 Am Eventful Occasion in the History of | the New Haven Orphan Asylum. | To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER The lady managers upon whom the care of
 the orphan asylum rested during the prevalence | of the smallpox and varioloid in 1856 suggest
 that a report of the services rendered during this affiictive sickness by Deacon George F.
 Smith, Alfred Daggett, Esq, and Dr. Charles
 L. Ives be added to the interesting historical
 sketch recently published.
 These gentlemen for three weeks or more when the institution was placed under a strict quarantine by the panic stricken public, de- voted large part of their time in minister
 ing to the family. In consequence of the im- proper management of the apparatus the boiler of the steam heater exploded at this
 most unpropitious time, and through their
 efforts new boiler was supplied at the ear-
 Hest possible date.
 These gentlemen also persuaded two re- spectable American women to act as nurses, who being sisters and willing to aid each
 other nobly fulfilled the painful duty. They
 also provided daily supply of food for the family, encouraged and cheered the in door workers visited the sick repeatedly every
 day, and when one of the little sufferers
 passed away they themselves aided in the
 sad solitary burial. No public attention was
 given to these facts at the time they occur
 red. The self-denying, modest, Christian
 workers did not desire it, but now that they
 have entered their heavenly rest on this h.
 niversary a grateful tribute of appreciation
 and respect is their due
