THANKSGIVING DAY.

By Editor

PRESIDENT ARTHUR, and after him, Governor Perkins, has set apart Thursday, November 24, as a day of public thanksgiving. If ever such an action was appropriate it is peculiarly so at the present time. By an oversight the notice was omitted from our paper last week. We trust it will be observed generally by our churches; not in feasting and "riotous living," but in meeting together to render thanksgiving to Him who is the giver of every good gift. As a people and a nation we are highly favored. It is impossible to reckon up the blessings which are constantly showered upon us. As this paper will reach most of its readers in this State before that day, we think fitting to call attention to that subject.
