set apart by the President and the Governor
of Ohio for all the faithful to assemble in
their various places of worship to thank
the Giver of All Things for the many and
repeated favors bestowed during the past
year.
The day as National one was first made
so by President Lincoln, it having before
his proclamation been only observed by
the proclamation of the Governors of some
of the States Originally it was an old New

brated publicly in every city, village and
town in the United States and even in
Canada.

most every Protestant Church in this city.
