A PROCLAMATION.
Fellow CITIZENS The revolutions of the
year have again brought us to our annual
festival of Thanksgiving to Ain mighty God.
In no preceding year have we had more
abundant cause for gratitude and praise
The revolving seasons have brought with
them health and plenty. The summer fruits
and the autumn harvests have been gather
ed and garnered in unwonted exuberance. A
healthiul activity has pervaded all the de-
partments of life; and provident industry has
met with a generous reward The increase
of material wealth has been literally EN-.
ployed in sustaining our Educational and
Religious Institutions and both are making
the most gratifying progress IN enllehtening
and purifying the public mind. While. in
Europe, central and absolute governments,
by their pressure on personal rights and lib
erty, are producing excitemeDts. which
threat to upheave the very foundations of
society, and have led, in some instances, to
! bloody and cruel wars, we, in the enjoyment
of constitutional liberty, and under the pro-
| lection of just and equal laws. are peaceful
! ly pursuing the avocatons of life, and enga
ging in whatever promises to advance our So
cial and individual improvement and bappi-
, ness. The lines are" indeed, "fallen to us
in pleasant places, and we have a goodly
/ heritage" 10 all this we see the erderings
of kind and merciful Providence, which
calls not only for our recognition, but for our
public Thanksgiving ard Praise.
Under this conviction, I, WILLIAM F..
PACKER Governor of the Commonwealth
of Pennsy sylvania. do hereby appoint
Thursday. the Twenty v-ninth day Of NO
Yember n ext,
To be observed as a day OF public Thanksgiv-
ing and Prayer, and recommend to all our
people, tnat setting aside on that day, all
worldly pursuits, they assemble in their re-
spective places of worship. and unite in offer
ing Thanks to God for his manifold good
ness, and imploring his forgiveness and the
continuance of his mercies.

A correspondent of the Eoening Bulletin,
thus describes the recent launch of barge.
at Schuylkill Haven:
ScHUYLKILL HAVEN, Oct. 31st, 1904
beautiful barge was launched few days ago
at Schuylkill Haven of which Captain Mar
tin Wagner is commander and owner. She
has at present her first cargo on board, con-
signed to the city of Troy, New York. She
is capital craft, built by VIM. SayEoY; she

adapted to shipping of merchandise of every

and honored with the name of our present es-
teemed incumbent elect, Governor A. @. Cur
tin, given her by Thomas Zulich, Esq, the
worthy Collector of this port. Her beautiful
fancy name, which appears well executed,
and looks very imposing, was designed and
'lettered by John II. Guertler. Esq, an aged
gentleman of this place. one of the Cnrtin
Fencbles of Schuylkill Haven, and person
who Displayed very warm and decided in
terest in behalf Of, and for the election Of
Col, Curtin He is much distinguished for
bringing out novel and fancy designs in
which he generally displays fine taste. With
pen and ink, very few can excel Mr.. Guert-
Ter, through city, town, or country.
The name of this pretty barge is over
arched, with thirteen stars, in lieu of the
original thirteen States, and among which,
the central star measures double the size a
the others, meaning 20 represent the Key
stone of the federal arch, Pen nnsylyania, an

who thus appears surrounded with halo
and galaxy of stars of the old American Uni.
