weekly. Situate amid slaw population, consisting chiefly
of the operative class, numbers apply daily for admission
whom the limited means at the diaposal of the weekly
board reluctanly compel them to decline. Winter, though
mercifully delayed, most be shortly increasing in severity,
and meteorological data indicate the probability of • season
of unusual rigour and duration.
Under these circumstances, the weekly board entreat.,

earnestly solicited.-1 am, he.,
