Let us be thankful on Thursday and every other day, and, if possible mind the commands contained in the Eth, and 9th, verses of the LvIII, chapter of Isaiah, where it is written "Deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the needy and the harbourless into thy house: When thou shalt see one naked, cover him." "Undo the bundles that oppress, let them that are broken go free, and break as- under every burden" Cease to stretch out the finger, and to speak that which profit eth not" And then we are told what the re- ward shall be.
 "Then shall thy light break forth as the morning. and thy health shall speedily arise, and thy justice shall go before thy face, and the glory of the Lord shall gather the up. Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall hear; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here am.

From this low point their affairs were received into the hands of the weather department and un- der the regime of these new directors the stock has gradually risen in public estimation. To- day, as the sun crossed the meridian, the stock was registered as high as 45 Q above o, a to- tai rise of Al, which, considering it's former very depressed state, is remarkable. The in- tlications now are that public confidence is about to be wholly resterod.-
 Mrs Julius Glover and her daughter, Mrs. Weston Graniss, are away on a few weeks visit. They will visit friends at Bridgeport, Norwalk, and New Haven before their return. | Last Sunday night, there sat in the pew right before us a gay young fellow and his gal" And we arc glad to be able to say that she was gay, young and beautiful too. We noticed that she eagerly scrutinized every lady within the range of her vision We mo- ticed till we began, regardless of the sermon, to grow curious, when, after surveying the congregation once more, she nodded her head in certain direction toward another young lady, and leaning lovingly towards the gay young mans good-sized ear distinctly whis- pered, "I don't care, anyhow, there's hat looks as bad as mine any day!" The gay young man smiled g ''smole, '" and so did we.
