TrANkservrNe.-In marked contrast to

theproclamation ofOregons S cranky govern
or is the following beautifully worled pro-
clamation of President Cleveland, which it
is safe to predict is the only one that will
be read on Thanksgiving day, which every
body will observe ON the date named in it:
while the American people should every
day remember with praise and thanksgiv-
ing the divine goodness and mercy which
have followed them since their beginning
rs a nation, it is fitting that one day In
each year should be especially devoted to
contemplation Of the blessings we have re-
ceived from the hand of God, and to a
grateful acknowledgment of his loving
kindness; therefore. |, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the Both
day of the present month of November, as
a day of Thanksgiving and praise, to be kept
and observed by all people in our land. On
that day let us forego our ordinary work
and employments and assemble in our usual
places of worship, where We may recall all
that God has done for us, and where, from
grateful hearts our united tribute of praise
and song may reach the throne of grsee.
Let the union of kindred and the social
meeting of friends lend cheer and enjoy
ment to duty ,and let generous gifts Of char,
ity for the relief Of thepoor and needy prove
the sincerity of our thanksgiving.
