They don't want college in Rome; but what
Rome does want, is fund to be used in the com
ing Presidential election to defeat the American
party, and give Jesuits and the Papal hierarchy
a new start in this country

Awful DestitutiOn in New Philadelphia

On Wednesday evening, the 9th instant, a
number of gentlemen held a meetiRg al the Law
Office of Hiram Patrick. in the Centre Block,
in order to take the necessary steps to relieve
10 this place, the unfortunate poor.-The town
was divided into four divisions, and committees
were appointed to visit those supposed to
be iu destitute circumstances. The report
at the next meeting of the committees was e.
nough TO shock the sensiblities Of anv man 10
whose bosom beats human heart. The amount
OF squalid poverty in our mids It was really as
tonishing. While most of our citizens are
blessed with plenty-haye warm Gres--com-
Portable sheller-ald all the necessaries and
even luxuries OF life--others, Of those who
have been created in Gofs image. was found
in want--yes, in almost starving condition
We do not wish to mention the names of any
of those who were in distressed conditions
but wi select few families reported by the
committees:
No. This family was composed Of man
his wife and six children. They we're olt of
coal and wood--hsd no meat, flour, potatoes or
groceries of any description Their stock of
provisions was reduced to peck Of corn meal.
The children and mother were almost naked
for clothing.
No. 2-This family was composed of hus-
band, his wife and one child. All sick--had
nothing in the house to eat but a little sour
crout.
No. 3-The was widow woman who had
eight children. The mother was sick in bed,
end when the committee entered. the helpless
children were attempting to appease their hun
ger by roasting pOtOtoes at their FIRE. They
had no provisions Of any kind in their house,
except few potatoes. The children were
barefooted and almost naked.
No. "A German tsmily-had nothing in
the house except little eorn-meal.
W. 5-This familyewss composed Of hus'
band, wife and several children. The fathel
and mother were both unable to work. They
had neither -four. meat nor potatoes IN the

children were also greatly IN want Of clothing.
This family bad seen better days.
Twelve other families were found ia equally
as distressed eOudiuOn. Many u them had
nothing 70 eat except few potatoes or lilds
cora meal. and their children we're shiverine
for want Of warm clothing.
On Tuesday. the committees solicited aid,
and abOu; one hundred and 6hy dollars wers
contributed TO relieve the wants ofthe unfortu.
nate poor. We regret to say, that few rich
persons were so dead to every feeling Of ha-
maniiy--thal they were 20 attached 70 The a.
mighty dollar. that they would not give faF.
Thing to relieve their ne.ghbOrs who were sui.
fering for bread Shame on them.
In connection with this subject, We would
remark, that no rich man ever made a liberal
donation Tor the bens6. Of the poor. withOat
