Thursday is Thanksgiving, and there

hasn't something to be thankful for.
There is suffering, want, and hardship in
many forms. but what is so bad that it
cannot be worse Those blest with
abundance may make their festival
dOubly happy by remembering with
kindly helpfulness, those who have less.
Those who have less can put aside repin-
ing, and rejoice that they are not deSti-
tute. And even for the destitute, there
is aid when their wants are made known.
So it seems to us, all can rejoice with
exceeding joy and celebrate Thanksgiv-

We had the pleasure the other day of

him relate the incidents of his late west

! westward the last of August and made
| Minneapolis his central point. He made
a journey to the northern part of the
State to visit his brother Dan, whom he
| found in possession of large, but stony
tract of land, with which he was not very
much pleased. He thinks the people of
that section of the country are very shift
less and no better to do than the people
of Vermont. He is of the opinion that
one favOrably situated here cannot better
themselves by going west. He went
down to Iowa and visited relatives, and
in all made journey of not less than
1850 miles. Though meeting but thou
sands of people he saw but one man old
er than himself, and that was a former
townsman, DR.. Alger, whom MANY of
our people will remember. He met while
in Minneapolis nearly all the large dele
CATION of Stowe people, and was dined,
and for aught we know, wined, by them
to his hearts content. He speaks of
Minneapolis as a great business center,
in his estimation even eXcelling Chicago.
