CHARITY REQUESTED.

We the subscribers, consulting with
members from each of our Churches, con-
ceruing the necessities of the poor at this
inclement season, have agreed, in order
to raise fund to supply their necessities.
!, that Charity Sermons be preached, and
collections raised
On the first Lords day of February at
the Methodist Church, by DR.. Muir.
On the second Lords day of February
at the Episcopal Church, by Mr.. Roberts.
On the third Lords day OF February at
the Presbyterian Church, by MIR. Meade.
The time Of raising collections in the
other Churches, if thought proper. shall
afterwards be fixed upon, aad duly an
nounced.
We do not donbt hut an inclination to
relieve the needy exists among US, which
will appear when the channel is opened,
through which that relief may flow.
We plead for the poor. They are your
brethren. What they now feel, you, in a
reverse of circumstances may feel. An
association exists with which we are con
nected, and which has been engaged in
the distribution Of charitable donations
for more than year. A leading object
with this association has been to acquaint
itself thoroughly from time to time with
the number and nature Of the wants Of all
the poor of the place, in order to- faith
full and judieious distribution of sach relief
as may be entrusted to its disposal. Thro'
this channel, private as we'll as public
contributions, either in money or neces-
sary articles, we believe would be applied
to the best advantage. TO it, therefore,
we beg leave TO invite the attention Of the
town and neighborhood. Money or ne
cessary supplies will be thankfully receiv-
ed. Send the money to Mr.. Charles Page.
Cashier of the Potomac Bank---and arti-
cIes OF supply to Mr.. isaGc Robbins Store.
We pledge ourselves carefully 10 apply
such donations. We have examined the
state ofthe poor in town. Few have es-
capped our notice. The relief will be at
forded according to the necessities ofeach.
We only add, that giving to the poOryou
lend to the Lord, and what you lend to
him he will repay.
