Thanksgiving Day.

YESTERDAY being the day set apart for offering up thanks to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest and other blessings vouch- sifed during the year, was generally observed throughout the Dominion. In Charlotte- town there were the usual special services in the churches, agd most of the stores and public offices were closed. ‘We certainly have much to be thankful for. The season has, on the whole, been a prosperous one. The crops throughout the Dominion are re- ported good. Although the wet weather retarded harvesting operations here as well as elsewhere, it is pleasing to learn that the different crops have been gathered without any very material loss to the husbandman. In Ontario, it is said’ that notwithstanding previous reports to the contrary the crop iseven better than in the last few years, and throughout Nova Scotia, according to the official reports, the returns are very sttisfactory. From New Brunswick also comes the pleasing news ofa bountiful yield. ‘*Praise God from whom all blessings flow.”
