Thanksgiving.
Every human being in the United State®
of North America, even though his or her
condition be u desperate m was that of i
Miss Hannah, whoee story we print on our
first page, can, if they wish, find some
material advantage for which they can ex
press thanks to the Supreme Being.
All nations have their distinctively
national holidays, and Thanksgiving Day
and Decoration Day are ours. It seems
that the New Englanders observed ttpuf'
sort of a Thanksgiving Day bejflrf the
Revolution, and that after evolution
the Presidents of the, United States occa
sionally selected-S day for the giving of
Ihink-V the Creator for some special
providence, or lor fasting and prayer if the
Nation was is distress, but it was not until
the days of the civil war, when Abraham
Lincoln was President, that a day was
■elected towards the elora of each year, for
fasting, prayer and thanksgiving.
In those days fasting and prayer may
have been the chief features of the day,
but now that the Nation has become
wealthy and prosperous, and is at peace
with all the world, the composition and
preparation of the dinner for that day, the
physical enjoyment to be derived from eat
ing it, and the social enjoyment connected
with the affair occupy our minds more than
any thoughts of gratitude.
However, the people of this Nation have
e ause to be gratefbl for their prosperity,
f or civil and religious liberty, for equality
before the law, and for all the advantages
that our climate, soil, free government,
education and intelligence bring us.
The people of Bnt.'er county can be
especially gratefnl for the continued de
velopment of its mineral resources, for the
invisible fuel that heats our dwellings and
runs our factories; and we can pray that
our character for morality, sobriety and in
telligence may be maintained and in
creased.
The people of Butler can be thankful for
for a prosperity unparalleled in her history,
and tor oar prospects of getting out of the
mud.
Tbm ia always something to he thank-
Ail for. If things have gone against yon,
be thankfal they are not worse. There is
a silver lining to every cloud; so stop com
plaining for oM day and unite in giving
thsAka.

The Feast of Thanks.
Tears pass like winds that cease to blow,
Like stars that fall from heaven's dome;
By winds oCpean, by winter snow
Vnquenched, still gleam the lights of
home.
Among the living or the dead,
O, hearts we love where'er ye be,
For you the sacred board is spread,
Tho feast of Love and Memory!
Clear eyes fulfilled of holier light,
Clear souls at peace past death's dim
banks,
Through all that gloom of utter night,
Come, keep with us the day of thanks!
The waves of storm-scourged years that
roar
May fleck the golden head with foam;
By the old hearths we sit no more;
Yet God be thanked for love and home!
Though hopes aad joys, like April snow,
May melt, tkongk good or grief befall;
For all man's life, for bliss or woe,
Be thank* said at this festival!
Old homes, old hopes, old friends, old days
Wherefrnm (all many a season parts—
For all, for all, to God bo praise,
And most for lore and kindly hearts!
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
Several persons hare lately been kiileil
at the railroad crossings in New Brighton
and Beaver Falls, and a few days ago a
daughter of Jos. H. Alexander of this
county who was visiting relatives in Beaver
Falls had a narrow escape.
The town of Parker has had several
sensations lately. On Saturday evening
the IS the inst. John Duff was assaulted,
beaten and gagged on the street-*, and
then taken to his honse, and robbed; and
on the following Tuesday evening some
twenty persons who took supper at the
Parker Honse were poisoned by eating
corn-cake, made of meal into which some
Hough on-Rats had accidently fallen.
An attempt was made to "hold up ' a
barber named Poole, near Emlenton a
few nights ago, but the barber "let fly with
right" when he saw a chance to do so an<l
downed the would be robber.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Campbell, who live
near the line of South Beaver township,
are remarkable examples of longevity and
vigor. He is 90 years of age and she is 82.
They have been married 65 years. The old
lady conducts her own correspondence and
writes a good, clear hand. The old
man enjoys reading the T"
about the piece as he plejgjt^*^
A thirteen ygp«K<Tdson of George W alsh.
of Jefferson Co. attempted
by taking laudanum. Prompt
measures restored him to consciousness.
The youth gave as a reason for his ra*h act.
that life was a burden to him on account
of his troubles, and it is said that he had
threatened to shoot himself before. In
this connection the Brockwayville Record
wisely remarks: "Troubles are for grown
people. "When a boy feels that he is tired
of life instead of bubbling over with
spirits and cussedness, there is something
out of whack in that boy's surroundings
that needs looking after, and it needs look
ing after mighty bad."
Just prior to the battle of Gettysburg, a
soldier who thought he would fall in that
engagement made a request of John Am
brose, an old soldier now residing in "West
moreland county,which has just been com
plied with. Mr. Ambrose was himself in
jured in the battle and afterwards drifted
away, so that he was unable at the time to
carry out the wishes of his comrade. Be
fore the fight the soldier went to Ambrose,
and giving him a package of papers,among
which were sls in gold, said he did not ex
pect to survive the fight, and asked Am
brose to secrete the package between the
rocks, and after the war was over to secure
it and return it to his wife. Ambrose, who
lost a leg in this battle, did so, and when
he went to Gettysburg a short time ago
found the package where he leit it. The
gold was intact and was returned to the
widow of his friend, but the papers hail
long since rotted.
The extent ol the grape crop of Chau
tauqua county, N. Y., is surprising. To
get an idea of the immensity, take these
facts: There were shipped from Fredonia,
Brocton and other stations in the county
1,200 car-loads of grapes, equal to 3,360,-
000 ninepound baskets or 30,240,000 pounds,
or 15,120 tons, making 40 trains of cars, 30
cars to each train. If the baskets were
laid in a straight line, end to end, they
would reach twice the distance from Buf
falo to Chicago of 864 miles. This does
not include the large amount of grapes sold
from wagons throughjthe southern portion
of the county, or the immense crops grown
in other counties in the lake shore region.
A good one is told of a certain Beaver
countian who recently mustered up enough
courage to propose to his best girl. She
hesitated, but finally accepted him, just as
her twin sister entored the parlor with a
lighted lamp. The happy fellow then dis
covered that he had proposed to the wrong
girl. The one he aJored was named Mary,
the other Martha, and the only way Mary
con Id be told from Martha was by a small
mole nnder Mary's right ear. His spologies
were profuse, but the sisters kept him in
hot water for an hour; then Martha released
him from the engagement and the room.
It was too good a joke for Martha to keep,
and she whispered it to one or two of our
hero's friends next day. That's how it got
out
A stock company with SIOO,OOO has been
formed for the purpose of erecting a new
refinery on the "White farm near Taylors
town, Washington Co. The location has
been well chosen, owing to the fact that
the great production of crude oil in the
immediate locality, and the excellent ship
ping facilities offered by the B. iO. It is
proposed to lay a pipe line across the
country to Cbartiers.
Some coon hunters built a fire to get
warm by, and burned a million feet of
hemlock lumber, property of Thomas Ford,
of Elk county, entailing a loss of $4,000.
A West Chester colored man became so
much interested in a political discussion
that ho walked away without his crutches,
that had been bis constant companions for
years.
FOSSILS and Balm of Gilead are admitted

Lines on the Death of Mrs.
Martha Gilkey.
We know of lands of fadeless bowers.
We know of shores of deathless flowers,
Grand blossoms rich and rare
Breathing fragrance in the air,
But in that land we cannot see.
There a sonl is made so free
That it feels no pain or loss,
It has the crown but not the cross.
Friends who look through mists of tears,
Friends who stand on eartlr's dark sphere
You cannot see the shining way,
You cannot see her opening day,
And yet, amid earth's cress anil woe
Some sweet message you may know,
How her soul has found the light,
How she passed the dismal night
Ere she soared to yon bright shore
Where she ne'er will suffer more.
She has heard her mother's voice
That which makes the soul rejoice,
She has heard a father's tone,
And she is not there alone.
She has an angel sister there
Beautiful and bright and fair,
And an angel baby boy
Once a mother's prido and joy;
She has heard the voice which here
She has mourned for many a year,
been the faces which she lost
O'er the river she has crossed;
She has found the better land
Where the purple violets grow.
She has seen where angels stand,
Passed from toil and earthly woe.
So, dear friends, there in the light
■ We'll say good morn but not good-night,
O, send us all from shores above
The benediction of thy love.
