classes of our citizens, are circumstanc which
peculiarly mark our situation with indications
of the divine benefcence toward US. In such
state of things it is in especial manner our
duty as a people, with devout reverence and
afrectionate gratitude, to acknowledge our many
and great obligations to Almighty God, and to
implore Him to continue and confirm the bless
ings we experienced.
Deeply penetrated with this sentiment
George Washington, President of the United
States do recommend to all religious societies
ana denominations and to all persons whom
soever, within the United States, to set apart
and observe Thursday, the 18th day OF February
next, as a day of public thanksgiving and
prayer, and on that day to meet together and
render sincere and hearty thanks to the great
Ruler of nations for the manifold and signal
mercies which distinguish our let as nation,
particularly for the possession of constitutions
of government which unite and by their union,
establish liberty with order; for the preserva
ton of our peace foreign and domestic; for
the reasonable control which has been given to
spirit of disorder in the suppression of the
late instruction, and generally for the pros
porous condition of our affairs, public and pri
vate and at the same time humbly and fervently
beseech the Kind Author of these blessings
graciousy to prolong them to us to imprint on
hearts deep and solemn sense of our obli-
cations to Him for them; TO teach us rightly to
estimate their immense value; to preserve us
from the arrogance of prosperity. and from
hazarding the advantages we enjoy by delusye
pursuits, to dispose US to merit the continuance
of His favors by not abusing them, by our graf
itude for them, and by a corresponding conduct
as citizens and as men to render this country
more and more a safe and propitious asylum for
the unfortunate of other countries; to extend
among us true and useful knowledge; to difruse
and establish habits of sobrety, order, morality,
and piety, and finally to imeart all the blessings
we possess or ask for ourselves to the whole
family of mankind.
In testimony whereof, have caused the seal
of the United States of America to be affixed to
these presents, and signed the same with my
hand. Done at the city of Philadelphia the first
day of January, 1875.

A BELOW-DECkS HERO.
Remarkable Bravery of Boilermaker
Huntley of the "Castine"

BY the President
EDM. RANDOLPH.

Remarkable Bravery of Boilermaker
Huntley of the "Castine".
w hen the bancroft" went to work to
batter the walls OF san Juan, for some
reason she had to slip out of action, and
her place WAS taken by the little gunboat
"Castine", which without delay opened
her batteries upon the fort. The Gas
tine" went into action under full steam,
her triple screws revolving at the fullest
speed her 2,l99 horse power could make
them spin, and her battery OF eight guns
started her quivering with excitement
and the fierce delight of battle. The
furnaces were heated almost to white
heat, and the forced draft WAS urging
the flames to greater heat, the boiling
water to higher production of steam, the
engines to increasing revolutions.
Suddenly, without warning, far down
in the furnace hole, unheard by officer or
man, amid the din OF battle, the thunder
ing rever berations OF exploding gun
powder, there arose fierce kissing noise
right inside one Of the furnaces, and those
who heard it trembled as no guns or shot
or shell had power to make them tremb
y socket bolt in the back connection at
the very fart hest interior extremity Of the
furnace had become loose. The first 10
pull himself together, the first to whom
returned the fear-orisen senses, was Boil
ermsker Huntley.
Turn off the forced draft" he cried.
Good God, Huntiey! What are you
going to dog"
Bank the fire! Quick"
"Great God, It's certain death9''
For one. Unless for all, Turn off the
draft, bank the fire.
The orders were carried out feverishly
Now plank"
And before they could stop him, this
hero had flung he plank into the furnace
right on top Of the black coal with which
it was banked, and had himself climbed
and crawled over the raging mass. far
back to where the steam was ushing like
some Kissing devil from the loosened
socket.
For three minutes he remained inside
that fearful place and then the work was
done-the ship was saved-and his friends
drew him out Of the door, the forced
draft went to its work again and in an
instant the furnace was once more raging
Huntiey, scorched. scslded, insensible,
well nigh dead, lay upon the iron floor OF
the furnace room, white around him stood
his mates dousing him with water and
using every known means for his re~us-
citation.
