this town.
The managers will here take the liberty
Of suggesting TO every member Of the So
ciety, the benefit which would result IRON
an effort to induce persons 10 enroll them
selves as members, or to extend their
bounty, however small.
Experience has taught the managers
that the extensive manufacture OF cloth,
while desirable as giving employment to
the industrious poor, would not be justified
in the present limited state OF their funds.
The expense Of materials and labor would
in the last year, have exhausted their
means, leaving little or nothing for the
support Of the school, or for the sick aud
suffering. The alteration of their plan in
this respect has enabled them TO give III
many cases Of very deep distress, relief
which humanity speaking would not have
been easily found elsewhere.
The children Of the school have been
furnished with 33 suits OF winter clothing,
the same number Of suits FOR summer,
SSsis:es 81 pa.rs 81 SHOES
1t is proper here to state, that the man
ayers have made regulation by which il
will become duty Of the board to hold

with a view TO the general interests Of the
institution as to cooperate with the Sun.
day school in securing careful attention
on the part Of the children belonging TO
the charity school. upon these most useful
|seminaries, the result of Christian kind
ness.
The managers have now noticed the
most important particulars in detail Of
their transactions. They again recur to
the most prominent of alI-the scantiness
of their funds. While they see many
opportunities of usefulness continually
presented to them, while they are repeat
eddy solicited TO enlarge their school by
the admission Of an increased number OF
pupils, they cannot fail to enireat all who
feel an interest in the welfare Of society
to enable them TO extend the benefit of
the institution whose affairs are intrusied
to their control aud direction. The,

and poor--,hey plead for those helpless
objects who are exposed to temptation
aud ruin, through wan; OF instruction in

This appeal win not be made in vain
to kind and enlightened public. Those

the appreciation of conscience, who recol
