when the sympathy of this and every other
community has been aroused by the accumula-
ted sufferings from the wholesale conflagration
at Pittsburg, case of touching interest has &C.
Cured in our city, near our own fre-side,
which calls aloud for compassion, and demands
our aid. The incendlary has rendered home
less and shelterless a worthy family, and sud-
denly reduced Mr.. Henry Wilson with his wife
and four little children TO state of utter dest-
tuition. They escaped with difficulty in their
night clothes from their bursting residence, near
the corner of Franklin and Cove sts., on Sun
day morning. Their home thus suddenly de-
solatcd by the cruel midnight incendiary, the
hand ofndustry is at once paralyzed-the very
means Of conducting a small dairy having been
destroyed, together with snug sum Of mo-
ney collected on Saturday for the payment on
Monday of their quarters rent, was also de-
stroyed. This case of true suffering is in our
midst. These worthy people who have found
Il temporary shelter under the roof of a kind
hearted neighbor, will not themselves look us
out and ask for our but who will with
hold it from them? While thousands re being
sent elsewhere, will not portion be unostenta-
tiously devoted to the present relief of deserv-
ing and industrious family, thus cruelty depriv-
ed of their home-their whole iurniture-theIr
clothing and the very means OF their support
OF all except their lives Any contributions left
at this office, or directed to Mrs Falls, North
Cove-st., will reach the afflicted family. We
may also state that much credit is due to Mr.
James Gould and Mr. Edward Sullivan for
their timely aid in rescung the family by means
of a ladder, through an upper window.

EThe .Menageris. The entrance of the me-

truly novel spectacle, and one that will be long
remembered by the juveniles As early as 9
o'clock, crowds of men, women and children,
were seen vending their way TO the different
corners round which the procession was ex-

up the line of march through the city, headed
by the celebrated llon-tamer, Herr Driesbach,
who was mounted on beautiful horse. Next
came the great attraction, a large open car
rage, containing band of musicians, drawn
by four Of the largest sized elephants, after
which came the wagons, 81 in number, con-
tanning the different animals to be exhibited.

through the streets published in the pro-

exhibition, Corner of Charles and Camden
