A Recommendation by the President
Of the limited States. .4....-..
WOleOttoille, Isne lsM, 1919.

At a season when the Providence of
Con has manifested itself in the visitation
of fearful pestilence which is spread
ing its ra~ages throughout the land, it is
fitting that People whose reliance has
ever been in His protection, should hum
bic themselves before His throne, and,
while acknowledging past transgressions,
ask continuance of the Divine Mercy.
1t is therefore earnestly recommended
that the FIEsf FR1DA9 IN AUGUST be OBJ
served throughout the United States as
day Of fasting, humiliation, and prayer
All business wild be suspended in the va
rieas branches of the public service on
that day; and is recommended to per-
sons Of all religious denominations to alb
stain, as far as practicable, from secular
occupation, and to assemble in their re.
spectiNe places of Public Worship, to
acknowledge the infinite goodness which
has watched over our existence as a ma
ton and SO long crowned US with mani
fold blessings, and to implore the Almigh-
ty, in His own good time, to stay the
destroying hand which is now lifted up
against us. z. TAYLOR.

sOlicitude, disease increased, reason became
disenthroned, and the equilibrium Of his In

How earnestly did she, who watched his
wasting breath, seek 10 penetrate with her
voice the closed door of his reason, and
awaken it from its slumberl Every express
ion of his eye, every infection Of his voice,
was noted, half hoping, half responding,
hour after hour, until disease had accoth>
plished it's work of death, and the vital
spark had fed, never to return. And now,
the rich harvest Of reputation which he'd
ven seemed to have designed as his inherit
lance, is left for others. Though absen
from the field of his useful labors, his me-
mory will be ever cherished by all who
knew him. Time is conveying ms all on
ward in its restless course. Soon we, and
all our generation, shall have been sum
moned 10 appear with him in the assembled

LOngeViiy.-Mrs. MARGARET HteLEX'
widow of the late Simeon Higlcy, is now
living in Canaan in this County, aged lOl
years and month;-haying been born
on the 10th of November, l747. On
her hundredth birthday Nov. l6. 1919
the Rev. Harley Goodwin, Pastor Of the
Congregational Church in South Ca
naan, preached q sermon appropriate to
the occasion, which was published
In his preface he says:
~To friends at a distance it may be
gratifying to know, that Mrs. Higley has
not yet passed beyond a ripe, if she has
beyond a green old age. Erectas a girl
of eighteen, if not as nimble, she not long
since walked abroad to some of her neigh
bors. Her hearing is not greatly inA-
paired. Her second sight has come and
gone but with the aid Of glasses she
reads without much difficulty, and not
many months since, exercised her skill
in fine needle-work. She retains her
judgment, and expresses her opinion in
reference to the concerns Of the house
and farm, and the movements Of society;
obtains considerable knowledge of cur
rent events, in addition to remembering
those long ago past; ccnverses readily
and intelligently with those who call up
on her; enjoys the society Of the old and
young and manifests an interest in all
that relates to church and state She
suffers some occasionally FROM rheuaaa-
tism. But if nothing but that and age
prey upon the vitality of her constitu-
ton, she may live sometime longer, a wit
ness of the faithfulness Of God to the
righteous.
The subject of this notice is a native
of sinasbury, Conn.,, and daughter Of
Jonathan and Martha Phelps. Mr.. Hig-
ley removed with his family from Sims
bury to Canaan about Fifty years ago,
where he died in 1922, aged II, being
four years younger than his wife.
1t is a singular that the only other
person in Canaan who has ever compile
ted century, was the mother Of Mrs.
Higley-who died many years since in
the house where Mrs. HI. still resides, al
the age of 100 years and months. Her
maiden name was Martha LOOMS was
a native of West6eld, Mass. She had
three husbands, viz, Jonathan Phelps,
Jonathan Buttles, and Zebulon Hoskins.
In early life she was accustomed with
others to 60 to fort to sleep nights, tc
avoid the tomahawk and scalping knife
When Deerfed was burnt, she saw the
blaze of the fire and in her old age usec
to tell many an Indian story Of fearful
import.

Correspondence Of the Enquirer.
The Swift Messenger.
New YoRK, July 4, 1S49.


The number of new cases Of Cholera
in this city to-day, is "a. The angel of
death, whose visage none can look upon
without emotion, is. always abroad, but
the pestilence has ever been regarded by
rejecting minds as peculiarly dread
messenger of heaven. 1t has sometimes
been sent forth in style Of execution
actually aair@cusous. It was SO when in
a single night it traversed Egypt, and
slew the 6rst-born of every family.
In other instances, nGt~rA cawses have
to some extent been obvious. And in
such cases, multitudes, for whose admo-.
milton it was sent, have come stupidity
and irreverently to overlook the divine
hand.
In the councils Of Heaven, it has at
length seemed necessary to send forth
the destroyer in aspects peculiarly mys-
terious, as we'll as terrible. The great
pestilence of modern times is the Cholera.
Twenty years ago it first traversed the
globe, and soon swept fifty millions into
eternity. 1t is again ON its march, and
with undiminished power. Its form and
course Of progress are unaccountable.
Its causes, aside from the sins of mankind
al d the changeless laws of Heaven, are
undiscovered. The most that science
and experience have ascertained in regard
to it, is little light as TO it's exciting
causes and the symptoms of its onset,
and very few oounteraeting influences.
The Cholera is again beginning to Wis
it city and country throughout our con-
tinent, exciting universal inquiry and in
creased apprehension. Nor perhaps is
it reasonable to expect that this destroy
ing angel will have command from Heav-
en- to cease the work of desolation till
men, especially in Christian communities,
are brought fully and huaably to recog-
nize in it the presence and power Of the
Supreme Disposer. What but palpa-
BILE miracle could more clearly make it
as visitation from the Most High? But
the age of miracles is past, and men are
to gain wisdom and take warning, alike
from the word and providence of God.
Why then should not Christians-rulers
and people-view with solemn awe the
uplifted sword, recognize the justice Of
this terrible chastisement, abjure the sins
which may have occasioned it, and with
united heart and voice raise the earliest,
penitentiai cry, ",Spese &ky people, O
Lord!
Would that those in Church and State,
ON whom peculiar responsibility rests
at such a crisis, might now, in some form,
devoutly as we'll as kindly summon all to
duty. Who can tell,"-said the an.
| Gent and hoaored Chief Magistrate Of
millions, whose PROCLAMATION for Fas'
was thought worthy of divine record fol
all coming generations" who can tell i
God aOiN turn asOay from his fierce anger
that sUe perish not!" A. D.
