third. r. D. HAYES.

We have examined the new photogra phic
group of the present Legislature, and if we
say the work, as a whole, is executed beau
tiful, tasty and complete in the extreme, we
express ourselves with moderation. Every
one of these one hundred and sixty pho
tographS is a true and faithful likeness
and the portrait of his Excellency, the Gov
ernor, as also view of theCapitol, add to the
tasty appearance of the whole. We do no t
see how anyone connected or interested in
the State Governme nt, aud particularly the
MEMBERSHIP the present elegant Legislature,
can do without a copy of this pictorial and
faithful record. OF course the work was
executed by Mr.. E. Won. Seutter, the distin-
guished artist of this city.

Good Results

Are always pleasant to contemplate, as
every dyspetic sufferer who uses Parker's
Ginger Tonic will attest. To obtain from
this remedy the most gratifying relief when
distressed with Headache, Low Spirits, Ner-
vousnesS, Wakefulness, Palptation of the
Heart, Liver Disorders, Costiveness, Pain in
the Stomach, Heartburn, Cramps, ETC., is a
pleasant experience that surprises no less
than it comforts. Another remarkable
feature of this remedy is its powerful speci-
fic action on the skin and mucous surfaces
of the throat and lungs by which it unfail-
ingly cures the worst cases of Cough, Cold
and Sore Throat. 1t cures in a wonderfully
short time, removes all soreness from the
lungs, and protects the feeble from Consum-
