Polish noblemen, who wee standing
most respectfully before him, the Ger.
man ambassador (rhurgo,) concluded
ii was the king, aud addressed him as
such with tile accustomed lormalities
This dignitied looking character turned
out TO be S,ackelberg, who received

be sent, and they purpose waiting upon their fel-

We hope the other temperance organizations in
our city will also take the matter in hand and push
forward the benefcent work. Much good was
done here last winter by these benevolent associ

and the sooner material aid for the emergency, is
