ANTI.sLAvERY BAZAAR.

The Fourth Cincinnati Anti-Slavery Bazaar,
closed week before last on Friday, and notwith-
standing the rain, which fell in torrents all the
last day and evening, will fully realize the best
wishes of its friends, the proceeds amounting to
about thousand dollars Our expenses were
tri1ing, and wc acknowledge thankfully our in
debtedness TO the many kind friends who made
them 80, and who have 50 literally contributed to
this result, both by giring and buying. One fact
should not be omitted, that our own citizens have
given FAR largely and readily than ever before,
some fvs, ten, fifteen, and even fifty dollars in
goods, or money, and many who have never done
anything till now, have gladly answered our call,
aud made US feel that they approved our Efforts
This mainly attribute to the increased interest
produced by our convention in the spring.
Our variety was greater and none the less use
ful than heretofore, aud we cannot but hail the
siyns Of the times, as presented in these annual
demonstrations, as pointing most cncouraGingly
" the good time coming" About two hundred
dollars worth were contributed by our Massachus-
eta friends. Tho beautiful sea MOSES of Mrs.
Ashley, Of Sewburyport, aud the Fayal Baskets
from Mrs. Sarah Russell, of West Roxbury, at
ractod deserved attention and sold well. Also u
box Of delicate and beautiful articles from Mrs.
Shorey, Of Dcdham, and one from Mrs Jewett, Of
Dayton, were gratefully received. Neither must
forget the nice butter fruit, and yarn stockings
from Wilmington, Ohio, and the contributions in
money from New Richmond, unexpected as il
was welcome. 1t would be impossible for us to
onumcrate all the friends who have sent the
nsoful articles of every days consumption, but
t,ap frop hnarta fn- tlc aln Vn'
sake and cannot too often remind them how valu-
able they are to us, and how gratefully we appre'
ciate them. Que friend said, on seeing our fine
squashes 20 off almost before we could wish them,
that had hc known we wanted sUch things at our
Fair he could have furnished tallc full We
wish all To feel, that we want good many tables
full of all sorts IF things which good friends have,
and busy house keepers want, for next year. and
our fund might be doubled. People are beginning
" understand us, and are coming to our sales,
srpecGng the homely and solid things there which
correspond with staid and stern estimate of
Right and Wrong, Justice and Freedom, and we
must try " meet the demand. We have never
Railed, aud believe we respected in it. 1t
surely cannot be right to do that at our Fairs
which would destroy our characters elsewhere
As the appropriations Of the Society may be into
resting to those who have aided US, we would say
that our annual convention will lie sustained in
the Spring and that donations have been made to
the "Anti-Slavery Buglc," "Thc Alicned Ameri-
can, Frederick Douglass Paper" "LiberatOr,"
"Thc American Society" Henry Bbbs Paper"
Vigilance Committee" and George Thompson's
Fund" All the journals which we assist. send
their papers to for distribution every week, and
any member can have them. Tor those who have
aided us,) if they wish at the Society, on Friday
On behalf of the Board,
SARAH OTIS ERNST.
