Inclosing his Proclamation the Governor makes the following appropriate remarks: "I further recommend that on the day thus set apart all the people of the State whom Providence has favored with an abundance of life's comforts shall es­ pecially remember the poor, the needy and the distressed, and by public bouuty or private charity not only fur­ nish them with food ind clothing to enable them to be especially thankful to Providence and their fellow-men Thanksgiving Day, but that steps may be taken to reasonably caro for them during the coming winter." IN "Bullet and Shell" the Private Soldier stands out distinctly In hi* In­ dividual capacity--a man among men. We see him benumbed by cold, unnerv­ ed by pain, glorying In victory, plucky in defeat, famishing, foraging, feeding, fighting. We follow him day and night by a tortuous path through his event­ ful, variable, and picturesque career. For°the first time we are permitted to look into camps of twenty years ago snd get an inside view of War as the Soldier saw it. This voice from the ranks brings absorbingly interesting lessons, not only in history, but In actual warfare, and will find a hearty welcome in hundreds of thousands of American homes. A. G.

THE Automatic Heed Pipe Clariona Is a new musicel instrument arranged to play music automatically by the use of perforated music sheets, mounted on spools or rollers, and surpasses any simila^instruiuent hitherto manufac­ tured. It has a much greater power and volume of tone than any other •mall automatic Instrument, and the tone has the peculiar carrying quality and efleet of thn large pipe organ. The Clariona is adapted to all kinds ot Ytausic--operatic, dance, popular and sacred, which can be played upon it with great expression, and in view of Its reasonable price, it is destined to be, pre-eminently, the people's instru­ ment. It will bring enjoyment to the rich as well as the poor in thousands of homes where the voice of song has never entered. Any person, even a child,can play the Clariona without previou* study or practice, and the variety of inusic being arranged ror it Is practically unlimited. The per­ forated music, mounted ou spools, is a great improvement on the long and in­ convenient music sheets hitherto used in similar Instruments. The spools are a safeguard against damage to the music, whinh, with ordinary care, will last many years. O. W. Owen lias them for sale. Call at his store and $$# and hear one.' EN TERTA1NMKNT.

The whersaboutB of Wm. England. Jr., still renialns a mystery.)It Is prob­ able, however, that the public have heen mistaken In supposing that Ills object in leaving so suddenly was to defraud Mr.'Morrison.VSo Tar as we can learn he was last heard of in Chicago, where he had gone to buy more goods and make a payment on previous pur­ chases, loaviug the horse, wagon and contents at IIuutly. He made a pay­ ment, and telegraphed Mr^Morrison to conie and buy more goods. M irrlson failed to appear, and this, combined with a series of circumstances unneces sary to state here, apparently cum pleteiv disgusted England with his partnership. This is the other side of tliestorv: England claims that there was money due him on commission tor goods sold, that In reality Morrison has lost nothing by him. Just hew the matter stands, ol course we do not pre tend to say. We do, however, wish to give the absent st least a show. Oae thing is sure, and thae is that whether honest or dishonest, it was a very un­ wise thing to leave in that kind of a way gi/iug no explanation to any one, especially when there were a number of little bills ngainst him here, and no provision made for settling them.
