A peculiar ming a nut tne last veroiei isH that it is for ?i'.J more than the plaintiff claimed in his statement. Richards was a lai hirer and had his leg broken by a full from a s'-atfold. Dr. Willard treated him at the Homipathic H.ispital. out he left leforo lieing dis charged, was treated elsewhere, and his leg lK.-tnie stiff.

Canr;V "Enter into his gate with thanksgiving, and into his on -Is with prais! lie thank ful unto him and bless his name." Psalm 1"M. Thanksgiving Day, as no oliserveil, is borrowed from the Jewish Feast of tab ernacles The Hebrews under the Mo saic law, celebrated tho goodness of tod in a harvest festival, under branches of trees and in tents of palm. Iteyotid any other ancient people, thi-y felt that the fruits of tho ctrth were the gifts of divine beaiiieenee; and th it it was fitting V ex press gratitude for them in a public cele bration in which those gifts should v en joyed. Thanksgiving among us as a r.a' ion denotes an annual d ly not instituted to tvlebrato a single event, but to show prop er gratitude to Cod forth j blessings of the closing year. Rut the American custom oi Thanksgiving Is historically trace! lo thtj earliest settlers of New England. Within a year after tha lauding of tho May Flower, tho Plymouth pilgrims le g.in tho custom. Throughout the Revo lutionary War Congress recommended days of Thanksgiving. President Wash ington instituted the National Thanks giving. During our Civil War, President Lincoln frequently apjiointetl special days of Thanksgiving for national victories. In lNil, he issued a long proclamation ap p oiiitiug tho la t Thursday of November as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. Since that year every President of tho United States has appointed the last Thursday of Novcmlier, as a national day of tliauksgiving, aud nearly all the gov ernors of the states have followed w ith proclamations for their respective stites. Why should we offer unto (Jod thanks giving? I. Because in the memorial struggle for national independence stuvuss crown ed our efforts The Stamp Act wautho dynamite Uitnb that caused tho first explosion. Its o'i- je-t was to raise a revenue from the sale of stamps and stamped paper for marriage lin;iises, commercial transactions suits at law, transfers of real estate Ac. The colonies were thus to Iks taxed without their consent ; the revenue derived there from was to be devoted to the support of a standing army ; and that was in turn to lie used for the maintenance oftlie s-he:iie of taxation. Yet no one in England seems to have dreamed of American opjiositioii. ndyct the news of tho passage of tho Stamp Act caused all America to hum with the signs of resistance, but forcible measures were at first repudiated every where. It was followed by tho declara tions of the colonial assemblies. The Virginia assembly, under the lead of Patrick Henry, backed by the younger members, took tho first step by a declara tion of colonial rights covering the right of each colony to iu:ke its own laws am impose and expend its own taxation. Tiie Massachusetts assembly follow with the formal proposal f an American Con gress to be tsimposod of the representa tives of all tho colonics South Carolina seconded the call and the first step on the road to union was taken. An order call ed the Sotis f Liberty, sustained fre quently by the town organizations forced tho Stump orlii-crs to resign, and destroy ed tho stamiis wherever thev could lie ind. The Coitnecticut Stamp oilbvras ho rthlo into 1 1 art lord on his white horse to deposit his resignation, with a thousand armisl farmers riding after, said that he folt "like death on the pale horse, villi ail hell following him." Newspapers and pamphlets rang every possible change on Coke 'sdictum that "an Act of Parliament contrary to Magna Charta was void," and with warnings to St.im: ollieers that they wot;ld be considered enemies to the liiK-rties of America, if they attempted to carry out their duties When the dav broke on which tho Act was V go into operation, America had neither stamps nor Stamp officers with which to fulfill its provisions. The Act aceomplish-d noth ing as the colonies ceased to import the taxed articles Everything was finally exempt but tea and that only threj pence per pound. (Jenerul popular sentiment wasstiii strong enough to prevent the importation of this single luxury, and it was found in 177:1 llrit tho tax produced but atsMit eighty-five Kunds a year, at an expense of two or three hundred thou sand for collection. Several of the first cargoes of tea were ordered home again by popular meetings in tho American ports and their captains generally oley ed. At Roston tha governor refused to clear tho vessels for Earopo; and after prolonged discussion, some nrty persons disguised as Indians went on board the vessels and threw tho tea into the hariior while a great crowd of witnesses cheered them ou. Ry suhsoqucut Acts of Parlia ment every element of union in the colo nies w;iscryst:tlizo.L The news of Lexington and Concord set the continent in a flame; when the dam burst the force pent up for nine wea ry years like an angry cyclone swept everything liefore it. Ry express along the roads tothe southward tho tiding of victory were carrie I ; men hearing it left the plow in tho furrow and rodo off to R-ston ; town committees of safety col lated money and provisions and sent them to tho same point. Now follows the Declaration of Independence tho Magna Charta of our inalienable rights "Re sol veil that these united colonies are and of right ought to lie free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown ; and that all political connection lietween them and theStateofJ.-eat Rritain Is and ought to be totally dissolve;!." There were giants in those days Richard and Henry Lee in Congress were second ed bv John Adanii. Jefferson had just hailed from the Old Dominion with the reputation of a very ready and able writer. and hy common consent th .'cominitti-e left the preparation of the first draft of the Declaration of Independence to his gifts d pen. lie wrote i(. almost at one heat ; and though parts of it were rejected or modi tied by Congress the whole instrument as-adopted by that liody (July 4. 177') must stand as Jefferson's own work.

Ho was tho Jupiter tonans the thunder of wli.wo voice reverb-rating through the halls and fulling in d llcitie l music on tho ears of the nation's rcperscntatives forever pledged them to that immortal instrument. Tho language of the Declaration, like all the American State papers of the time, was strong and direit. Ignoring Parliament, it consider ed every a.-t of oppression aimed at the colonies as the king; it oii.-IikKsI that "prin.-e whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to bo tho ruler ofafreo people." And it announced the independence of tho United States in the term i of the reso lution already mentioned. And in mat ters of municipal law the date of its adop tion is by tho division of the Supreme Court, the date of the legal existence of the United States And in that ever me morable struggle for independence the nauieof (Jeorge Washington stands su preme. A Puritan in integrity, a Quaker iu honesty, in self-abnegation and patri otism a Cincinnatus, and withal in exe cution a Ronaparte. O Father of thy country, eldest in the brotherhood of American patriotism ! First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of tby countrymen! In view of the Divine licuediction upon us as a nation, well may we join with one of old "O sing unto the Ixird a new song; for he hath done mar velous things his right hand, and his holy arm, hath g.rtten him tho viitory." i We ought still further to give thanks for our success in the preservation of our national unity. At tho breaking out of tho Civil War, the (iovernment had become so nearly baukrupt that it had oul y escaped !y paying double interest and that by the special favor of the New York banks The army had liecomc almost broken up by captures of men and material and by resignation of eomp -tent aud trust-id offi cers. The navy had come to sin-h a pass that, in Feb, 'til, a house committee re Ioriod that only two vessels one of twen- ! ty, tho other of two guns, were available j in tho defence of theentire Atlantic coast. ; It is not necessary for mo to speak of the firing upon Fort SntnptT, tho two famous i battles of Hull Run, of Pittsburg lainding, 1 of Seven Pines and Fair Oaks Antictam, I Fredericksburg, Vicksburg, (tcttysburg, ,' and Sherman's triumphant march to the j sea, when that invincible soldier wired j the telegram to Washington "Atlanta is ; o.irs aud fairly won." Nor mvd we I ppe.ik ,f th? surrender of I.ee aftr the , fall of Petersburg on the one day and that j of Richmond on the next. Now Johnson surrenders and all organized resistance ceases R it wh-.t have lieen tho salutary fruits of .s ich a vast expenditure of blood and treasure? First, the material development ofthe South. Staggering under a loud of poverty au.i iJis-.aearagrM.ient which might have appalled any otlior people, with the addition of social problem i which no other country has solved with any degreo of satisfaction, tho Southern people are beginning to feel tho atmosphere of free la!xr. Tho white man has gone to work. While white lalior produced only ten per cent, of tho cotton crop in Isijl, in lxstf it pr.Mlueed fifty-live per cent. Southern railways which hid made but a meagre comparison with those ofthe North aud West in lsoO now liegin to assume some thing of the net-work appcrranee of the latter ; they also are lieginning to concen trate into "systems' to reduce rates and expensive service, and to develop new territory. Southern manufactures now begin to affect Northern markets ; cotton mills in the South begin to reap the ad vantages of their immediate contiguity to tho raw material. Pennsylvania iron masters were startled as their product was undersold iu the Philadelphia mark ets by Southern iron, and the great min eral fields of Ten uesce and Alabama, and M ississippi, over w hich Sherman's and ILkhI's men had so lately marched, and had liocn fighting upon, were brought into notice and development. Wonderful as the general progress of the United States has been during the last three decades tho share of the New South under free Ialor has lieen one of tho most remarka ble phases Again our nation makes for itself a place among tho nations of tho earth. While she exhibited her ability to main tain her national unity, yet at the same time tho sovereignty of each individual Suite prevents the general (iovernmeut from developing into centralized tyrran ny. Thero is only one single nation in Central North America only oneiiower recognized iu this domain tho territory now iNvupied by tho United States Thank Hod constitutional democracy has certainly shown its ability to conscn etho unity of iis empire. Who were tho heroes who put their livi-s in js,piirdy to preserve this our her itage? In the halls of Liberty's Temple to. re stands Major (leorge R. M'Clellan. As an organizer of vast bodies of men the m idem Xerxes and in noble impulses as gem roils a.s Cicsar. As the venerable Scott iay down his command at his feet one is reminded of gray-haired Nestor a.-Jhe de livers his sword to tho youthful Achilles. Now stands forth Abraham Lincoln; in physical pros,rtion standing like Saul, he-ad and shoulders above all his coniciil poiaries; a paragon of wit as full of pcr- siiml magnetism as a L'alvaiiic battery,! w ith a heirt tender as a woman's aud with courage firm as granite; he faHs at the hand of a malicious assassin. Like another Moses ho led his people through tho wilderness only to die in sight ofthe promised land. And last but not least that incomparable champion an Ulysses in the subjugation of his enemies and magnanimous beyond all precedent tow ards them when surrendering! Now that s ift-eyed peace holds in her white hand the golden horn of plenty, may that glad uiiiicuium soon dawn when tho last ves tige of sectionalism shall be eliminated, when there shall be no North, no South, no East, no West. May the glad morn soon smile upon us when there shall be no differences as to economic questions, when the golden palm of the East shall grisp the silver hand of the West and the great North-west, when the lolly pine ofthe North shall stoop low enough to catch the sweet fnigraiu-e of the blushing Southern rose, and when with one united orchestra shall bo heard as tho sound of many waters the jubilant voices of seventy-millions rolling forth the grand diapason "Tho I'll ion now and Forever, one and Inseparable." 3. We should offer thanks unto Hod for our national resources. Agriculture has been the chief and most characteristic work ofthe American peo ple, that in which they have achieved the greatest results in proportion to the resources at command, that in which her economic superiority has been most strikingly apparent. In its magnitude. resources and possibilities this country is unparalleled. Several nations of Europe could lie dropped into it, and lieeomc lost to view, (ircat streams of immigration have lieen pouring in for fifty years, and yet vast spaces are yet unoccupied by human inhabitants. Tho extent of ter ritory in the Republic amazes us. More people than the earth now contains may yet be domiciled within its lines. Rut the extent of territory is less remarkable than the resources of the country. Not withstanding we feed nearly seventy millions of people, our granaries are full to repletion. Our prodm-t of grain is rapidly swelling to proportions sufficient to meet the demands of the world. And yet our efforts at cultivation are only tentative. The possibilities before us are Ivyond calculation. Providence has fur nished facilities for making this country the richest on the globe ; all tho raw ele ments of wnallh are here in sea, sky and soil. Our mineral resources arc marvelous, Pennsylvania alone produces inoro than half the coal raised in the United States and about one-eighth ofthe total yield of tho world. She is not only the Key-stone of the Arch but she is tho King of Rlaek Diamonds. Well may her own poet sing "Fair Pennsylvania! than thy mid land vales lying twixt hills of green and bound afar by billowy mountains rolling in tho blue. No lovelier landscape meets tho traveler's eye. There Ibor sows and reais its sure reward, and Peaeo and Plenty walk amid the glow and perfume of full garners" In 1V the amount of coal produced in the several States and territories (not including the local and colliery consump tion) was far beyoud ninety-live million tons and valued at tho mines at more than oiie-htiudreil and fifty-two millions of dollars. I speak nothing of gold, silver, iron ore, tin, lea.l, copper Ac. Ae. Our industrial resources beggar all description. Iu our mills factories and workshops every man, especially, if a skilled work man, can find remunerative employ ment and at wages far superior to those earned in the nations of theold world. 4. We should give thanks to (Sod be cause of our educational advantages Tho future of our country depends very largely upon tho training of tho children of to-day. They are the to-morrow of society. A pebble in the streamlet scant Has turned the course of many a river; A dew-drop on the t.uly plant Has warped the giant oak forever." In view of the fact, no lover of his country can look with any degree of al lowance ujsin any person or persons who wouW thoughtlessly, or otherwise, tamper with our public schools Our system. although not jierfect, we believe, one of the very best. It aims at the education of the entire childhood ofthe nation, and no child is to be neglected on account of poverty or color. Education is closely identified with our nation's welfare. This w ill be readily granted by every thoughtful person. The maintenance of our School System is essential, if we only consider the welfaire of those already amongst fts; but when we think of thousands of different nationalities and various faiths who aro continually la.nd- Highcst of all in Lcavenlnj rower. i ft X - f w JT Bf "sa strn b- -4 ei v ing uto!i our shores the messJty of fos tering that system In-coiues still more im perative, from the fact that a degree ft intelligence and edorntional development is demanded hy healthy, so-.i'i 1 citizen ship. With the great J iseph Coik we believe, thai in tin future eligibility to th'j right of suffni; should be based on intelligence TUt retding t-st for all voters ; this will disfranchise those who can not sjvak the English language; such k!i u!d no! bo pori.i:tte-l to vole. Tho tialeful effects of tho illiteracy incessantly po'inn;; in upon us from nbroad are al ready plainly visible, and how appalling tho thought that tho next filly years will double our population and a large xrtion of that will lie anything but Americaniz ed. In tho light of ail these facts tho Public School is a national necessity ; It is the great assimilating organ of the Usly politic. Children go into it English, Scotch, Irish, licrman, Danish, Nor wegian, Italian, French, and all come out American. To give unity and homo- geniHisuess to our population, tho Public School System is a necessity. This led Congress as early in our nation's history as 177 to order that "sch'io's and the means of education shall Iks forever encouraged ;" and Washington, in his first message, said "Knowledge in every country Is tho supreme basis of public happiness." And in his farewell message, he further adds "Promote as an object of primary importance, in stitutions for tho gonwrul d illusion of knowledge." "Tha Public school and a free Iti hie! These are the corner-stones of tho Republic, and if our nation stands at all, it must stand on these", it Is our sacred duty as American citizens to see to it that our School System, that mighty tower of strength, shall lie manlaiued and administered without interference or dictation by any sei-t or hierarchy. It Is high time for our leaders in Church aud State to sound tho alarm. "The fox harks not when he would steal the lamb." This glorious system was organized by the founders of this Republic, ami it re mains for us their children, to perfect and permanently e-.tal.iish what they so nobly lsg.ui. I am pleased with that comparatively modern innovation which displays the American flag from every school-house in the land. Teach thechil dren patriotism, and in the coming years it will bear rich, ripe fruits. Rreathes there a man with soul so dead who never to himself has said : This is my own, my native land?'' From the rock-timitid shores of the Atlantic to the golden gates of the Pacific and from the blue lakes to the MiTiny lunch of tho gulf, let the Stars and Stripes limit in majestic triumphover every scli.s.l lmiMuig in the land. "Shclt-r 1! fo-nlly from i nemy's !ia:i,i, Anil from nP foes which in.-y ttir.-.it. n our luiid. Px-.i'ltiful colors oh, r.ile them on lilah ! Let us ttht for them, tho' tlulilii:t; we die.

We ought to give thanks to (ukI iie canse of our civil and rcl:gious liiwrtii-s. Here we enjoy in tho highest measure freedom of thr-ugh;, freedom of speech and freedom of the press. (I.sl speed the American press! No longer fettered with the tyranny of censorship as in many na tions of the Old World, its power here is supreme. While the pulpit was once the oracle of wisdom and tho depository of most of tho learning in every communi ty, the press is now the high-priest in the temple of knowledge. For all secular lights aud perfections the press now wears on her starry breastplate the Urim and the Thumiiiin. While the priesthood of t he. sacred desk haa in many respects in a largo measure lost its grip on the multitudes, this highpricstcs of the world has captured the masses. She is the John the Raptist to usher in the Christ of every moral revolution. Whether in the overthrow of municipal corruption, or iu the exposure of blind pools, or bucket shops, or the scandal of lordly su gar trusts, she is the advance courier in every reform. Like the lone sentinel, she never sleeps ; away lieyond the noon of night when deep similiters have fallen upon men, she is wide awake that she may herald the morn with her early edi tion. Everywhere she speeds on her way, climbing the steps into the upper stories of the workshop, descending to the un derground opulations of our densely crowded cities finding her way to the ttliee of the lofty millionaire and to the home of tho humblest artisan. Now thrown in the door of the brown-stone mansion of the rich, and then placed in the lowly cottage of the poor. All hail to the American press ! Lmg may she live ami may her shadow never grow less. The pharos of the nation, may her light never lie extinguished ? "As miiiic tail cliff that lifts its awful form. Swells from the vale and midway leaves the storm. Though inund Its tho rolling clouds arc spread, Klenuil suiishinr settle on Its head." Here our religious lils-rties tower like the Alps alsive every other people on the face of the glolie. ( itr motto is ; Special legislation for none and equal rights for all. Here every man can worship God. according to the dictates of his own con science, under his own vine and fig-tree, none daring to molost or make him afraid. "Columbia welcomes to her doors The (iciitllc and the Jew, And Amis a home upon her shore For men of every hue. Khi-as!t not what th-irer vd may be. Nor if in prayer they lull ; Yet while she gives Ih.-ia liix-rty. One llau must coverall. The Christian may enjoy his cr. o t Beneath thtr Strip -s an 1 stars The heathen praise hi woudt-n god. And Jucnijui his cars. All freely here may ni.-et In peace In Fivsslom's ample hail. Hut all rebellious wars must ceuso; One flax uiust cover all." TJriiaa Jottings.
