Hoity toity! Here comes the great

A Pennsylvania man lately bought a
farm and began to make some repairs on
the dwelling house belonging to it. In
doing so he dug up from under the kitch-
en- floor an iron pot containing So 600 in
gold and silver. If he did not know ex-
actly to whom it belonged, that man was
very foolish to tell of his find.

service his countrymen should keep his

Science can certainly get the mastery
of nature on small scale. In the
northern lake and river ports hereafter,
when navigation is blocked by ice, all
that is necessary will be for some skill
full engineer to have the ice dug away at
a certain spot, put some pounds of dyna-
mite there, lay fuse and blow up the

THE LONDONDERRY SITTER.
THE
Londonderry Sitter.
THE
Thanksgiving proclamations,
So. Londonderry, Vermont.

The first presidential Thanksgiving
proclamation was issued in 1889 by 90,
Washington, as he signed his name, 1t
was set for Thursday, Nov, s6, but there
were no railroads and telegraphs then,
and it required full six weeks to get the
word over the enormous territory COW
cred by the 10 original states, and 20.
Washington" sent ont his Thanksgiving
proclamation on Oct, 3, The seat of gov
eminent was then in New York city
and ii was there that the president pre-
pared his address. 1t was much more
stately and devout than proclamation
of our time.
In addition to calling on the people to
give thanks this document directed them
to join in humble supplication to the
great Lord and ruler of nations that he
would pardon our national and other
.ransgressions and enable us all, whether
in public or private stations, to perform
our several and relative duties properly
and punctually." Modern presidents are
apt rather to skip or at least hurry over
that part of their Thanksgiving mes
sages, and many people, whether in pub
lie or private station in our time, have
only time on Thanksgiving day TO eat
their turkey and hurry to the football
game. A majority of them, too, espe-
cially men in public station, are of opin-
ion that they perform their duties quite
well enough now. ......
After the time of Washington not
much attention was paid officially to
Thanksgiving for many years. 1t re-
quired great national trial to bring
back the hearts of the American people
TO sense of the religious character Of
the day.
During the darkest days of the civil
war woman editor, Mrs. Sarah Jo-
sepha Hale of Philadelphia, began an ag-
itation for the universal observance by
this nation of the Thanksgiving holiday.
At her suggestion President Lincoln in
1864 proclaimed the last Thursday in
November as day for national thanks
giving and prayer. Since then every
president has followed his example an.
nually.
There is much red tape about the
issuance of presidents proclamation
of Thanksgiving. Usually he writes ii
himself Then it is sent to the state
department to be copied by some clerk
who can write well, after which it is re-
turned and the president and secretary
of state sign it. Then the big seal Of
the United States is affixed and the
thing is done. 1t would never DO t.
have anything so plain, simple and easy
as typewriter copy of the proclama
ton. Perish the thought! So the clerk
who can write go to work and make 81
copies of the proclamation-one eacl
for the governors of the A states ant
6 territories of this Union-and thes,
are sent to them in due time informin.
them OF what every turkey in tn,
country knew long before, that the las
Thursday in November is to be oh
served as national day of thanEsgiv
ing.
On the whole, we cannot do bette
this year than to follow the recommen
dalton of G. Washington and asl, tn
Almighty to guide and protect all SOY
ereigns and nations, especially thos
that have shown kindness to u.s." Som
of them need praying for badly.

The opening of the ship canal from one
of the mouths of the Mersey river near
Liverpool to Manchester Jan. will be
an event second only in Importance to
the opening of the Suez canal itself.
The canal is 354 miles long, 1t will
bring the cotton Of New Orleans and
Galveston directly to the great factories
of Manchester without its breaking bulk
at Liverpool and being shipped by rail,
as is now the case. 1t must have some
effect to lower the price and increase the
sale Of cotton goods of the finer grades
all over the world. The queen herself
ought to open the Manchester canal, as
she did The waterW orks Of Glasgow.
1t is an event important enough to at
tract her majesty to Manchester.
The canal was projected i'll 1882. Liv-
erpool has 400 acres of docks, and these
would, many of them, be left desolate if
a ship canal were built that should carry
steamers directly past Liverpool to Man
chester. Therefore the dock ana railway
interests set themselves against the ca
nal with all their combined force. The
matter was brought before parliament,
and the opposing interests fought the
| thing out tooth and nail. The canal
company spent 100000 trying to per
suade parliament to give it a charter. II
! is not claimed that this was used in ac.
tual bribery or promoting" the canal
as was the case in the Panama affair
but experts We're brought from all ovel
the world to show that the project was
feasible. The American Captain Fad:
among others received a fee of 0,o00
AT last the canal won, as progressive en-
terprises do finally.

An important decision has been rem
dered in Pennsylvania in case of the
state against the Sharon Coal company.
The state officers arbitrarily increased
the valuation of the Sharon company's
property, basing the increase on the fact
Of its largely increased net earnings. The
decision of the judge was that net earn
ings over and above what have been paid
out in dividends or reserved as surplus
or sinking fund cannot be made basis
Of the value of the stock Of concern.
The court therefore took the valuation
of the company's property as made by
its own officers instead Of The state off

IsIr MURDER2
Mysteriously Missing.

On last Saturday, Geo Mcdonald,
son of Willis Mcdonald, living
about two miles west of Logan, came
to town with his father. He had
about $50. in money in his possess
ion. He was known TO have started
for home at about 8 o'clock that
night, presumably up the railroad
track to the Falls mill. Tuesday the
excitement over his disappearance
became so intense in Logan that a
searching party of several hundred
organized.
The canal was drained, the river
dredged, and the deep pools dynan-
tied, the country FOR miles around
was searched, and no trace discov-
cred. There are circumstances that
look Ike he has been murdered.
Thereare also intimations that
he has left the country. At the es
pecial request of friends of the miss.
ing man We withhold from publi-
cation a great many details and cir
cumstances that would be interest
ing.
Young Mcdonald was one of our
most promising young men, just OF
age, teaching his fifth term, of ex
cellent character, and exemplary
habits. His parents are we'll nigh
distracted, and in their grief have
the earnest sympathy of this entire
public.
The search is Kept up with un
diminished vigor.
