F. FEHRELL, City Sexton. Astoria. Oregon, Sept. 20. 1877. PRO CL AM ATION. By the Tresidem' ok tfi k U. S I 'Washington City, Oct. 2i. 1877. f The completed circle of summer and winter - seed time and harvest has brought us to the '.accustomed seasonal which religious people celebrate with praise and thanksgiving the -enduring mercy of Almighty God. This de vout and public confession of the constant attendance of man upon the Divine Father for all good gifts of life and health, of peace and happiness, so early in our history made a habit of by our people, finds in the survey of 'the past year new grounds for its joyful and -grateful manifestations in all the blessings which descend upon benignant se:isons. This lias been a memorable year over the wide territory of our country. With all its diver . sity of soil and climate and products, the earth has yielded a bountiful return to the la bor of the husbandman. The health of the people has been blighted by no prevalent or widespread diseases. No great disasters of shipwreck upon our coasts or to our com merce" on the seas have brought loss and hard ship to merchants or mariners and the un clouded happiness of community with sym pathetic sorrow. In all that concerns our strength and peace and greatness as a na tion, in all that touches the permanence and j security of our government and the benili centinstitutions on which it rests ; in all that atfects the character and dispositions of our people and tests our capacity to enjoy and uphold the equal and free condition of society 3s now permanent and universal throughout thelhaid. The experience of the last year is conspicuously marked by the protecting prov idence of God, and is full of jiromise and hope for coming generations, L nder a sense of tlieso iinlufie obligations to the Great Ruler of times and seasons and events, let us humbly ascribe it to our own faults and frail ties, if any degree of tliat perfect concord and happiness, peace and justice which such great mercies should diiluse through the hearts and lives of our people do not alto gether and always and everywhere .prevail. Let us with onesphtt and one voice lift up praise and thanksgiving to God for his maai lold, goodness to our land, and hi? .manifest eare-for the naticai. Sow, thcr&ore, T. Rutherford B. JIayes, President of the united States, do appoint Thursday, the)th day of November next, as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, and i earnestly cecommeud that witlid rawing themselves from secular cares aii'l labors. ;he ,people of the United States do meot together on that day in their respective places ol wor ship, there to give thanks and praise to Al mighty God for Hls mercies, and. to devoutly beseech their continuance, - lit witness whereof, etc. E, B.

The Springfield Republican calls attention to the fact that ad vertising on board fences and dead walls is being abandoned from a conviction of its general uselessness. The practice was rec ently denounced at the convention of Stove Manufacturers of the couu try. at Detroit, where the President said: If wo would make the best possible use of our money wesnouia patronize aoiy con ducted and responsible newpnper. He added: "the newspaper is immeasurably the best medium open to our trade; the most liberal and expert advertisers testily to its value, and in the employment ol its columns we would find a means of escape lrom wasteful undignified and ineffective methods." Live commercial men everywhere are fully sensible of the great ben erit derived from adveriiMiig All the great fortunes, especially in the retail trade, have been made by that process. Advertising means the bringing home to the greatest number of people possible a knowl edge of the things which one has for sale. In large communities thou sands of persons tin. that they are in need of a certain article. There are miles on miles of stores where they will be sure to find it. But they do not want to spend a large amount or time hunting for it. It is just at this point that the experc advertiser makes his hit. lie has managed by some method of reach ing the public eye to impress the fact upon a majority of individuals that he is the man who has the arti cles sought to sell and on the most reasonable terms. They go strai ght to his store and make their nurchase, while the small number that had not been impressed by his advertising jro floundering about till they obtain what they want. They fall to the tradesman who has done no advertising. Ilis buis nets, tor this reason, is one of acci dent. His sole dependence is loca tion. 13ut for some time there has been a doubt as to the best methods of disseminating the knowledge, nec essary to success in businesas, at least as regards miscellaneous ad vertising. Board fences and dead walls everywhere are covered with advertisements. The punels of street cars; the entrances to the fer lies and all places where there is a constant gathering of the masses are tilled with inviutions to buy. But it is beginning to be a question whether any real benefit is derived from this practice. The purchaser who is caught by this method has io carry away in his memory the number and street. For this feat few are competent A great many do not care to take so much trouble. Again, these advertisements are so scattered that the result is mental coufusion. One brings away wilh him an idea in which all sorts of incongruous things are mixed up. Impossible elephants and pre-Rap-haelile sketches do not help mat. ters. The chances are that the de vice gels attached to the wrong thing. In addition to this, there is something akiu to resentment in the minds ot most persons at this unwarrantable intrusion on their privacy. There is a desire to look upon a fence, or a wall, or a land scape without being reminded that somebody "lias something to sell. The newspaper is open to none of these objections. Under the system of classitication which now prevails, what is wanted can be reached in a moment. Besides, it is at home where the newspaper is that people makes up their minds to purchase. They are not, in one case in ten thousand, reminded by posters or rude paintings that they want something. They dodge the dodgers whenever that nuisance preseuts itself. If the tact could be o-ot at," we think it would be found that not one buyer m a thousand has been attracted by all the taw dry advertising that is so liberally spread along the streets and roads leading through and to the city. Jfor the reasons stated no hing else could be expected, for to fix on the mind the locality of one's bmsness 1 and the articles one has for sale, more .is required than a fence ad vertisement, which is never more I than naif digested, if it is not abso lutely ignored through resentment. iZrsKMerchants wishing the popular; I 'credit check" can purelme them nlTnK AfaTORiAtf office, at less than Uhieapo prices. he checks are rapidly growing in favor. No business man who ha ever tried the system will ever abandon it. It saves book keeping, saves los, to both most desirable mode of transacting a c inout Try it. '.credit business. MISCELLANEOUS.
