SOMETHING IN RESERVE FOR THE ABsEN.

es the following:
The Howard Association is constantly

quasting the officers to look after their ser.

the want Of provisions. medical attendance,

THE PRkss.-The Boston Transcript
gives a very striking instance Of the in
fiuence of the Press, in mentioning that 4
correspondent of that p,ner having alluded
TO the lack Of a perfect Bible in the Apple
dore House, on the Isle Of Shoals. soon
Afterwards the proprietor Of the house had
fifty Bibles sent to him. We recently had
q similar proof of the benefits Of advertising.
in tho prompt aud generous response Of the
public 10 brief statement published among
our items Of local intelligence. Of worthy
family in need Of assistance. Our paper
had hardly been published, when a dozen
or so of benevolent individuals, from Differ
ent parts Of the city called st the Office to
tender their assistance. A very remarkable
instance of power Of the Press in influencing
the public mind occurred last year about
this time, when the death Of two or three
very prominent gentlemen was announced,
and the cause Of their disease was attributed
to oysters. The next day scarcely an oyster
was sold in the whole city, and the oyster.
men would not have recovered from the
paralysis which their business had suddenly
experienced, il they had not resorted to the
came means Of cure which had occasioned
their hurt. They procured . certificate
from some respectable physcis ne to the Of.
feet that oysters were not unwholesome
and the day after Il was published, tina,
oys,er-sating was again resumed. and the
trade in bivalves went on again as usua
without interruption. ~. Y. Tines.
