TIE FEMALE UNION BENEVOLENT SOCIETY,"
An adjourned meeting Of this association was held
OH Monday evening last, in the Rev. 0. b. Browns
church. The meeting was large, and the greatest
attention was paid to, and much interest taken in,
the addresses delivered, and the Report Of the So
ciety, which was read by Dr.. Laurie At the
close Of the meeting collection was made, and
about two hundred dollars taken up, in aid Of the
objects of the Society.
This benevolent association, which done so much
good in our city last WINTER and that too with
but limited means, deserves we'll the liberal con-
tributions Of citizens, and we sincerely hope,
may receive it in tenfold degree this season.
We know it is only necessary for us to mention
the fact, that they are now ready to receive and
apply contributions, to bring out our benevolent
citizens to their aid. When an object of charity
like this has been presented to them, we have ne
yer known them backward in their libcrality.
Now that we feel the biting winds Of winter beat
ing against our bosoms may we all remember
that there are many among us who are unable to
fortify themselves against its chilling blasts and
that small portion Of our surplus funds may
save many all INDECENT family from suffering.
May we all "fel this fact to our fingers en- IS, -
las was remarked last wnter,) and may " our
fingers feel to the bottoms Of our pockets and
purses" and the prayer Of our unfortunate popu-
lation will repay us tenfold for the small sacrifices
we may make. ...
In conneAion with this, we observe that some
individuals have undertaken to get up a Ball in
aid Of the funds of this Society, and that Mr..
Carus has literally offered his rooms gratuitously
for this purpose. All those persons who arc not
satisfied with the prayers and thanks of the poor
for their charity, can have pleasure in another
way for the sum bestowed, by attending this Ball,
and render an evenings innocent amusement more
sweet by the confident knowledge Of the good
that must result from their pleasure.
Thus is presented open doors for all. Those
that prefer secret charity, have it i'll their power
to cast in their mite i'll that way. Those that wish
to ming'e pleasure with Joy, can also have their

WASHINGTON MusEuN.-We are happy to have
it in our power to announce to our citizens, that
Mr.. Warden is making preparations to open his
large collection of curosities, i'll this City. He
has taken the first and second floors Of the Ma
sonic Hall, on Four-and-a-falf street, and intends
having them fitted up for this purpose by the first
of January next, if possible. 1t is his intention
10 place his collection in the lower room, and to
have the upper one furnished for an exhibition
hall. He will engage the first talent Of the day,
to give Concerts, &c. We conceive this move to
be Of important benefit to our City, inasmuch as
there are many persons who will not visit our
Theatres, but who would not object to paying a
visit to Museum, or to pass away an evening at
a Concert, or to allow the juvenile branches Of
their families an opportunity to be gralfcd by
the innocent exhibitions generally 10 be seen at all
well regulated Museums. And, our Theatres be-
ing almost wholly closed, and there being no ether
places of amusement in the City, we hope the
Museum may become place of general resort,
and recommend it especially to those who, for
want of places Of the kind to pass away the long
and tedious evenings resort to others less amusing
or beneficial. We therefore hope, that when the
Museum is opened, it may meet with that success
the perseverance and enterprise Of its proprietor
enttle him to. Mr. Warden has been, and still
will be- at great expense in making this place such
an one as will meet the appreciation Of all. His
ability to conduct place Of this description, can
not be questioned; and if such names as the fol-
lowing will be any guaranty to the success OF The
enterprise we are sure it will meet it. Of course
the gentlemen who have signed this paper, see
the necessity of Museum in orr City, and have
every confidence in Mr.. Varden's ability to con-
duct it. TO the subscription list annexed, Ito
which Mr.. V. is receiving sgnatures,) we find
His Excellcncy Nj. Van Buren,, Peter Force,
Mayor, John G. Rives, w. w. Seaton, Col. Jas.
II. Hook, NJ ST. Clair Clarke, VIM. I. Stone,
w. c. Randall, r. Weightman, John Gadsby
McClintock Young, &C., &c. And we hope the
list may be swelled by every citizen who can
spare the money, and enable Mr.. Warden not only
to carry out this project, but thus to lay the loun-
lation to such building as lhat mentioned by US
some weeks past.
"'rhe undersigned, desiring the permanen, cs-
tabrishment and enlargement Of the Museum Of
curosi,ies owned by Mr.. John Warden, of this
City, each agree to contribute ten dollars per year
for himself and family, to enable him to rent the
Masonic Hall 70 extend his collection, for which
annual contribution of ten dollars the undersigned
are to have free admission to the Museum all eX-
hbtions in the Saloon at night to be extra. One

We take pleasure in publishing the following
appeal, especially far as it rola!cs to the slaves
sci free by the will Of the late Mr.. lIunton, OF
Virginia. lie has left a worthy family Of chill
dren, IN very moderate circumstances, who, no
doubt could, by their influence, have prevented
the slaves left by their father from clccing to go
TO Liberia. Although these slaves were worth
more than $40 ,O6G,n no obstacles have been placed
in their way, or in the way Of the executors; and
we trust the sympathy Of the benevolent will be
extended To them, and that the husband, who is
slave and can be freed for a SINAI, sum, will be
enabled to accompany his wife.

Colonization Rooms, Nor. 2a, 1899.

The General Agent Of the American Coloniza-
ton Society would appeal to the bcnevolent friends
of the colored race in behalf Ola family Of thirty
four people who have offered themselves as emil
grants furLiberia. They were recently liberated
by the will Of Mr.. Hunton, of Virginia. The
Society must receive them on the Goth December
next or they revert to their original condition Of
slavery. They are totally destitute. Beside the
eXpensc Of removing. them to Norfolk, where they
will be embarked, they must be provided with
suitable clothing and with mattresses, Blankets
&c. They ought also to be supplied with the
necessary cooking utensils and farming in,ple-
ments. These with their passage and provision
will cost at least $500.
One Of the above 81 has husband owned by
gentleman, vito offers to- sell him to the Amer
lean Ca,oniaation Society for $50. HE siNec-
uve Committee has no power to use the funds
Of the Society for such purposes. May we not
| hope that some benevolent friend of the co'ored
man will advance the sum necessary to Hberate
this slave, that he may accompany his wife to a
land Of freedom! Could like sum be invested
in way productive Of more happiness .
Although the applications from emgrants to &c
to Liberia are much more numerous than was eX-
pected, still the Executive Committee, bat for the
unusual scarcity OF money, would have been able
to procnre the means to meet this emergency.
In addition to the 81 mentioned, there now
Ia on their way from Tyler County, Va, liberia
ted BY VIM. Johnson. In freeing these slaves
he parted with the greatest portion Of his proper
ty. One Of these freed slaves has a husband
who formerly belonged to neighbor. Unwilling
to part them, Mr. Johnson, although poor, pur-
chase the man for $500, the paymcn, Of which
has deprived him Of the ability to give such outfit
to his people as he intended, and as their comfort
requires. 70 do this, the Society has to appeal
to the public charity, and believes their appeal
will not be in vain.
