HT. Spea1eT Sir, our feller citizen Mister
Silas Higgins, who was lately A member of
this legislature, is dead, and he died Yesterday
In the forseoen. he had the browncreturs,
and was an unoosamon individual His char
acter was good up 10 the time Of his aoath.
and he never lost Els voice lie was fftv-sir
years old, and was taken sick before he died
at his boarding house, where board can be had
at one seventy-f five a week, washing and lights
included. He was an ingenus creatur, and in
the early part Of his life had father and
mother. He was an officer in our State militia
since the last war, and was brave and polite,
aud his uncle, Timothy Higgins, belonged 10
the revolutionary war, and was commissioned
as leftenant by General Washington first
President and commander in chief Of the army
and navy of the United States who died at
Mount Vernon deeply lamented by a large
circle of friends, on the 14th Of December, 1899,
or there abOuts, and was buried after his death
with military hOnOrs, and several guns was
bust in firing salutes.
Sir, Mister Speaker, Sir, General Washing
ton presided over the great continental sand
hedrum and political meeting that formed our
Constitution; and he was indeed a great and
good man. He was fust in war, fust in peace and
fust in the hearts of his country, and tho ho
was in favor Of the United States bank he wat
a friend to edication, and from what nc said
in his farewell address 1 have no doubt he
would have voted for the tariff of 1888 if hu
had been alive and had Mt died some time be-
forehand. His death was considered at the
time as rather premature on account Of its be-
ing bro't on by an ordney clold.
Now, Sir, Mister Speaker, such being the
character Of General Washington, motion
that we ware Grape around the left arm Of this
legislature, and adjourn till tomorrow morn
ing as an emblem Of our respects for the
memory Of S. Higgins who is dead, and died
Of the brown creturs yesterday in the fore

DURING the great Miller excitement, VIII n
people got more zeal than common sense into
their head, and were ready at all times TO
seize upon the smallest mite and magnify ii into
mountain, or something larger, an old lady
came into Boston from the country to sec the
winding up OF all things terrestrial
Being brimfull Of religious zeal, she could
see no good in anything but Millerism; and as
she in company with another lady, was talking
about the cOnhagration Of this wicked world,
she glanced her eyes across the street, and ex-
claimed, in an unearthly tone
"Oh, Lord, what are we coming TO, I, Only
look over on that ere sign, where it ssys,
q Perishing souls and umbelievers made anu
repaired here! 10
The sign read thus
"Parasol and umbrellas made and repaired
here"
Nothing could induce the old lady to remain
longer in city so given to Satan, aud she
therefore "put" for the country.
