By President Hayes: tf5...;f i..-re r. ~
At no period in their history since the United
States became nation has this people had so
abundant and SO universal reasons for ioy and
gratitude at the favor of Almighty God, or been
subject to as profound an obligation to give
thanks for his loving kindness, and humbly to
implore his continued care and protection.
Health, wealth and prosperity throughout all
our borders peace, honor and friendship with
all the world: the firm and faithful adherence
by the great body of our population to the prin-
ciples of liberty and Justice, which have made
our greatness as nation, and the wise institu-
tons and strong frame of government and So
ciety which will perpetuate it-for all these let
the thanks of a happy and united people, as
WITH one voice ascend in devout homage
to- the giver of all good. l therefore
recommend that on Thursday, the 25th of No
vember next, the people meet in their respective
places of worship to make the Acknowledgement
to Almighty God for His bounties and His pro-
lection, and to offer to him prayer for their
CONTINUANCE. e,..r. .., ...... ....,t.

Candelaria is without doubt the

there are of them, are poorly built, and
cold wind that has been blowing for the
past few days goes through as easily as
it would throught sieve. Agreat many
people still live In tents. Wood costs
$40 and is scarce and poor ut that. It
takes a capitalist to keep q fire going
here. Water is retailed at five cent
gallon and is hauled in wagons from
Columbus, eight miles. This water is
not very good, being impxegnated with
alkah, bat the average Candelarian
doesn't care much for that, the majority
of them prefering beer, which, by the
way, is sold st the rate CT DIT drink

Chinese letter alleged to have been written by
James A. Garfield, eliminated in bloody riot
on the 31st ult. About noon on that day q mob

the innocent Mongols. One was dragged
about the street with rope about his neck
until his skull was crushed in with boots and
bricks; another was hung over his own door.
The fire department was ordered to throw
water on the frenzied mass Of rioters, but they
assaulted the fire laddies and badly wounded
two of them. Every China house, with two or
three exceptions were Quilted. -Four or five
rioters were wounded, one seriously, being shot

The Swiss cantons are gradually establishing
capital punishment. after having tried the leni-
ent policy of imprisoning murderers for life.
Within the last week several crimes of peculiar
atrocity have been committed. Thus in one of
the cantons bordering on Germany man set
fire to farm house and caused the death of
i've persons; in the canton of Lucerne, child
only years old was murdered by some tramps,
ard at Berne locksmith shot a young man
who was guilty of no worse offense than that of
fishing on his land without leave The colonel
of regiment was mdrdered in the canton of
Ticino, by a man with whom he had remonstrat-
ed III a case for using bad language, and though
the crime was committed In the presence of
several people the assassin was allowed to es-
cape. All these crimes have created very
strong feeling among the people in favor of
oaptal punishment.
