Mk. Editor: Having a little leisure
while visiting some friends in your
town, I, in company with a friend,
visited Miss Atherton's department of
your public schools, and was much
pleased with the condition of the school,
both as to deportment and proficiency
in the studies. The teacher held the
school well in hand and had every
thing in first rate order. She certainly
deserves credit for efficiency in her
profession. J. W. Martin.

Tliankstrlrlng Proclamation,
The President has issued the follow
ing: .
By the President op the United
States a Proclamation: The recur,
reuce of that season at which it Is the
habit of our people to make a devout
and publie confession of their
constant, dependence upon Divine
favor for all good gifts of life and hap
piness and of public peace and pros
perity, exhibits in the record of the
abundant icasons for our gratitude and
thanksgiving. Exuberant . harvests,
productive mines, ample crops and
staples of trade and manufacture have
enriched the country. The resources
thus furnished to reviving Industry
and expanding comierce are hasten
ing the day when discords nnd dis
tresses through the length and breadth
of the land will, under the continued
favor of Providence, have given way
to confidence and energy and as
sured prosperity. Peace with all
nations has remained unbroken ( do
mestic tranquility has prevailed, and
the institutions of liberty and Justice
which the wisdom and virtue of our
fathers established remain the glory
and defense of their children. The
general prevalence of the blessings of
health through our wide land has
made more conspicuous the sufferings
and sorrows which the dark shadow
of pestilence has cast upon a portion of
our people. This heavy affliction even
the Divine RuhT has tempered to the
suffering communities in the universal
aid and succor which have flowed to
their relief, and the whole nation may
rejo ce in the unity of spirit in our
people by which they cheerfully share
one another's burdens.
Now therefore I, Rutherford B.
Hayes, President of the United State,
do appoint Thursday, the 28th of No
vember next, as a day of National
thanksgiving and prayer, and I ear
nestly recommend that, withdrawing
themselves from secular cares and la
bors, the people of the United States
do meet together on that day in their
respective places of worship, there to
give thanks and praise to Almighty
God for his mercies and to devoutly
beseech their continuance.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hniid and caused the seal of the
United Statts to be affixed. Done at
the city of Washington this 30th day
of October, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy
eight, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
third. R. B. Hayes.
By the President.
Wm. M. Eva uts, Secretary of State.
Ttie P. & E. Road.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record bus recently traveled over the
P. & E. joad, and from Reno'-o sends
that journal a most flattering exhibit
of its present freight traffic. He says
it is greater than at arytime in the
history of the r ad. A large part of
this freight consists of wheat ami corn
from the elevators at Erie, soft coal
from St. Marys and lumber and mer
chandise. Hard coal going west is
also a large Item. At Renovo from
1,200 to l,ao0 cars are handled per day,
and yet the business superintendent
finds il almost impussiblo to keep up
with the demand. The writer adds :
"Trains are found all along the road
at intervals of only a mile or two, and
many of them are of great length. A
few days a ;o a train of 110 cars, in
cluding the engine and two cabooses,
was moved from Emporium to llenovo,
a distance of forty-six miles, in three
hours and forty minutes. The weight
of the train was over 2,500 tons, and
railroad men claim that a greater feat
was never accomplished by a D engine
before. A train of tills number of cars
is about a mile in length. Of the
enormous number of cars handled
daily at least two-thirds are loaded.
During the month of August 29,088
cars were moved on the di vision. The
returns for September are not compiled
yet, but they will gre tly exceed thuse
of the previous month, and October
promises to be greater still. The great
yard at Renovo is often so blocked
with arriving and departing freight
trains that there is scarcely room to
handle them. All crews and engines
arc changed here, which adds to the
life and activity of the town. It is
expected that the same number of men
employed in the shops will be kept at
work all winter, as there promises to
be an abundance of work."
The M. E. sub district Sunday
school institute, held at Brockway ville
the last three days of October, was on
quite a success, although at the begin
ning it looked somewhat likeas though
it would be a failure, owing to the ab
sence of several persons who were ex
pected to be present and take part iu
the exercises. Prof. Excel, the singer,
was among the missing. Revs. Talbot,
Burns, Taylor, Fillson, Hunt and
Keeley were present, also a large num
ber of workers representing the laity.
The sessions of the institute were all
well attended by the people of Brock
wayville and vicinity, aud In theeven
ings the church was crowded. The
questions discussed were mostly of a
practical character and elicited con
siderable discussion without much
controversy. The musical exercises
were conducted by our home talent
and were remarkably good, cousidering
the circumstances, for Professor Excel
was expected until within a few hours
of the opening of the Institute. Rev.
C. C. Hunt led the choir with his cor
net, while Mrs. McLaughlin presided
at the organ, and so well were they
assisted by the ladies and gentlemen
composing the choir that we soon
forgot our disappointment. While we
did not have Excel we had Excel-lent
music and an Excel-lent institute all
through. j. w. m.
Ex-Supervisor Gulnack has returned
from the West.

A synopsis of the Derrick's October
oil report shows that ?j'flf. wells wre
completed during the month, yielding
in the aggregate 2,800 btprehi. . Twenty
four dry holes were found.' in. all the
