1t was designed by the Society 20 introduea vs,;or
trades into the school, and particularly TO give pstr.c
ton in all that relates to dome stic service cooko,
baking bread, washing ironing &c. and TINS n oAe,

servants may be vel trained and instructed in their
dutes OF the trades, dress.nsking only has AZ vet
been introduced. An experienced dress.maker bA.

ment has been found entirely to pay n own expenses
Ii surprising and interesting to see little bare footed
girls OF twelve or fourteen years Of age with clean
aprons and clean hands at work upon rich and costly
siks and still more 30 to how neatly the work lie
DONE The success Of this experiment gives great en-
courageent 70 intro duce other trades such as shoe
binding, tailoring, and whatever can be probably
taught.
The purchase Of the house and other incidental ex
penses have drawn largely on the resources Of the
Society, whose funds consist solely Of subscriptions or
contributions raised by the individual member, and
donations earnesty solicited in money, coal gro
ceres dry goods, shoes, cast-of clothing furniture
new or old, and books. In connection with the
scbool, the Society has opened free circulating
library for the district which consists already of four
hundred volumes, and donations Of books, new or
old will be most acceptable. As an evidence that
there are thinkers as well as readers of these books,
an apple alton was made few days since by labor
ing man for Edrards on The HiH.
Should persons residing in the country be disposed
to aid in this work Of benevolence, all kinds Of
country produce would be gladly received, and vege
tables pork hams would be equal to donations in
money. Should any one be in want Of laborers, the
applications at the school for work are constant and
urgent.
In these efforts to reform female Migrants, which
aim at the prevention rather than the punishment Of
crime, every member Of society is interested and this
and similar institutions, whose members devote much
time and personal attention to the object, rely with
confidence on the cordial cooperation of the CON-
muIity, and those who have not the time will, it is
hoped contribute some small portion Of means. So
cety is responsible for the crimes Of those who grow
up in its midst in the depths of poverty, ignorance,
and temptation, and who take fearful revenge for
this neglect in the war they after wards wage upon it.
To become a member of this Society, the payment
Of two dollars only is required, attendance at its
monthly meetings held on the last Saturday Of every
month, at IL clock, at the Of the school, No.
1877 Avenue A; and if there those ladies who have
unoccupied time, who are longing for "sphere,
here is one wide es the most ambitious could desire.
Money talent, time influence and enthusiasm are all
needed the harvest is white and the aborers are few.
Let the mother leave her protected and dolzed dar-
ngs in the warm shelter of their cheerful homes for
an hour and bring to these children Of restitution and
despair come rays Of love and light from her own
domestic Altar. Let the daughter of afiuence and
luxury lay aside the that beguiles her Of her
tears and come and give to human sorrow and suffer.
ing the sympathy che wastes these airy beings Of
the mind. Let the woman who would save from
degradation and infamy the sweet innocence of girl
hood reach out Der protecting hand and lift these little
ones from the abyss to which they sinking. Let
the followers of him who went about doing good and
who said Suffer little children TO come unto me, find
here the masters vineyard, and and labor init.

To the Editor Of Tie ~ Y Tribune.
The newspapers Of this City having taken especial
pains to assert that Mr.. Cornell died from eating
poisonous oysters, we beg leave to state what are
really the facts in the case.
Mr.. Cornell and FIVE other gentlemen came to our
place on Friday evening, October ~, and partook
literally of oy sters and other refreshments. These six
gentlemen were provided, at their request with oys-
ters raw roasted broled, stewed and fried, besides
ale brandy, champagne, cabbage, and other usaai
condiments, TO the amount Of fourteen dollars. MT.
Cornell had been i'll for months and though im
proving was still in feeble health at the time he par
took Of the oysters. .
AS we wish to make merely plain statement of
facts which we readily prove, we also assert that
the friends OF Mr. cornell themselves ociicNo no
did not die from the effects Of what newspapers have
chosen to call poisonous oysters.
We make this statement over our signatures, and
are at any moment ready to verify 1t, In justice 70

been created by the press, which is as ridiculous as
il is uDfouDded. LIBBYs, No. l9 WaI-st
