By the President of the United States of America —A proclamation: It lias long been the pious cus tom of our people, with the closing of the year, to look back upon the blessings brought to them in the changing course of the seasons, and to return solemn thanks to the All Giving Source from whom they flow. And although at this period when the falling leaf admonishes us that the time of our sacred duty is at hand, our nation still lies in the shadow of a great bereavement, and the mourn ing which has tilled our hearts, still finds its sor rowful expression toward the God before whom we but lately bowed in grief and supplication. Yet the countless benefits which have showered upon us during the pgst twelve months call for our fervent gratitude, and make it fitting that we should rtyoiee with thankfulness that the Lord in His infinite mercy has most signally favored our country and our people. Peace without and pros perity within have been vouchsafed to us. No pestilence has visited our shores. The abundant privileges of freedom, which our fathers left us in their wisdom, are still our increasing heritage. And if, in parts of our vast domain, some affliction has visited our brethren in their forest homes, yet even this calamity has been tempered and in a man ner sanctified by the generous compassion for the suffers which has been called forth throughout our land. For all these things it is meet tliat the voice of the nation should go up to God in devout hom age. Wherefore I, Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States, do recommed that all the peo ple observe Thursday, the 21th day of November, inst., as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, by ceasing so far as may be, from their secular la bors and meeting in their several places of worship, there td join in ascribing honor and praise to Al • mighty God, whose goodness has been so manifold in our history and in our lives, and offering earnest prayers that His bounties may continue to us and to our children. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord 1881, and of the the United States, 106. rStgnedJ CHESTER A. ARTHUR. By the President. JAMES G.

It is as follews: In-the name and by the authority of the Gom monwevlth of Pennsylvania, Henry M. Iloyt, Gov ernor of said Commonwealth: APR H <,AMATION During a season of drought and partial failure of the harvests, which in a less fruitful land would have brought famine and dis tress, and iu a time of public trial and tribulation, which under less happy institutions might have led to dissension and strife, the people of the United States and particularly of Pennsylvania, have been preserved in health, in estate and in peace. Now, therefore, I, Henry M. Iloyt, Governor of Pennsylvania, do ordain and set apart Thursday, November 24th. A. I). 1881, (being the day appoint ed by the President of the United States), for the observance of those religious services, recognizing the beneficence and care of the Father of us all, and those household customs, strengthening the bonds of families and common brotherhood, in which the into honored traditions of the Commonwealth have been embodied in thanksgivlhg and prayer of a grateful pople. Given under my hand and the great seal of the State at Harrisburg, this tenth day of [L. S.] November, in the year of our Lord 1881 and of the Commonwealth the 106 th. (Signed) HENRY M. IIOYT, Governor. M. S. Quay, Secretary of the Commonwealth. WHAT'S IN A NAME? —The Harrisburg Patriot says the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer lost many votes in his own party because his name was "Or ange." Not very complimentary to the intelligence of the voters. Secretary Quay deviues the import of the Independent vote and declares for Grow and Caven for Governor and Lieu tenant Governor next year—a ticket that ought to satisfy even Mr. Wolfe, but it wont. The standard bearer's name ought to begin with Win his opinion. i The yield of cotton in Alabama is esti mated at eighty per cent, of last years, Mississippi, eighty-live per cent, and Ten nessee, fifty-seven.
